Following an Associated Press report that Obama administration appointees have "secret government email accounts," White House Press Secretary Jay Carney argued Tuesday that the accounts aren´t secret and, in fact, prior administrations have followed the practice of appointees having second government accounts. "Having alternate email addresses for cabinet secretaries and other high-profile officials makes eminent sense. If they are inundated in one account with either public emails, or spam or the like, then they can continue to use their

...The AP reviewed hundreds of pages of government emails released under the federal open records law and couldnt independently find instances when material from any of the secret accounts it identified was turned over.
Congressional oversight committees told the AP they were unfamiliar with the few nonpublic government addresses that AP identified so far..
If they are not secret then that means all of these “alternate” emails are being collected and archived and managed just like all government emails, right Carney?
If they are not secret then any request for emails by Congress should also include “alternate” emails, right Carney?
If he can’t answer yes to these questions and provide the “alternate” email addresses then they ARE secret email addresses
This smarmy bastard Carney should be tarred and feathered and run out of Washington on a rail. I could name many many others who should be treated the same way.
LOL. . even better!!
He should have got hired by Isuzu to make “Isuzu Joe” commercials. By starting off “ I guarandamtee you infidels that . . . “
I have no profanity adequate to respond.
I bet their gmail, yahoo and outlook accounts would be REAL interesting. Imagine what. Goes on there to keep it away from the meddlesome public.
This has been a method used especially at the EPA (and quite likely other agencies, we will learn of shortly) where laws have been broken and people have avoided scrutiny.
I would like to see a special counsel appointed to look into this across all federal agencies. Not so much for having an alternate email address, but for having a system where when a FOIA or court ordered discovery filing it made, the agency IT department is left clueless as to what if any email accounts to search.
LOL
Carney is becoming Baghdad Bob. He just needs the uniform.
Lots of people maintain "altternate email addresses".
"Richard Windsor" is not an "alternate email address". It's not an email address at all. It's a fake identity.
Here we go again with what the definition of “is” is.
Should have read down as you beat me to it.
How does Carney explain demanding payment from AP to get the super duper secret alternate email address?
Love your post #32!

I want to see Carney’s birth certificate.
He is at 50% with the same retarded voters he always had. The ones on welfare and in the trade and government unions. They don’t give a crap. they are already serfs.
