More than four years after a squad of House Republicans led a charge against then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for her handling of sensitive diplomatic information, the State Department is once again under scrutiny for how diplomats use personal phones to conduct official business.

But some of those same House lawmakers are now on the opposite side of the controversy, playing defense for U.S. diplomats.

On Tuesday, lawmakers said that President Trump’s top envoys for Ukraine and the European Union used personal phones and an encrypted messenger app as they conducted U.S. policy on Ukraine, a matter that was revealed during House Democrats’ impeachment inquiry.

The most vocal defenders of the Trump administration’s actions include some of the most aggressive critics of Clinton’s handling of sensitive information, including Rep. Jim Jordan (R) of Ohio, Rep. Mark Meadows (R) of North Carolina and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who as a Kansas congressman had attacked Clinton by underscoring the solemn role of soldiers in defending U.S. secrets.

Yes because the Secretary of State paying money and hiring a company to setup and run a private email server then having it wiped “like with a cloth” when requested to provide emails from said server is totally the same thing as a few low level diplomats using WhatsApp.

ORANGE MAN BAD! RAR!

I just don’t get it. Like I understand how the typical triggered yoga instructor out in Portland could read a story like this and feel better about the guilt she had for the abortion she had when she was 22, because republicans are all hypocrites right?

But why waste time posting this crappy story on PatNet where people are just going to make fun of your TDS?
