Where have those emails gone? They no longer exist. They are but memories in the corrupt and festering minds of the administration's most devious and degenerate planners. They are mist slipping through the fingers of any decent American who wants to know what has been done to our country over the last six years.

We have a better chance of having a techno-remixed version of the missing 12 minutes of the Nixon tapes showing up on Top 40 Radio than we have of seeing those emails given to investigators.

The felons know what a paper trail can do. They know that recordings get listened to, letters get read. They know that if it is tangible it is admissable and they learned from the mistakes of the fallen. Gone are the days of Fawn Hall frantically shredding paper evidence. A couple swipes of an industrial magnet can do that job in seconds.

The simple fact is that thos RNC accounts should have been illegal. To pretend that the either the Republican or Democratic National Committees are not a part of the political process if the worst kind of willfull denial of fact. The same criteria that apply to the retention of .gov addresses should apply to these groups as well.

The thing that gets me is that, even as effective as this gambit obviously has been; it is a bush league (no pun intended) move. In this technological age there are far superior ways to have invisible communications between co-conspirators. They are lucky that the most industrious and politcally aware hackers in the world are too busy fucking with Microsoft to crack the RNC email system. Or the .gov system for that matter.

Hmm. Let me see. . .Didn't the Clinton administration start this model because the Repugs were screaming about the administation using government facilities for fundraising or campaigning? Something like that. So when there was any fundraising or campaigning going on, staff would use the special email not associated with the government.

O.k., that sounds good.

Now, this administration is using the same model. Except it sounds like their staff is spending 75% or 80% of its time DOING NOTHING BUT FUNDRAISING/CAMPAIGNING.

Congress, could you look into that? Oh wait, you've got a list a mile long of things wrong with this administration.

...can anyone imagine the howls of righteous outrage that would have issued from the lips of every Republican in Congress, had Bill Clinton and his administration been accused of doing even ONE-TENTH of what Dubya and friends demonstrably HAVE done?

My mind can't boggle any more than THAT. Just considering the GOP e-mail dodge alone, the fevered fantasies surrounding the crimes and perversions that MUST hide in imaginary deleted Clinton e-mails would be completely X-rated.

The silence of the GOP in Congress is absolutely deafening. I wonder -- is there any reason to believe that Republicans in the U.S. House and Senate didn't also enjoy secret RNC e-mail accounts? Have any similar Congressional RNC accounts been uncovered in surviving White House messages?

Sorry, teacher, the dog ate my e-mails.

The only way to REALLY eradicate an e-trail is to disassemble the hard drives and smash the platters with a hammer. And does it even come into play that would be illegal? Rove is guilty as hell on this one, initially by using outside ISPs to route e-mail, secondly by lying and destroying evidence. Was he not photographed leaving the ISP's office after this latest pile of shit hit the fan?

Can Karl Rove not be executed as treasonous scum based on existing circumstantially evidence?!

How much of a non-surprise is this latest revelation? Things like this are what gives shadow governments a bad name, I tellya.

Please, what's the next outrage from the Party of Personal Responsibility, the ones who vowed to bring accountability, honesty, and integrity back to shadow government? Baahah!

I'm telling you, the George W. Bush Presidential Library is going to be empty, except for his Mission Accomplished flight suit, Saddam Hussein's golden gun, maybe a few other trinkets. Their pathological secrecy and criminality has turned their administration into a gaping black hole, consuming everything in its path. History, memory, everything -- all null and void, the ultimate negation. Take that, reality-based community!

To bring articles of impeachment? Someone finding a tortured and dead human under the Oval Office desk? Yet another chunk of smoking gun evidence that irrefutably shows beyond a shadow of doubt that these aren't elected politicians hiding out at 1600 Penn Ave or other undisclosed locations, but rather a fraudulent pack of self-serving megalomaniacal jackals?

If Democrats don't start pinning these actions to each and every GOP rep in Congress, if their leaders can't make clear whether these reps stand for the flagrant and widespread obstruction of justice or for the founding principles and laws that supposedly govern this country, then they are as complicit and as guilty in my eyes as those whom they ultimately appease. I've heard enough about Executive privilege and so have the American people. What we haven't heard enough of is where and when the rule of law in this country started to apply only to a vast majority of people, but those who are more equal than others are allowed to skate.

No suprise here. Assume the worst and you will seldom be dissapointed.

My concern is towards the Senate Judiciary Committee. What are they going to do know? At a minimum, they should subpoena the RNC server. Get a computer specialist to see if the "missing" emails can be retreived. If they are "lost", it could only occur after a plan was executed to destroy them.

If this fails, go to the Iron Mountain, Pa. storge facility to see if any of these documents are there.

Finally, subpoena Karl Rove.

Guess the MSM feels this is a non story and will not be reporting on this any time soon. Too bad. They have essentially fiddled while Rome burned.

One tantalizing question: What did Alberto Gonzales know, and when did he know it? Waxman's staff cites evidence that the attorney general has known about the RNC e-mail accounts since at least 2001 but didn't stop White House officials from using them.

Even if he knew, wouldn't it take at least an ounce of competence and knowledge about the law to determine it's something they shouldn't be doing. You're giving the AG too much credit and not acknowledging he's in over his head and nothing more than a pawn with a rubber stamp.
