Emails of top Obama appointees remain a mystery
AP ^

Posted on 06/04/2013 4:04:02 AM PDT by bryan999

WASHINGTON (AP) - Some of President Barack Obama's political appointees, including the Cabinet secretary for the Health and Human Services Department, are using secret government email accounts they say are necessary to prevent their inboxes from being overwhelmed with unwanted messages, according to a review by The Associated Press.

The scope of using the secret accounts across government remains a mystery: Most U.S. agencies have failed to turn over lists of political appointees' email addresses, which the AP sought under the Freedom of Information Act more than three months ago. The Labor Department initially asked the AP to pay more than $1 million for its email addresses.

The AP asked for the addresses following last year's disclosures that the former administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency had used separate email accounts at work. The practice is separate from officials who use personal, non-government email accounts for work, which generally is discouraged - but often happens anyway - due to laws requiring that most federal records be preserved.

And “unwanted” defined as messages critical of the Divine Path as spoken unto the masses by the Ear Leader. . .

It comes down to using secret email accounts in advance versus smashing hard drives and shredding paper after the fact. A premeditated, finely orchestrated conspiracy to keep the American people in the dark. The entire executive branch should be taken into custody.

The “most transparent” administration in history. NOT..

Just imagine the outcry if this had been during the Bush administration.

Big Sis Nappy said back in March that she never uses (Govt) e-mail because it’s too “inefficient”. Bet she is tapped into the shadow system though.

“Even on the servers?”

The servers are in Canada.

Everyone at every level in this “administration” should be waterboarded, then humiliated publicly, then deported. The hate of Freedom and the Constitution is endemic by these commies.

Most. Transparent. Administration. In. History.

I know I am not the first to say it, but I can rejoice that the AP is finally reporting.

There is no telling what they have been hiding from the People, the Congress, and the press.

We now get twice the government. The old one and a new improved invisible one. All for only only 150% more taxes! Such a deal.

Yes it is.

Probably much too big for Boehner and McConnell.

I think by unwanted messages they meant emails from the non-Zero voters who don’t agree with the wannabe dictator and his court jesters.

This is MAJOR.

Yes it is and in goes much deeper than has been reported. Before you can get access to a government computer you must have a completed back ground check and have completed mandatory computer awareness training before you can get an e-mail account.

It appears the director of HHS and others in creating these false accounts also falsified training and other government records to create the accounts. In doing so they violated a host a laws and violated countless regulations regarding computer and records security and accountability provisions.

This is go to jail stuff.
