Huckabee's Gubernatorial Records Missing

Mother Jones: "There's a Mike Huckabee mystery that won't go away. Send a public records request seeking documents from his 12-year stint as Arkansas governor, as Mother Jones did recently, and an eyebrow-raising reply will come back: The records are unavailable, and the computer hard drives that once contained them were erased and physically destroyed by the Huckabee administration as the governor prepared to leave office and launch a presidential bid."

1. Is this the first time that a request was made by anyone?

2. Not according to the Mother Jones' article.

3. Why are government officials permitted to do whatever they want with govt records?

Why are government officials permitted to destroy government property such as computers when they leave office?


This should be a good attack on huckabee if he wins the nomination.
