Thousands of White House E-mails Deleted

kidcharles writes "The Washington Post reports that in the midst of an investigation by the U.S. Congress into the firing of eight U.S. Attorneys by the Department of Justice, numerous White House e-mails have been lost. Among them are communications from presidential adviser Karl Rove. Parallels are being drawn with the infamous '18 minutes' missing from the Nixon Watergate tapes. Also at issue is the use of Republican National Committee e-mail domains (such as gwb43.com and georgewbush.com) rather than the official White House domain. This is a violation of the Presidential Records Act."

It's not like Clinton did the same thing in the 90s...oh, wait...). None of this is any different than the Clinton administration. The first thing Clinton did when taking office was fire all the attorneys in the DOJ and replace them. There was also a nearly identical scandal over lost email. Same corruption, different people.

If there is to be any real change, people are going to have to stop voting for both Democrats and Republicans.
