In reply to the discussion: Hillary's classified email [View all]apnu
(8,790 posts)But what you say is fair, from where I sit. If we're talking about the records act, that's a law violation. Is it a felony or misdomener or something else, I don't know. If we're talking about handling classified data in email, that's under regulations of multiple government agencies.
Knowing the difference is important.
Whatever happened, Hillary will probably be OK. We haven't investigated or prosecuted the Bush Administration for losing millions of whitehouse.gov emails.
So while everybody's panties are in a wad over Hillary's email, those same people yawn over what Bush did. Its hypocritical.
Which is why I say this very unpopular thing: Hillary Clinton's email scandal is a serious matter that should be looked at, but it is also a witch hunt at the same time. Because the people calling for it and the people prosecuting it have a political ax to grind against Clinton and that taints the investigation.
If we're going to be real, lets put all the cards on the table and acknowledge them.
