Avoiding WH system by using rnc pagers? If we get subpoena power, we know
where to look.


"BETTER TO NOT PUT THIS STUFF IN WRITING...." The House Government Reform Committee has released a bipartisan report on the Jack Abramoff scandal, including hundreds of emails between Abramoff and various GOP luminaries, including Karl Rove's assistant, Susan Ralston. And why not? Ralston used to work for Abramoff, after all.

You can see 'em all here. Mostly they seem to be obsessed with the giving and getting of skybox tickets to various sporting events, but Abramoff's bilking of Indian tribes and other clients is an ongoing favorite too. I haven't read the whole bunch, but I've reproduced my favorite exchange so far below. I wonder how many emails to "Susan's mc pager" didn't get into the White House system?

UPDATE: Or is it "Susan's rnc pager"? I can't tell.

8. looks like r n c pager
When I look at the image zoomed in a lot in a graphics package
it looks like rnc pager, not mc pager. There's too much
white between the r and n for it to be an m.

rnc pager also makes sense, mc pager does not.

13. ? Hatch Act?
Because it did go on a government system?

These 'pagers' are they really crackberries? The prosecution should be able to subpeona the logs, right?

14. Looks like there's clear evidence of use of government systems
for campaign uses. And I'm sure we're talking about crackberries. Clearly the logs are material evidence in this matter.

9. Brilliant! If you don't want it in the system, don't
write about not wanting it in the system.
