gwb43.com Today: ThinkProgress Buries a Lede
Very seldom can this be said, but it looks to me like ThinkProgress got so excited by a story that they didn't (yet) absorb the other, really explosive, story inside it. Check this out:
Justice Department documents released tonight include new emails linking Karl Rove’s top aides — former White House political director Sara Taylor, who resigned last month, and her deputy Scott Jennings — to the U.S. attorney scandal. Subpoenas have been authorized, but not approved, for both Taylor and Jennings.
Significant, sure. Illegal as shit, well, duh! This goes without saying for this crew. But way down the story this sorta leaps out:
The messages from Taylor and Jennings to the Justice officials are sent from their Republican National Committee email accounts.
Now can we get those subpoenas to Chattanooga Rep. Waxman? There is no longer any way anybody can claim that "those RNChq.com and gwb43.com and other Smartech emails were just used for political matters." These mails were entirely about government business, to wit the US Attorney positions. They should have gone through the legal, mandatory, US Archivist-recorded .gov email system. They did not. Case fucking closed already, dammit.
