White House abusing law

Why are we not surprised about White House officials breaking the law? That's the only thing they know.

From a report at Capitol Hill Blue:

The Bush Administration knowingly and openly violated the law by deleting email records for 51 White officials who had email accounts with the Republican National Committee.

A report issued Monday by the House Oversight Committee says the White House eliminated the email records to thwart a Congressional investigation into overt political activity by the White House.

The House investigation also found the White House lied about the number of staff members with the illegal RNC email accounts and deliberately concealed details on usage of the accounts.

The actions, the report concluded, are "extensive violations" of the federal law that requires preservation of White House records.
