Hilary Clinton's not the first nor only politician guilty of doing this, NY Daily News just put together five other notables: - Sarah Palin - Mitt Romney - Karl Rove - Andrew Cuomo - Chris Christie aide Bridget Anne Kelly http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/5-examples-lawmaker... It definitely seems less than ideal for these rules to be abused like this. The problem is, how do you stop it? It's unreasonable to e…

Cuomo's case seems even more egregious. He's allowing the destruction of government emails while a federal corruption investigation is going on:

Hillary is the front-runner in the democratic field. And the republicans are putting Jeb Bush forward as "most electable", whatever the hell that means.

I suppose the power elites are freaking out right now because neither of those bluebloods should be allowed anywhere near the white house.

Will status quo go out the window with the next president, or will we continue with the endless war, bailout, QE, and surveillance policies of the Clintons, Bushes, and Obama?

How many of those were high ranking federal officials with access to confidential material at the time and have ambitions for running for President?

None of those even begin to reach the level of Clinton's conduct. She conducted ALL communications through the private email. None of the above used private emails exclusive. Most of them don't even sound like they used the private emails the majority of the time.

This is just an attempt at associating a larger issue with a bunch of smaller ones so people will think of it as a minor one.

Honestly, I don't expect the Secretary of State to be emailing the baby sitter, I expect one of the several assistants/admins they have to do that.

I can't think of a lot of reasons of do this other than to attempt to hide things

Wouldn't it be stopped by enforcing the law? Say, bring charges against violators? Let them explain themselves in court. That's what court is for.

What difference, at this point, does it make?

pretty much her words about Benghazi and people got killed for our screw up there. The point it makes is, this is not acceptable, should never be acceptable, and just because you weren't caught when you were in office is no excuse for not going after you.

Well, I think it depends on what the definition of 'is' is. But I feel your pain.

Oh, definitely more of the same. Until this nation's citizens stop the my party is better than your party BS and actually start paying attention to what these people are doing to our country, we'll never have change.
