President Biden has taken fire this week for reportedly using aliases and "secret" email addresses as vice president in messages to his son Hunter Biden, who had business in Ukraine at the time. Under former President Barack Obama's administration, White House officials defended the use of alternate email addresses.
During a 2013 press briefing, the Obama-Biden White House, amid accusations that individuals within the administration had been using "secret" email addresses for correspondence, highlighted its belief that using "alternate email addresses" for high-ranking officials made "eminent sense."
While fielding questions from reporters at the briefing, Jay Carney, White House press secretary at the time, was asked about a story from The Associated Press that claimed a variety of senior administration officials possessed secret email addresses.
Additionally, Carney was asked by the same reporter what the protocol would be for the administration to release that correspondence via a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, and whether the contents from both email addresses - or just the public one or the "secret" one - would be released should there be a congressional inquiry about a given subject.
"Let's be clear — this is a practice consistent with prior administrations of both parties, and, as the story itself made clear, any FOIA request or congressional inquiry includes a search in all of the email accounts used by any political appointee," Carney responded.
"So the answer is, all of this information is provided. Having alternate email addresses for cabinet secretaries and other high-profile officials makes eminent sense, much as it does for columnists, for example, of major publications who provide email addresses for their readers but have alternate work email addresses so that if they are inundated in one account with either public emails or spam or the like, that they can continue..."

Obama had alternate email addresses that the media made excuses for back then.
And Hillary wasn’t the only one with a private email server, Brak had one too.
Hillary got dumped under the bus to protect Brak.
Does that include sending classified information to your influence-peddling son?
Freud would have had a ball when Hillary slipped up and said, “If Trump is elected, we’ll all hang.”
Trump didnt make it happen.......much to his chagrin.

20 July 2021: JustTheNews: Shades of Clinton: Joe Biden used private email to send government information to Hunter
by John Solomon
A former senior Obama administration official confirmed to Just the News that some administration officials knew of the robinware456@gmail.com email address for Joe Biden and used it from time to time. “I saw it used to communicate with his family and friends or to pass information to them,” the official told Just the News, speaking only on condition of anonymity because of fear of reprisal.
The emails obtained by Just the News show numerous Obama administration officials communicated or were aware of the private email address or had their information sent to it, including current Secretary of State Tony Blinken.
In January 2013, Blinken emailed Joe Biden at his private email recounting a colleague’s conversation about the Pulitzer-winning journalist, author and screenwriter Richard Ben Cramer’s last minutes before dying. At the time, Blinken was Joe Biden’s national security adviser...
On another occasion in June 2014, Hunter Biden suggested someone he wanted to see appointed as a detailee to the Treasury Department. “Before you fill the positions, pls talk to me,” Hunter Biden wrote his father.
The vice president responded, “Call me right away, Dad.”...

All those dems had email addresses that wouldn’t be picked up in a search:
used zeros instead of the letter ‘O’, using the number one instead of ‘I’ or ‘L’ -
intentional to mask their doings.
I realized when I woke up this morning that America is no more.
We are purposely being overrun with permanent welfare recipients, criminals, having our means of defense constantly challenged and we are being pushed to poverty.
It is over.
They are all a bunch of corrupt criminals. This country is done. They have already lowered the USA’s credit rating. It is being destroyed one step at a time.
I worked briefly as an Air Force contractor 2018-2019. I recall receiving an email explaining the necessity of only conducting government business on government accounts, and exceptions, in the Public Records Act. The exceptions were for instances where one party did not have access to their government account and there was urgency to justify using personal emails. But all such emails needed to be copied to the appropriate government accounts.
Big shots, in government and business, never open their own email, or snail mail. They have people to do that.
I’m wondering now if Hussein made the call to stop counting the votes on election night. That came from way up high.
Bingo!!!!! We have a winner!!!
I have thought that for a long time....
I’ve been wondering about that as well…
Pierre Delecto and Carlos Danger have plenty of company. Now joined by JRB Ware.
All the snakes probably have them.
“Hillary got dumped under the bus to protect Brak.”
“Dumped” ... like 30,000 emails ...
HRC and Huma were also let go by Comey’s imaginary “reasonable prosecutor” ... after Lorretta Lynch and BJClinton just happen to park their jets next to each other in >100F AZ and BJ decided to walk over so they could talk about “the ‘bout the grandkids” ... all to protect BHO.
It took awhile, but the truth has emerged.
“I realized when I woke up this morning that America is no more.”
It’s not a good feeling is it.
You can’t really Sell State Secrets to our declared enemies using a Government email address.
Possible.....very possible.
0bama had one himself, to write to Hillary’s private server. David something, as I recall.
