GWB Scandal. Were Private E-Mail Systems Used?

I reflect back to the whole Sarah Palin e-mail issues years back, where many government e-mails were sent using non-governmental accounts, which I believe had violated some kind of Alaskan rule.

I'm seeing what appears to be private e-mail accounts being used.

Is that true or am I missing something?

They ran a whole separate email system for their nefarious plots.

Seems kina standard among government criminals these days.

5. OK, so I guess we can just request the NSA to provide all the email, correct?
