What if Dick Cheney, Not Hillary Clinton, Deleted 30,000 Emails from a Private Home Server?

The GOP frenzy over Benghazi is primarily a political attack (13 attacks similar to Benghazi took place against U.S. consulates during the Bush years), however it's fair to ask certain questions about anyone who uses personal emails as a public official. Jeb Bush, Scott Walker, and everyone else in the GOP who've used private emails and servers should have their emails audited by a third-party. Furthermore, since Jeb Bush discussed security issues and troop deployments, he should have his email security analyzed by the Department of Defense. Anyone in government using a private email address should be subject to the transparency protocol found in the Freedom of Information Act. However, it's unclear at the moment whether Jeb Bush owned his server and assuming he engaged in wrongdoing, this fact still doesn't mitigate the potential issues related to Hillary Clinton's latest email controversy. Pundit Fact has already explained one primary difference between Clinton's email usage and how others have used private emails.

The Associated Press is suing the State Department for access to her emails; something other candidate don't have to contend with at the moment. Hillary Clinton owned her own server, used private emails exclusively for both private and State Department business, and stated it was simply for "convenience." However, she's yet to explain how a private home server was more convenient than using a third-party server and Team Clinton (and nobody else) is being given the opportunity to pick which emails will remain private....

Dick Cheney would not have placed an ambassador and his security team at high risk to a terrorist attack in such a chaotic place as Benghazi.

Yup. The Soros machine would be in high gear on attack mode. All of the liberal media outlets would pre-empt other “narrative” stories to push this part of the “narrative”.

Imagine Rumsfeld too?

We lost 13 ambassadors during the Bush years?

What if Dick Nixon erased just a few minutes from his private tape recordings?

What did Hillary know and when did she know it?

The purpose of the story is to deflect and generate talking points.

1. The attack is political
2. Benghazi happened under Bush too...13 times
3. All the Republicans have private emails

Liberals do not want to give up power and will do anything to keep it. They crave it like the Nazis, Communists, Central/South American dictators, and Middle Eastern mullahs.

All of the above preach Socialism.

So 13 US embassies were burned to the ground and 13 ambassadors were killed during the Bush administration?
Wow you’d think I would have remembered that.
And if you google “Bush secretary of state” it says it was Condoleezza Rice, not Dick Cheney, must be wrong, Huff post wouldn’t lie to me.

The “what if” didn't happen. And it didn't happen because he has morals. He is not out to hide anything but serve the people to the best of his abilities period.

Clinton is all about herself and how much she can get. Her image cost American lives for nothing other than how she would look in the media.

Long story short is you can not justify her criminal behavior because someone can imagine someone else committing crimes.

AND George Bush AND Dick Cheney were not TRAITORS just as all in the Obama Administration “IS”..

Bush prepared the way for Obama.. as a one worlder.. spent (like him) and still refuses to call Obama the traitor that he “IS”..

Seems the Bush(s) are complicit in Democrat sedition..
Except it’s republican sedition... like there’s a difference..

ADD..... Boehner and McConnell that have financed BOTH brands of sedition.. Good Guy, Bad guy.. Bait and Switch..

Cheney is up to all this to his armpits..
No matter what he says about Obama, HE’S PART OF IT..

The hangman is waiting.......... some day..

Jeb Bush, Scott Walker, and everyone else in the GOP who've used private emails and servers should have their emails audited by a third-party.

Bush and Walker are/were working for the STATES and not the feds. From what I understand, whatever the records requirements are, they are governed and enforced at the state level.

Clinton's emails are under FEDERAL jurisdiction.

If Wisconsin or Florida have some sort of case they wish to raise with their current or former governors, then so be it. Other than that, if you are not a resident of those states, then it's none of your business.
