Republican Senate nominee Joe Miller admitted in 2008 that he lied after being caught using Fairbanks North Star Borough computers for political purposes when he was a part-time borough lawyer.

"I lied about accessing all of the computers. I then admitted about accessing the computers, but lied about what I was doing. Finally, I admitted what I did," Miller wrote in a March 17, 2008, e-mail to Fairbanks North Star Borough Attorney Rene Broker.

Miller's admission said he went on three of his co-workers' computers to participate in a political poll and then cleared the caches. "I now understand that clearing the cache also cleared out passwords and ID's for various websites that people were using and was very hurtful (as was the simple fact that I was on their computers)," he wrote.

"As I told you on Wednesday, I acknowledge that my access to others' computers was wrong, participating in the poll was wrong, lying was wrong, and there is absolutely no excuse for any of it," he wrote.

for those that just wanted to see the 'lie' email.

6. Sounds like he lied about why he took leave under FMLA

Another Democratic law he would probably want to take away from the rest of us. Apparently he told them he was going for some kind of medical situation, and instead was going on an elk hunt with his kid(s)? Also sounds like he tried to delete his emails. Looks like they had a devil of a time recovering and that he was really overly curious about the server, protocals, how files/email was saved & backed up.

Typical slimey Repuke!

Records: Alaska's Miller admits to wrongful computer use, lies
Senate candidate also had dispute about leave that led to resignation

JUNEAU, Alaska — Alaska Republican Senate hopeful Joe Miller admitted to improperly using three co-workers' government computers over a lunch break to access his personal website to participate in a political poll, then cleaning the caches to try to cover up the activities.

Miller's admission and three-day suspension over the event is included in records released Tuesday under court order following an open records request by The Associated Press and other media organizations. The records also show a dispute about leave ahead of his Aug. 28, 2009, resignation.

In a March 2008 statement to Fairbanks North Star Borough Attorney Rene Broker, Miller said he'd lied about accessing all the computers initially when asked and about the reasons why he used them. Clearing the caches also removed passwords and website IDs used by co-workers.

.................

Miller also wrote that he first lied about accessing the computers, then admitted accessing them but lying about what he was doing and then, "Finally, I admitted what I did."

11. More - Mass Delete Emails & Abused Family Leave

The records released Tuesday also show that Miller did a mass deletion of all his borough e-mails before he resigned the job in September of last year. That left the borough scrambling to figure out how to retrieve the public records, some of which dealt with a case Miller worked on regarding property taxes on the trans-Alaska oil pipeline. Dolan wrote the borough attorney on Sept. 9, 2009, saying "I'm confused as to why he would do that."

"Back when we had the other issue with Joe, he had been in my office asking me lots and lots of questions about how the borough's servers work, what back ups we do, what data we store, etc.," Dolan wrote. "He said he wanted to know because he was paranoid about someone hacking into the system and that he needed to know what protections he had."

-----

Broker said she was never able to figure out why Miller did the mass deletion of his e-mail before resigning. "I have asked, through his attorneys, for an explanation. I do not have his side of it; we've been trying to get his side of it," Broker said.

-----

The records also show that Miller left the borough amid a dispute over leave and whether work that he was doing for a private client conflicted with a case the borough wanted him to handle. Broker told the Daily News on Tuesday that Miller requested time off under the Family and Medical Leave Act for an unspecified medical reason.

12. Miller Admitted Lies, Deleted Official Borough E-mails

Source: Anchorage Daily News

Republican U.S. Senate nominee Joe Miller admitted in 2008 that he lied after being caught using Fairbanks North Star Borough computers for political purposes while he was working as a part-time borough lawyer.

"I lied about accessing all of the computers. I then admitted about accessing the computers, but lied about what I was doing. Finally, I admitted what I did," Miller wrote in a March 17, 2008, e-mail to Fairbanks North Star Borough Attorney Rene Broker.

Miller's admission and a disciplinary letter were among his employee records released by the Fairbanks North Star Borough on Tuesday as a result of a lawsuit by media organizations. Miller initially fought release of the documents, but state Superior Court Judge Winston Burbank ordered most of the records sought to be released, and Miller decided not to appeal to the Alaska Supreme Court.

On March 12, 2008, Miller went on three of his co-workers' computers to vote in an online poll, apparently connected with his failed effort to oust Randy Ruedrich as state Republican Party chair. Miller then cleared his colleagues' computer caches to erase his tracks, in the process clearing out their passwords and saved websites.

This, along with Rachel's show yesterday, should do wonders for Scott McAdams' campaign.

13. Why were govt computers unlocked?

Why would their computers be sitting unlocked, and why would they have passwords stored in cache? Those app should have timed out - and everyone should always have to re-enter passwords - especially in a govt building.
