  • Let’s Get You Up To Speed On The Hillary Clinton Email Drama

    Seems American politicians in the Clinton family can’t keep out of trouble. This time around it’s Hillary and it’s all because of her emails during her tenure as Secretary of State.

    What did she do wrong? Well, she should have been using a government email account and instead used a private email account and, according to the AP, she also “used her own email servers, rather than a third-party provider like Gmail or Yahoo Mail”.

    What’s so problematic about all this?

    [It has] raised questions about whether Clinton was making a deliberate attempt to prevent her messages from being disclosed by open records requests or subpoenas… Federal regulations are meant to prevent a situation in which officials, by keeping emails “off the record,” could thwart information requests made by the public or the government.

    Sneaky, sneaky, Hillary, but have you broken the law?

    The Federal Records Act—passed in November, after Clinton left the State Department—requires government officials’ emails that are sent from personal account to be forwarded to an official account within 20 days. But during Clinton’s tenure, it was never explicitly required that top-level officials like Clinton use government-issued accounts.

    According to her people, she has “followed both ‘letter and spirit of the rules'”, but it still raises the eyebrows of opposition and other candidates. She handed 50 000 pages worth of emails to the State Department once the Federal Records Act was passed. Who knows if those were all the emails, though.

    Seems she is technically out of the woods.

    In case you were wondering, one of her email addresses was a simple hrd22@clintonemail.com. Maybe pop her an email?
