Outlook, Microsoft email program, when used on company servers, has a couple of levels of storage. The first is the network storage, inbox and folders. I have found large companies restrict this area for network/cost reasons. We were restricted to 160 meg at one place, I don't really under why but they do it. So to store extra emails you create a PST file. Now the PST can me located where ever you like. The normal business location is on MY Docs or a network drive, at least somewhere where IT do regular backups. BUT for Outlook, there is nothing stopping you creating your PST on a USB drive of any description. These PST files also have a limit, not sure of the number but it is considerably larger than main inbox. There is no limit to how many PST can be created and they just show up as folders below you main inbox.
I suspect our lady in question and maybe her superiors as well had a "private" PST either on a thumb drive or an external HDD for all her special emails, what ever that may be. Now under IRS rules is that allowed? It sounds like it is not, especially when it is very work related.

So let's get back to Fast and Furious.
Why were liberals never outraged by that -- can y'all at least say it's wrong and pretty shady?
We're talking about our government selling guns and assault rifles to Mexican cartels. So that the we could then sit back and watch all the crimes happen, with those guns, the idea being then you can trace the guns.
But in the meantime the US gov has become a gun supplier to cartels. So wtf. It makes government directly, intentionally, complicit in the crime! "Here's a gun, now go do a crime so we can arrest you for using the gun we just gave you." Wtf.
Nobody else sees how messed up that was?
If government does anything, then gun buybacks are helpful to prevent crime, not SELLING guns.

Yeah, well, when the Republicans sold arms for hostages and funded contras in Nicaragua and the folks behind it got pardons, it kinda allowed folks in the political center and left to get jaded. Where was the Right's outrage when Republicans did that? AWOL, that's where.
Pot, meet Kettle. That's why.
And I'm not a liberal, but I'm guessing you think a liberal is anyone to the left of Pinochet, so I'm sure I'm in there somewhere.

And that's the problem with party loyalty and partisanship.
It's better, and more intellectually honest to just be independent and free to call it like you see it.
Fast and furious should have been a moral outrage, that's amoral selling guns to drug cartels -- hello? It's just an outrage.
We ain't talkin' Nicaragua. We're talking about across the border and the cartels bringing the guns US gov sold them to America and someone got shot over here with one of those guns.
And that's supposed to just be okay? Like "look they shot someone with one of these guns we've put out on the streets so now we can trace it and get a prosecution on the books."
It was just insane. Should be a concern to anybody, doesn't matter your party, when the police cross the line into ENCOURAGING crime so they can "fight it." It's like the prison industrial complex, when law enforcement becomes a BUSINESS needing new markets.
It's police excess, it's like when entrapment goes too far, and it's a very important principle here whether one is left or right.
Being objective, this was a regional ATF office, I don't know how far up the chain that decision was made on this program. But this is Obama's administration that's supposed to be handling the executive branch. Was it ever really looked into?
Because of hyper partisanship, Obama can never even admit to something patently very wrong done in his administration. And now, IRS emails and crashed computers and missing emails or whatever.
Democrats, and the Obama admin itself, excuse defensiveness (thin line there between that and coverup) because they feel under assault by the GOP all the time. But it's not leadership. The buck is supposed to "stop here."
I don't even know if fast and furious was ever gotten to the bottom of, was anyone reprimanded, and it wasn't criminal but whoever came up with that idea should have been fired. There needed to be consequences, and lessons learned, so it does not happen again.

No it isn't honest at all, it is the opposite.
Honesty is owning your bias and trying to compensate for the direction your knee instinctively jerks.
"Calling it like you see it" is exactly the opposite of "intellect" which implies weighing various facts and coming to an objective conclusion.
Imagining you are "independent" of the instinctual bias we all are subject too simply means you will follow your bias in a self-referential circle, always coming back the the point from which you started.
Kind of the definition of party politics.
The legitimate object of government, is to do for a community of people, whatever they need to have done, but can not do, at all, or can not, so well do, for themselves -- in their separate, and individual capacities.

As I said, inuendo and conspiracy. My beef is not that some agency is incompetent, but the desperate attemp to stick this to the highest levels of government. Which is being conducted by many of the same people that let real past atrocities go unchallenged.
So, let's forget the phony incredulous search for the truth and call it like it is. A snipe hunt to obfuscate a do nothing Congress while attempting to pass the blame and discredit their opposition.
Enjoy your new ear rings.
