United States News Title: WIKILEAKS - Re: HRC and the email flap - There Is Just No Good Answer [Ann Marie Slaughter] - "Honestly, OTR, EVERYONE I knew at State used our private email" WIKILEAKS - Re: HRC and the email flap - There Is Just No Good Answer [Ann Marie Slaughter] - "Honestly, OTR, EVERYONE I knew at State used our private email" https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/32612 Re: HRC and the email flap From:pir@hrcoffice.com Subject: Re: HRC and the email flap There We need to gut through the process phase, get them all out there and let the content do the talking. From: Cheryl Mills ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Subject: Fwd: HRC and the email flap To: Nick Merrill >, Jake Sullivan >, Cheryl Mills > fyi from Tom F — not great, but useful to know. I’m thinking about writing an op-ed myself from the point of view of a former State Dept official. Begin forwarded message: Anne-Marie, That doesn't sound unreasonable to me, but she needs to get out there and say it and explain it. I am sure she has a case to be made and right now it is her critics who are making it.

Long after you knew you probably should have? Honestly, OTR, EVERYONE I knew at State used our private email (I used Princeton) when we were out of the office (except for our blackberries, which were State issued) because it was so incredibly clunky and difficult to get onto the State system when we were not in the office (it was a complicated set of steps and the system always froze or crashed). We sent sensitive but unclassified documents to our private emails so we could work on them at home and then sent them back to our work emails. Moreover, the overall lesson that everyone had taken away from the Clinton administration was not to put ANYTHING politically sensitive on email period, regardless of the system. I remember getting called on that early on — someone assumed I was putting something in email so that if it came out in the press later I would look good — a consideration that had simply never occurred to me. What seems most unfair about this is that she was working round the clock to master a completely new job and set of issues; the State Dept systems were a mess; she switched from campaign to home and then stuck with that for four years.

I moved to gmail, got a Mac laptop, got rid of AOL. And I am not the Secretary of State, bound by very clear government regulations. I have to say I am troubled by what I have read about what Hillary did. I am keeping an open until I hear what she has to say, but it doesn't sit right with me. Just to let you know where I stand. Thanks for reaching out. Allbest, Tom On Sat, Mar 7, 2015 at 8:48 AM, Anne-Marie Slaughter > wrote: Tom, Just some reflections. But both seem very relevant to putting all this in some perspective.
