Investigation Uncovers ‘Extensive Destruction’ Of RNC Emails, Violations Of Records Act

[EV_Ares]

House investigators have learned that the Bush administration’s use of Republican National Committee email accounts is far greater than previously disclosed — 140,216 emails sent or received by Karl Rove alone — and that the RNC has overseen “extensive destruction” of many of the emails, including all email records for 51 White House officials.

For the last several months, the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee has been “investigating whether White House officials violated the Presidential Records Act” by using email accounts maintained by the RNC and the Bush-Cheney ‘04 campaign for official White House communications. Today’s findings confirm that the accounts were used “for official purposes, such as communicating with federal agencies about federal appointments and policies.” The report adds:

Given the heavy reliance by White House officials on RNC e-mail accounts, the high rank of the White House officials involved, and the large quantity of missing e-mails, the potential violation of the Presidential Records Act may be extensive.

3. and impeachment is still off the table

This whole republican congress is nothing but an ongoing criminal enterprise. Pure and simple. It's time to declare the whole administration as enemy combatants and a threat to our national security and our Constitution.

How much more, Congress, how much more? Are you going to wait for the suspension of elections & congress and declaration of Martial Law due to the next "terrorist attack" on our Country, then wring your hands and wonder why you didn't do more when you had the chance? ACT NOW DAMMIT!!! Your friggin' powder is dry enough! Start blasting down the aspens!
