You. still havent shown that in the law.
It has been shown numerous times.
You. still havent shown that in the law.
No you havent. You just made a claim. I asked you to provide the sources..
No you underlined and bolded 2 words.
Nothing in here.. Pretty much just states, the clinton administration is committed to keeping openness and that all federal agencies need to keep the openness, and then something about speeding up FOI requests..
Again nothing here that backs up your claim. Something about repealing the defense departments 1981 guidelins, doing a review of the FOI process, and addressing teh "backlog" of FOI requets..
Nope still didnt break this act either.
She still didnt violate this... Its the same act you linked above.
This act actually shows she didnt break the law, because the revised portion wasnt passed until she was out of office in 2014, and she left office in 2013. Lets say this bill was enacted before she left office, then yes she would of broke the law. But since this revised bill passed after she left office she didnt break the law.
You're wrong on all if it, of course, specially considering the "and spirit" of her statement. The Federal Records act requires, as I showed you, that she make available all her communications regarding govt business. Conducting federal business on a private email account may or may not be illegal in and of itself, but the simple fact remains....there is no way of ever knowing that she made available all records that are covered under the law of 1950, much less later amendments to it. She certainly hasn't upheld the spirit of the law, and most likely the letter. Now, if any word of what she sent (exclusively) on her private account (and private server) was classified....she's definitely broken the law.
Further, there is no legitimate reason that she did not use a government email address and server for the business of the United States. None.
It has been shown numerous times.
Again no it hasent. The posted the definition of a word, "records". No one has shown where the word "records" has been used in the context of giving the federal government the power of acquisite "records". I repeatedly asked you to show me where, and you have refused to shown.
As has been posted several times, the obligation is Clinton's to provide them.
Then go ahead point to it in the law........
Already done many times by many posters. No longer honoring bad faith requests.
No it has not. Its been pointed to a definition... THAT IS IT. No one has pointed to anything else. Not you (I mean you of course said you were basically too ignorant to understand the law, and then justified that by appealing to authority), not anyone else.
False and unworthy of reply.
Here is the law, it was signed two years after Clinton left her office.
http://blogs.archives.gov/records-express/2014/12/02/h-r-1233-signed-by-president-obama/
On November 26, 2014, President Barack Obama signed into lawH.R. 1233, The Presidential and Federal Records Act Amendments of 2014. This law modernizes records management by focusing more directly on electronic records and complements our efforts to implement the President’s 2011 Memorandum on Managing Government Records. The law also represents the first significant changes to the Federal Records Act of 1950. The major points of this legislation are as follows:
Passage and enactment of this law marks a significant moment in the history of Federal Records Management. We are in the process of reviewing our existing regulations in light of these new provisions and will have much more to say about changes to our regulations and policies in the future.
- Strengthening the Federal Records Act by expanding the definition of Federal records to clearly include electronic records.
- Confirming that Federal electronic records will be transferred to the National Archives in electronic form.
- Granting the Archivist of the United States final determination as to what constitutes a Federal record.
- Authorizing the early transfer of permanent electronic Federal and Presidential records to the National Archives, while legal custody remains with the agency or the President.
- Clarifying the responsibilities of Federal government officials when using non-government email systems.
For additional information, please see the press release that was issued yesterday. Stay tuned to the blog for further updates. Do not hesitate to leave a comment if you have a question and we will do our best to respond.
And how do they know she was conducting Federal business if they haven't seen the emails?
Whether it was in her house or at a huge private data farm, " what difference does it make " ?
sloppy reporting makes a difference.
No you havent. You posted something without explaining how it, and where it states what you are claiming. Instead you just post documents and say "told you so". Did you even read them?

I'm not hung up. The law requires chain of custody, no federal data on private systems, no classified data on an private network, in depth system logging, federal archive of all official communications, and I could go on, data transparency (no hiding data), no destruction of federal data. She broke all of those by putting state department emails on a private server.
The relevant part of the Federal Records Act has been posted several times.
Clinton private email violated 'clear-cut' State Dept. rules - Josh Gerstein - POLITICO
"The State Department has had a policy in place since 2005 to warn officials against routine use of personal email accounts for government work, a regulation in force during Hillary Clinton’s tenure as secretary of state that appears to be at odds with her reliance on a private email for agency business, POLITICO has learned.
The policy, detailed in a manual for agency employees, adds clarity to an issue at the center of a growing controversy over Clinton’s reliance on a private email account. Aides to Clinton, as well as State Department officials, have suggested that she did nothing inappropriate because of fuzzy guidelines and lack of specific rules on when and how official documents had to be preserved during her years as Secretary of State.
But the 2005 policy was described as one of several “clear cut” directives the agency’s own inspector general relied on to criticize the conduct of a U.S. ambassador who in 2012 was faulted for using email outside of the department’s official system. . . ."
The 2014 change added clarifications, but electronic records are still records covered under the FRA, hence all of the communications and regulations throughout the 1990s and 2000s reminding Federal officers & employees that email is not different than a paper memo.
Don't forget, the Ambassedor from Kenya was asked to resign, by Sec State Clinton in 2012, for using a private email for official business. You can read the scathing memo that speaks to his lack of leadership and ability to follow federal regulations and State Department direction here: http://oig.state.gov/system/files/196460.pdf
