if i recall correctly, didnt powell get in trouble because of his email issue?

you are moving the goalposts now.

the question is is she allowed to destroy documents on a server when documents from the server are being requested to be turned over

you dont get to decide whats personal and whats business, the DOJ (or agency making the request) decides that

you brought it up simply to cause a flame war though. it has nothing to do with the point being made.

it is true, and yes when she deleted the emails, she was being investigated*

*perhaps investigated is not the correct word, however the facts are she was asked for all her emails and she didnt hand over all her emails.

except for the actual evidence that has come out completely blows that argument out of the water as being false.

My question is why wasnt the friend charged with perjury

perhaps, but not when you are under investigation, rules get stricter, and nothing should be deleted until checked out.

why you gotta go there??? its off topic

this one should not be

except for we dont have the facts because they were deleted

except for we have no way of knowing that besides taking her word on it.... and im not comfortable with her word

hence the reason obama is president

if you dont think they deleted for for political gain (protecting themselves from some kind of incrimination) i got this here bridge to sell

and what does that have to do with someone running for president doing it today????

Nothing

bu-bu-but bush, is not a good answer here

most software devs were not the popular kids in HS

as such most software devs understand what its like to be bullied and abused

if anyone gets it, its us

no no no thats not what i am saying.

im simply making the argument that while it happened as said, maybe it wasnt as big of a deal as it was, maybe they were overly cautious (not a bad thing) and maybe they are now using the issue to pass legislation

as an example in 07 i believe it was in my state of NY they were in the middle of a debate trying to raise taxes on cigarettes in my county. it was a tough battle and they were losing. then all of a sudden there is a wild fire (minnewaska st park) that they blamed on a discarded cigarette.

the problem with that assessment is I was working there at the time and we were informed of a controlled burn to take place that coincided with the discarded cigarette.

the day after they announced it was a smoke, they passed the bill raising taxes
