Conversation about the email controversy often pivots around statements that “other secretaries of state” regularly used private email for official business and kept poor records of those emails.
But this report says that only two secretaries of state fall into those categories: Hillary Clinton and Colin Powell.
The inspector general looked at all five secretaries of state in the digital age.
It found that email was rarely employed at the agency under Secretary Madeleine Albright (1997-2001) and that she herself never used it. As for Secretary Condoleezza Rice (2005-2009), the inspector general concluded she did not use either personal or department email accounts for State Department business.
Did Rice send classified emails on a private account? No. Did she conduct business on a personal account? Also, no, according to the report. The State Department said in February that
some aides to Rice received classified information on email, but those were aides, not Rice, and the emails were received by, not sent from, private accounts.
Current Secretary John Kerry, the report says, uses an agency account for State Department business with infrequent use of personal email when someone contacts him using that account.
