Johnson: Mueller email dispute may require change to the law

http://www.cnn.com/2017/12/18/politics/johnson-gowdy-mueller-email-dispute/index.html

Sen. Ron Johnson, the chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, told CNN he may seek to change federal law after concerns were by raised by Trump lawyers that special counsel Robert Mueller had improperly gained access to thousands of transition emails.

Johnson told CNN that he thinks there needs to be a change to the law to say that those transition emails, administered by the General Services Administration, are not the property of the federal government.

"We're going to have to potentially update the laws ... to make it very clear that even though this is housed at GSA, this is not government property," said the Wisconsin Republican, who planned to write a letter to GSA to get more clarity on what happened. "I think those are some legitimate issues they raised."

Fwiw, Hillary didn't store personal emails with the GSA. Of course. She deleted the personal stuff the same as the rest of us do, and state department business was stored in the state department's own records.

If it is housed at the GSA then it is in fact government property. The more important question is this-In what fucking world would a guy who ran as a "servant of the people" even imagine that e-mails payed for, every nickle and dime, by taxpayers owes a privacy right to assholes not EVEN in office yet?
