No I did not...I asked you to provide proof of any government official who used their OWN private server to conduct their official business, not someone elses.... that is what I asked.... and you answered by blowing smoke.

Damn he got you.
Server not account if you don't know the difference than stop the discussion.
The shills are getting paid more money I've been noticing it a lot more lately.
I provided proof of them using a private server.
The Bush White House email controversy surfaced in 2007 during the controversy involving the dismissal of eight U.S. attorneys. Congressional requests for administration documents while investigating the dismissals of the U.S. attorneys required the Bush administration to reveal that not all internal White House emails were available, because they were sent via a non-government domain hosted on an email server not controlled by the federal government.

Indeed you did. But it doesn't matter if it was owned by Bush or if it was owned by the RNC. The same laws would apply because it was still a privately-owned server outside of the control of the government.
Correct? The premise is still the same, is it not?
I rate 1 out of 5 stars for attempted spin fail.

I only answered your question, Rick. I provided proof that privately-owned servers have been used before and no one appears to have ever been held accountable. No one in the Bush admin or the RNC for having the server.
In the court of law, that's called precedent.

Like I give a damn.

The lovely benefit when it's YOUR OWN private server...is that you get to delete anything you don't want someone else to see.
But wait, there's more...you ALSO get to wipe YOUR OWN hard drive..."like with a rag or something".

They also wiped whatever they wanted to off of the RNC server in the example I provided.

Did they exclusively do all government business on the RNC server? Was classified information compromised?
If so,...hang 'em too.
Instead of others using private servers sets a precedence

That's not what I said at all.
What I have just shown, per your request, is that there is precedence for government officials using a private server to conduct official government business and no charges seem to have ever come from it. In fact, it appears that it never went anywhere at all.
What we can reasonably conclude is that it is very possible no charges will come out of this investigation and that the standards we set for the actions of government officials is dependent upon their political affiliation.
