Topic: Obamacare Official Caught Telling Employee To Delete Emails (Read 737 times)

Plenty of 365 day a year snow/ice lands and deserts to build prison labor camps in, where the traitors against humanity have no chance of escaping to civilization alive.

Put them under house arrest and bar the door and windows.

Do we have some space left in the jails or are they all full?

In the US you need to understand civil servants cannot delete their professional communications. It is against the law. Asking someone to do it is against the law. Nothing to do with the website being a disaster or not.

I would believe that to be the case anywhere in the world, no matter the regime.

I think this is just another example of the Obama administration's disregard for the law. They have bent, changed, and ignored the law so many times it is just sad that Obama is still in office.   

We can make exceptions to this law when deemed necessary.

I don't understand why this should be alarming or an issue?

The Healthcare.Gov website rollout was a disaster...everyone knows it. So how could uncovering a deleted email make the existing disastrous rollout worse?

An email obtained by Congress shows the top official for Healthcare.gov at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services under the Department of Health and Human Services, Marilyn Tavenner, instructed the agency’s top spokesman to “Please delete this email.”

The instruction appears significant for several reasons: First, the email to be deleted included an exchange between key White House officials and CMS officials. Second, the email was dated October 5, 2013, five days into the disastrous launch of HealthCare.gov. Third, federal law requires federal officials to retain copies of –not delete– email exchanges. And fourth, the document to be deleted is covered under Congressional subpoena as well as longstanding Freedom of Information requests made by members of the media (including me).

In a letter today, House Energy and Commerce leaders asked Tavenner to explain why she asked her colleague to delete the email, and the letter questions whether there are other instances in which she instructed HHS staff to delete emails. The letter also asks for more details regarding Congressional subpoenaed documents, including Tavenner emails, that CMS recently said might be permanently lost; and it requests an explanation as to why redactions are made in some documents provided to Congress so far.
