i’m sure google has a copy of those emails somewhere.

[Always Right]

Good. How about getting hard drives from Congress and dig through all their files and emails?

I’m amazed that anyone is amazed that hard drives are destroyed. I’d destroy them too.

I’m glad the lessons of Nixon’s office tapes have not been lost on the Bush Administration. This data would simply have been fodder for more wasted time by the lowest-rated Congress in modern history.

Care to get into any specifics?

Yo! Most of them are Clinton holdovers.. thank you Algore.
Take your embarassment to the next National Security Breach that compromises this nation more than the WaPo, NYT, PSMNBC
etc.

[frankjr]

I’m proud of them. I crack my old hard drives open and smash them with a hammer.

[Perdogg]

Denise Austin is hot for her age.

WTF??

If you own a busniess and you have anything to do with HIPPA rules (you do if you offer employess heath insurance) and you just throw your computer in the trash and it is discovered by a third party and turned into the Feds or State, you’d get the book thrown at you.

This administration is unbelievable. I’m ashamed at the level of corruption and damage GWB and his cronies has done to the Republican party.

What are you jabbering about? They cannot leave the hard drives around for every Hillary, Nancy and Harry to look through, copy, save, etc. For the sake of National Security the hard drives needed to be destroyed. They saved the e-mails. They said they destroyed the hard drives...did they also say they destroyed the back-ups? ;)

She used to serve in a similar fitness council role when GHW Bush was in office.. she’s probably mid 40 50ish now but looking good.

[mad_as_he$$]

I call BS. Somewhere there are servers with the messages stored. Old emails never die, they just wait to bite you on the a$$.
