Mike Pence Is Mad At A News Outlet For Publishing His Wife’s Email Address, Sadly Made Myself Laugh With This One: https://www.buzzfeed.com/salvadorhernandez/mike-pence-is-mad-at-a-news-outlet-for-publishing-his-wifes …

Vice President Mike Pence is criticizing the Associated Press after the news organization published his wife’s private email address in a news story, even though the email was listed in recently released public documents.

Pence, the former governor of Indiana, unsuccessfully fought against the release of the records from his private AOL email account. However, the Indianapolis Star obtained 29 pages of emails through an open records request which showed that Pence repeatedly used private email accounts to conduct official business.

In a story published Friday, the AP revealed that Karen Pence was also using a private AOL account during her time as first lady of Indiana, publishing both of the private email addresses in their story. This generated a rebuke from the Vice President, who said in a tweet that doing so violated his wife’s privacy and security.

Last night the @AP published my wife's private email address, violating her privacy and our security...

The Vice President’s office also requested that the AP remove the email addresses and apologize to the Second Lady of the United States.

In a letter sent to the AP’s CEO the vice president’s attorney alleged that, in publishing Karen Pence’s email address, the second lady was subjected to “vitriolic and malicious emails and raised serious security concerns.”

“There was no reason to publish this private email address, and you should be ashamed of your reprehensible conduct,” the vice president’s attorney, Mark R. Paoletta, wrote in the letter.

When we requested they take it down, they refused. The @AP owes my wife an apology.

2. Well since his situation is SO much different

than Sec. Clinton, this shouldn't be a problem when we start ripping his life apart and see how different his situation is. I guess Pruitt is in the same boat.

Which it appears he's learning happens with unsecured email accounts.
