Gov. Bill Haslam said Friday that all state business is conducted on the state’s email system by him and his staff except for an occasional “inadvertent slip” when messages are routed through personal and his former campaign email systems.

The governor’s remarks were in response to the posting of dozens of email messages regarding state business and policy sent among Haslam’s current and former top staff and advisors using private accounts primarily associated with the campaign “@billhaslam.com” email domain established for his 2010 and 2014 election campaigns.

Nashville’s NewsChannel5 obtained the email through a public records request for “any state email sent to and from the domain billhaslam.com to or from” any member of the governor’s cabinet., which includes state department commissioners and the governor’s top staff. After the request was later narrowed down to one day, Aug. 24, 2015, the governor’s office produced several email exchanges that either originated from or were sent to the private accounts but which ended up in the state email system when they were forwarded or other state officials were copied on them.

According to a state memo given to NewsChannel5 with the email, the administration withheld 18 documents from disclosure — 14 on the grounds of a “deliberative process privilege” that Haslam’s office has asserted previously and the others for various exemptions to the Tennessee Public Records Act.

The released email includes, for example, discussions of the state budget process, a state tax policy proposal and an exchange with Knoxville Mayor Madeline Rogero involving a dispute between the city and the Tennessee Department of Transportation over James White Parkway.

Several of the exchanges were to or from Mark Cate, the governor’s former special assistant and policy advisor who also served as Haslam’s 2010 campaign manager. Cate left his state office last summer and established a governmental consulting firm. He also heads the governor’s effort to raise $40 million in private funds toward a new $160 million Tennessee State Museum.

he immediately announced he had turned over all the emails....
he then announced that not all emails had been turned over but they had been totally destroyed....
he then announced that some more emails had been found but that all of them which were not of a personal nature had been turned over....
he then announced that some other emails had been found on a private server he had forgotten he was keeping in a Chinese restaurant behind some mops and cans of miso soup but that none of them were really important and could be ignored......
the FBI decided they should take another look.....

it was about this time that Republicans began to realize that he was just like Clinton.....

Is it possible for you to comment on Haslam without bringing up Hillary? Because it sure looks to me like you're giving him a pass.
 
The Espionage Act states that whoever is “entrusted” with state secrets must ensure this data isn’t “removed from its proper place of custody” and that “gross negligence” isn’t a defense:

Relevant parts of the espionage act:
(f) Whoever, being entrusted with or having lawful possession or control of any document, writing, code book, signal book, sketch, photograph, photographic negative, blueprint, plan, map, model, instrument, appliance, note, or information, relating to the national defense, (1) through gross negligence permits the same to be removed from its proper place of custody or delivered to anyone in violation of his trust, or to be lost, stolen, abstracted, or destroyed, or (2) having knowledge that the same has been illegally removed from its proper place of custody or delivered to anyone in violation of its trust, or lost, or stolen, abstracted, or destroyed, and fails to make prompt report of such loss, theft, abstraction, or destruction to his superior officer—

Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both.

This isn’t Whitewater. It’s a huge story, and a controversy that will lead to the FBI recommending indictments. If you disagree, then store your Social Security number, bank account information, and address on a friend’s private server. After you’ve stored your most precious data on another person’s server, then try to sleep easy at night.



Nobody before Clinton, Republican or Democrat, has ever linked a private server to government networks used to store Top Secret intelligence.



Hillary Clinton broke State Department guidelines, which makes storing 22 Top Secret emails

The Obama administration confirmed for the first time Friday that Hillary Clinton’s unsecured home server contained some of the U.S. government’s most closely guarded secrets, censoring 22 emails with material demanding one of the highest levels of classification.

Clinton violated the espionage act. She may very well be indicted. This whole huffpost article is a gold mine:

You and your slack jawed tech-illterate supporters like rana and christie either:

A) don't understand what the fuck is going on
B) are deliberately trying to muddy the waters.
 
So I will ask you again, in your OP did your guy violate the espionage act? Did he remove top secret material from government servers?
 
you are trying to conflate two instances that other than the word 'email' in the article have nothing to do with each other, they are completely different circumstances.

You've been grindsmashed.
