What's this? People in the White House breaking the law and lying?? In the Bush White House?!?? Yawn.
"White House aides made extensive use of political e-mail accounts for official government business, despite rules requiring that they conduct such business through official communications channels, according to new evidence disclosed yesterday by congressional investigators.
"The Republican National Committee told investigators that White House senior political adviser Karl Rove alone sent or received more than 140,000 e-mails between 2002 and 2007, more than half of which involved individuals using official ".gov" e-mail accounts, a report from the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee said. The RNC said it still has copies of those e-mails.
"Rove's former assistant, Susan Ralston, affirmed in a deposition released by the committee that her former boss used his political e-mail account "most of the time."
"The White House had acknowledged that aides to President Bush improperly used the political e-mail accounts. But the material released yesterday details for the first time how frequently they used the accounts and for what purposes."
