To your comment above "...all RM types have an obligation to get someone in
the org to understand..."

From the article:

A senior State Department official emailed me to say that “in October 2014,
a Department-wide notice was sent out which explained each employee’s
responsibilities for records management. Consistent with 2013 NARA
guidance, it included instructions that generally employees should not use
personal email for the transaction of government business, but that in the
very limited circumstances when it is necessary, all records must be
forwarded to a government account or otherwise preserved in the
Department’s electronic records systems.”

So it appears SOMEONE did.

And my desire wasn't to "...turn this into a political rant..." but it
seemed every article posted had been from a single perspective that had a
definite right lean to them.

Two sides to every story, this will play itself out over time, but the
timing of this "news release" sorta has the scent of stinky cheese to me.
