    Was trump found to be running a private email server for government classified business? Because that’s what the issue with Hilary was. As much as I despise trump, the situation isn’t equivalent. Also, WikiLeaks leaked Hillary’s emails, not the media. Basically everything stated in the original post is incorrect.

        Right, but that’s not related to these emails as far as anyone knows.

        If I recall that case was dismissed without prejudice, which means they can fix the bullshit issue Judge Cannon came up with to delay things, re-indict him and ideally convict his ass. Can’t use executive privilege as a defense (no matter how strained) for shit you do after you leave office. That’ll kick up a mountain of idiots on Xitter screaming about “double jeopardy” despite not knowing how any of that works though.

        Assuming of course he doesn’t get reelected and pardon himself or some equally absurd bullshit.

          Not saying they’re related to the emails directly, but it’s a similar idea of storing important national information in secret where you aren’t allowed.

      No, you’re thinking of GW Bush

      Trump just had his daughter and son in law do it for him

      Like I said to someone else here already:

      False. The Clinton emails were first released under FOIA by the State Department, not by WikiLeaks. You’re mixing it up with the Podesta and DNC email archives, which incidentally contained dirt on Trump as well.

      Over the next several months, the State Department completed production of 30,068 emails, which were released in 14 batches, with the final batch released on February 29, 2016. Both the Wall Street Journal and WikiLeaks independently set up search engines for anyone who would like to search through the Clinton emails released by the State Department.

      If Trump knew how to use email, you know he’d be sending classified information from his yahoo account.

      You’re correct about Wikileaks, but you are conflating the scandal around Hillary’s emails (she maintained a private email server while she was Secretary of State, and deleted many of those emails when she was meant to retain them) with the Podesta emails (which the user in the image incorrectly identifies as Hillary’s emails). The hacking of Podesta’s emails is actually very similar to the hack of the Trump campaign, except there’s no Wikileaks or equivalent organization willing to publish them this time.

        Ah, okay. Then thanks for correcting me. There are too many fucked up shenanigans to keep track of these days.

          Easy mistake, especially when it all gets conflated to, “But her emails!”

      LoL, for as much as you “despise trump”, you sure feel compelled to “defend” him by creating your own false equivalence, getting the facts wrong, and by ignoring the entirety of actions Trump and his family committed while in office. It’s almost like you don’t really despise him at all…

        I’m not defending him, I’m saying we need to be better. There are enough valid criticisms, like millions of them. We don’t need to make false equivalencies.
