LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - In the wake of Hillary Clinton's ongoing email scandal, Attorney General Holder was discovered to have held at least three different names for his government email address - which begs the question "why?"'

In the past, Holder has been involved in several scandals, causing his use of aliases to be critically questioned.

Former Justice Department spokesman Brian Fallon reported Holder used names such as Henry Yearwood and David Kendricks in the past. Most recently, Holder was caught using NBA hall of former Kareem Abdul-Jabaar's given name - "Lew Alcindor."

Historian and doctoral candidate Ryan Shapiro wrote a letter explaining, "For your information, e-mails in the enclosed documents which use the account name 'Lew Alcindor' denote e-mails to or from former Attorney General Holder."

The letter came as part of a 420-page collection of redacted emails and other documents.
The documents revealed Justice Department official emails to and from Holder concerning a federal investigation into claims of the CIA spying on Senate staff as they drafted a report on the CIA's torture program.

The use of aliases forced the United States government to look into the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) to ensure all of Holder's online correspondence could be properly tracked.

The email aliases not only make the public's understanding of who the email actually belongs to - thus making reviews difficult to properly allocate - but also forces the government to question whether they have everything Holder has ever sent and received.

If three aliases have already been discovered, how many more are out there? Can Holder be trusted to divulge all emails when required?

Holder's use of Abdul-Jabbar's name could be chalked up to a fan wanting to show his support of the former NBA player, but what of the other names? 

Laura Sheehan, a spokeswoman for the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), explained the use of aliases is common, and "There is no prohibition against it, so long as they can be linked to the actual name."
