  3. You mean the kinds of rules "broken" by both Powell and Rice when they held the Sec State positions and were never investigated, and continue not to be investigated to this very day despite their "transgressions" having come to light? You mean like that?

    you care to document those transgressions in the context of the fact email was a new idea at the time of powell.

    there is no comparison...

    exactly right... Clinton campaign was pretending the circumstances were similar back then. however we know they are not the least bit similar now.

    from your article...


    Powell rejected the inspector general’s findings and called for the emails to be released. He told NBC News: “I wish they would release them, so that a normal, air-breathing mammal would look at them and say, ‘What’s the issue?’”

    The former secretary of state explained in a statement that they were forwarded messages that two American ambassadors sent to state department staff. “My executive assistant thought I should see them in a timely manner so sent them to my personal account,” he said.

    He said that while the department now has said they are “confidential” – a low level of classification – both messages were unclassified at the time and there was no reason not to forward them to his personal account. “I have reviewed the messages and I do not see what makes them classified,” Powell added. “The ambassadors did not believe the contents were confidential at the time and they were sent as unclassified.”

    Powell’s office said he was visited by two FBI agents in December for a general discussion about email practices during his time at the state department.

    Georgia Godfrey, Rice’s chief of staff at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution, said the former secretary of state did not use email while in the job nor have a personal email account. It was her understanding that the emails in question were sent to Rice’s assistant, “reporting diplomatic conversations and they contained no intelligence information”.

  8. Right. So different. State Department correspondence conducted via personal e-mail re: classified material. Who knew. Oh, they're Republican? Nothing to see here, folks.

    Sorry I missed this.

    Circumstantial evidence, any tax rate at all provides some incentive to shelter income. Cash reserves, onshore or offshore (both at record levels) do not prove investment is subdued because of taxes.

    Investment is subdued because the mountains of capital out there have simply not found any profitable place to go that capital has not already found.
