Digital Detectives: The Hilary Clinton E-Mail Mess

September 8, 2015

Who would ever have thought that Hillary Clinton's use of a private e-mail server would threaten to be her undoing? Months ago, it seemed a serious issue, but few thought it might prove a barrier to her becoming the Democratic Presidential candidate.

We were very fortunate to have Jason Baron as our guest on our latest Legal Talk Network Digital Detectives podcast to discuss this issue, which has recently become white-hot. Jason is of counsel to Drinker Biddle & Reath, LLP, practicing in their Information Governance and eDiscovery Group, and is co-chair of The Information Governance Initiative, a think tank and vendor neutral consortium. Previously, he served as director of litigation at the National Archives and Records Administration, and as a trial attorney and senior counsel at the U.S. Department of Justice.

We asked him if Hillary's actions were legal, whether he thought they might derail her candidacy and if the rise of "Shadow IT" like that used by Hillary had major implications for managing classified government data. Clink on the link above to listen to the podcast.

Always a pleasure Jason!
