So When is the House GOP Going to Subpoena Jeb Bush's Email Server?

    Obviously this is when hell freezes over. However, they are falling all over themselves on getting Hillary's email server. 

    "As Jake Sherman and John Bresnahan report, Speaker Boehner is trying to keep this from turning into a circus:

Boehner even employs an aide to keep investigations streamlined. But with three committees potentially gearing up for Clinton probes, a full-blown congressional chase is already on.

Senior Republican sources say the situation is under control, and each committee will have their avenue for exploration if they want it. The contours of each investigation are not set in stone, but they are taking shape. Gowdy’s Benghazi committee will deal with emails that contain information relating to the attack in Libya — and nothing else. Chaffetz, meanwhile, will probe all non-Benghazi emails.

The mechanics of how all this will unfold aren’t clear, and there are significant legal questions over whether Republicans on Capitol Hill can obtain control of Clinton’s email server.

     Yet, Jeb Bush and Colin Powell also used their private email to conduct business. James Carville who's been there for the Clinton firefights over the years explains: 

    "There was nothing in the law that prohibited Secretary Clinton from using her personal email to conduct business as long as those emails were preserved, which they were. She preserved them and turned over all of them that had to do with State Department business -- 55,000 pages of them. But that's not enough for the right wing, who will continue to obsess over this issue until they find a new one."

    "Let's watch the Clinton Rule in effect: Colin Powell and Jeb Bush also used their personal email, but they are held to a different standard in the press. Colin Powell admitted on ABC's This Week on Sunday that not only did he also use his personal email while secretary of state, but that he didn't preserve them or turn any of them over to the State Department as requested."

     "Everyone went wild when they heard that Secretary Clinton had her own email server, but for some reason theydidn't seem to mind that Jeb Bush has his own server that hosts his personal email, and had the server housed in a state-owned office building when he was governor of Florida. The Washington Press Corps celebrated Bush's "transparency" for releasing 10 percent of his emails."

      Hmm. No investigations for Powell who didn't even turn them over as Hillary did. After Hillary turned them over 55,000, the GOPers and media scandal mongers demanded more emails. Yeah, I guess 55,000 is not enough. I mean you'd think that one person couldn't read through 55,000 emails in their life but thanks to the Clinton Rules, they want more. The Clinton Bashers will always want more.  Meanwhile they accept Jeb giving up 10% of his. No one demands 'Well what's in the remaining 90%?'

     Still, liberals, listen to Carville:

     "Having been on the front line fighting these battles for over 20 years, let me explain to you the basic rule the Washington Press Corps employs when it comes to covering Bill and Hillary Clinton. It is an ironclad rule that most any journalist covering the Clintons must follow: There shall be one standard for covering everyone else in public life, and another standard for the Clintons. Because, well.... because they are the Clintons. Henceforth this will be referred to as the Clinton Rule.

My point to you, dear reader, is that it is the Washington Press Corps' rule, and they're not going to change it, but we as progressives don't have to accept it. That is why I am proud to be posting on this site, because no one is more effective at combatting the Clinton Rule than David Brock and his organizations."

    Of course, it's guys like Greg Sargent and Paul Waldman that need to read this. They do acknowledge the Clinton Rule but somehow feel that there is something about the Clinton's that somehow triggers it.

    I hope liberals will listen to Carville. Just because the Republicans and the media continue to piously declare there's some matter of great importance about her emails and Hillary still needs to answer more questions doesn't mean we have to agree with them-which enables them to say 'Even liberals are uncomfortable by Hillary using her private emails'-which is just absurd. Why would anyone who lives in the real world think there is any issue of importance here at all? Yeah lets solve wage stagnation and the loss of economic and social mobility first and debate emails sometime-much-later, hopefully after I'm dead. 

    So if you are a liberal that's drunk the kool aid then when are you going to demand Jeb Bush answer questions about his server? Here is a followup question? Do you think anything good or meaningful has ever come out of the Benghazi investigation in the GOP House? If not then keep in mind that's likely where this Much Ado About Email scandal comes from:

   "But one thing we know -- understand this -- this is not the last story, and there will be many more. I wish that I could tell you that this trite nonsense is going to go away, but it won't. Based on all my time in Washington watching the GOP scandal machine go, my guess is that this story came as a result of contact between the New York Times and Republicans on the House Select Committee on Benghazi, which is undoubtedly the most useless waste of congressional time in history."

   Meanwhile Greg Sargent gets it right here:

   "Republicans might remind themselves of that by looking back at what all their investigations in the 1990s did for them. They certainly made Bill Clinton’s life unpleasant (not to mention the lives of a lot of staffers who got swept up in them despite having done nothing wrong), and they may have kept his administration from accomplishing some things it otherwise would have. They made for some dramatic political theater. But they didn’t stop him from being reelected, or from leaving office with high approval ratings. And they probably won’t stop Hillary Clinton from being elected president."

   So take heart liberals, and take Carville's point. I see that the some of the Media Matters commentators make a good point:

   "Yes!!!! It is not helpful - or realistic - to limit this to the Clintons. That is the argument too many Dem's swallow as a reason not to have her be the candidate. There MSM holds Democrats to a higher standard. If they respond to attacks they are too defensive, if they ignore them they are not on top of things. We must never forget the dishonest treatment the "liberal" media gave to Al Gore. Be sure to read the shocking justification for this by Margaret Carlson."

     "Not only does the press fail to hold others to the same standards as they do the Clintons, they drowned out real news stories for the sake of their garbage-journalism. Hillary was on site that day to talk about human rights and women's rights around the world, how many questions did we hear from the press about that? 47 US Senators had just that very same day flirted with treason by writing a letter that undermined our national security, how many questions did they ask the former US Secretary of State about that?? It's pathetic, and you hit the nail on the head Mr. Carville."

    I agree, Democrats in general are held to a different standard. What the lamestream press never gets is that if you treat truth and lies equally you're taking the side of lies.
