Carly Fiorina Shapes Herself as the Republican Foil to Hillary Clinton
By Amy Chozick. She has been the chief executive of Hewlett-Packard, a senior adviser to a Republican presidential nominee and a candidate for the United States Senate. But Carly Fiorina recently took on her boldest role yet: Hillary Rodham Clinton’s loudest critic.

“The vast majority of my work emails went to government employees at their government addresses, which meant they were captured and preserved immediately on the system at the State Department,” she said Tuesday.

She said the department only started automatically archiving emails for other senior officials in February. (Read more from this story HERE)
