There is way too much hubris in Congress.
And that arrogance is not partisan.

Rather than say they did it too...
how about we put a stop to these games.

When you choose to be a public servant
you choose to give up part of your privacy.

Politicians shouldn't get more privileges because
the work for the public, they get MORE scrutiny!

Should we put a stop to the games now that Trey Gowdy has been outed?

She brought this on herself,
and is not accepting responsibility.

It's pittiful that she has to resort
to using republicans as her defense.
She knows it was unacceptable when
they did it and chose to follow their example.

Shouldn't a candidate for president hold their self
up to a higher standard than what republicans did?

HRC did nothing illegal--the archivist of the US said as much. Yet she has been continually hounded and berated by PARTISAN hacks and ill-meaning assholes like this nitwit who are playing the "Do as I say, not as I do" game. They are being aided by useful tools amongst the citizenry who are either cluelessly or mendaciously giving their bullshit assertions a veracity they simply do not merit. That crap needs to CEASE.

When you choose to be a public servant, you don't agree to be a punching bag for partisan witch hunters who Make Shit Up to suit their agendas.

The point that you're missing here (and going along with) is that the Republicans are INVENTING a "crime" to play a "gotcha" game. I'm so pleased that ALTERNET is playing the "If she's that, then what are you?" game in return.

Pointing fingers is a GOOD thing. That's how you end these bullshit games-by calling people out on their nasty-ass lies.

This was an unforced error on Hilary's part.
She picked the tune she's dancing to, not republicans.

How about we DEMAND all public servants to go above and beyond
skirting rules and engaging in morally ambiguous acts?

If not, Democrats are no better than the republicans we
campaign against.

If this was SoS Lindsey Graham would this be OK?
NO, it would rightfully be an effing outrage!

There was no actual error--the "error" is a complete and total fraud, and comes from people who shop this story and play a game that we all know isn't true.

If this was SoS Lindsey Graham and the archivist of the US said the same thing, you know full well that:

1. The NYT would NOT have covered it;

2. The television news would not have mentioned it;

3. Anyone who brought it up would have been told "That dog won't hunt. He didn't do anything illegal."

You're apparently forgetting that she archived her emails. Everything she did was legal and proper.

GW Bush's White House destroyed FIVE MILLION emails. Where was the outrage when that happened? Anyone? Buehler? Hmmmmm? Investigation? "Gate" suffix? ZZZZzzzzzzzzz. There wasn't any of that.

Anyone who continues to play the "false equivalency" card after comparing and constrasting those two events just is not credible to my mind.

Trey Gowdy and Jason Chaffetz are both nothing but Republican hypocrites!

The use of the private email system placed control of the record outside the government. Executive agency records are the property of the government. There is also the problem of protection of classified materials. Relying on messages sent to agency subordinates to fulfill government custody is not sufficient. While there is a copy, she was responsible for documenting the activities of the Office of the Secretary of State. There is also the matter of avoiding subpoena and FOIA.

The Federal Records Act applies to Executive agencies and not legislative. The records of a representative are the property of the representative. I do not know the rules of the House of Representatives but I suspect they allow private e-mail carriers. Congress routinely exempts themselves from rules they make for others.

I doubt Hillary will do time for violation of the records act.
