Democrats sue Justice Department asking for e-mail to be turned over to Congress
WASHINGTON: The Democratic National Committee sued the Justice Department on Thursday, demanding it turn over any e-mail traffic with the Republican Party on the U.S. attorneys controversy and criminal investigations.

<snip>

Democrats suspect that White House officials used e-mail accounts provided by the Republican Party headquarters to avoid a permanent record of communications with the Justice Department involving political considerations in the appointment of prosecutors.

The Democratic Party's suit in federal court followed the Republicans' refusal for now to turn over e-mails to Congress. White House lawyers first will have an opportunity to review them to determine whether some should be kept secret.

1. As soon as they withhold one e-mail for reasons of national security
That will be an admission of guilt; guilty of unauthorized disclosure of national secrets, through unsecured channels, to unauthorized entities in the GOP.

2. GOOD IDEA! DNC IS AN INTERESTED PARTY IN THIS - and more publicity won't
hurt the case! But Congress needs to subpoena the documents!

5. Howard is here in Paris today
With the time difference, he must be getting about two hours
