The confidante also told the agents that the president’s official email account had filters, so that certain emails could not get through to him–which came to her attention because when the former first lady changed private email accounts, her emails were bounced from the president’s official email account.
In addition to the news that the president, like many other members of his administration, used a fake name and his own private email account, it also means that Obama’s public statements about Clinton’s email arrangement were contrary to his own working knowledge and experience.
Obama told CBS News March 7, 2015 that he did not know about Clinton’s private email while she was his secretary of state from Jan. 21, 2009 to Feb. 1, 2013.
Q: Mr. President, when did you first learn that Hillary Clinton used an email system outside the U.S. government for official business while she was secretary of state?
Obama: The same time everybody else learned it through news reports.
In March 2013, The Smoking Gun website posted an article describing Clinton’s private email scheme, but it was not until The New York Times reported March 2, 2015 a full description of how Clinton used not only a private email address, but also a private server, and used this setup for all of her official electronic correspondence when she led State.

yep
Regarding the filters, this is what I had alluded to in my post. I would have thought the the US gov. would have some system that isolated
accounts used and also have some type of encryption depending on level of security needed.
They do but its not used by "some"
I find this ironic in light of the supposedly Russian hacking that is supposed to have taken place.
Security policies are not apparently followed, supposedly state actor hacks are then complained about when what they where designed to prevent happens
One would wonder why is it, that Russia or China don't seem to have this problem?
