Missing White House e-mails may have violated law, panel says
By Ron Hutcheson | McClatchy Newspapers



WASHINGTON — Presidential adviser Karl Rove sent more than 140,000 e-mails

through the Republican National Committee's computer system, circumventing a federal law intended to guarantee the preservation of presidential records, House of Representatives investigators have concluded.

While 88 White House aides used the back-channel system, Rove was its biggest user at the White House, and more than half of his communications dealt with official business, according to an interim report by the House Oversight Committee.

The White House initially had said that about 50 presidential aides used the Republican Party e-mail system to avoid sending political messages improperly through the White House system, which is supposed to be reserved for official government business.

"We've seen a number of times right now where people have been putting together investigations to see what sticks. They have had very little success so far. This is an administration that is very careful about obeying the law," he said.

1. Oh Tony...

Score another lame one for "catapulting" the spin.
