Mike Pence Used AOL Email For State Business As Indiana's Governor

Do you remember how he damned Hillary about her emails? And we know without doubt that his AOL account was hacked.


--------------------------------------------------------------

Vice President Mike Pence used a private AOL account to conduct official business in his former position as the governor of Indiana, according to public records. And at one point, the account was hacked and used to send fraudulent emails seeking money from his contacts.

Pence used the account to communicate with advisers about issues including homeland security in Indiana and the security of the gates at the governor's mansion, The Indianapolis Star reports.

The Star says it obtained 29 pages of email records from current Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb's office in response to a public records request.

Throughout the 2016 presidential campaign, both Pence and then-candidate Donald Trump repeatedly criticized Hillary Clinton for using a private server and private email for State Department business. Appearing on Meet the Press in September, Pence said Clinton was keeping her communications "out of the public reach, out of public accountability."

During the vice presidential debate in October, Pence alluded to the security concerns of using unofficial email systems, claiming that Clinton's email server "was subject to being hacked by foreign governments."

Pence's email was hacked before he was chosen as Donald Trump's running mate, according to the Star. His email contacts were sent emails claiming that the governor and his wife needed money and were stranded in the Philippines.

One difference. We know that Pence's account was hacked. There is no evidence that Clinton's account was hacked.

Rather hypocritical to criticize another of doing what he was doing at the same time. It was Pence who claimed that it was a crime.

 

Was his account hacked? Yes, it was!

We do not know if he was dealing with top secret information or now. He did use his AOL account to discuss Homeland Security issues.

Did he criticize Hillary while at doing the same thing at the same time. This is the height of hypocrisy.

 

You have people in high positions who are used to everyone telling them how great they are ... well they would probably fire you for telling them they are not doing what they should. Folk at that level do not take kindly to criticism even if it is constructive criticism. I saw this happen with upper management folk where I worked.

Yes, Indiana had a server up and running.

 

Could be a fair amount could be classified. After all it was Homeland Security.

Are you saying he is not smart enough to realized that he could not see he was doing the same as Hillary, just at a different level?
