Firendly reminder that this was the real issue with buttery males/but her emails: that Hillary Clinton was using a private email server to circumvent these laws.

And every other US government employee that knowingly emailed to or from that server is also complicit.

Yet another legitimate problem tossed out with the bathwater because it got associated with the maga crowd. Very handy, that.

Point of order. These laws were written because of Mrs. Clinton's server. She wasn't circumventing shit, because the law hadn't caught up to technology, technically it still hasn't, but that's a whole other kettle of fish.

The reason it got "forgotten" is that after they wasted years and tons of money trying to find something to charge her with, they came up empty handed, since it really was just a mistake.
