Too Bad...
...they couldn't keep Walter Reed Hospital neat and orderly.

If only
If only I could get the users at my company to keep their inboxes that neat and tidy.

Neat and tidy
Karl Rove deleted 4 million emails to keep his in box clean?
I guess he missed the class on folders and archiving.
But maybe he's the smartest guy in the building. Pat Nixon kept telling Dick to burn the tapes.

Of course Karl, we believe you....
Ok....that's cool Karl... We believe you... now just hand over the computer to our data forensic expert and we'll call you. I know you want to to the right thing.

Committee to
Reaffirm American Principles (CRAP).
I do not believe him. 99% of the D’s and I’s (Independents) do not believe him.
But the good news for the Turd who Blossoms is that most of the Corporate Media and the Republican Kool-Aid drinkers will continue to give him a free pass:
Running Massacre?
January 17, 2007 3:31Posted by Jay Carney
That's how Josh Marshall over at Talking Points Memo describes a story that his blog and its offshoot, TPMMuckraker.com, have played a laudable role in uncovering: the resignations of more than a dozen United States Attorneys across the country...
It's all very suspicious-sounding. The provision smacks of a power-grab...It looks even worse when it turns out one of the "interim" US attorneys appointed by Alberto Gonzales is Tim Griffin...who worked in Karl Rove's shop at the White House and as director of research
Of course! It all makes perfect conspiratorial sense!
Except for one thing: in this case some liberals are seeing broad partisan conspiracies where none likely exist.

KKKarl
It's an axiom, a Newtonian law: if Rover speaks, it's a lie. Every time. Time for the impeacment hearings. Subpoena KKKarl's hard drive, his blackberries, his dingleberries. All of it. Under oath, on tee vee. Now.

In fairness to Mr. Jay Carney
He did admitt he was wrong. Sorta. Kinda.

Karl must sure give good head
How else would you explain why everyone is so protective of him?

Bush
will be gone by the end of the summer, all the BS in the world can't stop it now. It'll be the republicans that push him out, just like with old Tricky, becasue right now they are facing a meltdown of historic proportions in the House and the Senate, as well as Statehouses and Governor's mansions all across this great country of ours. Not to mention their frontrunning candidate for President is a Massachusetts flip flopper (can't wait to see what happens there). And he'll take President Cheney with him.

DOJ Dumps and RNC Backups
Today's DOJ document dump is of course screened and heavily redacted. The intent is to misdirect. The most incriminating documents are still being withheld by the DOJ, and zilch is coming from the White House. However, a few gems are emerging, for the DOJ screening clerks are somewhat inept and sloppy. Some of the redactions can be read by zooming the .pdf documents out to 400%.
In the TPM comment threads some IT professionals are providing excellent guidance for investigators. I trust that Congressional staffers are taking advantage of it. The best gem today was a replay by "KF" of an anonymous, but credible, quote from a WaPo comment thread. This one is very, very important. Here is the original link:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn/comments/display?contentID=AR2007041202408&start=121
"Having actually worked inside the very-well managed RNC computer room, I know for a fact there exists documented standard operating procedures which include real-time backup, redundant servers and offsite storage for disaster recovery purposes. Further, It is not credible that Karl Rove, a political functionary, has admin level access to the RNC email servers. He may have emptied his RNC email inbox, but there are numerous copies of the original messages and accompanying transaction logs."

Senator Leahy, Representative Conyers and their staffs need to glom on to this nugget like a dog on a ham bone. Follow the backups/archives. They surely exist--not only at the RNC, but also at DOJ, the White House, secure off-site locations, and the National Archives. The IT professionals at each of these entities will know where the backups/archives are stored.
The investigators need to secure depositions from these IT professionals. Quickly. Thoroughly. Insistently. And simultaneously the committees need to subpoena the data backups and have computer forensics experts make verified legal images of them for indexing and scrutiny.

Seen Karl Rove's Garage?
A few months ago Karl was caught, literally, with his garage door open. It was on the evening news. What a mess. Any attempt by Karl to do some "cleaning" was purely intentional. It was great footage as Karl was embarrassed and tried to pull the door down to hide the ladder and clutter. I think his emails just may be up in the rafters.

It's not the inbox
That's a misdirection to say he was just keeping his inbox clean. Most of us clean out our inboxes. I've had employers that automatically delete mail after a certain date. It's not about the inbox. It's about the servers. Mail servers hold the archives, the traces of deleted mail, and because of legal requirements regarding evidence discovery and lawsuits, and just the desire to back up their own cases, every organization keeps everything. They have backup servers, stoage servers, tape backups, even sometimes off-site storage in case of disaster of the non-political kind. If the RNC or White House really lost all that e-mail, they were trying. They were deleting from servers, reformatting hard drives, running magnets over them, and maybe smashing them with axes. Even if we never get the missing e-mail, someone ordered the destruction of the servers and archives in order to comit obstruciton of justice. Trace that to the White House, and they're still going down.

When one deletes an e-mail, (at least on my server)
one has to select it, and then hit the delete key. That places the "deleted" mail into a Delete Folder. Then, you have to open the Delete Folder and re-select the e-mail once again and then hit delete. A message box appears and asks if you are sure you want to permanently delete the selected message(s). If you say yes it deletes it a “second” time.
Then if you have "bone-headed out" and unintentionally twice deleted a message you should not, or did not want to "permanently delete" you have an opportunity to call the network server and ask if they can retrieve the message. 100% of the time they are retrievable. So Darth Rove is a liar as is his lawyer (big surprise). Even if Darth is that incompetent and stupid (and school is still out on that one), the deleted e-mails are there, somewhere. So the truth be told he could not have mistakenly deleted anything. Are the Press Corpse so entangled with a spot at the W.H. Buffet that they don't know at least as much as a e-mail challenged older guy like me to ask these questions? How about an essay in the NY Times to explain this to an electronically like-challenged population (my dad, for example) who wouldn't know an e-mail from a fake diamond, but can equate a liar to the “story” if given the facts.
These bastards count on ignorance to spin their hate and fear. Bring it out for an airing…oh and pass the baloney.
