We were told by the left that not only is this not a problem, but she could even set up a personal server, kept in a bathroom in Denver, and send not only messages, but classified information, then wipe the server when it came into question.
How is this newsworthy?
So relieved. The money, power, and influence were obviously not enough. Finally they gave awards to each other on TV and got their due.
Strangely Trump got the media to say : it's because McRaven isn't a Clinton fan that he's credible.

Poll: Majority of Democrats think Republicans are "racist," "bigoted" or "sexist"

Here Are the Trailblazing Republican Women Who Made History on Tuesday Night
Republican women made history during the 2018 midterm elections.
(I don't watch the news, but had only heard the diversity and glass ceiling breaking championed on the left.)

Hate on the left, violence, mobs, anti media
Mob at Tucker Carlson's home: Antifa mob gathered at his home where his wife was alone, chant that he must leave town, smash down the door of their home, threaten a bomb.
Clearly the hate is on the right.

Uspol, hate on the left
Someone HANGED an effigy of a Republican from a tree – with ‘STOP the HATE’ sign!
The winner of the political demonstration most lacking in self-awareness is this effigy of a Republican hung from a tree in Tennessee with the sign, “stop the hate.”
This chaos must stop, it's terrible! Vote for change! The number of employed Americans has never been higher. The 156,562,000 Americans employed in October is the twefth record set under President Donald Trump. CW for length, more jobs numbers below.
In October, the number of employed men age 20 and up -- 80,405,000 -- set the 12th record since Trump took office; and likewise, for the 12th time, the number of employed women age 20 and up set a record, reaching 70,909,000 in October.
The unemployment rate held at 3.7 percent, the same as September, which is the lowest it's been in decades -- since the end of 1969. And the Hispanic unemployment rate, 4.4 percent, has never been lower.
The unemployment rate for African-Americans, 6.2 percent, remained near the all-time low of 5.9 percent set in May.
On top of those numbers, the economy added a whopping 250,000 jobs last month.

3 Proofs that mainstream media bias does not exist, that Republicans should be crazy to attack CNN, etc, like Obama attacked Fox News :
Earlier this month, before the suspicious packages sent to democrats, suspicious packages were sent to Republicans, some testing positive for ricin, one grain of which is lethal and has no known antidote.
1. The media asserted that Trump's rhetoric and his alone was the cause of the suspicious packages sent to democrats. Certainly we can find media giving equal blame to his opponents rhetoric from earlier this month for the packages sent to republicans.
2. Media dubbed the second unknown mailer the MAGA bomber, certainly they must have dubbed the first three Love Trumps Hate bomber.
3. CNN ran the ticker blaming Trump as news was just breaking about the second mailer, they must have run the ticker blaming democrats for the first.
Or none of the above is true and media bias seems glaring.

Democrats are to blame for the packages sent to Republicans in equal amount to the blame resting on Republicans for packages sent to democrats.
Maybe this stuff isn't restricted to one side, but we just assume it is because the media gets viewership by polarizing so they present it that way. (Or media outlets are more just active as an arm of a political party and we'd do well to acknowledge that.)
Maybe we can rise above the constant us VS them mentality and get away from the one sided outrage for a minute to think clearly.
