Justice Dept. Responds to Senate Subpoena

<--Click here to enlarge.

Here is the the DOJ's response to the Senate. From TPMmuckraker:

And the results? (pdf) Underwhelming. The Department searched the email accounts of sixteen Justice Department officials over the period of November 1, 2004 through May 2, 2007. All they found, according to the letter from Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Richard Hertling, was a single email sent on February 28, 2007 forwarding a copy of McClatchy's bombshell story on U.S. Attorney for New Mexico David Iglesias.


Hertling added in the letter that the Department is continuing to search for relevant documents.
Hertling also revealed that Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald also didn't have any relevant documents. Fitzgerald, remember, obtained a number of Rove's emails as part of the Valerie Plame investigation. But

Hertling said that Fitzgerald had only obtained emails relevant to the Plame investigation -- not all of Rove's emails. And none of what Fitzgerald has, Hertling says, is relevant to the U.S. attorney firings.

Commentary: Fitzgerald shouldn't had gotten any emails pertaining to the USA sacking scandal. His case had to do the CIA Leak not USA firings. Also, what Hertling did not answer is this: What happened to the missing emails that were between the dates of March 2003 and October 2005 which were relevant to Fitzgerald's CIA Leak investigation according to the CREW???
