    Report: Ash Carter used personal email for some government business.....

    The use of personal email to conduct government business has yet another Obama administration official making headlines. The New York Times reported that Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter did so for part of his official work in the first months after taking on his duties. The newspaper said it has obtained copies of Carter's emails.

    The Defense Secretary reportedly kept using private email after news about Hillary Clinton's use of a personal email server during her service as Secretary of State triggered attacks by Republican lawmakers.

    They have alleged that the administration has not handled government information with care. Both Clinton and Carter have said they have not put sensitive information in jeopardy.

    Carter believes that his use of personal email occasionally for work "was a mistake," Pentagon spokesman Cook said. "As a result, he stopped such use of his personal email and further limited his use of email altogether.".....snip~

    http://www.cnn.com/2015/12/17/politics/ash-carter-personal-email/index.html


    Another doing the same thing that Hillary did. Like Hillary he says he don't think he has put out any sensitive info. Of course with Hillary.....now it has been proven she lied about putting out sensitive material. This is how inept those Democrats are.

    Naturally CNN tried to give some cover saying that her use of her private server did not break State Rules. Yet CNN forgets that Judge Sullivan stated the Employee - Hillary.....broke government policy. Seems he don't think much of the State Depts lame excuse. CNN even attaches a link where BO peep says her use of private emails didn't affect national Security. Of course CNN didn't want to mention that BO peep said the same thing over Petraeus. Note how the Peep was wrong on that account. Like with most anything else this Mope thinks of.

    Quite amazing Carter would do this knowing about the coverage and the FBI catching Cheryl Mills sending 2 classified emails to the Clinton Foundation. What say ye?

    Yeah, Petraeus should be taking the Peep back into court and he should be as vocal as possible with Hillary and calling her out Daily.

    But then the Peep probably still has something hanging over his head should he start getting vocal.

    They can contact all their personal stuff with their personal account, they can all contact their personal stuff with their government account but they CANNOT all use their personal accounts to do government business. If they do that, my hope is they get charged, convicted and get jail time. So no, we cannot move on.

    Then be prepared to empty out San Quentin to make room..............lots & lots of room.

    The problem that so many people have (on all political sides) is that they think & expect that some of the established rules (by the mere fact that they exist) are also at the same time adhered to. They are not.

    And like children disappointed on Christmas morning when there is no Pony under the tree - they freak out when they find out that some of these "rules" are bent.

    I have news for you, they are bent by a lot of people almost all the time. That's what made the Hillary email issue a farce and a non-scandal.

    It's literally impossible to expect that every employee in the government at every branch of government will follow all of these rules just as it's insane to think the government is going to spend millions of dollars prosecuting all of the people that break them on a daily basis.

    Seriously, you guys need to let go of so many things your angry about because in the "real world" they don't amount to a spec of dust on an ants back.

    You know why you see so many of these kinds of stories and why your going to keep seeing them....because almost exclusively all government employees instinctively keep operating the way they did in previous positions before they get security clearance's and go through new training to cover all the new ITAR rules & such.................ASK ME HOW I KNOW???

    And yes I would say all the same things if these were reports of conservatives under a conservative president breaking these rules............

    This is called getting into the "weeds", and it's ridiculous.

    You know, if they were smart they would use those personal email servers to propagate false intelligence information to our enemies.

    Now if only the government were that smart.

    This is a non-story and deliberately "revealed" to try to dilute the focus on Hillary Clinton and to claim lots of people did it.

    What a terrible accusation. Name calling makes you no better. Matter a fact, if true, that puts you right there with Trump.

    I would be a trivial matter if hillary wasnt endangering US national security, and then lying about it.

    You know, like when she endangered a US Ambassador and his staff, and then lied about it...

    Its really a pattern of incompetence, and lies.

    I dont blame the American people for not trusting a liar.

    most republicans and democrats have used personal email for gov business.....

    so embarrassing

    "Palin used six email accounts as governor"

    http://sunlightfoundation.com/blog/2...overnor-palin/

    "The just-released emails include messages to and from Palin’s gov.sarah and gov.palin Yahoo accounts. Though, according to the Los Angeles Times, they were included only when a recipient or sender was using official state email. Any email about state business for which both parties were using private addresses is missing from the emails the state released. Emails sent to private accounts often dealt with state business, the released records show, in contravention of Spencer’s request to keep state business on a state address."

    Not trivial, a serious breach of Nat. Security. (China, etc. is listening)

    Well past time to hold Govt. Officials accountable for their actions.

    Patraeus was held accountable....is HRC, and A. Carter above the Law???

    Great minds think alike! (I had posted mine before reading yours...not sure how they became one post though.)

    Yes so embarrassing after Hillary was caught. Yet, despite Carter saying he shouldn't have. He did.

    And the hits just keep coming to the low-talent semi-retired pResident

    DHS Rejects Obama’s Latest Gun Control Proposal

    That's gonna leave a mark!

    “I believe it would be apples and oranges,” Alan Bersin, assistant secretary for international affairs at DHS, told the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee on Thursday.

    http://gop.com/dhs-official-dont-believe-it-would-be-proper-to-use-watch-list-to-ban-guns/

    The crooked washed-up old Hillary is using the idea to try to rally her listless base.

    Politicians going to jail! Where can I buy tickets!?

    It's a security breach, it endangers our country, it provides our known and unknown enemies with inside information hacked from their private accounts. It's dangerous, it's insane, and it has to be stopped.


    As usual, the actual offense is not what get's people in trouble, it's the lies and attempts to cover it up - Hillary is a habitual liar as is her husband. Ask General Petraeus how much of a non-scandal it is... :roflol:

    - - - Updated - - -

    There is absolutely zero alarmist about anything I've said, but you already know that.

    Are you claiming that they all do government business with their personal devices? And if so, you have o problem with that?
