Washington (CNN)Hillary Clinton did not have a State Department email account while she served as America's top diplomat, a senior state department official said Monday, and instead used a personal email account during her four years on the job.
The New York Times first reported Clinton's exclusive use of a personal email account on Monday night.
Hillary Rodham Clinton exclusively used a personal email account to conduct government business as secretary of state, State Department officials said, and may have violated federal requirements that officials’ correspondence be retained as part of the agency’s record.
Mrs. Clinton did not have a government email address during her four-year tenure at the State Department. Her aides took no actions to have her personal emails preserved on department servers at the time, as required by the Federal Records Act.

Wow. She created a private domain to house her email on the first day of her confirmation hearings in 2009, and never had an official federal email account.
How is it that nobody at the federal level thought to ask why everything that went to Clinton was off the books?
Just so we're clear, the Secretary of State hardly needs an official email address (and especially doesn't need to cull out all the spam, viruses, and other junk). He or she has plenty of aides to handle correspondence.
That being said, doing government business from a personal email account is a definite no-no.
I hope who ever this matters to investigates her to the fullest. I wish them all the best in their investigations and hearings.
I hope she is released from prison in time to take the oath of office...If not She will be the first President in US history to have her swearing in... in prison.

Well, if she had no official government email address and, instead, used a personal email account this should make finding all those "secret emails" about Benghazi easy to find, don't you think? :wink:
Hilary Clinton stepped down from Secretary of State in 2013. The Federal Records Act amendment that requires personal emails to be preserved on department servers did not become law until late November 2014...
Not what I'm saying....In that case, she did nothing wrong and should be praised.
<sarcasm off>

Then why was she conducting business with a private email? Your logic would lead to the conclusion that no email address was necessary. Private or Govt. And it's not only a no-no, it's illegal.
Why are you asking me? I certainly don't believe that any email address was necessary: for her job. She would still have every right to use email as a private citizen for personal business, however.
From my understanding the "Federal Records Act" (AKA, 44 U.S.C. Chapter 33) was updated by this Act which was signed in 2014.Uhm, no. You're talking about the Presidential and Federal Records Acountability Act of 2014 which allowed a a means to disicipline those that broke the Federal Records Act.
From what I read, no such action took place.Under Bill Clinton, emails became federal records meant to be archived in accordance with the Federal records act of 1950.
