Secy. Defense and private server
What is it with these people, why has this taken so long to surface?
It’s not just Hillary! Defense Secretary Ash Carter also used a private email address for government business after taking up post earlier this year.

Its all done in the name of transparency.
Of course, if the lowly 'proles use private e-mail to conduct business they be shipped off to the gallows, but hey...
...who are we to complain?

Private "email address" is different from running a private "server".
Anyways, us peons would have been terminated and prosecuted.

He resigned on only the threat of impeachment.

I think we should all run for office and take over this political system.
Can you imagine 27 GBs in the Senate?
Every time a democrat stands up to speak, 27 people start packing cans of copenhagen...........

I have no idea, in the US we are systematically conditioned through media, Hollywood movies and have handed over influence to those who hate what our country is. I enjoyed shows like Wonder Woman, Zena warrior princess, GI Jane, Supergirl and the bionic women it was good entertainment or so I thought...look at us now try to make fiction reality in the Armed Forces. They want the freedom to hate and dismantle what made us strong and great. The purpose a republic serves over other forms of Government is it takes the longest to dismantle and become an Oligarchy and eventually a democracy and a socialist/communist and under the current POTUS the U.S. is as divided as it has been since the civil war.

Unfortunately, as divided as we are as a nation, we (U.S) are as apathetic as I have ever seen us. I probably couldn't find 99 out of 100 people in a US mall who have even heard of Ash Carter, much less his email debacle.
People aren't interested in our national interest until something hits them personally, and then, it's short lived interest.

Yeah and no doubt our POTUS and his staff has a tactic they use to push forward they're agenda and what you mentioned is important.
They will push a controversial subject it will get push back they go idle on it then a bigger something will come along making headlines and then they push the previous forward which at that point is just a blip in the media.
