Janet Napolitano never used email as the head of DHS


>Janet Napolitano never used email as the head of DHS

i know at least one candidate for President of US who right now is very very sorry for not following such best practice while at her last gov job, and who has basically become the showcase of "Trying to dodge discovery the Wrong Way".


I worked at a financial company where Larry Summers went to work, briefly, around 10 years ago. The guy wouldn't use the company computers or phones.


Donald Trump is also said not to use email. I think he said "I'm smart. I don't use email.".


In case anyone else, like me, assumed this was comedy, there's no Politifact on it, but Bloomberg claims it's true: http://www.bloomberg.com/politics/articles/2016-06-20/trump-... (last paragraph)


He probably does use his phone to tweet http://varianceexplained.org/r/trump-tweets/
