2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Hillary Clinton's Private Server... Laugh it off. Nothing to see here... move along please! [View all]Sancho
(9,070 posts)Hillary, Colin Powell, Condi Rice all used private email. It was perfectly legal. Powell has NEVER turned over a single email.
Her only obligation was to keep copies for the record. She did that...
That was actually hardly necessary since anything sent to or from a .gov address was captured anyway.
The whole email thing is a straw man. Do you expect public officials to record and keep every email, text, document, video recording, audio recording, tweet, internet post, internet search history, etc. It's crazy. Email is a drop in the bucket.
Public officials have a limited obligation to be transparent, but they can't do the job if every item is public. No one has ever accused Hillary of violating any rules of secrecy. To the contrary, they've reviewed her over and over and cleared everything.
This is a GOP created conspiracy theory based on the gullibility of people who already "hate Hillary" or haven't worked in a public office.
