State Department challenges Clinton claim that emails to officials ‘immediately’ saved

A State Department spokeswoman said Friday that the department did not start automatically archiving emails from senior officials until February of this year — raising questions about Hillary Clinton’s claim that her emails were “immediately” saved whenever she corresponded with colleagues.
The former secretary of state made that assertion during her press conference earlier this week — and in a lengthy statement put out by her office — as she defended her exclusive use of personal email. Clinton downplayed concerns that official emails could have been lost by suggesting anytime she emailed anyone with a “.gov” address, that email would be stored for posterity.
“The vast majority of my work emails went to government employees at their government addresses, which meant they were captured and preserved immediately on the system at the State Department,” she said Tuesday.
But department spokeswoman Jen Psaki made clear on Friday that this was not the way the system worked.
She said the department only started automatically archiving emails for other senior officials in February.
“They have long been planning to do this. It’s just something that it took some time to put in place,” Psaki said, adding that they’ll “continue to … take steps forward.”

no one cares.
I care.
I am hoping Hillary will be the Dumbocratic candidate. She and Bill have so many skeletons in the closet that even the left leaning “mainstream media” won’t be able to ignor what a bad candidate she really is…
The independents are finally waking up after the last 6 miserable years under Obama. They will decide who the next President will be.
A nasty cockroach….read M Dowd today.
The pantsuit President.
I care. On one hand, I think she would be better than Obama, only because her politics seem somewhat to the right of his. I don’t really detect a sense of her pushing for economic redistribution. However, even before this latest issue, she simply comes across as arrogant, diva-ish, and a basic sense of entitlement. I can see the appeal. There’s a strong call for a first female President, and women will feel the urge to support her. People also see her as a return to brand-Clinton, seeing her husband’s Presidency as a time of prosperity.
I think if she is able to shake this latest issue off over the next few weeks, she is a huge favorite to be both the nominee and also the next President. Maybe with both Houses of Congress in the hands of the GOP, it might be okay. After all, that’s the combination her husband had.
