So where are the Republicans

… who wanted Hillary locked up because she jeopardized national security by using a private email server, now that Trump is using his unsecured (easily-hackable) personal phone to communicate with his “friends”?

You’d think they’d be up-in-arms – especially given that Trump’s “friends” are people known to be cozy with our enemies, have a propensity for engaging in criminal activity, and wouldn’t think twice about passing along information to anyone with an offshore bank account.

Just item No. 408,273 on the endless list of GOP hypocrisies – more, no doubt, to be added within the week.

Like I said before they didnt care AT ALL about the ambassador especially given he was a life long diplomat appointed by a democrat.

But they were able to use his death for their sick cause.

As to HRC and emails, they didnt care about emails. Anymore than they care about anything else.

Women must be punished or executed for having sex without permission, and to that end they will do or say anything.

Most of them surely know that Trump is loony tunes. They also know that the majority of GOP primary voters are Trump supporters. If they buck Trump, they will pay a price in the primaries.

And we would rightly deserve it.

Even without a warrant, they kind of HAVE to monitor who else is "tapping" his calls. And by now, they definitely have a warrant.

OMG this makes me so happy and hopeful.

and I was able to think of this simple fact than why haven't the moron's pals? Surely this must have occurred to them too. I know I wouldn't want to be one of his friends getting a "private" call from him. I would want a "cone of silence" like Pruitt has before I even answered the phone.

Do not count on them to help the Dems ever...especially during the midterms. I am sure they will ignore all the Dem candidates and their issues like they did with Hillary. Instead they will show the moron speaking at one of his pep rallies acting like he even knows or cares who the GOP candidate's name that he is supposedly supporting.

he's probably using this phone to get his strategic advice from his friends at Fox. After all, he doesn't trust his intelligence departments. It's nice to know these sessions are confidential.

Wanted to keep his blackberry. That’s what came to my mind right off the bat. I can’t remember much more cuz it really didn’t matter at the time.

Soooo once again Obama’s fault.

Ok on edit.

Had to look it up. Look at the conditions he had to face.
