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)if you "fired" or prosecuted everyone in government who mistakenly sent an email or lost track of a document, you wouldn't have a single person left.
Especially if you have a large department with thousands of routine emails everyday. If you leak the top secret plans for a nuclear submarine to the Russians - that will get you prosecuted. That's not what we're talking about here. When you read the next 4000 emails (you can see a bunch of them now), you'll see what you are so upset about is nothing.
If you are correct, every newspaper in the country would print the names of government employees who are arrested or fired everyday. I don't see any names!!
Your statement is simply wrong: "There are millions of Americans who wouldn't be allowed to make that "mistake" and keep their jobs. And some are charged as criminals."

Note that there is no illegal email, and each email on the top says "Unclassified".
