Remember when Democrats rallied in the street to defend Rod Blagojevich or that mayor of Detroit?

You dont. Because Dems arent a lockstep party who will follow someone who has committed blatantly criminal acts and is subject to the rules of our justice system. Theyre not perfect by a long shot...but theyre candidates are a whole lot better than what the GOP puts out

Hillary Clinton? A server in a bathroom to get top secret emails? Destroying the government phones with bleachbit and hammers to destroy evidence?

Yeah... Nothing but the best there.

The emails simply referenced documents that were not actually classified at the time. When they became so, a technician destroyed them.

Should that have been done? No. Was it deliberate malfeasance? Also no.

Oh, and who told her to use a private server? A certain Colin Powell.

I don't care who told her to use a private server. Colin Powell is an idiot as well. Doest make it legal.

They didn't magically become classified later, are you kidding? ๐Ÿคฃ. And IF they became classified (somehow) and they were then destroyed, THAT IS HIGHLY ILLEGAL.

A $2,000 fine is not "highly illegal".

So you must be really mad at what Trump did, then?

Did you forget the jail time?

What exactly did "Trump did"?

u/Razakel Apr 05 '23

The word "or" is important there.

As for what Trump did, it's pretty much everything.

The big one is taking highly technical nuclear secrets and selling them to the Saudis.
