Oh, and props for not defending Hillary's use of the server. At least your honest enough not to defend that. More than we can say for Huey and Ciggy.

No, nothing she did was against the law. The only requirement she had with emails is that they had to be archived and given over upon request. Two criteria she has had no problem fulfilling. The law you're speaking of actually got passed after Hillary's use of personal emails, so she's covered there too.
No need to look up this info on Bill and Hillary they have had other people driving them around for the last couple of decades.
You know like all the common folk do.

I would love to have the election about all of these things and more, but the plain fact is that the GOP doesn't. ISIS is just as much of a Republican problem as a Democratic one. In fact Rand Paul blames the Republicans for the rise of ISIS. As far as immigration goes, the Republicans still oppose reform and have no solution beyond building electric fences. The Republicans have no alternative ready to go for healthcare. And whatever plans they do have, it's likely millions will be left without coverage if they get their way. And the economy is steadily doing better. In fact, we just added 280,000 jobs last month and over a million jobs in 2015 alone. So the Republicans are running from this issue, as well.
Make no mistake, the Republicans are desperately trying to avoid an issues-based election.
wow, 4 tickets in 18 years! How can he possibly be president?!?! This is an outrage!
Why do the Republicans need their own servers? Private emails are like weed in Washington. Everyone has done it. So why the outrage over Hillary? And why didn't you put Bush in your above complaint now that you know that he did the same exact thing as Hillary?
So everyone in government should have their own server and just turn over the e-mails they think they should.
Benghazi has had a 13 hearings and 6 investigations. And all of them have found the same exact thing: No evidence of any wrongdoing. But hey, maybe Gowdy will get lucky on investigation number 7...
Who knows? But one thing is for sure. This isn't so much of a "Hillary" problem as an "everyone in Washington" problem. If you want to complain about private emails, that has merit. But to pretend like Hillary was the only one using them is ridiculous.
Me too. Do you think they were unjustly profiled or did they use their position to get off?
For the same reason a whole host of officials in the bush admin used a private email server owned by the RNC!!!
This could be of import.
If elected he wouldn't drive, but if elected he could make all sorts of tickets go away.
On the other hand, law enforcement in his state may be incompetent.
Now I'm intrigued.
Nice try.

During "The Real Story" today, Gretchen Carlson reported that Hillary Clinton has broken her silence, requesting that the State Department release the emails associated with the private account she used while serving as secretary of state.
Carlson explained that in 2007, Clinton was outraged while she was a senator about what some claimed was President George W. Bush's administration hiding information on secret email servers.
Clinton bashed the administration in a video stating that "our Constitution is being shredded...we know about the secret White House email accounts. It is a stunning record of secrecy and corruption..."
Fox News chief White House correspondent, Ed Henry, and former White House press secretary, Dana Perino, explained to Carlson what was really going on in 2007 and how it is different from the current situation Clinton is in.
"I appreciate the opportunity to clarify this," Perino said. "Some have suggested what Hillary Clinton is accused of doing, was the same as what the Democrats accused some people in the White House of doing back in 2007."
Perino explained that Bush administration had two email accounts, one for official government business and another for Republican National Committee business. She said that what is happening now to Clinton is completely different from 2007.
"She is the head of a government department, she's a cabinet secretary and under the Obama administration guidelines and the State Department guidelines of 1995, 2009, and 2013, say any government business has to be done on an official government account," Perino said. "To me that's very black and white."
"I think Dana is mostly right there, that there is difference here in that Secretary Clinton is not accused of mixing private and official email," Henry added. "She basically only used private email, and never used State Department email."
I did say let's ask Bush AND Clinton about his server in my prior post, you ignored it.
Also, did a little digging on Jeb's server. All public and above board. Hillary, not so much.
http://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/jeb-bush-owns-his-own-email-server
Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush owns the server that runs jeb@jeb.org, the personal email account he used as governor to conduct official, political and personal business.
Asked who controls the server that operates that email address, Bush spokeswoman Kristy Campbell responded: “He owns it.”
The server was housed in a state-owned office building during the years that Bush served as governor, from 1999 until early 2007. A Bush source familiar with the situation said there were “digital security” measures in place to protect Bush’s emails, but declined to elaborate on how the server and its data were physically and digitally kept from harm. The aide also declined to elaborate on whether the server was “homebrew,” as an email server housed in Hillary Clinton’s Chappaqua home was described by The Associated Press in a Wednesday report.
Using a personal email address and running the address on a personally owned can help protect emails from subpoenas and other legal actions.
Privately, Democrats have been quick to point the finger at Bush for using a personal email as Clinton has come under scrutiny for not having a government email address when she was Secretary of State. Republicans argue the two situations are far from the same.
The existence of Bush’s private email address was widely known to the public and to the press when he served as governor, and he routinely fielded public and press inquiries himself using the address.
Under Florida’s sunshine law, Bush was required to release the emails that related to conducting state business. Those emails are available online. A Bush aide said there was a process in place to decide which emails fell into that category and that Bush staffers and his general counsel’s office decided which ones to release.
On Thursday, Bush on his Twitter account urged Hillary Clinton to release her emails. “Transparency matters. Unclassified @HillaryClinton emails should be released. You can see mine, here,” he tweeted, including the link to his emails.
Ladies and gentleman, I present the pinnacle of jscott's intellectual achievement.
2nd grade level poetry.
I think that sentence structure is more interesting than a second grader would concoct.
Yep, you got me. Jeb owning and controlling a private server is nothing like Hillary owning and controlling a private server simply because Jeb kept his server in his office instead of his house. It's so clear now. You sure owned me good. Oh wait. Turns our that Jeb took the server with him after he left office...And he only turned over about half of his emails...And he turned them over only after he left office...And was still releasing emails a full seven years after he left office. But beyond that, the two situations are entirely different. Damn, you so smart.

Of course it's politically motivated. That doesn't mean there isn't anything there. It also doesn't make it a personal attack.
6 Republicans led investigations and 13 Republican led hearings say there isn't anything there. What is left but to use it to personally attack Hillary?
Are you dense? Jeb's was public, Hillary's was secret. You don't see the difference?
Hey, remember when the left blamed Romney for a woman's death? Boy, that was all about the issues.
You must mistake me for someone who wants Jeb to be President. How about we take him and Hillary out and call it even.
Let's get to something important to you, like how many speeding tickets Jeb has.
I'm guessing you missed this story:
"Jeb Bush used another, previously unreported email address when he was governor of Florida, records show — the newest wrinkle in an evolving debate over public officials’ use of private email accounts."
http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...round-jeb-bushs-unknown-private-email-account
See my previous post. Let's disqualify Jeb and Hillary. Problem solved.
Actually I don't remember this. Probably because it was an attack buried so far down on the Democratic playbook, that it never got much airtime. It also serves to highlight what the GOP desperation. While this Romney story was an obscure attack that never hit the bigtime, the emails are all the Republicans can talk about.
While I would love to have Hillary step down, neither her nor Jeb appears to have broken the law when it comes to emails. So it shouldn't be something that can disqualify them.

And for the last time. I don't care about private email addresses. I know everyone uses them, and not once in this thread did I mention a problem with them.
Now a secret server in a private residence by the Secretary of State? Seems a bit off to me.
I'm thinking she got pulled over quite a bit for DWH. You know, kinda like DWB, but different.
Didn't she specifically promise the Obama administration that she would not do that?
Have a server hidden in the wall of her home, use private email instead of secure channels, waddle when she could have just walked, etc.
