I am curious, on the email tip, if youd consider indicting Melania, Ivanka and Jared Kushner as well for use of private email servers for government information. They all broke the same rule. Melania broke it hundreds of times.
I'd rather see them all indicted for it or none of them indicted. Tbh I'm just not sure how much I care about that though. I think Hillary like trump, the process crimes are half as bad as some of this fluff they've done. I'd rather see them indicted for something else worse. Use of private email is something everybody gets hammered on these days. I could have my mind changed about it, but mostly I dont care. I think if I did care tho, I'd want everyone who does it to get hit with charges or whatever. Not just people I'm opposed to politically.
Was it classified government content? If so than ya. Charge them like Hildabeast.
Sad that she got to walk, but that's what happens when a system is rigged in your favor and the opposition is spineless.
No. It's a false equivalence as they weren't doing the same thing as Hillary at all. Also, they didn't get subpoena'd by congress and immediately start deleting the evidence. That in and of itself is pretty disturbing actions from a public official.
Yeah. While i wouldn't go so far as to say its a false equivalence (because by law its the same crime), there's way more highly suspicious activity at least surrounding Clinton. One could argue that her use of a private server was to circumvent federal records keeping intentionally, and the deletion of the 30,000 emails before the Benghazi hearing was destruction of federal records, again, intentionally to avoid federal oversight.
One could also make the arguement than jared and ivanka at least were only providing data for scheduling and had not been briefed on federal record keeping policy. One could also argue that Melania, as trump has said, was unaware that a government server had to be used to send sensitive data and federal records.
I mean. Because I'm not an idiot and watched trump crowds chanting "lock her up" I figure the first fluffing thing you do is make sure your wife isnt ignoring federal records policy in the EXACT same manner as Hillary using a private server. Seems pretty obvious to me.
But there is, as sin pointed out, a pretty major difference. Considering the circumstances, i feel like the trump's knew better but idk. Maybe they're just fluffing stupid and cant help but make the same mistakes because they're so fluffing dumb. That just seems unlikely to me.
Point is, the trump's were certainly never accused of intentionally deleting thousands of emails to circumvent federal records and policy in what appears to be a cover-up of crimes shortly after a subpeona. They just, as trumps do, committed the offenses in plain sight and then denied it being a crime due to entitlement.
