Committee Directs RNC to Preserve White House Emails
Citing evidence that senior White House officials are using RNC and other political email accounts to avoid leaving a record of official communications, Chairman Waxman directs the Republican National Committee and the Bush-Cheney ’04 Campaign to preserve the emails of White House officials and to meet with Committee staff to explain how the accounts are managed and what steps are being taken to protect the emails from destruction and tampering."

1. hehehehehe -- the beauty of this?

All those requests should be available, thanks to the NSA and the *requests* they made to look into people's emails.

3. Kaboom.

I think this could explode. Yet, after listening Brian Williams on Imus this morning, he thinks all of the oversight could be bad for the Dems! Poor Brian Williams. He actually has to report oversight. He acted like because the "average American" may not pay attention to all of the details, I guess there was no wrong doing.

Go Waxman!

[merh]

4. And what was watergate all about

the RNC break in for political purposes that involved the WH -- are these clowns so egotistical and sure of their domination that they just got so lazy they not only violated the law, they ignored it?

9. thom hartmann was just talking about this also

he said the RNC said they get rid of the emails after a short period--however, they were saving karl's in order to "protect" him.....

interesting they would save karls since karl probably wanted them deleted right away!

[merh]

11. I am sure under this admin's policy

regarding electronic surveillance, those emails are available, even the ones that were supposedly deleted -- you know, the patriot act and all of that.

5. Like to see Fitz making a request to the White House

to provide the emails on Wilson/Plame that occurred off the government email system.
