When the staff responds to FOIA requests where all the email records of Joe Biden (for instance) are requested, do they gather the emails from all of his aliases? Do they know his emails by his real name and not just the alias?

I could see a fine line if the alias was not able to be successful in hiding emails because staff know to include the alias emails with any request for emails by the person. If the staff doesn’t know the aliases it would be totally different in my view, and a deliberate attempt to obstruct justice if an investigation wasn’t given the records under the alias.

I don't disagree, but even with aliases that the staff is unaware of, some systems administrator has to be able to run reports of all active email IDs on the servers.

It may be a case of having someone create the IDs and then that person is transferred or terminated so nobody knows about them unless they go looking, but at least they are still secured.
