I'd be thrown in jail, I'd be barred from running for office, and I'd be shamed in public. I don't care if it is a former president, a politician, or some IT guy in Dayton, Ohio. All should be treated the same.

But they aren't treated the same, which is my point. If your point is that they SHOULD be, that's fine... but I'm asking you why we should be enforcing it on Trump and letting Hillary keep what we all know were similarly 'sensitive' documents on a private server that somehow gets 'destroyed' right as the subpoena arrives??

I have been very clear for the past 6-7 years that she should have been held accountable as well. This isn't an issue of politics, this is an issue of national security. I don't care if he was good for my bank account or not, I care about making sure we aren't giving away secrets to people who shouldn't know.

Let me back up... It should be clear that I'm not calling you out... and if you've been consistent on this, as I said... that's fine.... but clearly 'we' have not been consistent on this.... and of course, no serious charge that I've seen has been put forward that anyone HAS 'given away secrets'.... though this was the allegation from the left from the onset.

My point is that we as a society can't be so capricious. If you want it enforced, that's fine and let's do it to all... as you suggest... but if you're not going to... and as a nation, we have not, then it is PURELY political to decide that THIS is where we draw the line... where someone doesn't have their own server at home accessible by the internet, where potentially millions of people from all over the world can try and 'steal' the info without ever being within 1,000 miles of it, but instead has boxes.... in a secure, though not necessarily 'bullet proof' residence where you would actually have to 'break in'.

Trump is an easy target because he's hated by ALL the left and a portion of the right... but that isn't wht laws are about... that the 'least liked person' is the one we go after.
