					<description><![CDATA[&quot;Second, your employer may (will, if it is any kind of government agency) have document retention policies.&quot;

And this is one reason why such agencies will require their top employees *not to use official company email servers*. Either verbal meetings or external communication: so that the company can delete the information when investigated without breaching company policy.

It&#039;s why the previous republican administration used private email servers for their highest personnel.

And why the police are going back to paper for reports: they&#039;re not as open to FOIA requests and are more easily lost or deleted in a cost cutting exercise.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&quot;What is better alternative? Who should I vote for?&quot;

So we&#039;re not allowed to tell you to stop telling us lies about us not voting for Clinton UNLESS we tell you how to vote?!?!?!??!

Doesn&#039;t work like that.

Vote as you decide. But recognise that you&#039;re voting for evil, just the lesser one. You DO try to claim that not voting for the lesser evil is letting the bigger evil in. But you refuse point blank to realise YOUR complicity in this current tragic situation.

Apparently taking responsibilities for the consequences of your voting choice is something you reserve only for others....]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&quot;Ok. You sound awfully sure of yourself. How did you come up with that?&quot;

Blind faith, obviously.

The inevitable consequence of anti-politics, shock headline journalism, and a political class who don&#039;t have to care about votes (ergo misleading the voter is not merely useful, but *sensible*). leads here.

After all, &quot;Trump may be a nutcase, but Clinton is worse!&quot; leads to having to FIND reasons why she&#039;s worse. Even if those reasons don&#039;t exist, or exist equally all around the candidates.

Just think on this: how bad would this have been if the Republicans had been able to field a merely incapable candidate, a la Shrub? What if they had a Nixon?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Brainstorms,
&quot;If we follow your suggestion, then we’d have to immediately open investigations and probably prosecutions of several members of Bush Jr’s administration — who committed much more egregious violations and cover-ups that Clinton is accused of… something the right-wing hypocrites conveniently ignore.&quot;
 
Saying, &quot;oh, but the other mob are bad, too&quot; isn&#039;t the ideal approach for a political party that is trying to actually differentiate itself from the blatant criminals (and end-of-times nutjobs) that were infesting the opposition.
 
The Tea Party is in a class of its own. Or it should be. And Clinton&#039;s breaches of national security, and her lies to the FBI about it, would get any normal person prosecuted and jailed. She might be better than the barrel-scrapings she&#039;s competing against, but she isn&#039;t anywhere near good enough.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[What Eric said. 

However I wouldn&#039;t be at all surprised if that number got pulled out of somebody&#039;s nether quarters because it&#039;s yuge. 

For that matter you don&#039;t know how much of it is junk exchanges, using e-mail like texting -- then having much of that preserved in both the in and out boxes.

What&#039;s 4 lunch

Hey wanna see pics of my Weiner?
