White House E-mail Scandal Widens

Spamicles alerts us to a report just issued (PDF) by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. At least 88 White House officials used Republican National Committee email accounts for government business. The RNC has destroyed at least some of the emails from 51 of those officials. Law requires emails sent by officials to be stored or recorded. There is evidence that White House lawyers and the (current) Attorney General knew of this but did not act to stop it. From the article: "These e-mail accounts were used by White House officials for official purposes, such as communicating with federal agencies about federal appointments and policies... Given the heavy reliance by White House officials on RNC e-mail accounts, the high rank of the White House officials involved, and the large quantity of missing e-mails, the potential violation of the Presidential Records Act may be extensive."

    Note that the article said: "Democrats say". The fact of the matter is that this so much Democratic fish hunting.

    As if, they tell the truth.

    Democrats haven't even tried to keep the promises that they were elected in Nov 2006. They promised to end the war, and didn't. They promised to clean up earmarks, and they won't. Bottom line is, all you liberals that flocked to Democrats like zombies do to living brains have been had just as much as we conservatives were that ate the public line of the RNC.

    Idiots. Keep reading your MoveOn.org "press releases", er um, Propaganda, and drop your pants for Grandmaster Kos.

    According to the latest polls, 72% of us are convinced. The remaining 28% probably live in Jesusland and I'm not going down there to try and change their minds...

Will someone with the initials ML PLEASE give this president some oral sex so impeachment procedures can begin?

    "Does anyone besides me wonder if there's a peaceable solution to our differences? Sometimes I wonder if we're going to have to have it out with you and your kind to get our country back. How can we move forward when a third of the nation is okay treating the Constitution like it's just a piece of paper?"

    Well, except for liberals screaming down conservative speakers at universities (which legally sometimes veers into assault), and keying up and slashing the tires of SUVs (property crime), there isn't really that much actual violence going on in politics, just voter fraud. I'd say about 90% or so of the nation either have no idea what the Constitution says, or just don't care. That goes for Rep. Pelosi and Sen. Kennedy just as much as it does for President Bush and Sen. McCain.

    And no, I'm not suggesting that most or all liberals are using blackshirt tactics, just that you don't see conservatives shouting down President Clinton on his speaking tours, or damaging Volvos, Priuses, and Microbusen. True liberals that support freedom of speech and property rights don't do these things.

    They can bring up what they want. The Republicans should then bring out the things about Hillary & Bill like selling out to the ChiComms, renting the Lincoln Bedroom, etc. You can say all you want but Hillary was co-president and she made the calls on a lot of things. And Obama isn't as clean as snow. You want to play that game you'd better be damn sure you are clean, and I've yet to meet a 100% clean politician of ANY party.
