Countless e-mails to and from many key White House staffers have been deleted — lost to history and placed out of reach of congressional subpoenas — due to a brazen violation of internal White House policy that was allowed to continue for more than six years, the White House acknowledged yesterday.
This wasn’t a normal server crash that’s usually connected to e-mail loss. Instead, this was employees complete disregard to policies. It does seem odd that the government wouldn’t be able to retrieve most of the e-mails though.
