HuffPost headline: "Man Obsessed With Hillary Clinton's Private Server Hid Docs On A Secret System"

Hillary Clinton couldn’t get away from the issue of a private email server in the 2016 election. Donald Trump said it was “bigger than Watergate” and she deserved to go to jail for it.

Now, Trump has been caught using a secret computer system ― a private server, if you will ― to hide his election interference attempts.

“Republicans have made it very clear that secret servers are a criminal offense,” said Jesse Ferguson, a Democratic strategist who served on the Clinton campaign. “Will they apply the same rules to Trump that they apply to everyone else?”

I think the impeachment inquiry needs to know that.

has asked for them, or are going to ask for them. That's what I heard on Nicole Wallace's show today, but I can't remember which way it was. What they were positive about was whether they'll get them or not...........getting any evidence from this White House has been a fruitless effort thus far. Everything is covered by "executive privilege", or so Trump says.

and just look at this through them...

You really can see some transparency on his part if you just interpret most of his criticisms and judgements of others as referring to himself and his secret doings or plans as well. He even exaggerates it by trying to deflect using projection. It's like a arrow pointing back at him. Sometimes, he gives himself away, but I wonder who notices that?

"The democrats are tying to destroy this country." Oh, really? Who has been messing everything up royal, working with foreign powers, destroying trade and the economy with useless tariffs and no deal? Who uses scapegoats to energize his base and create more fear and division, only for his own benefit and power? And so on...there is a list. Perhaps it is more than we thought on his part, then. He wants to destroy this country, that is, if you use the projection principle.

Really. Just say and think, he is talking about himself.

Keep his cult of idiots confused so that when they hear something in the news about some "secret server" or "scandal in Ukraine" or a thousand other examples of his corruption they'll assume the story is about his opponents. It's always THEM! Who knew that so many idiots were so susceptible to amateur brainwashing?

I remember Faux News putting a "D" next to the names of actual republicans if that republican was caught in some scandal.

They've been busted doing shit like that a few times. Watch em try it with Chumpy

intended for use to house records that involve matters of national security ONLY. It's code-word protected for exactly that purpose.

Instead, apparently Trumpy and his minions have been hiding legally questionable activities in that top secret government server, particularly when records of such activities are politically oriented. Such as this phone call with the Ukraine PM.

Because Trump and his Ghoul of a personal lawyer think that Trump is the same thing as our country.

Especially far left radical Democrats. Republicans can't catch a break unless they are above the law. Everyone knows that, right?
