@Schultz44 @jonkarl You should probably look into this more before tying a game of 'gotcha'…

White House Deputy Press Secretary Eric Schultz attempted to help Hillary Clinton out of her bind by passing along this ABC News story:

Rep. Jason Chaffetz's Business Card Lists His Gmail Address http://t.co/Uawaw3RWEZ via @jonkarl pic.twitter.com/LBQyvEfoFx

— E. Schultz -Archived (@Schultz44) March 11, 2015

It that a big deal? No: “Chaffetz told ABC News that his business card was not paid for with government funds and that Congress is not subject to the Federal Records Act.”

.@confedofadunce Congress is also prohibited from using government resources for political purposes. @Schultz44

In spite of the fact that a Federal worker’s email regs aren’t nearly the same as those for members of Congress, the White House press office seems to hope the bogus comparison helps vindicate Hillary. It doesn’t:

Quick question, @Schultz44: What would Chaffetz use this business card for? Hint: Political events. You're welcome. @jonkarl

.@Schultz44 @jonkarl did Hillary's email as Senator end in @clintonemail.com? Oops there goes the 2 device/personal email theory

@Schultz44 Do you have a point here, princess?

@Schultz44 @jonkarl Lol … You have no point right? Just being specious?

— Dan Vandefifer (@vandefifer) March 11, 2015

@Schultz44 @jonkarl but he gets it out there to the uninformed and they believe it. That's the point, it's not about accuracy

@Schultz44 @jonkarl Even deleted Gmail emails would be subject to subpoena. But deleted emails from a private server are simply *gone*

— BAH! Humbuggery… (@thehiredmind) March 11, 2015

@Schultz44 This has already been brought up and vetted. Try focusing on the one who would be president. #TryAgain

@Schultz44 @jonkarl Which law does that violate again? None?

@Schultz44 You're not very good at this, are you?
