Hillary Clinton Used Personal Email At State Dept., Possibly Breaking Rules
HughPickens.com writes: The NY Times reports that Hillary Rodham Clinton exclusively used a personal email account to conduct government business as secretary of state, according to State Department officials. She may have violated federal requirements that officials' correspondence be retained as part of the agency's record. Clinton did not have a government email address during her four-year tenure at the State Department. Her aides took no actions to have her personal emails preserved on department servers at the time, as required by the Federal Records Act. "It is very difficult to conceive of a scenario — short of nuclear winter — where an agency would be justified in allowing its cabinet-level head officer to solely use a private email communications channel for the conduct of government business," said attorney Jason R. Baron. A spokesman for Clinton defended her use of the personal email account and said she has been complying with the "letter and spirit of the rules."
Shes a democrat, she could kill children on the street and get away with it.
If she was using an email service on US soil there is most definitely an email trail in some government bunker somewhere.
What makes her email any different from everyone elses'?
I'm sorry, but George W Bush taught us that not even showing up matters, or did you forget his stint in the National Guard?
Yes, like every other political figure who has attempted to hide their activity from public scrutiny by breaking the rules that are there to ensure such scrutiny is possible. Let's be doubly clear, Hillary is as guilty of this crime as are any number of Republican crooks, but just watch the right-wing pundits whip themselves into a wild-eyed, spit-spraying frenzy of this particular offender.
