But....He did it first!
The Emails that Cheney Deleted
By Scott Horton January 22, 2008, 8:26 am
Late last week, right after official White House spokesmen made a series of either evasive or completely false statements about the mysterious case of the vanishing, then reappearing, then perhaps no really vanished White House emails, Henry Waxman and his Oversight Committee announced some of the conclusions they had reached. Dan Eggen and Elizabeth Williamson published an account of it on Friday in the Washington Post:
The White House possesses no archived e-mail messages for many of its component offices, including the Executive Office of the President and the Office of the Vice President, for hundreds of days between 2003 and 2005, according to the summary of an internal White House study that was disclosed yesterday by a congressional Democrat.
The 2005 study — whose credibility the White House attacked this week — identified 473 separate days in which no electronic messages were stored for one or more White House offices, said House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Henry A. Waxman (D-Calif.).
Waxman said he decided to release the summary after White House spokesman Tony Fratto said yesterday that there is “no evidence” that any White House e-mails from those years are missing. Fratto’s assertion “seems to be an unsubstantiated statement that has no relation to the facts they have shared with us,” Waxman said. The competing claims were the latest salvos in an escalating dispute over whether the Bush administration has complied with long-standing statutory requirements to preserve official White House records — including those reflecting potentially sensitive policy discussions — for history and in case of any future legal demands.
Waxman said he is seeking testimony on the issue at a hearing next month from White House counsel Fred F. Fielding, National Archivist Allen Weinstein and Alan R. Swendiman, the politically appointed director of the Office of Administration, which produced the 2005 study at issue.
Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington has now posted a series of studies to help us zero in on just what’s missing. It will come as no surprise to most that the big offender is the man at the center of the most virulent scandals, and the missing email traffic relates just to those dates in which a federal prosecutor would have the most interest. Vice President Cheney’s office destroyed its emails, in violation of the requirements of the federal records act and potentially criminal law, for the following days....

I guess transparency is important for Democrats only? Why was there no outrage, why no calls for investigations? Why no Impeachment Hearings?
was cheney using a private, unmonitored server?
discretion is the better part of valor.
Bush and Cheney got away with it, HRC may not be so lucky. so much the worse for her.
iow, the Repugs are fabricating another controversy trying to bring down the Dem overwhelming favorite for the Presidency
Benghazi!
Vince Foster!
Christcards!
Whitewater!
Benghazi! (which I'm absolutely positive the Repugs will bring up closer to the election)
^----- Republicans don't need to fabricate anything, she's been a dishonest sleaze her entire political life.
Its the Democrats that are gonna dump her, Boo.
It is gonna be a Biden/Warren ticket.
It won't be the emails that sink her. She's just not that likeable, tbh.
the VRWC/Repugs have witch-hunted the Clintons for 25 years.
The ONLY issue, fake as Repug fabriccations go, now is the email. We'll see what the FBI says.
A big problem is that classification rules are all over the map, extremely vague. Your venerated war hero Cheney RE-classified Ms of do ents that had been public for decades.
And Hillary's use of non-govt email service parallels Repugs doing the same thing, including DELETING Ms of emails.
iow, B E N G H A Z I !
And the Repugs/right-wing-hate-media have done the same to their Muslim terrorist non-Christian foreigner n!gg@. Remember than national catastrophe of his "crotch salute"? "terrorist fist bumping"? "Ayres"
all you rightwingnuts and your Repug asshole politicians to . You'll be welcome back when you actually want to govern the country.
So in other words, Shillary is Cheney with a vagina? Yet another reason why she belongs nowhere near the White House under any cir stances.
Cheney probably shouldn't run for president. This could haunt him.
Real talk... Cheney already served two terms as President. He was calling all the shots.
