'Extensive Destruction' Of White House E-mails Found A preliminary report from the House Oversight Committee finds "extensive destruction" of e-mails sent from the White House on RNC accounts. The panel, led by Chairman Henry Waxman, also found that "at least 88" White House officials past and present used RNC e-mail accounts. The administration originally said only "a handful" of such accounts existed, and later said the number was "50 over the course of the administration." In his noon briefing, press secretary Tony Snow dismissed the idea that the e-mails were intentionally destroyed, but did concede that the 140,000 e-mails in Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove's RNC account was "a lot of e-mails." Using campaign accounts for official White House business and destroying administration records are violations of the Hatch Act and Presidential Records Act, respectively. The committee's report can be found here [PDF].

Well the Clintons did it too, so it isn't such a bad thing. /sarc A good techie could retrieve them all IMO.
LOL. Nooooo shit.
The illegal we do immediately. The Unconstitutional takes a little longer. - Henry Kissinger.
Only if Congress has the guts and capability to demand the actual hardware. If it hasn't already been disposed of somehow.
If it has been disposed of, that's prima facie evidence of obstruction of justice.
To reason, indeed, he was not in the habit of attending. His mode of arguing, if it is to be so called, was one not uncommon among dull and stubborn persons, who are accustomed to be surrounded by their inferiors. He asserted a proposition; and, as often as wiser people ventured respectfully to show that it was erroneous, he asserted it again, in exactly the same words, and conceived that, by doing so, he at once disposed of all objections. - Macaulay, "History of England," Vol. 1, Chapter 6, on James II.
Using the totally lacking in national security RNC accounts means they cannot claim these were classified emails. Hand 'em over traitors!
