Good point. Guilty but not charged.
If the email system is a âsystem of recordâ then itâs verboten. That said, deleted emails are not really deleted. They can be recovered if really wanted. Unless itâs running on some server in the basement. Which is a whole ânuther issue.

Perhaps the head of the Secret Service should testify for 11 hours in an open session of Congress about this mishandling of electronic communications.
What the actual fuck?!
What law did he break?
I like how fascist freaks are perfectly happy to press charges against doctors delivering health care to children yet meanwhile federal prosecutors are plainly unwilling to pursue justice against powerful people who committed some of the most serious crimes imaginable and they did it in public and on television.

She. None.
She was very careful to comply completely with Indiana state law. The State AG is just being a grandstanding prick. The usual gameplay: ballyhoo loudly about opening the investigation and then saying nothing when it quickly and quietly fizzles out. But people will remember that opened the investigation and, in Indiana, heâs betting thatâs a good thing.
In light of the death of Ivanka Trump, the NY AG has postponed the depositions of Donald, Jr. and Ivanka.
In other news, Trump et al will attend a rally in Arizona this weekend as planned.
So the NY medical examiner has determined Ivanaâs cause of death. Blunt force trauma.
Cue the conspiracy theories about Hillary.
Finding out hurts.
In other news, the first traitor who opted for a trial and was found guilty after about a nanosecond of deliberation, is awaiting sentencing. The prosecution has asked for 15 years.
Iâm sure that sent lawyers scrambling for their phones.
Only Arizona scores worse in this just-released quality of life ranking due to âlimited childcare options, a stressed health care system with the highest rate of uninsured, new curbs on voting rights, and few protections against discriminationâ. Donât disagree but not sure how Oklahoma, Louisiana, Mississippi, etc would somehow score better.
Despite Texasâ issues. If it was the second worst state to live in, people would not be moving here in droves.
The study picked 4 out of 6 of the fastest growing states. Maybe they need to revise their criteria.
Thatâs probably not an accident. It would be hardest for fast growing areas to keep up with things like infrastructure, medicine, and education. Growth puts you behind the curve.
I got interested in where immigrants to Texas are now coming from. Texas is apparently one of the highest childbirth states, and about 40% of its growth is apparently from natural increase. The highest percentage of Immigrants are actually international immigrants. In 2017, of 187,545 people actually migrating to Texas,104,976 were international. Before 2017, domestic integration drove Texas growth. Thatâs changed.
Where foreign immigrants come from has also changed, with Asia now being the largest source.
If Texas has a bad reputation for quality of life, it hurts domestic immigration in two ways. It makes it hard to hire top talentâwhy go to Houston when the Marinerâs have won 14 in a row and you can go to Seattle? It also makes it hard for domestic corporations to open new facilities in the state. If itâs no fun to live here, decision-making executives will not want to go. There was a time when it made sense to talk about the tax advantage of living in Texas. Thatâs not really true anymore, and worse, youâre not getting as much for what you pay for. In the urban areas the real estate price advantage is gone as well.
The details of the police response to the Robb Elementary shooting continue to get worse. Itâs now known that some kids were pulled alive from the classrooms who subsequently died before getting to hospital. They, and who knows how many more kids, couldâve been saved with prompt action as is required by current procedures. Barb McQuadeâs comments regarding manslaughter charges just got more real.
There were 376 cops on site at the end. Just think about that. Nearly 400 cops, and they still took the length of a movie to storm the classroom.
TX DPS made up about half of those, and yet everyone is still pointing the finger at the commissioner of the school police dept as the sole point of failure here. Heâs way up there among those culpable, but thereâs no way that he was solely responsible. While he was checked out as a leader, someone else shouldâve stepped up and taken charge.
Greg Abbott visited Uvalde briefly on the 3rd day after the shooting, squeezing it in between fundraising galas, but has not been back since.
Hahahahaha
Nothing is ever deleted.
Oops
Or Texas is just collecting more stupid people.
But I think the real reason is Texasâs wealth gap is just growing. All the jobs that Tesla and Amazon and Apple and Google promised Austin for their massive tax breaks were just filled will skilled out-of-state employees which did nothing bu drive up housing prices.
