Up to 225 days of White House e-mail lost »
Posted By ameliog 10 months, 2 weeks ago in News
The White House is missing as many as 225 days of e-mail dating back to 2003 and there is little if any likelihood a recovery effort will be completed by the time the Bush administration leaves office, according to an internal White House draft document obtained by The Associated Press.

Congress will express the People's outrage by maybe holding a hearing or passing a meaningless resolution.

The Clinton Couple snuck into the White House in the dead of night to delete various E-Mails referencing Bush finding WMD's (by himself, at that!!!) in Iraq, actually being the man who pulled Saddam out of the spider hole and, on top of all of that, Cheney finding and killing Osama Bin Laden personally, but not informing anyone because that would make a martyr of him. The Clinton Couple knew that, in comparison, they would look silly when all these documents were released after Bush left office, so they destroyed all the e-mails...
Or, ya know, the Clinton's might have not been involved at all. But who'd believe that??? We ALL know anything bad that happens is the fault of Bill or Hill.

Surprised? Yes and no. As improbably as it seems, a huge volume of email can be located on one server. So are we talking a plethora of errors (suggestive of intentional deletions), or just one or two major problems with one server?

I've had two years' work disappear on a backup server when the IT guys did "maintenance." The stuff was there on Friday, gone on Monday. My only saving grace is that it was my backup. There was no restoration possible.
Still...it's hard to imagine that fail-safe backups would not be the norn in any sensitive federal installation.-

The Federal goverment uses RAIDS. The only way this information could have been 'lost' was intentional. If you read the article covering this and other articles covering the same topic, you'll read about how they intentionally over-wrote the multiple back up tapes on specific dates under investigation.

Plus they violated the laws by setting up their own external mail server for use by the executive branch which oddly enough also suffered a loss of information.

When most of the emails that were "lost" dealt with conversations that Congress had asked the executive branch to provide for investigative purposes, then the reasonable assumption is that their erasures were deliberate. And why would we trust the white house and the executive branch's commitment to retrieving this information when their veracity have not been very stellar.

It's a reasonable assumption -- you're correct. When all the erasure dates and missing times surround investigations it's a reasonable assumptino that a crime was committed. The problem is that you can't prove it. Which is what the criminals in the White House count on.

Not surprising. This administration is a disgrace. Why anyone would consider continuing it by voting for McCain is beyond me.

Let me get this straight, the White House is hiring people to "find" the emails the White House "lost"? So they delete a bunch of emails and overwrite the incriminating backups, then hire people to see if they missed anything under the pretense that they want to find and provide it? My guess is if they do find something, that something will quickly become nothing and the contractor will get a reasonable bonus. That is, if they don't hire those they think are the most incompetent in order to make it appear that they're looking for the emails.

And why would they hire competent people? That would go against their principles of incompetence.
