White House spinning like a cyclone over missing emails
First they make a chart trying to downplay the missing emails, and then they actually look at the chart and notice that it spikes on coinciding times when Congress wanted to investigate the White House, so they now try to downplay it!

"The gaps — 473 days over a period of 20 months — are cited in a chart prepared by White House computer technicians and shared in September with the House Reform and Government Oversight Committee, which has been looking into reports of missing e-mail.

Among the times for which e-mail may not have been archived from Vice President Dick Cheney's office are four days in early October 2003, just as a federal probe was beginning into the leak of Valerie Plame's CIA identity, an inquiry that eventually ensnared Cheney's chief of staff.

Contents of the chart — which the White House now disputes — were disclosed Thursday by Rep. Henry Waxman, a California Democrat who chairs the House committee, as he announced plans for a Feb. 15 hearing.

Waxman said he decided to release details from the White House-prepared chart after presidential spokesman Tony Fratto declared "we have absolutely no reason to believe that any e-mails are missing.""

4. "An innocent man has nothing to hide.
An innocent man says, 'Come on in, look at whatever you want to look at.' An innocent man has nothing to hide."

Statement from G.W. BUSH when asked why he was convinced Hussein had WMDs, after citing the 'fact' that Saddam 'wouldn't let the inspectors in'.

7. Destroyed evidence would be obstruction of justice, wouldn't it?
Of course, the TV's full of steroids in baseball and how Mitt trounced McCain in Nevada.

14. Only became more obvious lately. Real coup was 22 November 1963,
Check out your Secret Service stand-down at Love Field.



War Party has run the West since 22 November 1963.

Complete clip shows Secret Service Agent Emory Roberts order Henry J. Rybka and another agent from the back of President Kennedy's limousine. To me, ordering President Kennedy to be unprotected is evidence of treason.

11. Difficulty correctly expressing factual information gives no reason to believe a coverup is on.
After all, individual perceptions of the law vary :rofl:
