April 13-15, 2007 -- WMR is going to press in an early edition to bring light to the matter of the e-mails between White House and Justice Department concerning the firings and possible attempted firings of US Attorneys for political purposes. The e-mails were sent on e-mail accounts run by the Republican National Committee. The RNC is claiming that many, if not all, of the e-mails subpoenaed by the Congress may have been deleted.

The RNC's web site (RNC.ORG) is hosted by SMARTECHCORP.NET. Relevant whois data is:

All relevant e-mails sent to and from the RNC should be held by Smartechcorp or whoever stores their backup media, possibly Iron Mountain, Pennsylvania. Congress should subpoena these backups before they are tampered with.

As for GEORGEWBUSH.COM, the same website provider, Smartechcorp, was used:

Congress should likewise subpoena Smartechcorp and/or its backup for all relevant e-mails to and from the Bush-Cheney 04 Campaign headquarters in Arlington, Virginia.

April 13-15, 2007 -- More on E-mailgate. Once Congressional investigators, with subpoenas in hand secure, the servers located at all the elements involved with White House e-mails, including Smartechcorp, the process of un-deleting files can begin. The files are marked for deletion but are not removed until the space is required for a new file, which then overwrites the old information. The sooner the devices are impounded the more information will be retrieved (i.e., a race against writing to the disk). Also the e-mails are stored locally on the recipient's computer. These can be scrutinized with the same un-delete method. If it's a UNIX (the most likely, by far) system then there will be a set of user histories which will identify all user activity which can incriminate anyone tampering with the data. That will be a handy record for future indictments for obstruction of justice. [Thanks to WP in Florida for the aforementioned].

And if the hard drives were reformatted? That's a bit more than just negligence.

Software exists to recover info after a reformat.

Anyone wonder whether the NSA has any of these emails?

I didn't know that. How does it work?

They have everyone else's, why not?

NPR blows US Attorneys story wide open

by smintheus [Subscribe] Fri Apr 13, 2007 at 03:25:20 PM PDT

All Things Considered (NPR) moments ago aired a blockbuster of a story by Ari Shapiro, who said that he had sources with access to the White House who blew the Bush administration's cover story on the firing of the US Attorneys. The plan originated with Karl Rove, and his idea was to fire all the US Attorneys in order to conceal the fact that the mass firing was meant specifically to get rid of just a few of them.

From NPR:

NPR now has new information about that plan. According to someone who's had conversations with White House officials, the plan to fire all 93 U.S. attorneys originated with political adviser Karl Rove. It was seen as a way to get political cover for firing the small number of U.S. attorneys the White House actually wanted to get rid of. Documents show the plan was eventually dismissed as impractical.

If true, that will fundamentally alter the nature of this scandal.

The NPR report also adds the following new information:

In a letter Thursday, White House Counsel Fred Fielding told Congress he won't budge from his original offer — to let Congress interview White House staffers privately, with no oath or transcript.

Sources tell NPR that Fielding actually wants to negotiate with Congress about how the interviews will take place. But Fielding has not been able to persuade President Bush to go along.

That suggests that Fielding at least is beginning to feel desperate. And well he should.

There's an audio link to the full report by Shapiro here.

Update [2007-4-13 20:52:43 by smintheus]: It's worth remembering that one month ago, even as their first set of lies were coming unstuck regarding the origin of the idea for the firings, Rove and the White House were playing it coyly.

Rove went out to a college audience to get into circulation one hell of a lie about his role. It looked like he was trying to 'muddy things up' a little. From Lara Jakes Jordan of the Associated Press:

The White House maintains that Rove remembers first hearing about the idea to replace all 93 prosecutors from Harriet Miers, a top White House aide designated at the time to follow Gonzales as the president's counsel. "He has not said who the idea originated with,'' White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said Thursday evening.

But earlier Thursday, Rove told journalism students in Alabama that the decision to fire each prosecutor "was made at the Department of Justice on the basis of policy and personnel.''

Hmmm..."remembers first hearing about the idea to replace all 93..." There's plenty of wiggle room in that statement, especially since Rove was officially refusing to be drawn about "who originated" the idea. "Hearing" about a specific version of the plan, and "originating" the idea, are not necessarily the same thing.

In any case, Rove was so deeply interested in the outcome of discussions that he was rushing the matter along very early in 2005.

In a message on Jan. 6, 2005, Colin Newman, a White House lawyer, wrote to David Leitch, another lawyer in his office: "Karl Rove stopped by to ask you (roughly quoting) 'how we planned to proceed regarding U.S. Attorneys, whether we were going to allow all to stay, request resignations from all and accept only some of them or selectively replace them, etc.'"

The email was titled "Question from Karl Rove". Pushing the lawyers for answers. That's the sort of thing you'd associate with a person who has originated the plan. It's a little harder to picture Rove popping in to check up on the progress of a proposal originated by Miers or DoJ.

No wonder he'd rather be in Portland, OR.

Software exists to recover info after a reformat.

I don't *think* it's so much "software" that exists. It might be more like special hardware.

Current hard drives are funny things. In the digital age, the tiniest bit of information is either a 1 or a 0, and combinations of 1's and 0's make up larger numbers and characters.

I understand the HD data to be like this:

We're used to each of these 1 or 0 bits in digital medium, like a light switch, being 100% in the on position or 100% in the off position but when you get down to the disks and how they work, it's not quite like that. The first time a bit is set to 1, it's like a magnetic charge is set but the resulting charge might only be 90% of it's capacity. If you set it to 1 again, it's still considered a 1 but the charge might be 92%. Subsequent charges increase the strength of the charge by smaller amounts but if anything over, say, 70% strength is considered a one, then as far as the computer is concerned nothing has changed -- 90, 92,93 percent it doesn't matter. Anything over 70 is a "1".

In reformating a HD a single time, the charge might be reduced to say, 10% where a one existed and maybe 6% where a zero existed. Since anything under 70% (or whatever -- I'm just picking numbers out of the air) is a zero, the computer considers them all zeros. So for formating purposes, 10% or 8 or 6% are all "0".

BUT...

Take that same HD and hook it up to a sensitive reader, and it could spit out the actual strengths of each charge or bit, and infer from them whether they were likely a 1 or a zero prior to the last format. By doing that, it's possible to glean info from a formated drive. Would it be a perfect recovery of everything? Probably not but maybe 90% of the data would be accurate.

There is a linux command, I don't remember the name but it might be "shread" which when used to remove a file, overwrites the hd space quite thoroughly to prevent the possibility of this kind hacking.

On Windoz vs Linux, Linux is constantly working with an HD and it is easier to "undelete" a file from Windows than linux. I don't even know any command to do it in linux, while I had a 3rd party undelete program for the old MS DOS machines. I think it's less likely that data can be salvaged from a linux system than a windows system, but I think there is software that can be run on a windows system to overwrite data that's deleted automatically.

Re: linux history files, they exist for normal console tinkering where commands are typed at a prompt, but I'm not familiar with any for normal email transmitting and receiving outside of normal log files. But it's always possible something like that could be set up.
