The Bush administration has five business days to answer lingering questions about the backup copies

Go CREW Go!!

9 Jan 2008 // The Bush administration has five business days to answer lingering questions about the backup copies of millions of missing White House e-mails.

Covering more than a two-year period between 2003 and 2005, the missing e-mails came to light as part of congressional inquiries into the White House's firing of U.S. attorneys.

The White House contends the missing e-mails are preserved on backup tapes, but the Bush administration has yet to produce the tapes. The Executive Office of the President is already under a court order to preserve the backup copies.

Magistrate John Facciola of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia added to that legal burden Jan. 8 by ordering the EOP to answer questions about whether the backups are identifiable by the period of time they cover or by data they contain, whether they contain e-mails created between 2003 and 2005, and whether they contain the missing e-mails.

6. I know what you mean
"We're really angry and disappointed. And this time we mean it. We might even huff & puff for the TV cameras this time."
