  • That makes no sense. It's not like Rice or Powell could lose their jobs or political ambitions. Rice appeared in an ad for a conservative candidate somewhere recently but otherwise has been off doing other things. If you want to say she's making excuses by pointing to her predecessors, that is a valid complaint but claiming that she would be "taking them out" is unsupported at this point.
    • It makes perfect sense for State to divert assets from legitimate FOIA work [twitchy.com] to go on a "see, everyone else did it, too" scavenger hunt. The unspoken implication is that, should justice get anywhere near a zip code containing Her Majesty, the collateral damage will be stunning.
      • You've established that you view everything done by Hillary as being in the primary interest of spreading evil around the world. Even in that light, why would her decision to use a separate email server have to be something she thought up entirely on her own? Are you really claiming that her special kind of evil is such that she wouldn't borrow any tactics at all from anyone who had her office before her?

        Considering how much philosophical overlap exists between the actions of the current POTUS and his

      • ...the collateral damage will be stunning.

        To prosecute would bring the entire empire down. You cannot touch Kissinger, Bush, or Cheney either (Thanks Obama!). She is simply following a time honored tradition that you normally have no problem with until the "wrong" people start taking advantage. Just admit that you're trolling poor old d_r, and me too, since I took the bait. You're a republican, he's a democrat, in other words, identical.

        • Your thesis seems to be that everyone else set up their own private email servers and trafficked in the most sensitive information outside of proper channels.
          Could be time to give the whole system an enema and figure out if these theses are full of feces.
          The supposition that I care fig #1 for any of these idiots is grossly in error: hang 'em all good and high.

            Of course they do. Why would you ever have any doubt? Upward mobility in this business is impossible without trying to take every advantage. Your 'ethics' or 'morals', whatever you want to call them, do not apply beyond the most newly hired/interned paper pushers. *Leave no trace* is more than just a 'Camper's Creed'.

            • Two reasons to doubt this are:
              (a) Draconian legal penalties
              (b) General concern that betrayal of the country can be the sort of thing that might inform a Benghazi-style debacle*
              I do think that Her Majesty is a pathological liar, and don't believe a godforsaken utterance of The Royal Lip, or that of any minions.

              *Allow me to fall explicitly short of stating that I think there is a direct connection between Her Majesty's reckless, systemic and flagrant disregard for mortal rules, regulations, and common

              • (a) Draconian legal penalties

                Oh! The endearing childlike naivete... "Draconian legal penalties" does not apply to them, and will not apply to them because you continue elect and reelect their stoolies.

                And your tunnel vision (and singular obsession) is very revealing, still merely regurgitating tabloid mass media. I wonder if that will ever end. Probably can't since your entire narrative is based on it.

                • Ahhh, yes: your continual moral high ground because YOUR candidates are pure. I sometimes have trouble holding before myself the ultimate truth that I am the hypocrite here.

                  • You can call it what you want. Your support of political hucksters and con men makes the system corrupt to the core. In machine politics you are the fuel.

      • What I'm taking away from this is that if Powell/Cheney/Kissinger did something bad, that's ok because they were good. But if Hil does it, it's bad because she's bad.

        Makes perfect sense to me, only... why am I left feeling like I've a pair of shoes hanging from my ears and my feet are stuck in a wooly hat?

        • So, yeah: you're buying the whole equivalency argument, like a good little serf.

          • Well, you certainly do.

            • I guess you could say, in a positive sense, that the Anglo-Saxon idea of "equality before the law" is an example of "moral equivalence".
              However, it is a typical perversion to say that "all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God"; therefore: pecca fortiter.
              The former approach, you see, builds society. The latter, which you seem to cheerfully embrace, destroys it.
              But I anticipate that you'll pat yourself on the back as a "societal transition advocate" in any case.
