Ms. Woods was the secretary for Richard Nixon who 'inadvertantly' stretched way, way under her desk to hit a foot pedal to 'accidentally' erase 18 minutes of a critical Watergate tape.
So, now we can only wonder if anybody from BigTime's office has to stretch when they erase Emails?
Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald is raising the possibility that records sought in the CIA leak investigation could be missing because of an e-mail archiving problem at the White House.
The prosecutor in the criminal case against Vice President Dick Cheney's former chief of staff said in a Jan. 23 letter that not all e-mail was archived in 2003, the year the Bush administration exposed the identity of undercover CIA officer Valerie Plame.
Lawyers for defendant I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby this week accused prosecutors of withholding evidence the Libby camp says it needs to mount a defense.
"We are aware of no evidence pertinent to the charges against defendant Libby which has been destroyed," Fitzgerald wrote in a letter to the defense team.
But the prosecutor added: "In an abundance of caution, we advise you that we have learned that not all e-mail of the Office of Vice President and the Executive Office of the President for certain time periods in 2003 was preserved through the normal archiving process on the White House computer system." His letter was an exhibit attached to Libby's demand for more information from the prosecution.
Maybe Echalon has them.....And if it does, would Fitzgerald need a FISA warrant to get 'em?
Or, maybe he should just make like the Twig and ignore all that due process stuff to get what he wants.
Sheesh.
