Nate Silver re: Hillary Clinton's vs. Ivanka Trump's private emails

@NateSilver538

If you're one of those news organizations that treated Clinton's private emails like they were a national emergency, the solution isn't to treat Ivanka's private emails like they're also a national emergency—rather, it's to acknowledge that you kinda fucked up on Clinton.

1. Who really thinks foreign interests want to hack any Trumpers?

Well I take that back it would be good to know what your foreign competitors are up to when the Trump’s make it so easy.

4. Whats the point?

Idiot Trump will just tell you everything he's doing in stupid tweets anyway.

8. Trumpies do have one thing they do not want you to know for sure.

Where the money comes from? Most allies and critics already know. Obviously you use that money for cover.

2. I'd be in favor of the Trump family having to repay the US Govt for money spent on HRC's emails.

As a starting point...

3. Oh Nate. You know how Republicans deal with these things.

Hillary's email threatened the very fabric of space-time. Ivanka's emails are entirely legitimate because reasons. Besides how dare you disrespect the King's daughter?

5. I want them to be consistent

What does this have to do with numbers (asking Nate Silver)?

[kentuck]

6. It is also possible...

..that because they "f'ed" up on Hillary's emails does not mean that this email story is likewise incredible.

7. Makes me wanna lock some people up.

9. Nate is right.

[LiberalFighter]

10. What does he mean?

I do know that Clinton's emails were not the same as what Ivanka did.

Clinton dealt directly with staff and her emails were also cc back to State. Meaning communication was out in the open within the State Department.

Ivanka on the other hand was taking advantage of government information not available to the general public and personally benefiting financially. Or giving insider information to people that should not have it.

11. Nate must've bought one of Elon Musk's flamethrowers...

Cuz he has been killing it as of late.

[Gothmog]

12. I agree with Nate on this

[Blue_Tires]

13. Fuck that shit...

E-mails cost Hillary the White House, so the same principle should apply in this fucking situation...

Naturally the same MSM that let Hillary have it with both barrels is bending over backwards to protect Trump's hellspawn
