Further complicating the picture in White House adviser Karl Rove's deleting of numerous e-mails, the Los Angeles Times reports today that the White House established a policy of saving emails related to official business and warned staff not to delete them in a number of instances.
According to an investigation by the LA Times, the White House took pains to establish a standard email handling procedures on a number of occasions. Among a set of employee manuals from 2001, a memorandum from former White House counsel and current Attorney General explains that "any e-mail relating to official business...qualifies as a presidential record."
Another manual reads, "If you happen to receive an e-mail on a personal account which otherwise qualifies as a presidential record, it is your duty to insure that it is saved as such by printing it out and saving it or by forwarding it to your White House e-mail account."
More on the story.

Hi Biloxi
Found you on Chicago's blog. I miss your blog, but found it again, so I can continue to come here for some informative reading.
Who does pork rind think he's lying to. From what I heard the Gov backs up their records every 12 hours. It's impossible to lose email, and damned near impossible to delete them. Extridition to Cuba would be a good place for the lying son of an illigitimate she dog.
Hello Geezerpower!
Busy weekend for me. I changed my blog website but the blog will not go away. As far as the WH claiming that they lost 5 million emails, give me a break. We know that emails from any server cannot automaticly disappear forever on a server. Congressional investigators needs to subpoena the RNC computer, any non-governmental email accounts, Blackberries, and cell phones. A caveman blind in one eye knows that the WH is using the stall tactic and BS.
