He did- and the congress members also have own servers and there is no problem- as they removed any ethical liability or FOIA from it - so I am sure senator Clinton just moved her email to her own new office as SOS-- I already said- 100 times at least- top secret info is sent inside SKIFF!

Yes it was against policy. So is using charitable donations for ones own use, but that has yet to be proven, still in-process.

It really wouldn't be all that hard to do. It's not like he runs a "global conglomerate on the order of Apple, General Electric or Berkshire Hathaway."

1) Sell off the licensing deals.
2) Sell twelve golf courses, two hotels, one resort, one building and liquidate a handful of real estate partnerships.

Done. Conflict of interest put to rest and he and his family can focus on what they say is truly important -- making America great.
It would actually be very difficult to sell any or all of Trump's businesses. It's a little wrinkle in the proceedings I don't think he anticipated, because he didn't expect to win. But to sell them, he'd have to convince someone with a lot of money, that the businesses were worth something. And that would unavoidably lead to the public realization that they aren't actually worth much at all, if their debts and liabilities are taken into account. He's going to be exposed in one more dimension of his fraud. His refusal to reveal his tax returns, is another way he has delayed exposing his shaky financial status. He's going to keep surfing along, on this big wave, as long as he can. But the truth will have to emerge and only his indoctrinated cult members will stand by him. The fun and glory might even crash on the beach, before the Inauguration.

The IG report confirmed what we had previously written: Among Clinton’s predecessors, only Colin Powell (Jan. 20, 2001–Jan. 26, 2005) the new policy became into effect 2005. http://www.factcheck.org/2016/07/a-g...intons-emails/


NOW Mrs. Clinton never had a govt. email account -her staff did- for gen. internal sends - so what this tells me, her account and email was used for how many years? and how many generals an congressmen govt people agencies etc etc?? and HOW many replied and did not scream not authorized? all of it is BS!

You are entitled to your opinions, but not your facts.

You are confused about who used charitable donations for their own use.

Trump is the one who used charitable donations for his own use. He paid a $2,500 fine for using Trump Foundation money to bribe the Florida AG. He also used money from this fund to buy a portrait and other items for his personal use, and also to get himself out of some legal troubles.

Investigations are on-going.

Though Trump might balk at having everyone see his actual financial position, it doesn't look like it would be all that difficult to sell off his various businesses and invest the money is federal bonds or some such.

It's not like he runs a "global conglomerate on the order of Apple, General Electric or Berkshire Hathaway.
