“The White House said Saturday

By Nico Pitney on Apr 14th, 2007 at 2:34 pm

“The White House said Saturday

it is agreeing to the Senate Judiciary Committee’s request for how to choose someone to help recover some lost e-mails involving official presidential business.” But as David Kurtz notes, “The Senate gets to help pick who will find the emails but the White House still hasn’t agreed to let the Senate see the emails once they are found. Ah, compromise.”

    I believe there are several here among this blogging community who could find those e-mails.


  2. Jimbo says:

    no………. let all 5 million emails be seen, no back room deals or swindles
    to get the truth out… and anyone trying to pull a fast one…

    JUST
    TELL
    THEM

    STAY AT HOME, THAT WAY THE CORRUPTION/SCANDAL CAN BE
    CONTAINED, ENOUGH TO MAKE EVERYONE P**E THEM OUT OF
    OFFICE

    and with such a great idea i have for ethics reform, that’s the
    best it gets. tell those corrupted things just stay at home and
    stop complaining about working 2.5 of the 5 day work days


  3. Raven says:

    They have got to be spread around out there, anyone who finds them could put them up for all to see, thereby avoiding the white house determining who gets to see what…

  5. Briseadh na Faire says:

    And it will cost us taxpayers how much to recover that which should never have been “lost?”


  6. Jimbo says:

    Amen Sharon,

    The Democrats better get tough quickly, no more mister nice guy, because if all these crooks walk I will have a hard time voting for them. And I certainly don’t want to be an “independent.” I’ve seen member of that club, the Jakes and other trolls, and I don’t want to be part of that group.


  9. TomInMaine says:

    I smell a rat on this one.

    If the WH has agreed to have an independent come in to help recover the missing emails in all likelyhood the servers/hard drives that they resided on have been overwritten multiple times to make forensic recovery of those emails impossible.

    I believe the process to effectively destroy what resides on a hard drive for information is to overwrite the entire drive at least seven times. You can’t overwrite selectively which is probably the reason for the millions of emails reportidly come up missing.

    I hope I am wrong but will tell if those missing emails (especially Rove’s) ever get to see the light of day.

    IT’S CORRUPTED
    DUDE
    CORRUPTED
    OF COURSE IT’S ON THE HARD DRIVES :)
    BUT THE WHITEHOUSE PROBABLY ALREADY ORDERED A
    DUMPSTER AND DIPOSED OF ALL THEIR COMPUTERS TO
    GET NEW ONES

    THAT WAS PROBABLY WITH THAT RNC, PROBABLY WITH DELAY
    ABRAMHOFF, AND THE CUNNINGHAM SCANDAL AND KENNY BOY

    THE WHITE HOUSE DOESN’T CARE THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH
    WINDOWS XP PROFESSIONAL…. ALL GOES IN THE DUMPSTER…

    BECAUSE NOW THERE IS VISTA

    OH…. AND THE COST OF THIS WASTE…. WHAT’S MILLIONS WHEN THEY
    LEECH BILLIONS/TRILLIONS AND ACCORDING TO THEIR BUDGET IT’S
    WELL UNDER 1%

    ENOUGH TO MAKE YOU DOG GONE PUKE

    TOTAL
    CORRUPTION
    PARASITES
    LEECHES

    AND TELL THOSE BIRDS JUST TO STAY AT HOME ;) THEY WAY YOU CONTAIN
    CORRUPTION, BUT CONGRESS WOULDN’T DO THAT… YOU SCRATCH ME
    AND I SCRATCH YOU :) … BACKROOM DEALS DUDE BACKROOM DEALS :)


  11. Wretched Refuse says:

    Has anyone thought that maybe…
    ROve thought it was Okay to use NON-governmental nbank accounts to put the government’s money, just like it was OK to use non-gevernmental email accounts to do governmental business.
    I think the next two countries we need to invade are Switzerland, and the Cayman Islands. And “shake, shake, shake our looty” free of those corruption hiding numbered bank accounts.


  12. leftcoast says:

    #7- I agree! Time to send in the marshalls and end this lawlessness in thle White House.
    All 1700 workers for the administration should be locked out of their offices and all papers and computers siezed immediately.
    This IS the United States not the old Soviet Union.

    We may not get a vote for impeachment out of the Reps but at least those who do vote for impeachment can help us all say to the rest of the world that we are a nation of laws.


  13. Temper Tantrums says:

    We are coming for you Rove:

    ISBN 0 -671-89441-2

    I love you sooooooooooooooooooo!!

    Thank You Bush for all your Temper Tantrums. Can we have more, oh please?


  14. Jake Clone says:

    So? Bush is president, he can do want he wants.

    If Bush was caught putting cherry bombs up the butts of snowflake babies on government property during work hours, then I agree he ought to be impeached.


  15. Sharon says:

    So since you are a jake clone I guess you are o.k. with bull shit bush creating the Iraq genocide where over 650,000 innocent men,women and children have died that posed no threat , 3,300 of our own being killed, along with the Katrina neglect, walter reed disgrace, looting our treasury, cronieism, graft, greed, distruction of our constitution, just to name a few of their dreadful deeds.?….Hummm. /Another troll, maybe or just another name change.

    The Gettybush Address

    Four score and seven million lost Emails ago, our Forebushers brought forth on this continent a new regime, dedicated to the proposition that all Bush crime family members are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil discourse, testing whether that regime or any regime, so constipated and so daffy, can long endure…



  17. Daniel DiRito says:

    See a pithy tongue-in-cheek visual that skewers Karl Rove and the Bush administration’s disregard for accountability…here:
