Department of Justice Using Fake Emails Cannot be Good for America
IWB ^ | Mark Angelides

Posted on 08/09/2017 1:26:58 PM PDT by davikkm

There are already so many layers of truth involved in government interactions, that adding to them does nothing for either transparency or trust in the people who ostensibly keep us safe. In a 413 page document handed over to Judicial Watch via a Freedom of Information request, there are included emails from former AG Loretta Lynch using an alias: “Elizabeth Carlisle”.

Apparently this is in no way illegal, and in fact Lynch’s predecessor, Eric Holder, also used an alias; his was “Lew Alcindor,” (Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s given name). But if it is not illegal, it is at the very least ethically questionable.

When an FOIR comes in, it covers certain parameters, and all documents that are included within those parameters are handed over. If for example it is about Loretta Lynch, then all documents that are to, from, and about her are gathered and (barring any classified information). But if we get into the realm of aliases and codes, then it becomes quite easy to avoid these requests legally.

I’m pretty sure using an alias to avoid foia requests is a felony. (Not a lawyer)

Sadly, the rule is, liberals are allowed to say and do whatever they want, to use aliases, to say and do anything, and will not be held to account for their actions.

As we see with Hillary, even with specific legal violations, not just talk of unethical behavior, nothing happened to her.

These are not fake emails. They are real emails, sent and received using an alias. Can this possibly be legal?

So these Democrats were using other names to hide their criminal activities?

The Democrat Party has sold out The United States of America.

Deliberately obfuscating communications, for the purpose of evading foia requests, should be a punishable offense.

A perfect example of a criminal using an alias.

Well now, you know that no reasonable prosecutor would ever consider taking that case to court.

It's good to be king a democrat.

The issue is not with having multiple accounts. It is with hiding, deleting, or not turning over emails from the other account.

Wow the author is citing Eric “Fast and Furious” Holder as the preferred standard for legal behavior as the AG......not a good idea.

If the law does not cover this, then Congress needs to step in.

Using an alias to conduct govt business is a felony.

Using a non-gov email account to conduct govt business makes the non-gov email account subject to FOIA rules. Not just the ones they want us to see, ALL OF THEM!

So if you conduct govt business from a personal email account, the govt now owns that account. If you dont want your personal dirty laundry aired out in public, keep your personal and business separate.

Eliminate the Hillary rule where she only turned over the ones she wanted us to see.

Laz A Mataz is now qualified to work in the DOJ.

We all know that is a fake name intended to hide his real name: Lazamataz.

And just yesterday I took Zat Amaz Al for just another Arab. Now I’m getting suspicious.

Sounds like obstruction of justice to me-with intent.

It’s become common practice it seems. I recall IRS leaders doing the same, and the Clintons. Probably across all corrupt departments. If the people tried this we’d be hammered.
