Longtime Clinton ally James Carville said former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's use of a private e-mail account might have been about more than convenience.

Appearing on ABC's This Week on Sunday, Carville defended Clinton, saying her e-mail practices were legal. But, he added, she may also have had prying Republican eyes in mind when she chose to do business through a private e-mail server.
