Per posting rules regarding USA Today, I can only link to the article.

They are going after Pence too. That actually surprises me a bit. I thought they would want to try to impeach Trump and keep Pence in place.

It's a long article, and I haven't read the whole thing yet, so maybe I'll comment further on the article once I read the whole thing.

Silent Coup

Well I suppose using personal email to do govt business is a serious matter. Wait... hahahaha

If they succeed in doing this, being an establishment Politician for either side will become a very dangerous occupation.

My guess would be to get uniparty Ryan in as President so the globalist agenda can move forward once again.

Sessions has them feeling their oats now. The Press knows now they can get away with anything they want.

If he admitted to countless felonies in the eMails, it’s certain the Russians are trying to overthrow our government.

I suspect the eMails contained nothing classified.

He’s not a complete imbecile like one person I could mention.

Unloading all guns on the Trump administration.

“Indiana law does not prohibit public officials from using personal email accounts,although the law is generally interpreted to mean that official business conducted on private email must be retained for public record purposes.”

[FamiliarFace]

I haven’t read the article, but did Pence use his private email exclusively like Hillary did?

[Political Junkie Too]

Didn't the entire Obama Cabinet do that, but with fake names?

no there there

Indiana law does not prohibit public officials from using personal email accounts,although the law is generally interpreted to mean that official business conducted on private email must be retained for public record purposes.

Maybe someone with some tech knowledge can elaborate on this section of the article...specifically the claim in the last paragraph.

"Pence’s own account was compromised in June when a hacker sent a counterfeit email to his contacts claiming Pence he and his wife had been attacked on their way back to their hotel in the Philippines, losing their money, bank cards and mobile phone.

In response, Pence sent an email to those who had received the fake communication apologizing for any inconvenience. He also set up a new AOL account.

Because the hacker appears to have gained access to Pence’s contacts, experts say it is likely that the account was actually penetrated, giving the hacker access to Pence’s inbox and sent messages."

[Robert DeLong]

The other reason would be to nullify any further investigation into Hillary’s email problems.

[Seaplaner]

Might Hillary, James Comey, and MISTER Obama be asked for comment?

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Mr. President, you have a problem. And his name is Obama.

Please do something.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

They are scared sh!tless.

[Theoria]

'Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb's office released more than 30 pages from Pence's AOL account, but declined to release an unspecified number of emails because the state considers them confidential and too sensitive to release to the public.'

Dumbass.

[Nifster]

Considering obozo did too....
This is a nothing burger. Quit giving the msm satisfaction by posting this nonsense
