Bush may intentionally violate data-retention laws

It’s not just about explaining how/when the President does not have to honor seatbelt laws. Now it’s about data retention violations too:

“Given the heavy reliance by White House officials on RNC e-mail accounts, the high rank of the White House officials involved, and the large quantity of missing e-mails,” the report said, “the potential violation of the Presidential Records Act may be extensive.”

Republicans said there is no evidence that the law was violated or that the missing e-mails were of a government rather than political nature.

The records act requires presidents to assure that “the activities, deliberations, decisions, and policies that reflect the performance” of their duties are “adequately documented … and maintained,” the report said.

Of course there is no evidence. That was destroyed too, along with the definition of government.
