Eight years after targeting Hillary Clinton's email protocols, Trump's transition team is relying on private servers instead of secure government accounts.

Summary

Donald Trump’s transition team is relying on private email servers and devices instead of secure government accounts, raising cybersecurity concerns among federal officials as sensitive government data could be exposed.

This decision comes despite Trump previously criticizing Hillary Clinton’s email practices during the 2016 election, when he and Republicans framed her use of private email as reckless and dangerous.

Critics argue this inconsistency highlights insincerity, suggesting the prior outrage over Clinton’s emails was a politically motivated attack rather than a genuine concern about national security.

    Democrats and the media need to stop acting like anyone cares about “muh norms”

    That’s the thing, though: the Dem leadership and the billionaire owned establishment media care about 3 things above all else.

    In ascending order of priority: norms, institutions, maximizing their own wealth and influence.

    They pretend to care about truth, justice, fairness, dismantling the orphan crushing machine, and all that, but that’s mostly just a performance to gaslight the poors.

    You’re 100% right about everything else, though.
