Sharyl Attkisson: Hillary's Personal Email Use Part of Pattern
Newsmax ^ | 04 Mar 2015 | Sean Piccoli

Posted on 03/04/2015 9:51:18 PM PST by george76

We know that under this administration, high-ranking officials in various federal agencies have claimed that they didn't understand — or had reasons not to follow — federal law that requires certain sorts of record retention," including for official email correspondence, said Attkisson,

"This has happened, I believe, at the IRS, with HHS," she said, citing the agencies accused, respectively, of targeting politically conservative PACs

...

Attkisson, an independent journalist formerly with CBS News, said that while working on a story about the ACA's online insurance marketplace, HealthCare.gov, she has learned that one official "was specifically told, 'Don't email things; we don't want to create email records.'

"They're very cognizant now that these records are public record," she said.

"If anyone thinks that people who might be doing something the public doesn't like aren't scheming ways to get around the idea that these records can be disclosed, they're being naïve," she said, "because that's going on all the time."

...

And if people at the highest levels aren't following federal law or claiming they don't understand it, what's the law there for?" said Attkisson. "Who's going to follow it at all, if not people at the very top?"

You know, getting rid of evidence is a real pain.

Has anyone tracked the IP address for Hillary's email server? Did she (or her minions) run it herself or was some shared hosting provider used? And if the second, did they keep backups of all emails sent and received like they are pressured to by various law enforcement agencies.

“said Attkisson. Who’s going to follow it at all, if not people at the very top?”

The people at the top don’t have to follow it, they registered THEMSELVES as Exempt.

As for all others, they face the duress of Potomac Work-Camp guns.

Apparently, her server was at or near her NY home. The hard drive is likely to fail soon.?

Everything we have all known for years is all of the
sudden a big revelation to poor Sharyl. This is
beginning to get irritating. Where was she during
Slick Willie’s administration? I am beginning to think
that the lovely Ms Atkisson might have been a pro
wrestling referee in a previous life.

Janet Napolitano did not use email

There were others using personal email.

Nothing is done to enforce the rules, so the rules are ignored.

I believe that very question is before the Supreme Court right now.

According to Justice Kagan, it has to do with whether Clerk B should still edit a draft Clerk C wrote because Clerk A was too busy to write it.

According to Justice Kennedy, if people might be hurt by the Court correcting the government's violation of the law, then the law should not be followed.

According to Freeper Talisker, we are so screwed.

It is hard to believe that a New York US Senator in the current century never used e-mail.

Maybe the hard drive will end up in a second hand shop next to Vince Foster’s.

Guarantee she had: disk-mirroring/duplication, regular backups on tape, archived off site, and all the features of a modern, hi-tech data center. the site had full UPS/generator backup power, and a fully protected environment.

No way they would do it half-way.

Here’s the catch - for years - until they started using others servers for backup and mains - they alone have all the data.

And believe me - it is in a place that will never be found or discovered - regardless of all the FOI acts and subpoena’s that they are hit with. For all practical purposes, they are GONE.

More GONE than Lois Lerner’s emails - which indeed were kept in gov. archives.......unlike hers, Hilary’s will be never found...forever.

Over 30 years in IT systems, internet, etc............

Well, the Clintons do learn from their past. The last time they left a trail, they had to have Sandy Berger retrieve and destroy it from the National archives. won’t make that mistake again. They found a slippery way around it..and will likely get away with it. Again.

Clinton is asking the State Department to release her e-mails. How much worse does it make this that the department knew about them and can release them?

Did she say she wanted State to release emails from the private server in Chappaqua?
