In reply to the discussion: Yet Another Bulls*** Clinton “Story”. We have become even dumber than we were in the 90’s. [View all]MADem
(135,425 posts)61. Oh please. The boss can ignore a "warning" written by another "boss."
This story has gone from:
She broke the LAW!!!!!!
to
She violated a REGULATION!!!!!
to
She broke a RULE!!!!!!!!!!
to
She ignored a WARNING!!!!!!!
to
She disregarded a POLICY that was written by a PREDECESSOR!!!!!
Here's what the archivist of the United States has to say about the CRIMES OF HILLARY CLINTON:
...assertions from the New York Times and others that different records rules applied to Clinton than to her predecessors is wrong, since the National Archives and Records Administration did not issue guidance updating its rules until fall 2013, months after she left office. The same rules applied to Clinton as had applied to Powell.
While NARAs preference is that officials not use an e-mail alias, Archivist of the United States David Ferriero said in sworn testimony in 2013 that nothing in the law that prohibits them.
We dont care how many accounts you have as long as those on which youre doing federal business are captured for the record, he also said.
Responding to a department request for documents from recent secretaries of state, Clintons team provided over 55,000 pages of e-mails, which the Clinton aide said included anything that pertained to her work there. Personal conversations such as e-mails with her daughter Chelsea about flower arrangements for her 2010 wedding were not included. But any correspondence with the 100 State Department officials with whom she regularly corresponded would have already been stored on the departments servers and Clintons office made sure to replicate all of those e-mails. In all, 9 out of 10 e-mails that Clinton sent during her time at the State Department went to colleagues there.

The horse is dead. Anyone who keeps beating it is really showing us their backside....
Further, POLITICO (established by Albritton Communications, the same cretins who boycotted Bill Maher for his Nahn - Wun - Wun comments) is hardly friendly to Democrats, ever. They're great fans of the worst case scenario, while faking a nonpartisan POV. Anyone looking can see their wingnut lean at fifty paces.
