Audit details huge gap in missing White House documents Published: 05/18/2000

With Congress planning more hearings into the White House's cover-up of a huge gap in subpoenaed e-mail, it's no wonder that the nation's chief executive says he avoids using e-mail.

At least that's what he told a 9-year-old boy when the lad asked him how he uses the Internet last month during a "digital divide" photo-op.

"If you work for the government," President Clinton explained, "you don't use e-mail very much unless you want it all in the newspapers."

Of course, Clinton was making a joke at his own expense.

In February, a former White House computer manager blew the whistle on a massive e-mail "cover-up," a scandal that could hold keys to several other White House scandals -- from Clinton-Gore fund-raising abuses to stockpiled FBI dossiers to perjury and obstruction-of-justice charges stemming from the Paula Jones sexual-harassment lawsuit.

For nearly two-and-a-half years, the White House has hidden from investigators a gaping hole in e-mail records under subpoena. "Project X," as it was called by secretive White House officials, involves the curious omission from archives of some million e-mails and attached documents sent mainly to the West Wing from sources central to various probes.

The sources, all outside the White House, include Democratic National Committee officials and Clinton mistress and former White House intern, Monica Lewinsky. The gap in West Wing e-mail archives starts sometime in August 1996 and ends Nov. 20, 1998.

Case in point: Media darling Bill Clinton. It was Judicial Watch that discovered that Clinton White House emails disappeared during his administration. In fact, thousands of messages, including those from the office of Vice President Al Gore, were not properly recorded to begin with and are irretrievable.

Sheryl Hall, the Clinton White House computer expert who alerted us about this scandal, deserves kudos for bravely coming forward. Also brave was Clinton administration contractor whistleblower, Betty Lambuth, who discovered in 1998 that about 100,000 emails had not been preserved by a back-up system that was designed to store them in a single, searchable database.

It turns out the so-called backup system was missing mail from about 500 White House officials. Top Clinton White House officials used threats and intimidation to keep this scandal, including court testimony documents, from going public. These threats also kept the problem from being fixed and resulted in more lost emails.

All of this led to top Clintonites testifying under oath in federal court and criminal and congressional investigations. But this all seems to have fallen down the memory hole.

She was around during Watergate. Guess she figured out better to delete and destroy than answer for it.

As far as Obama is concerned, it proves the Limbaugh Theorem.
