Purge Surge

Looks to me like GovTech may have scrubbed all reference to the White House from its site. If so, they forgot to rewrite the NewMedia site.

I theorize that the rewrite occurred when Patrick Fitzgerald tried to acquire emails relevant to the Plame inquiry in 2004-2006.

CREW has just revealed that no less than FIVE MILLION emails may have been scrubbed. (See the full CREW report here.) What does Mike Connell, Bush loyalist, know about this?

  Cannonfire article

Joe at Cannonfire has been getting deeper into this email business than other places I've been checking. He's been looking at the companies handling the servers and their connections to Bush. I'm too lazy. I'll just wait to see how it pans out in the investigations (and keep an eye on Joe).

What earns my disgust with the whole thing is how the White House plays the game. Just as in the "document dump", I can see the five million emails becoming a weapon in their arsonal for guarding their secrets. They dumped 3,000 documents on the investigating committee in one fell swoop when records were requested. Much of the information on those documents was blacked out, and now the committee has to ask for the records again, but unredacted. And the White House plays the martyr. 'We gave you three thousand documents. We're doing more than our part in complying with the investigation.'

Just wait till they dump three million emails, heavily redacted. 'What more do you want? Those darn Democrats playing partisan politics are just so unreasonable.'

They're patsies in my book.


....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
