AP Exclusive: Some Obama top political appointees using secret US government email accounts

Well it makes sense if you have something to hide or want to stall an investigation. Transparency - the most ignored word in this dysfunctional administration.

"Some of President Barack Obama’s political appointees, including the secretary for Health and Human Services, are using secret government email accounts they say are necessary to prevent their inboxes from being overwhelmed with unwanted messages, according to a review by The Associated Press.

The scope of using the secret accounts across government remains a mystery: Most U.S. agencies have failed to turn over lists of political appointees’ email addresses, which the AP sought under the Freedom of Information Act more than three months ago. The Labor Department initially asked the AP to pay more than $1 million for its email addresses."

Watched the news and saw that they HHS Secretary may have her own scandal about fundraising....Freedom of Information Act and this administration really shouldn't be used in the same sentence....
