Did you hear about the politician with the email scandal? If a Republican did it, probably not. The so-called "liberal media" is fixated on Hillary Clinton and ignoring Republicans who did the same or far worse.

Republican e-mail scandals:

Jeb Bush used his private e-mail account as Florida governor to discuss security and military issues such as troop deployments to the Middle East and the protection of nuclear plants. The e-mails include two series of exchanges involving details of Florida National Guard troop deployments after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, the review by The Washington Post found. Bush took more than seven years “to comply fully with a Florida public records statute” on email disclosure.

George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, and Karl Rove: Lost as many as five million emails, covering a two-year span. The emails had been run through private accounts controlled by the Republican National Committee and were only supposed to be used for dealing with non-administration political campaign work to avoid violating ethics laws. Yet congressional investigators already had evidence private emails had been used for government business, including to discuss the firing of one of the U.S. attorneys. The RNC accounts were used by 22 White House staffers, including then-Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove, who reportedly used his RNC email for 95 percent of his communications. Under federal law, the White House is required to maintain records."

Mitt Romney: Wiped his administration's email from the state's server. Eleven of his aides purchased and took their state-issued hard drives. They replaced the remaining computers in the governor's office before Romney's Democratic successor, Deval Patrick, took office.

Chris Christie: Christie administration was chastised because members of its own staff communicated through private emails. And that criticism came not from Governor Christie’s political foes, but from lawyers hired by his team to investigate the burgeoning George Washington Bridge lane-closing scandal.
