Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I'm sure this will be prosecuted just as heavily as Hillary was.
Folks, is having a Gmail account the same as deleting emails off your own server after getting a subpoena, or do I not care about the truth as long as I can defend Democrats
Hillary wasn't prosecuted, though she probably should have been. But, she was grilled by government committees for many hours.
I mean, they investigated it so thoroughly and decided it wasn't criminal
Deciding not to prosecute isn't necessarily the same as deciding it wasn't criminal.
Fair enough, but I stand by the point I was making
Do you think they would have prosecuted if it had been a low level employee doing the same thing? Running their own private email server, doing government business on that server?
I think they would have, that's why I think it's important to note that they chose not to prosecute her despite it being something that would have been prosecuted for other less powerful people.
Was it as big a deal as the GOP made of it? No. But, it's still a rule that everybody else has to follow or they get charged.
So we know what to expect.
Wait... So you admit that she was grilled by people who had every intention of destroying her career, and that those people never brought criminal charges... But they should have?
Do you know more than the people who spent way too much time investigating it? Why should she have been prosecuted?
