    Deciding not to prosecute isn’t necessarily the same as deciding it wasn’t criminal.

        Do you think they would have prosecuted if it had been a low level employee doing the same thing? Running their own private email server, doing government business on that server?

        I think they would have, that’s why I think it’s important to note that they chose not to prosecute her despite it being something that would have been prosecuted for other less powerful people.

        Was it as big a deal as the GOP made of it? No. But, it’s still a rule that everybody else has to follow or they get charged.
