For all the Repugs screaming about Hillary's emails ...

Weren't you the ones saying "no big deal" and yelling "partisan attacks"?

White House: Millions of e-mails may be missing (April 13, 2007)

Millions of White House e-mails may be missing, White House spokeswoman Dana Perino acknowledged Friday.

"I wouldn't rule out that there were a potential 5 million e-mails lost," Perino told reporters.

you're excusing past bad behavior on the basis of current bad behavior.

Each is pathetic.

doesn't is really rather entertaining. If you have watched politics or the media for 6 months you will see that's just what they do. That Hillary ignored that they will investigate what she had for breakfast and trash her of it was stupid. No sympathy here, she knows how they play the game.

Republicans with tearing our strongest Democrat apart so that they don't have to spend all their money in their efforts to do so. I'm not going to be the Koch Bros/Republican/Neo-Confederates' useful fool. Let them spend the money to attack her so they'll have less to attack the twenty-plus Democratic Senators who are poised to take the Senate back for us.

That was because of the Scooter Libby scandal implicating Cheney and probably the whole Bush Crime Family in unconstitutional unpatriotic, if not treasonous behavior.

And whomever the admins were who carried out the task of destroying backups of those E-mail are even more treasonous jellyfish.
