Office 365 is Microsoft’s “Office in the Cloud” solution. Exchange servers, rights management, and document storage are all in the cloud. That being said, I doubt the government is using it, esp. for federal offices, but then there are a lot of things they do that make no sense to me, so it’s possible.
Bottom line, this is a stonewalling tactic by the regime. I would bet the number of Americans who believe this tripe are fewer than 20% of the population. Anyone paying attention for the last 25 years knows full well that enterprises, corporations, and governments have backups of backups. If you don’t have your data stored locally, backed up to local servers, removable media, and with a secure storage provider (i.e. Iron Mountain) then you’re either an underhanded idiot or a liar.

LOL. You give way to much credit to the American public. I’d bet <10% understand how email, servers, backups, etc. are handled.
