"SNIP.......

“The Justice Department filed suit Wednesday against Peter Navarro, claiming the former adviser to Donald Trump used an unofficial email account while working in the White House and wrongfully retained presidential records,” the AP reports.

“The lawsuit in federal court in Washington claims Navarro used at least one ‘non-official’ email account — a ProtonMail account — to send and receive emails.”

“The civil cases alleges that by using the unofficial email account, Navarro failed to turn over presidential records to the National Archives and Records Administration.”

Diversion is their go-to "tactic" to try to escape justice.

Their latest explanation (diversion) is that the legal system is broken. It only goes after Republicans. Democrats are given a free pass.

Yup. That's the "logic" from the right.

Colin Powell Connie and Hillary had other email accounts because the email system is horrible. The IRS can’t keep emails past 6 months. I remember Sen. Hatch asking Mnuchin if he’d support money to upgrade IRS tech and my head almost split apart. Yeah Republicans want better enforcement by the IRS.

as a friend who is from the Caribbean (I won't say where) would say when exasperated. She never lapsed into patois otherwise.

My husband basically never wants to deal with any kind of government tech at all because it is so ungodly outmoded. He tells horror stories about it. And I thought hospital tech was bad......

Well into this century. Not sure what it did but it was still in use.

Plenty of money for the military and supporting industry but everything actually useful, not so much.
