The RNC is subject to subpoena and must comply....

[Blackhatjack]

If the RNC acted in concert with the White House to violate the law(Presidential Records Preservation Act) then the RNC is subject to subpoena, its officials and employees required to testify as ordered and/or produce all records(electronic and/or hard copies)and all evidence in their possession. An additional point, there is a duty to disclose records and evidence that was once in their possession which has been destroyed or transferred to another entity.

If there was discussion of 'policy' such as we have here regarding firing of US Attorneys --then that is the business of the people, covered by the Act, and use of the RNC email server implicates the RNC.

The key question is: Was there an act in furtherance of a criminal conspiracy which is punishable by law? If so, then we have a criminal conspiracy between the RNC and officials at the WHite House.

US Attorneys prosecute crimes, not Congress. But Congress investigates matters that relate to actions of the Administration which involve improper disclosures of government information or failure of the Administration to follow the laws in carrying out their duties(like preserving government records in compliance with the law).

What Congress should do is send over a notice to the RNC that they intend to examine their records and instruct the RNC to preserve the evidence. That would create a duty not to destroy the RNC's records. Then Congress needs to follow it up with subpoenoes. OF course any information that is discovered by Congress can be turned over to an US Attorney for review to determine if a crime has occurred, and to take the appropriate action.

1. Great Point - thank you

if Rove et al was emailing back and forth with the RNC or with RNC employees on their home computers - one can go after the RNC side to get the emails. Someone needs to make this point to Waxman and Schumer asap - although they are probably already on the case on this point.
