YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIs Mike Pence in the same situation Hillary Clinton was in? Brett Erlich, Ben Mankiewicz, Michael A. Wood Jr., and Ryan Clayton, hosts of The Young Turks, discuss. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"Similarity No. 1: They both used private email accounts for work
But: It's legal in Indiana to use a private email account for work. In fact, you could argue Pence may have needed a private account: It's illegal in Indiana for a government official to use her or his official account for political business.
In the State Department, it's not straight-up illegal to use a private account, but government employees are urged to use their work-related accounts for both security and transparency sake. (The regulations were shifting while Clinton was secretary of state, but the general gist is that official emails were supposed to be archived or easily accessible.)
Similarity No. 2: Both politicians point to the fact that their predecessors used private emails for work
But: Clinton exclusively used her private email account for work, something no secretary of state had done before. There's no evidence Pence exclusively used his private email account for work, nor that his use of it was any more or less than past governors of Indiana.
Also: Pence — and on much of this we have to take him at his word — says he's preserving the emails “consistent with Indiana law." (We'll note that he is in the midst of a nearly two-year battle to keep an email private relating to his decision to hire a private law firm to join a lawsuit against then-President Barack Obama's immigration directives.)”*
