In reply to the discussion: When Karl Rove deleted 22 million White House emails and the media yawned. [View all]Loki
(3,830 posts)and he wrote a book Fortunate Son: George W. Bush and the making of an American President, somehow managed to get himself suicided in a hotel room, and thus help ruin the career of Dan Rather. There are bodies that Karl Rove is
responsible for littered throughout Texas and elsewhere and yet we can only focus on emails that perhaps weren't included in the release. If anyone here had any knowledge about the way that records are treated by the National Archives and Records Administration (my son actually works for an agency under DHS that stores these records) they would be greatly surprised. I think even Rachel had a program regarding just how inefficient and outdated this system is. Hell, I've had three email servers over the past 6 years, and I doubt very seriously if I could recover half of them. One thing jumped out at me during this "so called" investigation was that emails were sent with information that at some point after it was sent, it was determined to be sensitive after the fact. That's like changing the law, then arresting you ex post facto. Our government is willingly and woefully underfunded in this area, and there is a definite reason for it. How else would you protect yourself from investigation (and I don't mean Hillary) than to make it impossible to track anything pertaining to your position by keeping the government agencies unable to maintain even the easiest records to archive. They are successfully allowing our government to drown in a bathtub, it makes it so much easier for them to carry out their witch hunts.
