CTR TAKES THE RNC BACK TO SCHOOL
RNC CLAIM #1: Unlike other Secretaries of State, Hillary became Secretary in 2009. The same year that National Archives and Records Administration issued new regulations requiring records not sent on an agencys system be turned over to the agency for record keeping.
FACTS: Despite the RNCs misleading claims, new records-retention regulations werent fully implemented by [the State Department] until a year and a half after Clinton left State. Clinton is the first Secretary in history to ask for her work emails to be released publicly. [Daily Beast, 3/3/15] ..............

(22,308 posts)The problem is that Hillary's trustworthy numbers are so bad that when she (or a spokesperson) tries to correct the record a majority of people do not believe it.

But liberals fought hard for the Freedom of Information Act, and if there's a reason that Hillary had to run her own private server that is more convincing than she intended to thwart FOIA, I'd like to hear it. Nothing they've said so far passes muster. And the careful positioning coming out that the investigation is into "Hillary's conduct, not Hillary herself," well that's just insulting really.
But even past that, today's news coming out of the UK (because the US media has apparently recused itself from breaking this kind of news) that Hillary used Platte River Networks for her server (who apparently illegally accessed the master database for all US phone numbers) doesn't help where trusting Hillary is concerned.
I know this much: I wouldn't want to have Correct the Record's job right now.
