In a startling new revelation, CREW has also learned through two confidential sources that the Executive Office of the President (EOP) has lost over five million emails generated between March 2003 and October 2005. The White House counsel's office was advised of these problems in 2005 and CREW has been told that the White House was given a plan of action to recover these emails, but to date nothing has been done to rectify this significant loss of records.
Melanie Sloan, executive director of CREW, said today, "It's clear that the White House has been willfully violating the law, the only question now is to what extent? The ever changing excuses offered by the administration Ð that they didn't want to violate the Hatch Act, that staff wasn't clear on the law - are patently ridiculous. Very convenient that embarrassing - and potentially incriminating - emails have gone missing. It's the Nixon White House all over again."
You know it is almost embarrassing how clumsy this administration is in trying to trick all of us into believing that they have done nothing wrong. It is almost like watching your three year old, with a face smeared with chocolate, tell you the he has no idea what happened the Easter candy.
Except your three year old is cute as a button and probably not sending Americans overseas to die in an illegal war. I have somewhat less sympathy for these assholes.
I am starting to believe that we may actually be able to charge this administration with treason. I know that the right wing is always throwing that word around and have made it seem like an empty threat but I think that it truly applies to this administration. They have lied, and broken virtually every single rule that applies to running the government of this country.
Surely there must be an appropriate punishment for all of this!
I've been amazed over the years at the willingness of the sheep to overlook just about anything... perhaps the sensation of getting ass****** blinds them to lesser issues?
