Obama administration may have a fourth big scandal
American Thinker ^ | June 4, 2013 | Thomas Lifson

The Associated Press has uncovered what may become a vast new scandal for the Obama administration: the possibly widespread use of covert email accounts by political appointees, enabling evasion of sunshine laws designed to protect the public. Jack Gillium of AP reports:

Some of President Barack 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.

This looks very bad indeed. Former EPA administrator Lisa Jackson has already lost her hob owing to her use of the pseudonym "Richard Windsor" in correspondence with both agency officials and outsiders, including environmental activists. These communications ought to be available through Freedom of Information Act requests, but the use of a covert email account circumvents FOIA search requests.

Don’t forget the Islamic/Muslim Brotherhood infiltration into all levels of our government starting at the top.

Thanks for the ping.

Good backup/background info.

Wonder when Carney will come out and say, “We only learned about these ‘alias’ email accounts when Lisa Jackson testified. The President won’t know until after he reads tomorrow’s newspaper.” ?

All these false names/alias emails sure explains the troll-storms we have here from time to time.
