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.

None other than State spokesperson and airhead redhead Jen Psaki contradicted Clinton's claim, saying State didn't start automatically archiving senior officials' emails until last month. She added that, before February, senior officials would have been responsible for archiving their own emails. Instead of doing that, Hillary unilaterally did a two-word "keyword" search through her emails, and anything that didn't come up under those keywords -- and no one knows except ol' Hill what keywords she used -- were deleted from her private server.
So, I'm thinking of starting a GoFundMe account for Hill and Bill to pay their way back to Arkansas for the last time, 'cause they're goin' nowhere fast, and somebody besides them seems to be drivin' the bus for a change.
