It answers a lot of questions brought up earlier.
for example:
Why did Clinton use her own email account?
When Clinton got to the Department, she opted to use her personal email account as a matter of convenience. It enabled her to reach people quickly and keep in regular touch with her family and friends more easily given her travel schedule.
That is the only reason she used her own account.
Her usage was widely known to the over 100 State Department and U.S. government colleagues she emailed, consistent with the practice of prior Secretaries of State and permitted at the time.
As Clinton has said, in hindsight, it would have been better to just have two accounts. While she thought using one account would be easier, obviously, that has not been the case.
Was it allowed?
Yes. The laws, regulations, and State Department policy in place during her tenure permitted her to use a non-government email for work. |
I read the article that you referenced. And as you said, it clearly states that employees of the government were allowed to use there personal email accounts at work, provided that no classified information was sent or received on their personal accounts and that any emails send or received had to be sent on a system which allowed archival of those documents for public record.
Unfortunately, at least 32,000 of Hillary's deleted documents did not meet a least one of those requirements (no archival for public record)) and possibly both (the classification of the content). We will never know since they were conveniently deleted and only have her word that none of them were classified. With her track record of lying, I am suspect.
