There seems to be a misconception about the whole issue.
I was a federal employee until 2005. I had a .gov email account and, I know this is hard to believe but every few months I'd get a message from Tech Support to delete my old emails to save hard drive space. No one backed them up. They kept them on magnetic tape for 30 days or so and then re-cycled the tapes. As a union official there were some emails that were very useful to us and I saved those to a personal email account that I had set up for just that purpose on Hotmail. I found it enormously amusing that in 2013 when the Lois Lerner case blew up that they were still using the same fucking system 8 years later... which is like a geologic time scale in the computer field.
Now, none of this matters to the FOX FUX because you're right. We'll hear all about Whitewater and blowjobs and Paula Fucking Jones again. The republicunts will do anything they can to avoid talking about how disastrously they fucked this country up the last time they had power.
My problem with the asshole electorate is that they have lousy memories.

Quote:Although the White House has strict requirements dating back two decades that every email must be saved, there is no such requirement for federal agencies. Instead they are in charge of setting their own policies for determining which emails constitute government records worthy of preservation and which ones may be discarded.
Quote:While many agencies’ current practice is to print and file emails deemed worthy of saving, an Obama administration directive in 2012 mandates that agencies must devise a system for retaining and preserving email records electronically by the end of 2016.
Quote:Mr. Obama signed legislation late last year requiring government officials who use personal email addresses for official business to bring those records into the government within 20 days. Before that, the National Archives and Records Administration simply required those messages at some point to be provided to the government.
“The wiggle room for Mrs. Clinton is that those policies didn’t come into play until after she was gone” from the State Department in early 2013, said Thomas S. Blanton, the director of the National Security Archive at George Washington University, an independent, nongovernmental organization focused on transparency.
