I've just about had it with the email stories especially from the crew at Morning Joe. My disgust prompted me to review Jeb's email problems and as was shocked with the similarities: http://www.msnbc.com/...
Like Hillary, Jeb owned and controlled a personal server:
Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush owns the server that runs jeb@jeb.org, the personal email account he used as governor to conduct official, political and personal business.
Asked who controls the server that operates that email address, Bush spokeswoman Kristy Campbell responded: “He owns it.”
Both servers were off-site:
The server was housed in a state-owned office building during the years that Bush served as governor, from 1999 until early 2007. A Bush source familiar with the situation said there were “digital security” measures in place to protect Bush’s emails, but declined to elaborate on how the server and its data were physically and digitally kept from harm. The aide also declined to elaborate on whether the server was “homebrew,” as an email server housed in Hillary Clinton’s Chappaqua home was described by The Associated Press in a Wednesday report.
The Bush and Clinton private email were widely known
The existence of Bush’s private email address was widely known to the public and to the press when he served as governor, and he routinely fielded public and press inquiries himself using the address.
How did Bush decide which emails should be released to the public?
Under Florida’s sunshine law, Bush was required to release the emails that related to conducting state business. Those emails are available online. A Bush aide said there was a process in place to decide which emails fell into that category and that Bush staffers and his general counsel’s office decided which ones to release.
I can totally understand why republican operatives are going at Secratary Clinton...that's politics. I can even understand the media' interest because they have to report something on their 24-hour channels.
However, I cannot understand how a private email server for one presidential candidate is the end of the world while the same standard doesn't apply to others.
