Emailgate: How media mistakes created Hillary Clinton's fake, fake identity

25. That's because the Archivist of the United States has said "This was a bullshit story."

If they keep screeching "Oh, the Huge Manatee" over what, at the end of the day, was NOTHING, they'll reveal their bias for just what it is.

...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 NARA’s 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 don’t care how many accounts you have as long as those on which you’re doing federal business are captured for the record,” he also said.

Responding to a department request for documents from recent secretaries of state, Clinton’s 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 department’s servers and Clinton’s 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.

"Recent secretaries..." -- funny how CLINTON is the only one of the "recent secretaries" catching heat, here. As Gomer says, sur-prize, sur-prize.

It's getting a little OLD, IMO, this relentless invention of poutrages. And the people who keep pounding that old drum are doing nothing but showing their own hands.
