6 other top whitehouse officials caught using private Email servers for work

True, but it's not brazen hypocrisy to not care then, not care now, but still point out the hypocrisy of Team Trump.

99% true. I agree with you, but a strong argument can be made that prior failure to prosecute constitutes tacit approval. In other words, such actions were prosecutable until Comey's arbitrary standard of "intent" was imposed; i.e. it's not actually wrong now. The problem with "intent" is that it is fully subjective... And the people who decide right and wrong in this case is this administration.

I, for one, think that is a horrible way to practice justice.

Breaking new development: it turns out that 6 other top whitehouse officials, including both Steve Bannon and Reince Priebus, were using their private Email servers to conduct official business:

This is all in addition to the recent revelation that Jared Kushner was using his private server as well. All this, right after they have been screaming themselves hoarse over Hillary for years! What were they smokin'?

Man, the Democrats are a bunch of complete saps if they can't find a way to make a political firestorm about all this!

Did they transmit classified material?

He's already been caught. It's a little like hackers, who, once caught, get hired by the FBI to explain all their tricks and prevent future ones.



They will buy fake news, no matter how outrageous and off the wall, only if it confirms their already existing biases and worldviews. But start talking to them about the mountains of solid, scientific evidence for global warming or evolutionary biology or that Obama did not have a Kenyan birth certificate, and they will find every which way but loose to try to reject it.



It was found not to be used for very sensitive information by Hillary, and likely was not by these Trump white house officials either. But the fact that the Right made such hay over it, and that the left right now is likely NOT to, is evidence that the tribalism is only on the right and this is not a symmetric situation. Symmetric would be for Democrats do drag each these guys into congress and grill them for the entire day on national TV. I will bet you that's not going to happen.

And if the Right demand that heads roll for these clowns having private servers?

Private emails in the executive branch are ok for unclassified business as long as the email is forwarded to government email to be stored.

Your page came up dead.....................did it mention this fact, or are you having another premature orgasm?

LOLz. Yeah, all the leftists are having one at this, and yet, this clearly pales in comparison in what Hillary did with her private email server with classified information and documents, and who's sole purpose was to thwart any legitimate FOIA requests for her official government records.

The two situations have only a passing similarity at best, and are most certainly not equivalent.

Indeed. That's the difference between these cases, yet one that the leftists which to ignore and falsely call them equivalent.

Not the same situation there, my friend. The transmission and storing of classified materials on an unclassified and insecure server is the difference, as is the apparent intent (never mind Comey's blind political obedience asserting the contrary - you have to call it for what it really is).

Did they send classified material through an unsecured network? That's what I was incensed about. Is that what happened, here?

Trust the goofballs to conflate one thing with another because they did not understand what the first thing was about in the first place.
