Joe Doakes from Como Park emails:<\/p>\n

Hillary ran a private email server and deleted emails.\u00a0 She has variously tried to claim that everybody does it, that Colin Powell said it was okay, that nobody ever told her it was wrong.\u00a0 Newsweek chimed in with: Bush Did it Too<\/span><\/a>!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>So that makes it okay?\u00a0 No \u2013 wrong is wrong, no matter how many other people did it.\u00a0 Whining that He Did It Too is the old\u00a0False Moral Equivalence defense.\u00a0 Most people quit using it after Third Grade.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>Raising that defense is worse than childish, it\u2019s incriminating.\u00a0 Hillary left the White House to join the Senate in 2001.\u00a0 She was a member of Congress while they were investigating the Bush Administration\u2019s use of email.\u00a0 That means she knew damned well the private server was a problem, but she went right ahead and did it anyway.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>I always knew the mainstream media was biased but it has dropped all pretense of objectivity in its desperate struggle to drag Hillary across the finish line. \u00a0Hillary won\u2019t be the only loser in this election.<\/span><\/p>\n
