After the amended Federal Rules of Civil Procedures were passed in December of 2006, all emails, communications, files, directives and requests that may be relevant to a current or future litigation cannot simply be deleted or overwritten. The data must be produced and thus it must be archived, because that's the law.
Remarkably, most business operators don't realize they must comply with the Federal Regulations on Civil Procedures, or FRCP. In this instance, ignorance is far from bliss. It could put you and your organization in serious legal trouble, if the requested electronically stored information (ESI) is not produced when requested by courts. In fairness, those that are aware of the need to archive fail to make the investment to put a proper archival process in place because of the perception that it's too complicated or too costly or too much trouble. The reality is if you can be sued in federal court, and that includes just about every individual and organization, you must archive and then be able to quickly and completely retrieve requested email communications. Another reality is your existing data storage systems, NAS and SAN solutions are not intended as a solution for archival, litigation holds, and eDiscovery.

obama’s administrative team doesn’t need to follow any stinkin’ laws. Those laws are only for the little people.
The emails are not lost. They are being withheld. Every time we acknowledge the premise that they are lost, we allow the perpetrators to define a false narrative which allows them to continue withholding the emails.
This just made me realize that this can be a twofer for them... The excuse that they lost the info.. AND.. MORE Internet intrusion laws to come FROM this >.<
My guess is that the whitehouse ran this story by Leaders of congress before they outed it. They are already assured by those leaders that they will get away with it.
They are lying through their teeth.
There are many, many copies off on a backup drive somewhere.
That's why it took a year for them to respond that the emails were "lost". They've been tracking down and deleting them from dozens of locations!
Enough already; take the b@$t@rd$ out back and shoot 'em!
Yeah, and Nixon’s secretary accidentally erased 18 minutes of the Watergate tapes, too.
