...........An attorney for the Republican National Committee told congressional staffers in April that the RNC was missing four years worth of e-mails Rove sent using an RNC e-mail account instead of his government e-mail address, the Washington Post reported at the time. Investigators want to know if he was using that e-mail to circumvent rules about executive branch record keeping while injecting political considerations into the Justice Department.

Leahy said Thursday that was vindicated with the revelation of the e-mails' existence because he had said on the Senate floor earlier this year that e-mails' could not be completely destroyed.

"To their credit, the White House has now told me ... I was right; they were wrong," Leahy said during a markup meeting. "The e-mails are found ... although they have yet to give them."

There have been no discussions between White House officials and Judiciary Committee members since Leahy's comments yesterday, Schmaler said. It is not clear whether the White House intends to comply with the Judiciary Committee's document demand. The White House did not return RAW STORY's request for comment Friday. Republicans have said US Attorneys serve strictly at the pleasure of the president, and there is nothing wrong with firing them......

1. That was tactful.

What Leahy should have said was, "I was right, they were lying."
