If her emails were such an issue why have multiple members of the Trump Cabinet and House and Senate members been found to do the same thing and continue to do

If her emails were such an issue why have multiple members of the Trump Cabinet and House and Senate members been found to do the same thing and continue to do the same thing. Objectively: voters don't care. Mentioning it at this point is sheer deflection. If you need a go-to example, pick someone in power like Kushner or Pence.

Did you expect no one to google it? Pence had private email while governor of Indiana. Through August 2017, Nepotistic Adviser (perhaps not his official title? I don't know) Kushner had had fewer than 100 emails sent from or to his server from official accounts, all of which are saved and can be produced. Meanwhile many tens of thousands (no way to know how many) of classified messages of the Secretary of State where available to any hacker but not to the oversight of the people and their Congress. It's no mystery why Comey said the stupid shit he said; if he had said nothing he would have had a mutiny on his hands.

  Pence literally fought in court to keep his private election emails private and won. I was sort of hoping you'd Google that too.

    OK now I have. Google recommended an article [0] which starts with the following: Vice President Mike Pence reportedly used a private email account to conduct public business, including homeland security matters, while he was governor of Indiana. Records of the emails were obtained by IndyStar through a public records request. See, in the second sentence, we learn how this was different from the Secretary's emails! On top of which, this is Indiana we're talking about. Not much of geopolitical import there. I certainly hope that VP has learned proper email discipline at this point.

      Yeah, he should talk to Cambridge Analytica about getting an email there where every email isn't backed up and there is a timed erase function. It works wonders for their human trafficking work But sure. What about her emails. What about indeed. Kushner only had 100! We should do another investigation.

Those examples are issues too. Voters should care.

Having a private email is different to operating your own email infrastructure in some guy's cupboard while you're secretary of state.
