As Twitchy reported Wednesday, that photo of a bunch of documents strewn on the floor of Mar-a-Lago inspired The Atlantic’s Adam Serwer to argue that if it were anyone else, they’d be prosecuted. That kicked off a great thread of Hillary Clinton GIFs. Remember how she not only mishandled classified documents (she claimed she thought the (C) was just a paragraph marker) but wiped her server with BleachBit and smashed phones with hammers?
CNN knows that a lot of conservatives are saying that Clinton got away with mishandling classified documents, so they went out and found a former CIA lawyer who saw Clinton’s emails to explain how there’s no comparison to the FBI’s raid on Mar-a-Lago.
“There’s really no comparison”: Ex-CIA lawyer Brian Greer, who saw the contents of Hillary Clinton’s emails while working for the agency, weighs in on how that situation differs from former President Trump keeping classified documents at Mar-a-Lago. Watch: https://t.co/dogJufK5jo

Nobody saw Hillary's emails except Hillary and the Russian hackers. He's also seen the Mormon tablets, yetis and the Loch Ness Monster but he hasn't seen the contents of the files taken in the raid, so how can he make a comparison?

Yeah, how can he claim to have seen the contents of Clinton’s emails when they were wiped?
How can you see emails that were deleted?

How did he get to see her emails if they were wiped off the servers, as was claimed in her defense?

Hold up. Did @CNN just say that a CIA agent viewed @HillaryClinton emails? Does that include the 30,000 that were deleted after a Congressional subpoena?
President Trump has the PRA to manage his records, classified or not. Hillary doesn’t. He should testify now.

Nope. China/Russia got all her data before she deleted it all and bleach bitted hard drives and destroyed smartphones when they were all under subpoena

Did it differ because she illegally got rid of them and Trump didn’t? Or that he is a former President and can declassify documents and she couldn’t?

Clinton’s emails very well could have made it into the hands of foreign actors (and likely did). She did not have plenary authority to declassify information. Trump kept papers in a closet.

He has absolutely no idea what kind of info was in the trump boxes

We do know that Clinton deleted more than 30,000 emails about yoga and planning for Chelsea’s wedding because that’s what she told us.
