Where are the prosecutors, Massachusetts? Where are the reporters? Where are the courts?
Oh, wait. It's just another day in rethuglican politics.

http://thinkprogress.org/politics/2011/11/21/373627/romney-admits-recordsdestruction/

Last week, a Boston Globe investigation uncovered that former Gov. Mitt Romney’s administration destroyed emails, purchased hard drives, and otherwise obliterated all digital records of his time as governor of Massachusetts. This happened as Romney was leaving the state to campaign for president (the first time), and observers immediately speculated that the systematic destruction was politically motivated to hide embarrassing data.

Romney and his campaign have so far denied this, with the candidate saying this weekend in New Hampshire that his staff took the highly unusual step of purchasing their work hard drives because they might contain “confidential and private” information. Meanwhile, he’s made calls for greater White House transparency a part of his campaign message.

But in a fairly stunning admission today during an interview with the editorial board of the Nashua Telegraph in New Hampshire, Romney suggested that his administration deleted emails because they didn’t want “opposition research teams” to have access to them:

He DESTROYED STATE RECORDS. What is he hiding? Mitt, Y U No accountable?

6. Republicon occultism, such as this
usually gets a pass from the corporate media (R).

The so-called media (R) lets Republicons hide all kinds of ugly eeleetist anti-democratic shit.
