So the White House has received a court order from the Supreme Court saying that they have to preserve ALL their emails.  Because, well, they just misplaced 5 million emails, according to an NPR Story. 

Oh wait, let me be clear.  When asked for these emails, at first the White House said they were lost.  Then the White House claimed that those emails are actually priviledged.  Now the White House has indicated that the emails have “gone missing”.

These 5 million emails are all from the time between March 2003 and October 2005.  You know, periods in time when the White House was dealing with things such as Hurricane Katrina, the US Attorney Firings, and the Ideological Prosecutions occuring nationwide. 

Even more incriminating is that most of these emails were purportedly sent on private Republican National Committee (RNC) email accounts, which many individuals in the White House were conducting White House business over.  Not a pretty picture.

It’s also been said that the RNC  was using Blackberries to avoid Federal archiving laws. 

It isn’t just Republicans who have managed to subvert the public disemmination of email.  The Clintons requested that this information remain private as well.  However, they did not delete the information - merely requested that emails between Bill and Hilary are not made public.  I certainly hope that doesn’t amount to 5 million emails.

Now they have a court order to save them.  Will that make a difference?
