LOCK HER UP! Her EMAILS! That's right, kids, we're talking about Betsy DeVos.



https://www.rawstory.com/2019/05/betsy-devos-used-personal-emails-for-work-violated-regulations-on-preservation-as-her-spokesperson-attacks-the-media/

Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos used four personal email addresses for work-related business and violated government regulations regarding preservation of those documents. DeVos’ spokesperson then blasted the media for reporting the news, as The Hill reports.

“We found a limited number (less than 100) sent or received between January 20, 2017, and April 10, 2018,” the Education Dept.’s Inspector General charges. “Most messages occurred during the first 6 months of 2017 and were from a single writer who was offering advice on potential candidates for Department positions.

The emails “were not always being properly preserved,” to OIG reported. “We did not identify any instances where the secretary forwarded emails from her personal accounts to her department email accounts,” as she should have.

Meanwhile, Education Dept. spokesperson Liz Hill said, “I understand that ‘DeVos + Personal Email’ gets clicks, and attacked “media coverage of the IG report on personal email is the definition of click bait,” which is false.

...so he didn't recommend charges.

With DeVos, yeah...I'd pin it more on stupidity than on premeditated criminal intent.

Lots and lots and lots of stupidity.

The problems are more systemic: she's working for the evil Trump administration, her brother's a mercenary, her husband got rich bilking old ladies with his family's Amway scam, and she's actively attempting to destroy the American educational system.
