I don't want to see everyone prosecuted, just the people who break the law. Why does Hillary get better treatment than Bryan H. Nishimura? I'm unfamiliar with your accusations against Gowdy and Chaffetz, but if they did something similar, I'd support their prosecution, too. I had to remind myself of Bush's email scandal. It looks like, in the end, since the emails were found, there was no law broken? I'm unclear on this point. But the point is, that if they broke the law, somebody should have been prosecuted, then, too. Your arguments seem to be going in the direction of "the other side is doing it, too." That's not a defense! It especially doesn't do anything to convince me, since I'm not on anybody's side. And I would feel the same way if it were a male republican we were talking about. Do you really think you can retreat to accusations of misogyny every time somebody says something negative about a woman you support?

> Why does Hillary get better treatment than Bryan H. Nishimura? The cases aren't comparable. One was a wilful mishandling of classified documents; the other was a widely accepted way of dealing with email. > since the emails were found, there was no law broken? A Senate committee said "[T]his subversion of the justice system has included lying, misleading, stonewalling and ignoring the Congress in our attempts to find out precisely what happened." That sounds like they broke the law. > "the other side is doing it, too." Not really - it's more that "Oh, look, the female candidate is getting slammed for things that everyone in USGOV has done, is doing, and will do whilst the male candidates and aides ... do not." > And I would feel the same way if it were a male republican we were talking about. Then presumably you are now calling for Kushner's indictment?
