Hillary Clinton Used Personal Email at State Dept., Possibly Breaking Rules
NY Times ^ | MARCH 2, 2015 | MICHAEL S. SCHMIDT

WASHINGTON — Hillary Rodham Clinton exclusively used a personal email account to conduct government business as secretary of state, State Department officials said, and may have violated federal requirements that officials’ correspondence be retained as part of the agency’s record.

Mrs. 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.

From my two year old link above: And why was Clinton apparently receiving emails at a non-governmental email account? The address Blumenthal was writing to was hosted at the domain "clintonemail.com" (we're not going to publish everybody's email address!), which is privately registered via Network Solutions. It is most certainly not a governmental account. Staffers in the Bush White House famously used private email accounts to conduct government business as a way to circumvent the Presidential Records Act, which mandates that all official communications be archived. Republicans are suspicious that the Obama White House is continuing the practice; Rep. Darrell Issa is currently investigating it. Clinton's emails are also subject to the Freedom of Information Act. While it's not strictly a violation of the PRA and FOIA for Clinton to conduct official business on a non-government account, the law requires that those emails be archived along with her @state.gov communications. And there seems to be little reason to use a different account other than an attempt to shield her communications with Blumenthal from the prying eyes of FOIA requesters. Neither the State Department nor the White House would immediately comment on whether the White House knew that Blumenthal was digitally whispering in Clinton's ear, or if the emails were preserved as the law requires. And if, as it appears, Blumenthal's emails contained information that was classified, or ought to have been treated as such, it could be a major security breach for Clinton to have allowed it to be sent to her on an open account, rather than through networks the government has specifically established for the transmission of classified material. Why, someone could hack into it. You never know.

read the comments on the article. This is a comments area overwhelmingly liberal and they are none too pleased. Lots of use of the word ‘entitlement’. They’re not all that pumped up to see her run.

They obviously want Warren who is a true left winger as opposed to an opportunist like Hitlery.

As someone who has worked for the military and government for over 15 years now, I find this extremely hard to believe that it was anything BUT intentional....

Other Shoe Dropping Dep’t — now you know why the “fed workers view porn” flap got started last week, even though the problem must be as old as internet access.

Thing is, she can break the rules and get away with it. No one like say, Scott Walker, can even think about something like this without the Marxist press branding him a criminal.

So, "what difference does it make?" She'll get away with it!

The GOP might not have learned from Nixon, but the democrats sure did.

Like anything will come of it as millions will never know as the corrupt media will never cover it.

We all know they are corrupt and lie just like the fairy boy, but is frustrating is that the media will not talk or even mention any of these scandals.

Then it is high time to subpoena her private email account. I’ll bet that will reveal a huge load of corruption.

Boy the campaign season has begun early. Wonder who had this in their bag of dirty tricks. I approve of the move though.
