Thousands of White House E-mails Deleted

Posted by Zonk on from the they-have-also-misplaced-their-homework dept.

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."

    Is anyone surprised in the slightest?

    He's the 43rd US President, and his initials are gwb - hence gwb43.

    I'm sure you were trying to be funny, and some mods will mod you as such, but that doesn't mean your post was actually funny.
