Newsweek: THE GEORGE W. BUSH WHITE HOUSE ‘LOST’ 22 MILLION EMAILS
Newsweek ^ | 9/12/16 | NINA BURLEIGH

Posted on 09/13/2016 7:43:20 PM PDT by Maceman

For 18 months, Republican strategists, political pundits, reporters and Americans who follow them have been pursuing Hillary Clinton’s personal email habits, and no evidence of a crime has been found. But now they at least have the skills and interest to focus on a much larger and deeper email conspiracy, one involving war, lies, a private server run by the Republican Party and contempt of Congress citations—all of it still unsolved and unpunished.

Clinton’s email habits look positively transparent when compared with the subpoena-dodging, email-hiding, private-server-using George W. Bush administration. Between 2003 and 2009, the Bush White House “lost” 22 million emails.

This correspondence included millions of emails written during the darkest period in America’s recent history, when the Bush administration was ginning up support for what turned out to be a disastrous war in Iraq with false claims that the country possessed weapons of mass destruction (WMD), and, later, when it was firing U.S. attorneys for political reasons.

Like Clinton, the Bush White House used a private email server—its was owned by the Republican National Committee. And the Bush administration failed to store its emails, as required by law, and then refused to comply with a congressional subpoena seeking some of those emails. “It’s about as amazing a double standard as you can get,” says Eric Boehlert, who works with the pro-Clinton group Media Matters.

“If you look at the Bush emails, he was a sitting president, and 95 percent of his chief advisers’ emails were on a private email system set up by the RNC. Imagine if for the last year and a half we had been talking about Hillary Clinton’s emails set up on a private DNC server?”

I agree -- everyone does it.

So round them up and put them in jail. Many (most?) Trump supporters would be fine with this.

It’s undisputed that Hillary intentionally destroyed the emails after she was subpoenaed.

Exactly! How does finding other corrupt politicians clear Hillary?

This only makes me hate the establishment even more. Hillary’s right, they’re all guilty and they’re all deplorable.

Were they marked with a giant “c?” The number of lost e-mails is not the whole point.

I recall her “Presidential kneepads” quote, now that you mention it.
Truly deplorable insane neo-marxist a-holes.

LOL! That’s pretty weak even for Nina the NoKnow from Newsweak. This is a laugher written by a DemocRAT Retard.

There’s lots of evidence. The DOJ decided to ignore it. I’m sick of the lies.

I’m sure George Washington’s carrier pigeon got lost with a note or two back in the day. What the hell does that have to do with Hillary?

1. They didn’t do it to hide anything.
2. There weren’t the same protocols in place when this occurred.
3. The loss of emails wasn’t deliberate and it wasn’t evasive.
4. The emails were recovered by Republicans - no one had to involve the FBI.

Nina didn't need kneepads, her knees were well calloused by the time Clinton was in office. How did she get the job at Newsweak??
