...I watched a White House routine briefing. The questions about former Secretary Clinton were completely out of line. Some idiot journalist wants to put an independent party in the Clinton's home to review all the emails on her private server to see IF SHE CHEATED in handing in the emails to the State Department.
The Press Secretary clearly stated, "Secretary Clinton and her team." The entire issue so blown out of proportion.
The server doesn't belong to anyone other than the Clinton Foundation. There is absolutely no reason to propose an invasion of privacy into the Clinton's home to state clearly that the USA doesn't trust a woman dedicated to this country all her life. Wow. There is no dignity in the press. I would expect the former Secretary might invite a journalist into her home to watch her bake cookies to solve a political hurdle, but, to POLICE their computer server? I don't think so. I am sure President Obama won't ask for that degrees of policing.
The fact is the 2009 law required the agencies to submit all their documents to the archives. The 2014 law requires the use of government emails. The former Secretary wasn't in office in 2014.
I have my doubts about the constitutionality of the 2014 law because there are going to be times when a cabinet Secretary is traveling and has to accommodate communication as it can be maintained, they cannot be held responsible for communication outside the government computer system.
It's probably a government satellite, but, there has to be some allowances for communication other than that satellite if necessary. The cabinet should not have their hands tied because there is problems with the satellite. It isn't completely workable. But, the 2014 laws doesn't apply to these circumstances with Hillary Clinton.
I wonder if the 2014 law actually impinges on Executive Privilege. Bob Woodward didn't feel comfortable with the law(s). That was my first instinct. There is something wrong there and I think it relates to separation of powers and Executive Priviledge.
