White House to Judge: No e-mails for you! Hard Drives Tossed.





WASHINGTON - Older White House computer hard drives have been destroyed, the White House disclosed to a federal court Friday in a controversy over millions of possibly missing e-mails from 2003 to 2005.

The White House revealed new information about how it handles its computers in an effort to persuade a federal magistrate it would be fruitless to undertake an e-mail recovery plan that the court proposed.

"When workstations are at the end of their lifecycle and retired ... the hard drives are generally sent offsite to another government entity for physical destruction," the White House said in a sworn declaration filed with U.S. Magistrate Judge John Facciola.

It has been the goal of a White House Office of Administration "refresh program" to replace one-third of its workstations every year in the Executive Office of the President, according to the declaration.
Some, but not necessarily all, of the data on old hard drives is moved to new computer hard drives, the declaration added.
More on the story.

Now in 1972 a President was impeached and had to resign from destroying White House documents and a tape disclosing the truth. During the Clinton year the Republican wanted to impeach a President for lying about an affair.
Today we have a White House that is so corrupt they even have thousands of soldiers die based on lies, bankrupt the US Treasury, lies to Foreign Leaders and even have become Dictators yet nothing is said or done about it. Americans just sit back and wait for their rebate checks and do as their told. Our soldiers are dying everyday and being sent back to the Iraq Civil War on 4th and 5th tours until they die. All signs should be removed that say God Bless America, because Satan is running the United States of America and the World knows it. Chavez told the UN and he told the truth and now Americans are stuck with people worse then Saddam.
