Joe Scarborough had it right this morning on "Morning Joe".
With regard to Hillary's emails, her supporters have rallied
quickly to excuse the email thing as a minor issue and blames
the GOP for blood hunting.
Joe's point is spot on. It's not about emails, servers or
how long her personal, private server keeps her emails while
serving as Secretary of State.
She served as SofS from 2009 to 2013. In 2009 federal laws
were changed that mandated that official, government emails
be sent and received (encryted) via a government email address and on
government servers designed to archive and preserve them.
It's the law, not a "preference".
You actually believe Crazy Joe Scarborough? LOL.
Here's the "law" in effect when HRC was Sec of State.
BTW, violating this "law" carries no criminal penalty.
"According to Section 1236.22 of the 2009 NARA requirements, which
Schmidt provided in an email, "Agencies that allow employees to send and
receive official electronic mail messages using a system not operated by
the agency must ensure that Federal records sent or received on such
systems are preserved in the appropriate agency recordkeeping system."
And Hillary did not ensure her official electronic mail messages as SofS
were preserved in the "appropriate agency" (meaning federal) record
keeping system.
She kept them on her own, private server. Only now ... 2 years since
she resigned and the emails have been discovered is she offering her
screened and approved releases to the State Department.
The intent of the law was to make official government related emails
available and preserved on government servers, not her own. Government
officials and employees are supposed to use a government email address
for these correspondences.
First, she tried to claim that if she sent an email from her personal
email server address to a government email address ... it would be
preserved. But that doesn't account for them all.
I suppose to the Clintons it matters what "@" means.
