Where have we heard this before....
Reagan Testimony IranContra | User Clip | C-SPAN.org
I'm sorry, but this is a lot of excitement about nothing. Setting up a private email server for the Secretary Of State was common practice - Powell and Rice both did it, and they are Republicans.
They are talking about charging her with a violation that applies to any government official who ?knowingly and willfully communicates? information ?to an unauthorized person"? Hillary will just argue that the information wasn't classified, or they didn't know it was classified, and that it was sent to someone in the state department who should have been authorized to receive in the first place.
Of course, the Republican side will continue saying "she lied". LOL. Let's be realistic here. Hillary Clinton doesn't remember the contents of each email, who sent them, and if any of them received classified information. How many emails were on that server? Twenty thousand?
The Republican party constantly backs themselves into a corner where they loose no matter what. Even if they win, they loose. They almost defeated Obamacare. Imagine if tens of millions of people suddenly lost their healthcare in the United States, and these tens of millions of people went without healthcare for two or three years until our government unfucks themselves. The Republican party almost pulled it off.
This is the same exact thing - Let's just say Hillary is found guilty and gets a fine. That's a huge win for the Republicans, right? Not so much. We'll have to investigate Powell and Rice, because they did the same thing. And then we'll need to investigate members of Congress, because we have members of Congress who have used private email servers.
But what, let's not stop there. Bush, Rubio, Walker, Christie, and Perry ALL used private email servers while in office. While it's unlikely they had any classified information, it's most likely they violated both federal and state laws about how they handled their information, and what information the should have released by didn't.
Even if the Republican wins and Hillary is charged, it will be minor, and then we'll spend the next four years ripping into and investigating dozens of Republicans. Hillary will go on to be President, and lots of Republicans will loose their careers because of it.
