That's nothing. Compare that to deleting 30,000 emails to avoid them being scrutinized in an investigation.


You think Hegseth's use of Signal is nothing. Gotcha. Rules for thee but not for me.


I think using an open source encrypted communication app is no big deal compared to what Hillary Clinton did.

The Democratic Party thinks that what Hillary Clinton did was no big deal. Rules for thee, but not for me.

Comments like this really don't belong in hacker news. They amount to blind partisanship and instigation of flame wars.


comparing Hegseth to HRC will do a whole lot more :)


Clinton deleted 30,000 emails to prevent them from being scrutinized in an investigation.


we are not banana republic (just yet, getting there though) so anyone that breaks a law under a given statute you file charges, run an investigation and punish if law(s) are broken. if memory serves me well there was one :) can’t say the same for Hegseth et al but night is young so-to-speak…


The prosecution record, where Trump and dozens of his allies were prosecuted, is the record of a banana republic.

Like I said there's hundreds of thousands of regulations which hold the potential for criminal sanction. They could have found her guilty of something when she deleted those emails. The SDNY DAG found a way to charge the developers of Tornado Cash with running an illegal money transmission service when they didn't even hold it in custody of any funds, they simply published code. They stretched the law to incredible lengths to get someone they wanted. And they couldn't find something to pin on Hillary Clinton? Ridiculous.

They didn't for political reasons and you're naive or dishonest for believing otherwise.
