[SEPTEMBER 12, 2016] THE GEORGE W. BUSH WHITE HOUSE ‘LOST’ 22 MILLION EMAILS

Clinton’s email habits look positively transparent when compared with the subpoena-dodging, email-hiding, private-server-using George W. Bush administration. Between 2003 and 2009, the Bush White House “lost” 22 million emails.

Like Clinton, the Bush White House used a private email server—its was owned by the Republican National Committee. And the Bush administration failed to store its emails, as required by law, and then refused to comply with a congressional subpoena seeking some of those emails. “It’s about as amazing a double standard as you can get,” says Eric Boehlert, who works with the pro-Clinton group Media Matters. “If you look at the Bush emails, he was a sitting president, and 95 percent of his chief advisers’ emails were on a private email system set up by the RNC. Imagine if for the last year and a half we had been talking about Hillary Clinton’s emails set up on a private DNC server?”

Oh, and one more reverse TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD trial that needs mentioning because liberals like Burleigh are all about White guilt.

In my section of Nashville we had a big murder mystery known as the Marcia Trimble case. It involved the rape and strangulation of a nine-year-old blond girl. The police harassed White males in the neighborhood for years and years but it turned out that a Black yard man in the neighborhood with a criminal history committed the murder. He should have been the suspect from day one but the police were hung up on these initial neighborhood playmates. The perp was also involved in other murders.

False meme - Trump never had it put to him for a response - if he was presented with the info he would probably say that Bush and company should be in the cell next to Hillary's.

It would only become relevant if Trump tried to defend Bush for breaking the law. Under current circumstances with the Bushies all working hard for Hillary, he would be more prone to point out that law-breakers support law-breakers....

Bush was elected 16 years ago.
What was the law THEN?
What was the ability of hackers then?

thanks for the extensive recapitulation.

What do you tell people when they say this

Tell them that national security goes beyond political party-lines. If this is true, prosecute 'em both. Tell them that this is exactly why we need to flush the corruption and our "above the law rulers" out of Washington. Tell them this is why we need to send a message to the media that we're not going to fall for their opinion-shaping propaganda any longer.

“A Microsoft Corp. document on the Bush White House’s e-mail problems states that Microsoft was called in to help find electronic messages in October 2003, more than two years before the problem surfaced publicly. October 2003 was the month that the Justice Department began gearing up its criminal investigation into who in the Bush administration leaked the identity of Plame, the wife of Bush administration war critic Joseph Wilson.”

All the e-mails were recovered.

The difference is that we are not defending bush.

Bush? Isn’t he supporting Clinton? Fine, we’ll investigate him too and if he committed any crimes he can be Hillary’s cellmate.

Thanks for bringing that up. Nice...

[Big Mack]

Well that makes Hillary OK, then.

I understand that Nashville isn’t what it used to be (possibly referring to crime, or was that Memphis, or both?)

Political correctness is getting our children killed. I just took my granddaughter to Yom Kippur services tonight and I made sure that she got into her home safely (despite her mother and finance both open carry people/her uncle, my son, a concealed carry (ex-cop).

Nobody is safe anywhere any more and that is the legacy of the Clintons (Bill’s pardons to killers and terrorists), Hillary’s total distain of and for the law, Political Correctness run amoke among the Democrats/liberals/progressives/Marxists, academia (but I repeat myself), and ethically and politically corrupt politicans, and Obama’s “Make America Marxist” pogrom.

Cities I once considered visiting are no longer on my list.
