[PJ] A former top State Department official who worked under Hillary Clinton told John Podesta that the use of private email accounts by Obama administration officials is widespread. "Btw you know as well as I every g*d d*mn cabinet officer and WH staff uses [their] gmail account!" Tom Nides, the former deputy secretary of state for management and resources, wrote to Clinton's campaign chair in a March 2015 email released by WikiLeaks.
Nides advised Podesta on how the campaign should handle the Clinton email scandal. "For what it’s worth. There is only one thing that needs to be done on this email thing. (Which I am sure nobody wants to do). Get a state dept career lawyer to go through all the emails and pull the official ones. I know all the reasons not to do it but it’s going to happen so we should do it," he wrote to Podesta.
