That's irrelevant. People will have been fired for that breach, or at the very least, been reprimanded. Clinton set up her own personal server, completely out of control of any government department, and then proceeded to sent official emails which included classified information through it. That's like joining a company in some managerial role, being given a corporate email account, and then turning around and saying "forget it, I'll use my Gmail account instead", only it's worse because it's the government where you have be held accountable, and also because of the classified information.

...

I was a federal employee until 2005.  I had a .gov email account and, I know this is hard to believe but every few months I'd get a message from Tech Support to  delete my old emails to save hard drive space.  No one backed them up.  They kept them on magnetic tape for 30 days or so and then re-cycled the tapes.  As a union official there were some emails that were very useful to us and I saved those to a personal email account that I had set up for just that purpose on Hotmail.  I found it enormously amusing that in 2013 when the Lois Lerner case blew up that they were still using the same fucking system 8 years later... which is like a geologic time scale in the computer field.  

Now, none of this matters to the FOX FUX because you're right.  We'll hear all about Whitewater and blowjobs and Paula Fucking Jones again.  The republicunts will do anything they can to avoid talking about how disastrously they fucked this country up the last time they had power.

My problem with the asshole electorate is that they have lousy memories.

I don't think you and I agree about what the "issue" is. I'm not bothered by the fact that emails were deleted; if the policy was to delete them to save space, then so be it. I'm bothered by the fact that classified information was sent via a private email system, something which is illegal, and which is actually grounds for losing security clearance, as well as a position in government. I'd had security clearance before, including access to a secure email system. If I had copied information from that system and sent it via a regular non-secure email, I would have been fired, lost my clearance, and could have faced criminal charges.

It shouldn't be one set of rules for regular workers, and one set of rules for elected officials. A person who is so lax with sensitive information, especially classified information which national security, should *not* be allowed to be a candidate for President.
