The government was moving to get them back, but they were dealing with an
ex-President. Politics required them to do so with kid gloves. Look what
happened when they *did* move to take back the documents without Trump's
consent.

Where I work, government records have retention poilicies, based on the type
of record that it is. My understanding is that the deleted documents should
have been deleted the previous year but weren't, and then were deleted
independent of the subpoena.

If you want to go with "but they did it, too," both Ivanka and Jared kept
government correspondence on private servers, until they were instructed not
to. It seems strange that they wouldn't know about that rule after Trump's
whole "Lock her up" campaign, but that's what happened.

Hillary was investigated and found to have been irresponsible, but other than
that to have done nothing wrong.

Jeff.
