Top Obama appointees using secret email accounts
AP via Fox ^ | June 4, 2013

Posted on 06/04/2013 6:20:26 AM PDT by don-o

Some of President 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 shadow government is revealed...

To whom is a political Czar, with a private email account, accountable to?

Blanket subpoena to GMail.

Horseclinton.

Even the computer-savvy “political appointees” pay someone to screen their email and keep it from “overflowing”.

That seems very strange.

No. All emails for government employees used to conduct official business must be archived and are subject to subpoena. These are “under the radar” accounts, to use an Obastard term.

Why does a president who promised transparency need his own Blackberry. To bad they can't get all text messages, emails, incoming and outgoing calls. That would make interesting reading.

Obviously, these people are not about the honest administration of government. Within such secrecy inevitably lies treachery.

What else should we expect. Obama dreamed of being president, and now he’s play acting as he had always dreamed. He isn’t an executive. He’s a pinhead. He has no idea how to govern. He has no idea what protocols are. He’s merely a child at grandmas playing grocer with his siblings. That’s right, scarey isn’t it.

They're using BlackBerrys. I presume the servers are in Canada.

One a message enters the email domain some server is bound to have a record of it somewhere. This may provide the criminals a false sense of security.

Weird stuff.

We are indeed in the final decline of the American Republic.

I'd say I'm sorry I lived to see it, but the decline started half a lifetime ago.

I seem to remember a news item about the servers being in the WH, or NSA or something. I'd bet my house that the Israelis read it all.
