Patrick Leahy had the perfect opportunity to put this crap to bed, did absolutely nothing, and now we are all supposed to be clutching our pearls.
This infuriates the FUCK out of me. I have run Exchange email servers and frankly probably know more about journaling email, recovering email and the systems behind it than most. I was LIVID when Bush and Cheney got away with it, wrote to Senator Leahy that was in charge of it, and he did jack shit.
Now I'm supposed to forget all of that and be outraged when Hillary Clinton did the same damn thing.
You want to point a finger? Point one straight at Leahy that let Republicans slide on it LONG before Democrats did it. But if Republicans want to make hay over it - go for it. Your little darlings that you sheltered (with the help of a Democrat by the way) are going to be implicated right along with them.
Which we shouldn't even be talking about this in the first place - but when you let people sit and break the goddamn law, this is what you get, more corruption, lawlessness and general "oh well".
Sorry, this is an issue that I am intimately familiar with and it pissed me off then and pisses me off now. Do not tell me for one second to blame Republicans. You can point directly to the man that could have put a fucking stop to it, but gave Republicans a pass on it. I know - I fucking wrote the man myself, Patrick Leahy, D-VT.
