    We're talking about a specific subject.

    Usage of personal email accounts and servers.

    My statement rings true. With a 90% approval rating from Republicans, they as a whole, truly don't care that his staff conducts WH biz over Whatsapp.

    You heard Maris....

    I'd rather that they all use government accounts like they're supposed to for both security and public records reasons. I never let my kids off with using their sibling's bad behavior as an excuse for their own. That said, I'm pretty surprised that Hillary's clear intention to maintain absolute control over access to her communications while Secretary of State doesn't give you a bit of pause, dviss1.

    So is every other private server.

    Maybe, although apparently it wasn't successfully hacked, so maybe it wasn't so bad.

    On the other hand, emails always have both a sender and a receiver, so all those emails (except maybe the ones she sent to Bill) exist or existed on other servers that aren't under her control.

    No question but what she absolutely shouldn't have done it, but I'm not sure it's a worse problem than Trump using an unsecured cell phone.

    True, but at least it's a third party who controls the servers and that party has no reason to delete data for political or legal convenience.

    Not sure we'll ever know the truth of that matter.

    Well sure, but there's no log of what official correspondence was sent and received, which is a FOI problem. Additionally, good luck getting someone like a Saudi sheik to cooperate in providing you a copy of that email where he offered $500K to the Clinton Foundation in exchange for access to the Secretary of State.

    Guess I'm just weird, but I still haven't gotten to the point where I use the jackass-in-chief as a barometer of who's behavior is more unethical, insecure, or illegal. All I've got to say is that it must be a great time to be a foreign government spying on US officials.

    I have forgotten now. Was it Wikileak or Russians that wrote the Hillary emails that sunk her ass?

    It was Comey - announcing she was under investigation, but failing to say that Trump was too.

    I don't think Comey wrote any of them either. But he did fail to tell anyone why Trump was being wire tapped.
