Henry Waxman Sends Letters to Republican National Commitee and Bush/Cheney ‘04 Campaign (9:03 am)

Jesse Lee at The Gavel reports

Citing evidence that senior White House officials are using RNC and other political email accounts to avoid leaving a record of official communications, Oversight Committee Chairman Henry Waxman sent letters today to the Republican National Committee and the Bush-Cheney ’04 Campaign directing them to preserve the emails of White House officials and to meet with Committee staff to explain how the accounts are managed and what steps are being taken to protect the emails from destruction and tampering. As noted this morning, such emails were sent in connection to the resignations of US Attorneys, but as Chairman Waxman’s letters note, they were used in other circumstances as well.

Maybe they should just get hotmail accounts like the rest of us.

It would suck to have all of your correspondence scrutinized by people who are trying to prove you did something wrong. It must suck bigtime to be in politics today. It is so much more fun to torment them than to actually attempt to improve anything!
