how convenient: roberts file missing after being reviewed by White House

[dajoki]

A file folder containing papers from Supreme Court nominee John G. Roberts Jr.'s work on affirmative action more than 20 years ago disappeared from the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library after its review by two lawyers from the White House and the Justice Department in July, according to officials at the library and the National Archives and Records Administration.

Archivists said the lawyers returned the file but it now cannot be located. No duplicates of the folder's contents were made before the lawyers' review. Although one of the lawyers has assisted in the Archives' attempt to reconstruct its contents from other files, officials have no way of independently verifying their effort was successful.


It is rare for the Archives to lose documents in its care and the agency has requested an investigation by its inspector general, said Sharon Fawcett, the assistant archivist for presidential libraries.

The lost file has also aroused some concern on Capitol Hill. Sen. Patrick J. Leahy (Vt.), the senior Democrat on the Judiciary Committee, wrote yesterday to R. Duke Blackwood, executive director of the Reagan Library, asking that he "continue to investigate thoroughly" the missing affirmative action file and "clarify the basis upon which you believe you have reconstructed that file." And Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D-Mass.) requested a Justice Department investigation because one of the agency's lawyers had seen the documents involved:wtf: WP 8/17/05http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/08/16/AR2005081601457.html?referrer=email

1. par for the course, lying, cheating, stealing.

[Art_from_Ark]

5. "Lying, cheating, stealing"

The repukes' definition of "honor and integrity"

:puke:

[dajoki]

15. sad, but true n/t

[merh]

2. Filegate - didn't these assholes harass Hillary and her staff

about files that were in their possession? Travelgate and fingerprints and lies and innuendos and ....

Have I mentioned how much I hate these bastards! :argh:

[dajoki]

18. can you remember how much$...

they spent investigating the clintons? i can't that's why im asking.

[merh]

20. I don't know exactly how much, but you can bet it was in the millions.

The hypocrites. :argh:

[dajoki]

22. i was thinking billions...

i might be wrong, but starr had a bottomless pit to work with.

[merh]

24. I wouldn't doubt it was billions.

:argh:

[dajoki]

26. they investigated...

the clintons throughout his entire two terms and the only thing they could come up with was "is". alot of money for that, huh?:wtf:

3. Was Sandy Berger there?

:sarcasm:

[Vinnie From Indy]

8. What do you mean by that statement?

Are you slamming Berger?

[dajoki]

9. look again

it was sarcasm:sarcasm:

[Moochy]

10. Berger pled guilty to misdemeanor

Not a slam as much as a sarcastic joke, note the sarcasm icon even!

His sentencing is in September. he plead guilty to a misdemeanor. He's looking at a $10,000-$100,000 fine, and up to a year in jail, though from reading over reports of the trial, it seems more likely he'll get the lower end of the sentencing.

[abbeyco]

27. Thank you for clarifying

It was a sarcastic remark.

I'm not gonna get in a pissing war with anyone about being able to make a wise-ass joke every so often.

I'll just lurk like I used to and quit participating.

[Moochy]

29. keep the sarcasm flowing :)

Hey as a fellow one time lurker, turned unabashed post-whore :) I hear ya. We all must not be so thin skinned and we have to be able to laugh at ourselves. (democrats) If not we're just humorless prigs.

[dajoki]

30. don't quit posting...

i got the sarcasm immediately check my "look again" post where i pointed it out. you even used :sarcasm: in your post. every opinion is important.:hi:

[Wickerman]

4. nominated

Should be something that will point out how corrupt this WH is. This is the kind of thing the Rethugs tied Clinton in knots about for years and that gave Starr free reign to play with.

[Mist]

14. - sigh - I should be used to this brazen BS by now, but I'm not.

Always a new low from the * admin.
