So, if it's a NOTHING BURGER for Trump, then it is so for Hillary.



How can you honestly equate the two, SGG?

I agree that if they are using government emails to conduct personal business that is a problem. There is nothing here that comes close to what Hillary did. Comey himself said that she broke the law, but they weren't looking to press charges because she didn't intentionally break it. Anybody else would have had their ass nailed to the wall under those circumstances.

This current issue will not be used as a get out of jail free card for Hillary.

This wasn't because of Trump and the campaign either. They were investigating Hillary for this before Trump even started running.

So, nothing compares. Apples and Oranges. Hmmmm...

So I basically jumped to conclusions and found Jared guilty before any evidence can be properly investigated. And I'm basically chanting "lock him up" before the FBI has had a chance to review the documents in question.

Hmph, where have I seen that before?

I don't care what the original story says. The point is they all use unauthorized e-mail addresses, that is MY POINT.


It seems that there are others who think along those lines as well:

Quote:

James Norton, a former senior homeland security official during the George W. Bush administration, said private accounts pose security risks — a criticism often raised against Mrs. Clinton.

“These private email accounts become targets of phishing attacks or other types of ways of collecting information,” he said. “It’s an issue not only for the person who owns that account, but the person who is receiving the emails. It is introducing risk into the system.”

Richard W. Painter, a chief White House ethics lawyer under Mr. Bush who is now the vice chairman of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, a watchdog group, said that there is often a “gray area” over what is considered official business. But, he said, “If it has anything to do with the president’s policy, including defending the president’s policy to the press, it’s very difficult to escape that being official.”

“I think Kushner was sloppy to do this,” he said. “I think Hillary was sloppy. I don’t think any of it was criminal.”

The private email accounts immediately triggered questions in Congress. Representative Trey Gowdy, Republican of South Carolina, who was among those who most vociferously criticized Mrs. Clinton’s email use, sent a letter to the White House and federal agencies asking about the Trump administration’s personal email use.

Representative Elijah E. Cummings, the senior Democrat on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, asked the White House to make sure that none of Mr. Kushner’s emails are deleted.

Mr. Cummings noted that Trump administration officials had previously said that senior White House officials did not use multiple email accounts. And he reminded the White House about the grilling that Mrs. Clinton received from congressional Republicans over her email practices.

Both political parties have fought for years over the use of private email accounts. Long before Mrs. Clinton’s emails were a campaign issue, Democrats criticized members of the George W. Bush administration for the practice.



But, of course, according to our fellow FFF.net contributors, we are comparing apples and oranges.

Let me quote WISHY

Quote:

Officials are supposed to use government emails for their official duties so their conversations are available to the public and those conducting oversight. But it is not illegal for White House officials to use private email accounts as long as they forward work-related messages to their work accounts so they can be preserved.
This was from the NYT.

Now, from the NPR article ...

Quote:

White House Senior Adviser Jared Kushner has used both a private email account and an official email address to communicate with other government officials, according to his attorney. Responding to media reports about Kushner's email habits, his lawyer said, "All non-personal emails were forwarded to his official address."


So, what's the problem? I think the more we find out about this, the less and less there will be of this story. In fact, it's already disappeared from the MSM, probably because they realized it was a nothing-burger. If there had been a tidbit of impropriety about it, the MSM would have been after it like a terrier after a rat.

Hillary was in/around the White House for 8 years, Jared and Ivanka have been around it less than a year. The only reason they are doing something about it now, is BECAUSE of Hillary. If they had not gone through it with Hillary, how many e-mails do you think they would have found????

They all do it and now they DEFINITELY KNOW THEY SHOULD NOT HAVE. There is NO EXCUSE for the stupidity NOW.




Big big difference between a WH underling using a private ACCOUNT for a 100 or so e-mails , fully disclosing them, and the SecState, hiding her own, private server, in her own home, with minimal security ( which got hacked ) and allowing foreign unfriendlies access to 1000's of top secret documents, e-mails and the addresses to god who knows , lying about it to Congress, destroying govt property, etc, etc, etc...

Not that I'm aware, but what is your point? Just shows how corrupt Obama and the Deep State are.
