IG found that on numerous occasions, COMEY used a personal GMail account to conduct FBI business

Should Comey have recused himself from the Hillary email investigation when did the same thing Hillary was accused of doing?

1. Why is it so hard for people to just use the appropriate email address?

I have three different email addresses on my phone. I've literally never used the wrong one. I've certainly never used the wrong email when sending work information.

2. You are right

but don't try to bring it up on this board.

3. Use of private email was common. Colin Powell did the same. (eom)

5. So did Rice.

And despite Comey's unprecedented savaging of HRC when he found nothing illegal, her private server, which was professionally installed and secured wound up being way more secure than the State Department's.

Also, he was accused of insubordination in her investigation.

6. That wasn't the issue for Hillary. She asked for a secure Blackberry, like Obama had

and the GSA, apparently in a cost saving move, refused to pay for one.

For classified emails, she sent and received them in a SCIF -- she had one set up both at home and at work.

For non-classified emails, she used the private email server that had been set up for the retired President. Her detractors have been arguing that she should have been using the .gov account, but not only was that account slow and clunky -- it was attacked and thousands of emails stolen while she was SoS. The FBI couldn't find any evidence that her personal account was hacked, but they did find that the .gov system -- that she didn't use -- was hacked.

4. THAT's why he specifically mentioned GMAIL in his rebuke to HRC....

He was covering his own ass... trying to make a future case that he had been doing something COMPLETELY DIFFERENT...saying that if she had used GMAIL, things would have been "different."

"Because she was not using a government account—or even a commercial account like Gmail—there was no archiving at all of her e-mails, "

"servers not even supported by full-time security staff, like those found at Departments and Agencies of the U.S. Government—or even with a commercial service like Gmail."
