who here thinks toxic trump's state department will use a private email server?

personally, i think state and several other departments will.

additionally, i think a ton of emails will be mysteriously "lost" shortly before toxic trump leaves office....

using state.gov for non classified email and archiving any random work related email that he receives on a personal email account. The administration changed their policy.

Hillary did not face such a precedent -- and I am pretty certain the question will come up given the whole Clinton email saga,

but toxic trump isn't known for following procedure, and they all know they've got a relentless propaganda machine behind them, and that a republican congress will never investigate even things that we completely out in the open.

my first instinct was that they'd use a private email server out of convenience and to use the destruction of politically damaging crap, but part of my thinks they'll use a private server just as a big "f*ck you" to hillary and democrats.

Full stop.

If Trump decides to carry a sidearm all the time and shoots anyone who pisses him off -- not an impeachable offense if that's what they decide.

With Trump himself, that might depend on whether he does what the Republicans want.
