TPM writes Rove Emails Missing from RNC Server. Ok, it seems the RNC had a policy of deleting email after 30 days. However, starting in August 2004 due to Patrick Fitzgerald's investigation into Plamegate they retained all the email. Except at first, for Karl Rove's email. That wasn't archived until 2005 (and his ability to delete his email was removed). So Rove's email from around the election is missing, hmmmm.
Further it seems that White House Counsel Fred Fielding has said he won't turn over these emails. Rep. John Conyers (D-MI), Chairman of the House Judiciary committee said further: "As I stated in my earlier letter to the Republican National Committee today, the Judiciary Committee intends to obtain the relevant emails directly from the RNC...The White House position seems to be that executive privilege not only applies in the Oval Office, but to the RNC as well. There is absolutely no basis in law or fact for such a claim."
