Getting Around The Official White House E-Mail Server......
I'm in Columbus, Ohio today and was listening to WOSU radio. They play some NPR radio pieces also.

Well today they had a piece on 'the WH e-mail server' and how those in the WH are getting around it so that it doesn't become part of permanent record.

They made a real big deal about it. They even interviewed a women that works or worked for the National Archives.

They made it seem like this whole issue is coming to a head and that it could be the next * scandal. This could be the big one that finally sinks these criminals.

How long before a piece like this on NPR/WOSU begins to hit MSM?

Did anybody hear this piece?

1. I think Waxman is preparing to investigate.
I didn't hear the show but it needs to be a HUGE deal. Something has to bring down this secretive, corrupt administration. And the use of non-official email servers for official government business is, I believe, against the law.

4. all that is true, their 'excuse' is that they can't do political work on WH time
hence they use the RNC accounts to stay within the Hatch Act.

but they are hoist by their own petards methinks. if the USA firings weren't 'political' then why are they using their 'political' email accounts??

it's gonna getting interesting real soon I think :evilgrin:

7. That's it in a nutshell, yes.
Small wonder Sampson says the division between the two is "largely artificial".

5. It's an easy one for people to understand....
You accept my tax dollars as salary, then you use the email system that I'm paying for as well. If you can't do this, then you're abusing my trust and you need to go.
