Care to reply to any specifics or just repeat the same claim over and over again?That's a whole lot of words.
Nope.. Lets try this again. And if you may, attempt to read the post because its going to be a "whole lot of words".Understand that the 1950 Act applies.
Lets first go to the definition section of the original bill:
There is a reason bills have definition sections.. This is what the term "records" is strictly defined as. The original act would of applied to Hillary is they used the word "records" on the next section of the original bill I'm about to post."As used in this chapter, ‘records’ includes all books, papers, maps, photographs, machine readable materials, or other documentary materials, regardless of physical form or characteristics, made or received by an agency of the United States Government under Federal law or in connection with the transaction of public business and preserved or appropriate for preservation by that agency or its legitimate successor as evidence of the organization, functions, policies, decisions, procedures, operations, or other activities of the Government or because of the informational value of data in them. Library and museum material made or acquired and preserved solely for reference or exhibition purposes, extra copies of documents preserved only for convenience of reference, and stocks of publications and of processed documents are not included."
Original Act:
Nope not emails"When the Archivist considers it to be in the public interest he may accept for deposit- the papers and other historical materials of a President or former President of the United States, or other official or former official of the Government,
More papersand other papers relating to and contemporary with a President or former President of the United States, subject to restrictions agreeable to the Archivist as to their use; and
Nope still not emails(2) documents, including motion-picture films,
Nope not emailsstill pictures, and sound recordings,
Hmmm so under section (2) they can collect all of the listed items, even if they came from a private sources. They listed certain items though. They left out a key several key itmes from the original defintion of "record". Those are the words "other documentary materials, regardless of physical form or characteristics". So no, this power was severly limited, and the orginal 1950 records act did not allow the procession of private emails. It was limited to strict limitations. Its also clear that that my point is true, is because they dont use the word "records", so therfore emails, which would fall under "other documentary materials, regardless of physical form or characteristics", is not covered under the original 1950 records act.from private sources that are appropriate for preservation by the Government as evidence of its organization, functions, policies, decisions, procedures, and transactions."
Hillary should've attended the annual ethics meeting on records that all executive employees are required to attend. She's a lawyer, she's been in government or associated with it for a long time, and she knows. I can't help it if you don't.
Which one exactly?
