Reply #1: from the Leahy subpoena [View All]

Rove's "understanding starting very, very early in the administration was that those e-mails were being archived," said Rove attorney Luskin.

The prosecutor probing the Valerie Plame spy case saw and copied all of Rove's e-mails from his various accounts after searching Rove's laptop, his home computer, and the handheld computer devices he used for both the White House and Republican National Committee, Luskin said.

The prosecutor, Patrick Fitzgerald, subpoenaed the e-mails from the White House, the committee and Bush's re-election campaign, he added.

"There's never been any suggestion that Fitzgerald had anything less than a complete record," Luskin said.

Any e-mails Rove deleted were the type of routine deletions people make to keep their inboxes orderly, Luskin said. He said Rove had no idea the e-mails were being deleted from the server, a central computer that managed the e-mail.

Can someone explain this too me
Did Fitz have the record or not?


April 25, 2007, I asked you whether you would provide Karl Rove’s e-mails in the possession of the Justice Department to the Committee without a subpoena. His lawyer stated publicly that these emails, many of which have been reported “lost”, were turned over to U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald as part of the investigation into the leak of the identity of a covert CIA officer by officials in the Administration that led to the conviction of I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby. You responded at the hearing that you did not know but would check and get back to me. I have not heard back from you since in response to my question or the letter.


It looks to me like Fitz is going to make a trip again to Congress soon


No comment from Fitz's office??? wonder why
