Check Rove's Blackberry!






<--Here is your answer.


From the Examiner:

A House committee has sent a memo to federal agencies dictating how they should conduct a wide search for e-mails involving political appointees, White House adviser Karl Rove and other aides.


The memo from the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform provides a nine-step guidance on how Chairman Henry Waxman, D-Calif., wants bureaucrats to search six years' worth of e-mails.

"The search should include any e-mails received or sent by any covered agency official after January 20, 2001 and before April 12, 2007," says the two-page memo, a copy of which was obtained Monday by The Examiner.

Waxman's Democratic staffers earlier sent out a letter demanding e-mails, but agencies reported back that the request was unclear. "The following instructions provide additional guidance on complying with the committee's request," states the new memo, which was sent by e-mail on April 20.

Its memo lists four types of “covered agency officials” - basically political appointees. It specifically mentions 15 people in whom the committee is particularly interested. They include Rove, former Republican National Committee Chairman Ken Mehlman, and 13 other current and former White House aides.

“For each covered agency official, the search should include the official’s e-mail account, any archive of e-mail account including printed e-mails where appropriate, servers, and any backup tape or other backup media containing e-mails to or from the official,” the committee memo states.

A very clever move by Waxman to trace all roads of corruption of the Bush Administration to when George took office which was January 20, 2001. This would certainly put the piece to the puzzles of many current, on-going, and future investigations into the White House.

Here is the some of the RNC email accounts used from www. networksolutions.com from my prior posting to ponder.

E-mail is so traceable. Duh. Where's Ollie North's secretary Fawn Hall when you need her?

"E-mail is so traceable. Duh."

Even a caveman knows that, kittybowtie. We are dealing with an administration still using the Nixon and Ollie North playbooks.
