Hold a hearing, issue some subpoenas and if proven true, FIRE THEM.
It IS as simple as that. Same thing a corporation would do.

Yep, looks like the title is spot on. Using personal e-mails to correspond with lobbyists.

I read it, it said they are using their private e-mail accounts as they are not part of the public record. Pretty much what the thread title says.

From the link:

"The letter came in response to allegations first reported by the New York Times last week. According to the report, lobbyists routinely get e-mails from White House staff members' personal accounts rather than official accounts that can eventually become public record."

You forget. Government is above the law, especially in the executive branch.

Wasnt there an article out today about the WH meeting with lobbyists at a coffee shop, therefore, avoiding a the WH Visitors Log?

Transparency?! LOL

Liberals and Obama supporters, when is enough enough? Why are you okay with this? Especially from a guy who ran on Hope and Change and doing things different?

They can not man up and admit they were duped.
