No official statments or MSM news on this but just saw a speculative comment on internets. However, knowing Trumpster's instinct of rewarding loyalty, could this actually happen? He was Trump guest at Presidential debate.

The Ambassador who worked from a Nairobi bathroom to avoid State Dept. IT

If you think Clinton's e-mail scandal is unbelievable, you haven't heard about Scott Gration.

The US Embassy in Nairobi, Kenya, where former Ambassador Scott Gration worked out of a bathroom so he could use Gmail.
US State Department

The current scandal roiling over the use of a private e-mail server by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is just the latest in a series of scandals surrounding government e-mails. And it’s not the first public airing of problems with the State Department’s IT operations—and executives’ efforts to bypass or work around them. At least she didn’t set up an office in a restroom just to bypass State Department network restrictions and do everything over Gmail.
However, another Obama administration appointee—the former ambassador to Kenya—did do that, essentially refusing to use any of the Nairobi embassy’s internal IT. He worked out of a bathroom (http://www.newrepublic.com/blog/104484/why-scott-gration-really-resigned) because it was the only place in the embassy where he could use an unsecured network and his personal computer, using Gmail to conduct official business. And he did all this during a time when Chinese hackers were penetrating the personal Gmail inboxes of a number of US diplomats.

It's gotta be true then! Especially if the "fake news" MSM isn't reporting it!

MSM reports mostly fake news about important stuff like wars, WMDs or Presidential election polls etc, they are generally pretty accurate on trivial news events.

So do you know the difference between opinion/speculation vs news?

Opinion by definition is subjective and does not have to be accurate and objective like "news".
