This might be improper. Sounds like it was legal. It is a non-starter politically. Folks around the country don’t care about Indiana state secrets. I sure don’t.

Yeah, how can they use this?

she ran for PRESIDENT while it was known she did this.

He should only step down if he’s going to jail, WHICH MEANS SHE’S GOING TO JAIL.

Trump should make that clear. To huma and the perverts too.

Whoa! That's a great point!

Using a personal email account for professional communications is a minor infraction in many states, unless those emails are retained for public records. I don’t care any more than I would care if Pence occasionally drove 3 mph over the speed limit.

There is no parallel between this claim and the serious felony of sending Top Secret SCI materials through a private, unclassified email system. That is the analogy the Ctrl-Left is going for, and it fails miserably.

Question --- DID PENCE VIOLATE ANY STATE LAW? *THAT* is the bottom line.

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.

So, based on the above law, since the records were properly archived and turned over, and this is not federal or particularly sensitive material being mishandled, this is a nothingburger.

"“We need to stop worrying and reacting. The liberals, the democrats and the media are in the process of going bat**** crazy. It will get worse before it ends.”

Exactly!

================================================================

The problem is, these sort of attacks against Trump or Conservatives will not end.

These attacks must be meet head on and counter-attacked. Why? Because liberal R's, "independents" and blue dog D's vote too and if this stuff gains traction and a foothold, 2018+ will not look as good as it did just this last fall.

The coverage and the screaming has gotten so non stop, 24/7, that only the most dedicated liberals can tell what is new, what was yesterday or what was last week.

When two or three new outrages come out every day, people tune out. The more ridiculous the claims, the less they listen.

A narrative can and will be built overtime.

Conservatives and R's should ignore these attacks at their peril.

That’s what I say. Always confront and respond to this stuff or they can advance their narrative without pushback.
