I find the irony in her jesting to Trump for his business losing a billion dollars. As Colin Powell's leaked e-mail said, "Everything HRC touches she kind of screws up with hubris." Colin Powell was trying to explain to Clinton about using a private server to backdoor e-mail's. It's so destructive to see these 'characters' manipulate their way to victory, interfering in so many lives, yet end up failing like a cartoon character in Loony Tunes.

While I don't disagree about Clinton and her hubris, it seems silly to be celebrating it now considering the new administration is taking moves right from her playbook, like the current cabinet hanging onto private email accounts. It was obvious that HRC was doing it to avoid the accountability of a papertrail, we talked about it all through the election, and now the new administration is embracing the same old bullshit.

To call a spade a spade though: New cabinet members were found using their RNC emails (according to a reporter from the most evidence I have seen) which is very different then Hillary's private emails. This is also within only days of the transition occurring. If they still are using them months after ping me and I will care.

What do you mean by this? That hey have private email accounts, or that they conduct official business through private email accounts? Both?
