The epic tales of Corn Pop’s young companion (POTUS46 complaint department)

Lord knows what us vaguely libertarians would need though. Maybe it just flips everything to be a Ron Paul/John Rawls Gary Johnson quote.

More fun.

I don’t know if it’s normal.
But an alias seems like one of a number of reasonable precautions to take if you know foreign states are going to try to intercept your email.

Maybe. Email transmission is encrypted and if he followed any sort of precautions, the email itself would be encrypted too.

If a foreign adversary intercepted a transmission from Air Force 2, managed to wrangle enough super computers, running for however many lifetimes of the universe it takes to break modern encryption, I don't think they'll be stymied much by an email alias. "Oops! Turns out this email is just from oj.idenbay@mailgay.com. dang!"

I agree. But if there was a bulk intercept/decryption of a million whitehouse.gov emails, maybe an alias makes it a little tougher. Also, I could be totally wrong.

But there would seem to be a precedent:

And, if I remember right, Clinton didn’t take many safeguards to protect these emails, so maybe an alias is better than nothing? Or maybe it doesn’t make a difference.
