You said that she wouldn't need one for official business (aides and all that). She obviously did, just wanted it off the books.
Is it my imagination, or does it seem like since Obama took office that democrats have acted like the rules no longer apply to them? They seem to defy the law at will and don't give a damn who knows.
From my understanding the "Federal Records Act" (AKA, 44 U.S.C. Chapter 33) was updated by this Act which was signed in 2014.
I am talking about that act. But this is the provision im talking to:"It also requires official government business done via personal email to be forwarded to an official government records system." House passes bills on IG audits, presidential records | TheHill
From what I read, no such action took place.
"On November 26, 2014, President Obama signed into law the Presidential and Federal Records Act Amendments of 2014. This new law modernizes records management by focusing on electronic records, and complements efforts by the US National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) and the Office of Management and Budget to implement the President’s 2011 Memorandum on Managing Government Records. Major updates to the Presidential and Federal Records Acts include:
Strengthening the Federal Records Act by expanding the definition of Federal records to clearly include electronic records. This is the first change to the definition of a Federal record since the enactment of the act in 1950."
National Archives Welcomes Presidential and Federal Records Act Amendments of 2014
Can you point to this amendment Bill Clinton signed into law?
Possibly, but I'm not going to say she was trying to do official business of the books until I know what she said when, and to whom.
First answer this....why all the hubbub about Lois Lerner's emails being lost...in 2013?
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...
You said that she wouldn't need one for official business (aides and all that). She obviously did, just wanted it off the books.
which is why she released 55,000 pages of emails upon request.
There's a good reason that's not sufficient. Preserved by the government, ALL emails are preserved and available for subpoena. Preserved by the individual, good chance editing and deletion is involved.
Btw, 55K pages isn't the large number of emails you would think. They print them out on paper with includes attachments in hex code. Insert a small image in an email and do a print and you get all the header text, the auth strings and a hundred pages of hex for the image.
This is a practice that was going on under the Bush Administration as well. This is a systemic problem and it is unacceptable it has been going on this long.
Lol...
Name the Bush appointee that purposefully used a private Email account so he or she could stay under the radar.
This is just more corrupt , low life Democrat obstruction.
If you would answer my question I would appreciate it. And because specific e-mails were pertinent to a congressional investigation, and also because it was from the official IRS e-mails and not from a personal email.
But can you point to this amendment Bill Clinton signed into law?
The Act defines a federal record without respect to format. Records include all books, papers, maps, photographs, machine-readable materials, or other documentary materials, regardless of physical form or characteristics, made or received by an agency of the government under federal law or in connection with the transaction of public business and preserved or appropriate for preservation by that agency as evidence of the organization, functions, policies, decisions, procedures, operations, or other activities of the government or because of the informational value of data in them.
First, here's the Federal Records act of 1950....this describes what must be recorded.
I'm sorry, but it takes a special kind of moron to not know that you should not be corresponding by email on behalf of the United States of America from a ****ing personal email account.
See post #42Nope. Not true. The 1950 Act still requires that they be preserved.
Here is the definition original definition:
"As used in this chapter, ‘records’ includes all books, papers,
maps, photographs, machine readable materials, or other documentary
materials, regardless of physical form or characteristics, made
or received by an agency of the United States Government under
Federal law or in connection with the transaction of public business
and preserved or appropriate for preservation by that agency or its
legitimate successor as evidence of the organization, functions, policies,
decisions, procedures, operations, or other activities of the
Government or because of the informational value of data in them.
Library and museum material made or acquired and preserved
solely for reference or exhibition purposes, extra copies of documents
preserved only for convenience of reference, and stocks of
publications and of processed documents are not included."
See post #42
Actually when she was in office, you legally could.
Clinton had no official State Dept. email address - CNN.com

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?
Who is reviewing them?Ruh-roh. It's not THAT big a deal, really, since her emails are all on a domain, which are being reviewed for retention with federal records. But it plays into the shady image that surfaced with that box of missing billing records years ago. Still, maybe she didn't know. It's a recent law. Someone at the State's office should have told her and set her up on a govt email account automatically. The fact that an email address for her at the State agency didn't even exist means that that didn't happen. Who knows? But the emails are being reviewed (which creates a lot of work for the minions!) and transferred over.
