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.
