1, Trump didn't say he was holding back aid to muddy a political rival. I'm sure Donald Trump is not afraid of Joe Biden, and in fact would welcome him as an opponent. 2, The prosecutor Biden wanted fired was looking into the same energy company that Biden's son got a no-show million dollar job for. so there's that.

How do you connect to the "cloud" without a network? Wi-fi is LAN, or are you assuming LAN is only ethernet?

i subscribe to optimum as my cable provider. Their optimum wifi hotspots extend into my home, and i suppose if i wanted to, i could forgo a lan, and use their infrastructure instead. I can't forsee myself doing that, but i wouldn't put it past someone who's less technically inclined.

...Nobody out there is going to give you a free cellular data plan...

7 years ago, i bought a kindle with a free cellular data plan. Amazon is still paying the freight on books that I purchase from them over that device.

The difference between the two is, Trump's tax returns reflect the taxes of a private citizen. (Which he was before he started running for office) Hillary's work related emails do not belong to her, they belong to the United States of America. Trump should show his tax returns, but if he does or doesn't has no legal bearing. Hillary's emails were subpoenaed. I have no problem with people being democrats, but if you support this woman, your willful blindness is dangerous.

There are exactly three possible paths a gov't employee can take if they decide to ever send a personal email while holding office: 1) All email, personal and official, sent on government account - no outside account. 2) all email, personal and official, sent on a private, non-government account - no government account. 3) All personal email sent on personal account, all official email sent on official account. Hillary could have gone with option 1, but I suspect she was afraid of filling up government email archives with her personal yoga workout routines. Condi Rice went this route. She could have gone with option 3, but as was witnessed when the Bush White House was found having email servers paid for by the GOP and used by GOP officials to conduct GOP business, the public had a hard time making sense of what they tried to do, and focused on the occasional misstep. No, Hillary went with option 2, and opened herself up to many, many problems. Answer this question - how do Chuck Schummer, Harry arris, and Nancy Pelosi conduct DEMOCRAT PARTY BUSINESS, on private email servers or on government servers? They, being law-abiding legislators I'm certain comply with the Hatch rule and conduct no party business in their offices or on official email accounts. Just like the Republicans did under Busg.

I'm pretty sure she didn't give a rats ass about her yoga routines clogging govt. archives. Hillary is not an idiot, she knew that by hosting her own server, she had control over what was released back to the state department, or anywhere for that matter. If you think she didn't think of this, you are way too trusting, and probably get ripped off a lot. The fact that she did this, shows she values transparency just as much as the Obama administration, and, she's not deserving of office. Hopefully better candidates will be available come 2016....

Your time might be cheap. Mine is not. I'll gladly pay a specialist to deal with it for me, while I do my own specialization.

I hope you don't think that the local lube shop is staffed by specialists. I spent my high school years working in gas stations, and I can tell you that they're like hot dog factories. you really don't want to know what goes on there.

. ...When you violate those laws you become even more of a risk (in the vast majority of cases)....

vast majority? the vast majority of road users around here break one or more laws every time they get in a car, and a very small percentage of them are having accidents on a regular basis. so, even if they are becoming even more of a risk, it's at best a slightly incremental one.
