US Attorneys and missing Emails

Froomkin talks at length about the rambling, inconsistent missing email defense offered by Scott Stanzel in a press conference call.

Pat Leahy tears into the administration and the DoJ. (Full video and transcript.)

The Senate Judiciary Committee followed up with more subpoenas.

Rumors of a Sen. Domenici retirement denied by his office as they point to his campaign funds. (But, let's remember that campaign funds can be converted into defense funds, so fundraising doesn't really mean much. Cunningham, Ney, and Delay all fundraised after their scandals came out.)

Kyle Sampson is quietly heading back to the Hill for followup interviews. (New questions about new documents?)

Gonzales is set to testify next Tuesday. If they're going to pull the plug before that, it'll probably be tomorrow.

(I've got a big post on the missing emails below.)

And, Worse than Nixon. Many people are comparing these missing emails to the missing 18 minutes of White House tapes, but Isee a different and even less flattering comparison.

In Watergate, the Republicans in office broke into the Democratic Party Headquarters to steal information.

This current group of numbnuts have created a situation where they might have to turn Republican Party servers over to the Democrats in Congress passing more information than Nixon could have ever dreamed of.

I don't see a server seizure as likely, but how incompetent is that?
