Where are all the Trump supporters? Care to comment?

Should we "lock them up"?

Looks like they already deleted all the email accounts for most of them. Article doesn't mention if these are active or holdovers preinauguration.

Were they using this private e-mail server to send classified documents the way that Hillary Clinton was proved to have used her private e-mail server to do ? Yeah, i didn't think so.

CITATION NEEDED

Please show where Hillary Clinton personally sent classified information in any way that was criminal. You should be able to do so since you claim that this was proved.

Other than that, whoever broke the seal on this story should probably realize that not all the facts have trickled in just yet. What is clear is that there need to be some stricter guidelines in place for records-keeping when it comes to electronic communication.

Clinton said, "I never received nor sent any material that was marked classified."
...
We rate this statement False.
...
Editor's note: The day after we published this fact-check, Comey testified before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee on July 7. Comey said he believes three emails on Clinton's server contained information labeled classified at the time they were sent. This information was not properly marked in that the emails did not have a classification header, even though a "(c)" immediately preceded text in the body of the emails, designating confidential information. Without the clear classification header, it's reasonable to infer that Clinton did not realize these three emails contained classified information, he said.


So, two things: 1. See the editor's note at the end of the article. 2. This does not address criminality, which I asked you to cite proof of criminality.

I did not cite criminality in my post, only that Hillary Clinton had sent classified e-mails through it. YOU were the one that cited criminality.

If Hillary is going to prison then why did Trump invite her and Bill to his inauguration?

True, I did cite criminality. Until and unless evidence of criminality is uncovered with the use of private email by Trump's staff, this is a non-story, just like it should have been with Hillary Clinton. GOP'ers can't have it both ways by treating these situations differently.

Sure they can. Politicians are absolutely required to have separate accounts for political activities. It is only when they use these private accounts for official business (e.g. Bushies) or indeed, ALL official correspondence (e.g. Hildabeast) that there is a legal problem.

Well, theoretically. In practice, politicians are above the laws they make for themselves.

If none of them have ".gov" email accounts and use them its the same thing as Clinton.

There is ZERO problem with politicians using private email accounts. The problem is with politicians using private accounts for anything involving their government work. Private email for their personal/private stuff, .gov emails for government / work related communications so they can be archived/retained/requested under FOIA etc.

This is not a difficult concept.

Lol, and Bush never allowed for criminal use of torture because he was never charged.

The problem of private servers is when they are used improperly. Hillary should not have been discussing government business on hers, not should any administration. Private servers also should not be used to avoid FOIA. That's been an issue. Then millions of emails- OOPS, sorry we lost them but an accident.

But there's a very good reason to have a private server, the Hatch Act.

There is a partial solution, a legally mandated off-site real time multiple location backup by a third party selected by Congress, who would be subject to draconian penalties for "accidentally" deleting emails and the like.

Trump lost the popular vote. Get over it and move on. No need to pile on him at this point.

I like the idea but if you're using a private party to provide any of the resources or equipment it's problematic. Would need to be government-owned equipment and federal employees although you could demand the political parties cover the costs of both.

I think the advantage in using tax dollars is that there would be relative immunity from tampering, which would prevent "accidents" I'd like to see parties pay, but into a fund not managed by them.

Seems to me the only one piling on Trump about losing the popular vote is Trump.

Multiple people in this thread calling for "lock them up"....a losing campaign slogan, is kind of like piling on at this point. We all understand he lost, we get it.
