    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.

      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.
