Former White House press secretary Robert Gibbs: Use of private Clinton emails 'highly unusual'

Former White House press secretary Robert Gibbs says he can’t think of a good reason why Hillary Clinton would have used a personal email address for all correspondence when she was secretary of state.

“I think it is, obviously, highly unusual,” he said on NBC’s “Today” on Tuesday morning, following a report by The New York Times that Clinton used a non-government email to conduct official business, possibly in violation of federal record requirements. The State Department acknowledged to POLITICO on Monday that thousands of her emails were not preserved as a result.

Clinton and her people need to explain the situation in detail, Gibbs said.

There are lots of briefings that you have, certainly when you go into the White House about preserving any email that you have, making sure it’s part of your official account,” he added. “I think it’s something that they’re going to have to explain in good measure today and probably figure out how to get a lot of those emails, or as many as they can, back to the archives.”

1. I can count on Politico to be there. This sounds a lot like something Andy Gibbs from bee gees

would say

2. Does Gibbs know if other cabinet members, national security advisors, etc. also used

private email for business, or never had a .gov account? Particularly Leon Panetta, Bob Gates, Susan Rice, Chuck Hagel, Tom Donilon, John Brennan, Clapper, etc.? Kerry uses .gov. I'm more interested in what the administration had to do with the decision to allow different email arrangements for different members, than I am about Hillary Clinton.
