United States News Title: WIKILEAKS - [atty Erika Rottenberg] none of my friends circle can understand how it was viewed as ok/secure/appropriate to use a private server WIKILEAKS - [atty Erika Rottenberg] none of my friends circle can understand how it was viewed as ok/secure/appropriate to use a private server https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/4099 Fwd: Tomorrow From:lroitman@hillaryclinton.com Subject: Fwd: Tomorrow Begin forwarded message: *From:* Erika Rottenberg *Date:* June 21, 2015 at 9:20:19 PM PDT *Subject:* *Tomorrow* Hi Ann and Stephanie -- Looking forward to our discussion tomorrow night. I suspect it will be broad ranging. Few things: 2. I plan to do an intro and Jeff will close with a very brief how to get involved. I'll then close with a special toast and treat. I have not reached out to John - -please let me know if you think I should. Couple of questions that came in: *For my question*, it's basically some variation of [not quite phrased right yet]: I know when I talk to my friends who are attorneys we are all struggling with what happened to the emails and aren't satisfied with answers to date. While we all know of the occasional use of personal email addresses for business, none of my friends circle can understand how it was viewed as ok/secure/appropriate to use a private server for secure documents AND why further Hillary took it upon herself to review them and delete documents without providing anyone outside her circle a chance to weigh in. It smacks of acting above the law and it smacks of the type of thing I've either gotten discovery sanctions for, fired people for, etc. 2) someone wants to ask a very specific question about updating export control laws - and why they've haven't been updated since (??) as they prevent american businesses selling abroad (she's GC of a consumer drone company). Going to the 20,000 foot level, you'lll do well to talk about needing to ensure regulation that's designed to protect consumers - yet not so much that it prevents innovation, like what happens here in SV, which has been the economic bright spot of our economy. The goverenment of the 21st century will need to be more nimble, and quicker to respond to rapidly changing busiensses, yet also ensure that it's not rash, and it regulates for not just for today but the future. too 3) we'll see whether asked - but I would suspect something on the balance of 4th amendment and cyber - and the US govt's request for companies to provide a backdoor to encryption -- we discussed that yesterday. 4) Number three leads to a more general and i think thoughtful question - -which permeates every aspect of our country - from the economy, to the government to institutions like health care, defense, education and the justice system. Trust of the American public in American institutions : A poll was just released showing that trust in Congress, the presidency, the Supreme Court, big business, Wall Street, etc. is at historic lows. That does not bode well for the country (and in fact the military seems to be the only institution that Ameicans trust, which is evocative of a third world nation and not of the world's leading nation, for now). http://www.gallup.com/poll/183605/confidence-branches-government-remains-low.aspx?utm_source=position2&utm_medium=related&utm_campaign=tiles The issues that Reid and I teed up for john when he was at the tech roundtable with Steph and Amanda at LinkedIn were: There should be a good crowd, but unfortunately a number of folks are out of town, and in terms of GC's, a number have annual meetings and the like. Nonetheless, there will be a reasonable showing - prob about 50 folks (though about 70 have said they're coming). They range from tech folks to GC's to law firm counsel to non profits to STanford folk and even one union leader (SEIU) may show. Steph, in terms of recruiting - -there are a few people that might be helpful - and each of them is a wonderful human being. Though I don't know that any are looking, they're defnitely worthwhile talking to: Hope this helps, and please do let me know if i can be of any help, though i'm out of pocket for most of tomorrow (talkign on cybersecurity at stanford directors college).
