How many emails were in Mrs. Clinton’s account is not clear, and neither is the process her advisers used to determine which ones related to her work at the State Department before turning them over.
This isn’t the first time that government officials using private e-mail accounts has become an issue, of course. Indeed, as the article notes further on, Colin Powell used a private e-mail account nearly exclusively during the time that he was secretary of State, although that was at time before current regulations regarding the use of e-mail by government officials and record retention were put in place. In addition, there have been issues similar to this that have arisen at both the federal and state levels many times over the years, regarding everyone from people in the Chris Christie administration involved in the so-called “Bridgegate” investigation to Sarah Palin. Never before, though, have we seen a case like this where such a high-ranking government official didn’t just use private e-mail occasionally, but used it exclusively for all official correspondence to the point where they didn’t even bother to establish an official government e-mail account. Moreover, and perhaps even more damning, The Washington Post is reporting that the domain that Clinton used for her electronic correspondence while serving as secretary of State was established just one week before President Obama took office, and on the same day that Clinton’s confirmation hearings in the Senate began. That fact alone makes it seems as though Clinton had decided from the start that she would not comply with federal record-keeping laws while serving as secretary of State.
