I bet they emails Lorreta Lynch on her multiple acocounts. Muh Federal Records Act matters!

Two Democratic senators requested Tuesday that the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Office of Inspector General investigate reports that Administrator Scott Pruitt uses multiple email accounts to conduct business.

Sen. Tom Carper (D-Del.), the ranking member of the Environment and Public Works Committee, and Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.), who also sits on the committee, asked for an investigation into Pruitt's use of three "secret" epa.gov email addresses in addition to his public government-issued address, warning that their use may not be in compliance with the Federal Records Act.

Well we know from past officials that it may be careless,
but it's not a crime.

This is the kind of bullshite that is pissing me off about Trump though. You know these motherfrickers are watching yall like a hawk, why the frick are we seeing all these controversies, are you stupid? And no, a government employee should not be using ANYTHING other than their official .gov email address for ANY government related emails. That should be fricking common sense.

I agree. I'm 100% MAGA and think his senior officials need to knock this off. Pruitt is a mess. Hopefully once the deputy for EPA is appointed, he'll resign or be fired.

Every EPA admin has multiple epa.gov address... Can you imagine trying to conduct business with a single public email address?! The public account is flooded daily with nonsense. The Admin can have as many epa.gov addresses as necessary, as long as proper record retention policies are applied.

This doesn't even make sense. Email has filters for a reason. and the article refers to "secret email addresses other than his official .gov addresses" if this son of a bitch is conducting government business on a non .gov email address he needs to be gone.

Are you fricking kidding?

Not only did Lynch do this, but Obama's EPS chief did the same thing and the Dems did not give a water shite about that.

I don't care if it makes sense to you. I'm telling you how it is handled at the highest levels of government.

That' s the question. IS he using non .gov email addresses for business. AND comparing what you do to what government employees do is false because you are not subject to FOIA requests.

Further a man who shouted "lock her up" for 6 months over government emails ought make sure his administration has no email controversies whatsoever.

It's time to drop the hammer on this stuff. Our govt has been using such tactics to get around FOIA.

Is no one picking up on this?

Aside from 'draconian' punishment, I'm not sure how to fix this type of corruption. But it must get fixed, for sure.
