It’s amazing that Clinton’s email business is somehow nefarious and illegal while all the republicans including Cheney and Bush who have done the EXACT SAME THING is something different. Why the Democrats dont stand on a mountain and repeat this daily is beyond me. Democrats have still not learned that if you wanna fight the republicans you gotta fight dirty, just like they do.

“The one email you’re referring to and the only one that they’ve released—it’s only one that they’ve released—”
The operative word being, “released.”
There’s more. Everyone does it. Anyone wonder why Congress has failed to pass a law actually outlawing the practice of using private emails to conduct government business (there are currently policies, not laws, in place)? This is exactly why Hillary’s email will be a non-issue. Every time someone speaks out about it, there will be countless examples of how that person did it too…
I’m also willing to wager that one of these folks will get nailed for KNOWINGLY passing classified information through their own private email account. Because, karma.

It’s very common. Colon Powell used a private account as Sec of State and no one’s bitching. The argument is whether it’s legal, and it seems to be and whether the server holding data was secure enough. There is no evidence or suspicion Clinton’s mail was compromised or that any of it carried high security classification. No one is alleging Clinton abused it. They are of Christie.
It’s an issue that has most of it’s utility in political bitching and pearl clutching. It’s something to bitch about during a campaign. But I’m a bit surprised the GOP’ers launched this so early. It’s going to be tired and dead next year when it counts.

We can even have Obama rename it to Go Fuck Yourself Mountain or some other suitable name to add to the Teatroll poutrage.

"We’re really not comparing the fact that she’s wiped away tens of thousands of emails that had relevant information on them because she just believes she’s entitled to do that?” he added.
Is that really what happened, though?

Sure, I mean, why would he lie about that? Seriously, it’s not like Christie has any real credibility problems of his own so we should totally take him at his word.

What they ought to be reminding Big Boy about is the fact that he went from being the #1 hope of the Republican Party to just about tied for last and the fact that the federal government is investigating his numerous and real corrupt activities that are the cause.
Christie is nothing special, he’s just another deeply corrupt politician from the state of New Jersey that is going to jail. The fact that he doesn’t realize yet notwithstanding.
President Hillary Clinton will pardon the potheads to make more room for Christie because he literally needs it.

“We can’t compare that to having national security — we’re really not, Chris, are we? —comparing a press release to having national security and classified documents running through a server that’s not protected by the federal government?”
Yes, we need to have all emails dealing with national security on a government computer so the Chinese hackers and Wikileaks fan boys know where to look.

SEE if you are a Republican it is OK to use private mail but if you are not then it is very bad to do so.
NOTE:
We should barcode Christie’s Stomach so we can track it like a Fedex Package.

Shorter Christie: IOKIYAR.
Shorter Fox: we know, we invented the term, just doin’ the old pretend “Fair and balanced” thing…
Yah, Chris, just the one e-mail…just like you had one potato chip!
Did Wallace mention that Clinton’s use of her own e-mail was perfectly legal? Why does Fox even bother with candidates hovering at the margin of error in the polls!

Christy just save yourself and all of us time, end your campaign and go back to your political career ending last term as governor.

Non issue from a legal perspective? Probably true.
But it will still be an issue from a PR perspective, because it makes it seem like she is hiding things and doesn’t want to be transparent. And using your personal email for work matters looks worse when your work is being the country’s top diplomatic official as opposed to a governor of a state.
She likely is in the clear legally, but it was still a stupid decision.

Until it starts looking like common practice…[quote=“TheyAllStink16, post:19, topic:25593”]
is being the country’s top diplomatic official as opposed to a governor of a state.

I don’t think that’s true at all. The governors are responsible for 100s of millions of dollars. I think it absolutely looks worse when someone like Walker has his own server set up in his office (which I believe he did for campaign issues or something to that effect).
I don’t disagree here, but using private email should be actually illegal. Hold everyone responsible for it. I’m kind of tired of the fainting spells we keep seeing. It makes me think of when Larry Flynt solicited information on the politicians who were going after Clinton for adultery and cheating on their own wives at the same time. Pass the popcorn.
Edited for grammar.
