"President Donald Trump repeatedly attacked Mrs Clinton's use of personal email while she was secretary of state during the 2016 campaign.

Mr Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner admitted to using his email while five other aides reportedly did so as well."

Source.

So as tempting as it is to enjoy this newfound mud to sling, perhaps this can be an example of, well, just shut up about petty nonsense and name-calling because it'll almost always come back to bite you.

And before Clinton:

At least 88 email accounts were granted to senior Bush administration officials using a private internet domain, hosted on an email server run by the Republican National Committee. The RNC has preserved no emails for 51 officials. There is evidence that the Office of White House Counsel under Alberto Gonzales may have known that White House officials were using RNC email accounts for official business, but took no action to preserve these presidential records. In 2009, it was announced that as many as 22 million emails may have been lost.​

A) It wasn't the use of a private email so much as it was the whole server/domain in her house so she could avoid FOIA requests AND the illegal activity to try and hide/minimize it.
B) Most core Trump fans I've spoken with seem to hate Kushner anyhow, so I doubt you'd get much more than a celebration if this cost Kushner and crew his spot at Trump's elbow.

It's one thing to make a mistake. It's another to destroy your phones, destroy your hard drives, and lie about it under oath, then have Loretta Lynch and the government go to bat for you and try to sweep it under the rug.

Now, Saucy, what has all these things to do with the fact that many others before Clinton were using unclassified email servers, and some in this administration are doing the same? That is the point of this OP.

Do they mention why?

They see him as a much more left-leaning and more willing to get involved in situations overseas. The more hardcore among them lay most of Trump's changes on his promises/stances before the election at Kushner influencing Trump.

I dunno, it takes a special kind of stupid to go onto reddit and ask for directions to destroy your HD.

Any insidious conspiracies afoot, or is Kushner simply a bad influence on the Trumps?

We're not denying that it was done. I didn't see the Bush admin deleting emails and destroying their phones. If Clinton had just released her emails and come right out and said, "Yeah, I made a mistake and take responsibility" it probably would've been a lot better for her.

And it's not even the act of having private emails on a private server. The law speaks against sending CLASSIFIED emails over a private server, which she did. That's where the law was broken. I haven't seen any investigation stating that anyone on the Bush administration sent classified emails over a private server.

Isn't pointing the finger at Bush that whataboutism ya'll love to point out? No?

Let's have some investigations first before we can know if Kushner and company will lie about it.

They consider him a bad influence. Remember that Kushner's wife was the one who apparently helped convince Trump to bomb Syria.

Wait, they got Loretta Lynch AND the government? wow, I mean just getting one of those two would be impressive, but getting both...

Saucy's response to everything is to always whine "B-but Democrats do it toooo!". I wouldn't waste my time.

It's funny, though, how everything Trump and company have accused others of doing, they themselves have done.

Was it shown that she sent them? All I saw is that some were on the server. I don't recall any reports saying if she sent them or if she just received them.
