    What was the chant we heard at Trump rallies, for H Clinton using personal email for government business? "Lock her up", or something like that?

    Are we going to hear the same for all the Trump administration people (Jared, Ivanka, Bannon, McFarland) were - and Jared and Ivanka still may be - using private accounts for doing government business?

    Hmmm - I feel a double standard coming on ...

    I read the article and not only were the was no proof of the accusations but some were flatly denied.

    But if they do show that they did send classified information over private emails, I am all for prosecuting them to the fullest extent of the law, which we have learned is that you have to establish intent and that no reasonable prosecutor would bring charges in this situation.

    So what's the big deal?

    Some of you Leftist radicals STILL don't get it! It is NOT against the law to use a personal computer to do anything you like -- EXCEPT to receive, transmit, and re-transmit CLASSIFIED INFORMATION IN-THE-CLEAR (i.e., "unprotected... i.e., not within the protection of a government SCIF -- Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility)!

    This is astounding! Hyperlibs are always telling us how well-educated and how smart THEY are, and yet no matter how often this is patiently explained to them, they still don't get it! Link: https://scifglobal.com/scif-definition-what-is-a-scif/

    Nobody would have bitched about Hilarity Clinton's emails, per se, if she had contained ALL of her CLASSIFIED communications within a SCIF! She had super-duper, way-above-top-secret clearance(s) -- so it was absolutely essential that she contained all of her receptions and transmissions of classified communications INSIDE A SCIF!

    Next, hyperlibs lie and say that she never did send any communications around that had classified information in them. In fact, at the very least, she authored and sent no fewer than ONE HUNDRED FOUR of them, on her unprotected server!

    She would have been charged, tried, and convicted if it hadn't been for her stooges in the James Comey FBI and the Loretta Lynch "Justice" Department! Now, do you erudite, 'educated' egg-heads in the radical Democrat Party finally UNDERSTAND this?!

    I vote no double standard and they be held just as accountable as Hillary Clinton. And in fact they can have their attorney's go through all the emails and submit the ones that are official stuff and destroy all the others and in the meantime everyone gets immunity.

    What ya say?

    AND archived them on the government servers as Ivanka and Kushner are doing. AND if they are talking POLITICAL matters thus emails by law cannot be transmitted over government servers, that Hatch Act thingy.

    There is no hypocrisy in the post you commented on.

    The poster said if there was proof classified information was sent over private emails, the people should be prosecuted.

    Are you upset at the suggestion the same level of scrutiny that was applied to Hillary and Company should apply?

    Trump uses his personal phone so that government doesn't have a record of his calls. What's up with that?

    At least 7 on the White House staff were using personal email accounts despite the fuss they made about Hillary six years ago??Kinda defies logic.Turns out Jared is using encoded WhatsApp to communicate with the psycho Saudi Arabian MBS.They may all be violating the Presidential Records Act.

    As long as it involves the Trump Crime Family, the RW doesn't care.

    Hillary did much less and they wanted her in The Chair.

    Go figure?

    Any theories why?

    Maybe Stockholm Syndrome?

    Prosecute them. And Hillary. Everyone found guilty gets treason.

    Agreed?

    That is a good point, Blues.

    I've just been focusing on the 'classified information' aspect because that is the area I can speak accurately about after many years of experience as the holder of two different top-secret security clearances... neither of which even came anywhere close to being as elevated as the clearances that a Secretary of State like Hilarity Clinton held....

    Does anybody with a BRAIN think for one minute that every intel agency on EARTH wasn't monitoring her unprotected server?!

    [​IMG]. "My email? None o' your fuggin' business!" . [​IMG]. "Yeh, right...."

    Her server was not unprotected and the FBI found no evidence that it had been compromised.

    The Trump crime syndicate is using private accounts to hide their communications.

    Hildibeast, Strzok, and Page used government property to do private matters. What's up with that? :roll:

    Former FBI general counsel thought Hillary Clinton should be prosecuted until 'pretty late' in email investigation
    Former FBI general counsel James Baker said high-level officials at the bureau were "arguing about" whether to bring charges against Clinton, "I think, up until the end" -- and he initially thought Clinton's behavior was "alarming" and "appalling."

    Pursuant to the "statutes that we were considering at the time," Baker told lawmakers, it was "the nature and scope of the classified information that, to me, initially, when I looked at it, I thought these folks should know that this stuff is classified, that it was alarming what they were talking about, especially some of the most highly classified stuff.”
