Well, we have a few new bits of news regarding the Clintoon \u201cprivate email\u201d brouhaha.<\/p>\n
So, Clintoon\u2019s lawyers have turned over all her \u201cprivate email\u201d? Well, maybe \u2013 or maybe not. There are gaps totaling roughly 5 months in what was turned over to government authorities by Clintoon\u2019s lawyers<\/a>. Specifically, in what was released by Clintoon’s lawyers there\u2019s roughly 2 months with no email received by Clintoon: 21 January thru 17 March 2009. There\u2019s also a roughly 3 month gap in email sent by Clintoon: 21 Jan thru 17 April 2009 – plus another sent email gap for her last month in office, 30 December 2012 thru 1 Feb 2013.<\/p>\n And then we have this: a senior DoS records management official apparently stated in an email to a colleague that they did not want to discuss certain matters by email, but instead wanted to discuss the matter in person<\/a>. Why? Well here\u2019s one possible reason: as that official knows quite well, email is considered a Federal record \u2013 and can be requested under a FOIA request. Verbal discussions that generate no written records are much easier to hide. (The specific details of what were to be discussed were redacted in the email from the senior DoS records management official that\u00a0was made public. However, since that email was obtained by Judicial Watch in conjunction with the Clintoon private email scandal, it\u2019s reasonable to infer the subject was – or was related to – the Clintoon email matter.)<\/p>\n
