A Great, GREAT wall instead - trust me, it'll be really great!

Just looking back at that pic of Patton.

There's little doubt he was a star...

Scariest thing in that whole article is the headline, everyone has the right to free speech but you don't have the right to intimidate the general public, damage private property or assault law enforcement.

During the election campaign Pence was a vocal critic of Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server.

For those that don't remember this was the whole "Lock her up" thing that was going on.

Well it turns out that Pence himself had a private email server, Actually an AOL account, that he used for official business, including sensitive matters like homeland security. And his account was actually hacked. He also has a bunch of email that he hasn't released too.... sounds very familiar.

Oh the irony....

And it seems that the use of a private email server is only an issue when it is Clinton doing it.

**cs123** · 03-03-2017, 05:36 PM

It has been revealed that Jeff Sessions met with the Russians twice during the election campaign.

During his conformation hearings Sessions denied meeting with them at all.

Now that he has been sprung he claims the meetings were not important, and part of his official business as a senator, and he can't remember what they were about.

Lastest leak is that the trips on which he met the Russians were actually paid for by his campaign, so that takes away the excuse of official business.

He looks to be in trouble.

Private email and private server = apples and bowling balls.

It's very much the definition of a distinction without a difference.

Thanks for the chuckle.

Amazing ....

During the election Mike Pence was essentially a private citizen / ex Governor of Indiana ! He did not hold any position in the US Government until he was sworn in. He had no access to "Classified" material !

Clinton was Secretary of State when she let all the hackers in and helped themselves to all sorts of information. What was on her private server is still classified, so we ( the mushroom public ) do not know what they got.

No comparison at all !

So, what is the crime ????

If he spoke to Malcolm Turnbull, The President of China etc, so what !

If Pauline Hansen speaks to president Trump during next Federal election, is this a crime ? He may even pay for her to go to the USA and the White House ! Will this be a crime ?

More left wing Fake news / beat up.

This relates to when he was governor. But nice try! He was hacked too. He also won't release emails.

It's pretty funny watching the Trump supporters scrambling to justify this...

MITCHAY · 03-03-2017, 08:47 PM

The accusation is he used the private email for official business. You can't conduct official business as an ordinary citizen

The crime would be perjury. He made that statement in his confirmation hearing. It's never the original thing that trips these guys up.... it's the lies they tell after.

It's the same as the GOP going after Bill Clinton. It wasn't the BJ that got him but the statement of not having sexual relations that nearly did him in.

If the GOP is this hot about chasing someone for misleading congress (Clinton) I'd imagine they would have very strong views about lying during a confirmation hearing too? But I perhaps not.....

anyway, let's see how this plays out. He doesn't have too many Republicans in his corner at the moment.

You either work for the government or not so my point is still valid. You can't be both

You're right. From what I understand by Indiana law he could use private email to conduct official business but it is subject to public record.

Legalities aside it is what was used against Clinton quite a lot in the election campaign. Same **** as far as I'm concerned.

Probably isn't a crime to talk, but to then lie about it. Well did he lie? His wording suggests he been coached to prevent more trouble. His wording suggests he didn't discuss anything official or important.
But in context of the issues clouding the governance and the suspicion held of Russia by the US for whatever reason it doesn't look good. A second scalp looks likely to be claimed
