How'd that work in the Bush/Cheney case?
Relevance?
Of course not
Typical. of persons of this political persuasion response to something that debunks or goes against their ideology is ..........oh look a squirrel.

Options.....
A) Blame Bush, Trump or Reagan
B) Call it a "manufactured controversy".
C) Say that Republicans do it too, so she shouldn't be singled out.
D) Give Hillary credit for her well deserved success.
I'll go with B, C, and D. Except I don't say she shouldn't be singled out, I'm saying if you're going to single her out, for stuff that she actually did do and not the manufactured crap, then it really makes no since to put such an emphasis on her because it should be put everyone. If we put all politicians under such scrunity, we'd probably be screaming for more prisons so there'd be room for them all.

As we can see from the following article those with political "clout" do not have to answer for their screw-ups whereas those that don't are punished. Note the close similarities to the Hillary issue

Seems to me like it's time the government make an official electronics policy that addresses such things. The military is just now getting those who've pretty much have always had a phone and camera with them, so it seems they may need to formally address that.

I'm willing to pay taxes to imprison more politicians.
Besides, the imminent threat of sanctions for illegal behavior would modify their behavior.

According to this article, the rules for preserving emails from a personal server were updated in 2009, the year she took office.

That means the rules that would apply to her would be different from what applied to those before her.

"But while the report acknowledges personal email use by previous secretaries, it also notes that the rules for preserving work emails sent from a personal email account were updated in 2009, the year Clinton took office."

You stated the administration is covering for Hillary. Yet there is no proof. It's a conspiracy theory.

This apparent failure to address changing technology is how Chelsea Manning got information out (people thought she was listening to songs on a CD-R, but it was blank and she burnt the information to the disc). We're not talking about one or two isolated incidents, but a number of events that are revolving around issues that stem around the way technology has totally changed information and data storage, retrieval, and transfer.

Just because your media says it, doesn't mean it's true. RW media is notorious for conspiracy theories. They rely on confirmation bias.

and you sources are right

More right than 'conservative' media.
I don't think, at this time, that the administration is covering for the Hillary. It is an Obama appointee as the State Dept IG that has shot down her lies.

Seems that the Bernie has finely seen the light

Of course it's damaging. I don't deny that. But prison isn't in order. I could care less if it's Bernie or Hillary. The person who wins the popular vote (not special delegates) should get the nomination.

But that isn't how it works. Don't you want to run from a party that the big guns/big money control who their nominee is? Hillary is the darling of the big money people on Wall Street. I though you abhorred those type of individuals?

Clinton has received more money from the financial sector than any of the remaining candidates.
So what? That wasn't my point. Do you think the many Pubs complained when they got donations from Wall Street to the point whereas they returned the money?

On top of this, if this was of great concern to you, then Bernie should clearly be your choice-- but he ain't.
