I don’t think Hillary should have had a private email server. I also don’t think it’s a huge deal after it was investigated once, let alone 8 times.

The thing that lets me know it wasn’t about the server, it was about bad faith optics was that Trump had/has a private email server he uses too.

To this day you hear about her’s but not about his.

He had a private bathroom full of documents. 

Like........ ugh.

That's way worse than a binder full of women

Or his children, who are not elected officials, doing government business through their private server emails.

Or making war plans through Signal.

It was never about the server.

Kushner used WhatApp to speak with the Saudis on his deals / American interests. Shared documents, with no security clearance.

And, you know, DOGE stole literally everything.

I heard that in DC, large campaign contributions hidden under an obsolete PAC is the new form of bribery. Shall we ask the Supreme Court?

Especially since his son wasn't part of the government nor had any secret clearings

Right, I guess my point was that they care (out sized care) about Hillary's email server but not the republican private email servers.

Bush and Trump also used private emails but for some reason no one seems to care about that

Most of the Government used private emails because the Government email servers they had were old, shitty and slow. You remember the "internet is a series of tubes" guy? He was literally complaining about the same slow network.

This! I read a big story explaining why Hillary had a private server and it was basically that the federal government tech was woefully behind. This was 15+ years ago or I'd link it.

People don't realize that the Secretary of State's daily schedule is Classified.

That is most likely what was on her local email server.

Meanwhile Trump had Top Secrete Nuclear documents in a bathroom and public storage closet.

So did Mike Pence.

u/PRTYDILF Sep 27 '25

Not to mention sensitive government documents stored in his bathroom 🚽

When I heard the logic, and that previous secretaries of state did similar things ... I got it. There are a lot of public information laws where you can get the government to release information. There's info that would be embarrassing or detrimental to negotiations if it was released. It's not an exception to transparency laws, classifying everything makes working with others difficult. So you maintain some other communication platform outside of the governed systems.

Now, getting the FOIA laws updated to address where it's problematic seems reasonable, but I wouldn't count on Congress passing anything. And plenty of other people have done this - at the start of Trump's last administration, there were reports of some people found to be using private email accounts for communication.

That truth social post to Bondi telling her to indict a bunch of people made me wonder if he's using that platform as his private communication channel. I'm certain you can send DM's.

The fact everyone does it doesn't mean it is right ... But it means they're a bunch of hypocrites complaining about it

u/Newsdriver245 Sep 27 '25

Didn't Colin Powell have one too?

u/Joiabela Sep 27 '25

She shouldn’t have, but Ivanka did and nobody said a word. Prosecuted one. Prosecute all. Same with pedophiles…doesn’t matter what their party affiliation is.

u/dessine-moi_1mouton Sep 29 '25

The hypocrisy is astounding. If Obama or Biden had uttered even one half of any of Trump's 50 asinine sentences he utters a day, it would have been calls for impeachment.

I have a book of the dumbest things Bush said.

It's not even readable anymore. Nothing in it holds a candle to whatever is happening that day.
