President Donald Trump’s voter fraud commission came under fire earlier this month when a lawsuit and media reports revealed that the commissioners were using private emails to conduct public business. Commission co-chair Kris Kobach confirmed this week that most of them continue to do so.

Experts say the commission’s email practices do not appear to comport with federal law. “The statute here is clear,” said Jason Baron, a lawyer at Drinker Biddle and former director of litigation at the National Archives and Records Administration.

But it's just fine for the Secretary of State to use private email to conduct official business?

Why yes.... of course.   The statute here is clear.....

except if/when it pertains to a Democrat (like Hillary Clinton).   Then, and only then, is it vague, uncertain and ....

unclear.

Got it.

If we say it isn't...

...shouldn't we be consistent?

Or is Hillary's behavior just fine as long as Trump's team does it?
