@821,416 (D)
Fake Anon and I had a back-and-forth about this in October. She used an app called BleachBit™ to delete 30,000-ish emails from her server. She did not, of course, use a corrosive chemical. But why is it called BleachBit? Why not VinegarBit or WaterBit or SodiumBicarbonateBit? Because corrosive chemicals destroy things. "Bleach" (ie ~4% sodium hypochlorite aqueous solution) is a corrosive chemical which cleans things. It evokes the image of, say, bleaching a bloodstain off a white shirt with sodium hypochlorite.
Trump said Hillary "acid washed" her server. He clearly (unless you are a person with autism) meant that she used something to remove the unwanted emails. Donald Trump is not very computer literate (try finding any 72 year old who is). If you are really puzzled by what he meant by "Hillary Clinton acid washed her email server" you are likely on the autistic spectrum.
Now here's the funny (at least to me) part. Back in the '80s there was a thing called "acid washed" jeans (pic related). The "acid" used was chlorine which is actually, in chemical terms a "strong base", the exact fucking opposite of an acid. They should be called "base washed jeans" if anything but somehow people associate "corrosive" with "acid". "Acid wash" jeans were washed with bleach. The app Hillary used to "acid wash" her server? BleachBit.

I mean if you're confused by the "Acid wash/BleachBit" thing, you probably also are confused by why the save icon in Microsoft Word is a picture of a goddamn 3.5" floppy disk which no one has used to save a .doc since like 1999 and has never been used to save a .docx
You're probably also confused as to why the 3.5" disk was called a "floppy" when it's actually quite rigid and the casing will fracture under slight deflection in which case might I suggest a glass of Domestos taken orally until symptoms improve.

> these claims are inaccurate about the process and what it means when compared to reality
Aha! We have a falsehood.
Your insight about acid-washed jeans isn’t useful. It appears you’re trying to claim this is common vernacular and Trump was simply being colloquial. He wasn’t:
Trump, Sept. 5: You see what’s going on with her emails. It’s a disgrace. It’s a disgusting situation where she pretends like she doesn’t know. I mean, she had her emails — 33,000 emails — acid washed. The most sophisticated person never heard about acid washing. Acid washing is a very expensive process and that’s to really get rid of them.
Is acid washing jeans like deleting everything off a server? lolno
Trump, Sept. 6, North Carolina: But why do you acid wash, or bleach, the emails? Nobody even heard of it before. Very expensive. Just ask yourself.
Was it expensive? The software is free. Are acid-washed jeans expensive? Lol
Trump, Sept. 6, Virginia: How about the acid wash of the e-mails that didn’t mean anything? How about the 33,000 missing e-mails that were acid washed — acid washed. And Rudy was telling me, nobody does it because it’s such an expensive process. OK, 33,000.
Here there’s another claim: is it common and normal? Yes. Very. SOP for decommissioning anything sensitive to business is to use tools for securely deleting data (often a 7-pass write) and then certified destruction. Government work follows guidance from NIST and the “rainbow” series of publications from the NSA. (If I recall correctly, only the green book from the series is in the clear.)
Trumps claims are inaccurate about the process, incorrect about the intent, and incorrect about it’s context. It’s correct to rate his statements false about the individual parts and about the claims at large.

If I ever have to smuggle information out of the country, then I will be sure to save it as minichan.docx on a 3.5" floppy. It's probably more effective than encrypting it at this point.

I'd be more concerned if security concerns were not even considered. It should be standard operating procedure for anyone who has any anti-espionage needs.

Again you're being disingenuous. "He said it was expensive but it's FOSS!" "Deleting emails off a server with an app called BleachBit is nothing like acid washing jeans with bleach!".
Was the server (and associated support, software, IT guys, etc) "expensive"? Probably not to someone who can make a quarter million dollars with a 30 minute speech. Probably very expensive for someone not in the top 1%.
Personally I don't care much about Hillary's server. Lord knows I have at least 30,000 emails I could delete myself. If anything I'm glad she used a good program to delete the emails and didn't just drag the Outlook desktop shortcut into the recycle bin or something.

But see here's the thing. She had the entire State Department IT staff to do all these decommissioning best practices and NIST rainbow NSA shit for her. But she took it upon herself, saving taxpayers at least like $10,000. When was the last time a Republican did that?

I mean, sure, that makes sense to me. I worry that if we grant Trump freedom to be both colloquial and vivid with language and simultaneously specific about who did what, when, and why then we’re abandoning objectivity and only allowing conjecture. That’s not how I construct arguments or something I see as a responsible way to make accusations of other people.
Now explain the other claims by Trump: it was expensive, it was unusual, and nobody knows about it.
How can something be so common and cheap as to be used for jeans and yet also so expensive and specialized?
It’s not colorful language but an intentional manipulation to start with something familiar (cleaning something) and then attach it to exaggerated claims—it was expensive and uncommon and therefore could only be done for nefarious purposes.
That is what NBC is calling a lie. It wasn’t unusual or expensive and nobody has proof to show it was nefarious. The statement from Trump, at large, is still false even if we grant acid washing as a colloquial term.

I don't think anyone would disagree that Hillary Clinton deleted emails from her server at some point for some reason. I don't know or care why she did it or what emails were deleted.
The point is, is "acid washing" an email server synonymous with "bleaching" or "wiping" an email server? I say yes.

We are in agreement. This is not the argument, though.
NBC is rating Trump’s aggregate claims as false because they are false. How is that Fake News?
youre moving the goalposts from being about Trump’s claims being fake news (what NBC did) to only the bit about the acid/bleach language as being what they’re calling fake news (what you can niggle about and feel some manner of self satisfaction)

Also you’re both granting Trump the ability to be a naive old man waxing poetically about technology he doesn’t understand while also simultaneously a sage businessman with precise command over details as to be reliable in the purpose of his storytelling.
He has signed thousands of contracts and been deposed in various civil disputes. He knows details are incredibly important for himself and to other people and shows he can use them to his advantage. He demonstrates the ability to compare things and to select what he thinks will be best in many different contexts.
I’m not saying he can never be wrong and must always be 100 percent precise. I’m saying he knows it is standard and expected conduct to be truthful and accurate about accusations of what other people have done.
He’s just straight up a liar about things when convenient to him, though. He starts from something familiar and then moves to falsehoods. It’s manipulation, it’s what NBC was identifying, and it’s what I am focusing on despite your continued lack of acknowledgement.

That is my argument. Trump said Hillary deleted emails. NBC said "nope" because Trump did not correctly name the app she used to delete them.
> youre moving the goalposts from being about Trump’s claims being fake news (what NBC did) to only the bit about the acid/bleach language as being what they’re calling fake news (what you can niggle about and feel some manner of self satisfaction)
In which case the "fact check" should have said "yes but she did nothing wrong". The "fact check" never said anything about whether she actually deleted emails or not or why she did or did not delete them. I'm saying that NBC fact checkers rating Trump's claim that Hillary Clinton "acid washed" her email server as "false" because she did not "use a corrosive chemical" is literally true but entirely missing the point.
> NBC is rating Trump’s aggregate claims as false because they are false. How is that Fake News?
That's a completely different argument. Did Hillary Clinton delete official emails for some nefarious purpose? I don't know. Does it matter whether you call it "bleaching" "acid washing" or "wiping"? No.
