When Congress asked about 5 million executive branch e-mails that went missing, a White House lawyer pointed the finger at an outside IT contractor.
The only problem? No such IT contractor exists, according to sources close to the investigation of a possible violation of the Federal Records and Presidential Records acts.
White House Office of Administration (OA) Deputy General Counsel Keith Roberts told the House Oversight Committee on May 29 that "an unidentified company working for the Information Assurance (IA) Directorate of the Office of the Chief Information Officer was responsible for daily audits of the e-mail system and the e-mail archiving process," according to committee chair Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif. That briefing came about after it was confirmed by the White House in April that millions of e-mails had vanished from Executive Office of the President (EOP) archives from 2003-2005.
You know the thing that pisses me off more then just about anything else is how many of these "smoking guns" turn up, and yet the Bush administration continues on with business as usual. The lies, the crimes, the corruption, have absolutely no effect.
If this were a Democrat in office you can bet your ass he would have been impeached, re-impeached, and tri-impeached. Why can't the Democrats grow a damn spine and take this fucker out?
