3. Good point, all the ranting and raving about Hillary's emails and there was evidence of hacking

In the gov accounts, okay, Republicans, what's next.

5. So the government is incapable of building a sever than can't be hacked.

So we have to privatize it. I am sure you will be posting about that when government wants to privatize its operations.

4. Well then of course they have Hillary's "cleaned/destroyed" server data. If they don't then the

NSA and/China do...

6. Eddie Snowden?

With all the crap that gets thrown about on DU, I have about as much evidence for this as anything else on here. Maybe he helped. He's there in that bastion of freedom and didn't he already claim he could read Obama's emails?
