Hillary Adviser Faulted Bush WH for Same Email Practice

John Podesta, top adviser to Hillary Clinton, is being dragged into Clinton's personal email scandal with revelations that he criticized the George W. Bush administration for the same practice in 2007.

When the Bush administration came under fire for using personal email accounts during an investigation into whether they had fired federal prosecutors for political purposes, Podesta, who served in the Bill Clinton White House as chief of staff, told The Wall Street Journal, "At the end of the day, it looks like they were trying to avoid the records act ... by operating official business off the official systems."

The NY Times said that Clinton aides "took no actions to have her personal emails preserved on department servers at the time, as required by the Federal Records Act."

What good is the Federal Records Act or any other of these acts if there are no consequences,except for underlings, when they are grossly violated? Everyone should be treated the same and prosecuted, fined or fired for these violations othe wise the paper they are printed on might as well be placed in a bathroom where they could be useful!

"At this moment there are no realistic alternatives. If Mrs. Clinton's electoral prospects sink, her party goes down with her."

As it should!
