In the light of the Clinton email scandal, I wonder if anyone calling for her prosecution has any thoughts on this.

There is actually no comparison: why - the title of this is very misleading, it says private server; HRC's was a personal server.
The private server in Mr. Rove's case belonged to the RNC, an arm of the Republican Party. The other server in this case belonged to the White House of the Executive branch of government.
The private server in Ms. Clinton's case belonged to Ms. Clinton.
There is a distinct difference between the two.

Wikipedia also has a good article about the email controversies in the Bush White House with appropriate references and news article links.

SSG John Thornton - That is not what I said. I am not saying that they (the Bush Administration) did not commit possible criminal acts, within their use of email systems.
MAJ Bryan Zeski - There is a big difference, as you should know. First question I would have for you, is this: Are you able to delete emails that you send or receive on or through AKO?
Did both parties (individuals) do something wrong? YES!
But when you get down to it, which one was worse? And no you may not remove the political element from the two situations, because what it boils down to is politics.
To hopefully give you a better understanding - Have you ever sent an email to one of your Congressman (their official account)? If you did, did you then receive several emails from different entities related to that Congressman? How many of the emails that you received were from the Congressman's official office email system?
Or, you could use the US Mail in place of email and answer the same questions. Think about it.

MAJ Bryan Zeski
SSG Robert Webster - Yes, I can "sort of" delete emails. I have no doubt they still exist and could be FOIA'd. So, deleting emails from my AKO is NOT the same as deleting them from a private or personal server. The government controls the server where my AKO mail is stored.
It is irrelevant which "is worse." Both are criminal acts and should be investigated and punished accordingly.
No, I haven't sent email to my Congressmen. If I did, I would expect to receive replies from their official government accounts. Not a private one. Regardless, if a person uses a personal account to conduct government business, that account should be FOIA-able as well.

SSG Robert Webster - "I am not saying that they (the Bush Administration) did not commit possible criminal acts" - No, but you certainly did imply it. There was only 1 server. It was a private server set up for non-governmental, political uses. It was, evidentially, then used as a back door to keep sensitive governmental conversation off the radar. That is illegal, as was the deletion of those email. So, you're right, there is no comparison. What Rove did was far worse.

Investigate. If he broke the law throw his butt in jail.
Still doesn't change the fact that HillRy belongs in jail.
