More US Attorneys and missing emails

CREW (partisan) claims there are over 5 million different "missing emails" than the ones in immediate question on the RNC servers. These are apparently off the White House servers. (The missing emails from the Plame investigation.)

And, the RNC's counsel Rob Kelner,

According to Mr. Kelner, although the hold started in August 2004, the RNC does not have any e-mails prior to 2005 for Mr. Rove. Mr. Kelner did not give any explanation for the e-mails missing from Mr. Rove's account, but he did acknowledge that one possible explanation is that Mr. Rove personally deleted his e-mails from the RNC server.

Mr. Kelner also explained that starting in 2005, the RNC began to treat Mr. Rove's emails in a special fashion. At some point in 2005, the RNC commenced an automatic archive policy for Mr. Rove, but not for any other White House officials. According to Mr. Kelner, this archive policy removed Mr. Rove's ability to personally delete his e-mails from the RNC server. Mr. Kelner did not provide many details about why this special policy was adopted for Mr. Rove. But he did indicate that one factor was the presence of investigative or discovery requests or other legal concerns.

So, a speculative description from the RNC lawyer of Rove deleting his own emails in the face of legal proceedings that constitued enough of a problem for the RNC to set up special archiving to keep Rove from doing that.

Yet another document dump coming.
