A revelation has emerged regarding six officials from the Obama administration who made use of email aliases, with notable figures including former Vice President Joe Biden and former President Barack Obama adopting such practices.

The adoption of email aliases by government officials, whether they were connected to a government network or not, is considered unconventional. The employment of such aliases not only appears peculiar but raises concerns about the reasons behind these actions and the potential compromise of government secrets.

Outlined below is a compilation of six U.S. officials who employed email aliases during their tenure within the Obama administration:

Lisa Jackson, 2013

Lisa Jackson, the former EPA Administrator, utilized the alias “Richard Windsor” for various online training programs involving topics like ethics and records preservation, according to information from the Competitive Enterprise Institute:

Jackson’s use of a fictitious persona for her non-public email account has drawn criticism from Republicans who suspect it might have been an attempt to evade transparency and public records obligations. The origin of the alias was traced back to Jackson’s pet dog named Richard and her previous hometown of East Windsor, N.J.

Loretta Lynch, 2016

Loretta Lynch, serving as Obama’s attorney general, was found to have used the email alias “Elizabeth Carlisle” in connection to coordinating narratives about a secret meeting with Bill Clinton aboard a private plane. The meeting had occurred during the time when Hillary Clinton’s private email server was under investigation:

The former attorney general employed the pseudonym to discuss the meeting with Department of Justice officials following the secret plane meeting. The sequence of events that followed the plane meeting, including former FBI director James Comey’s decision not to pursue a case against Hillary Clinton and Lynch’s subsequent announcement that the DOJ would not investigate the Clinton Foundation’s dealings with the State Department, led to skepticism about Lynch’s intentions.

Eric Holder, 2015

After taking office as the attorney general in 2009, Eric Holder was found to have used three separate email aliases: Henry Yearwood, David Kendricks, and an undisclosed current alias. The origins of these aliases are linked to his family members and musical influences:

Holder’s usage of pseudonyms for his email addresses during his tenure as the attorney general has been confirmed. The aliases were derived from his family members’ names and inspirations drawn from musical figures.

Barack Obama, 2016

An email exchange between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton using an alias was revealed, with Obama’s pseudonym being “Obama725.” The details of this particular email exchange remain undisclosed due to claims of “presidential communications privilege”:

Although some correspondence between Obama and Clinton was known to occur through her private email account, the White House maintained that Obama was unaware of her exclusive use of the private account for official business.

Joe Biden, 2016

Joe Biden employed several aliases, including “Robert Peters,” “Robin Ware,” and “JRB Ware.” An email exchange in 2016 involving his alias “Robert Peters” related to a scheduled call with the Ukrainian president Petro Poroshenko. This event took place amid allegations of Joe Biden’s involvement in firing a prosecutor investigating Burisma Holdings:

The House Oversight Committee accused Joe Biden of exerting pressure on Ukraine to fire a prosecutor who was investigating Burisma Holdings, the energy company that paid his son Hunter Biden a substantial monthly sum to serve on its board.

Hillary Clinton, 2016

The infamous email scandal brought to light the use of two alias email addresses by Hillary Clinton: “hdr22” and “hrod17.” Her setup of a private email server and network for herself, her family, and her aide Huma Abedin raised concerns about transparency and potential coordination with the Clinton Foundation:

Hillary Clinton’s utilization of email aliases came into public focus during the investigation into her private email server. The setup of a private network enabled her to exchange emails with the Clinton Foundation, world leaders, and consulting firms, raising questions about ethical compliance.
