Just another evidence of how widespread the problem really is.
Via Right Scoop:
Hillary Clinton assured us the other day that most of her emails were already archived because she was corresponding with State Dept. employees who have .gov email addresses.
“The vast majority of my work emails went to government employees at their government addresses, which meant they were captured and preserved immediately on the system at the State Department.”
Turns out that’s not true at all:
POLITICO – Hillary Clinton’s explanation for her use of a personal email account while she served as secretary of state suffered another blow Friday as the State Department disclosed that the email accounts of senior department officials were not automatically archived until last month.
Clinton said at a news conference Tuesday that she believed the vast majority of work-related emails she sent or received from her private account were “preserved” because she was in correspondence with other officials using “.gov” accounts.
However, State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki told reporters archiving of the work email boxes of senior State Department officials besides the secretary did not begin until “February of this year.” She previously said Secretary of State John Kerry uses an official account and his emails have been archived since he succeeded Clinton.
