Rove Didn't Mean to Delete the Email
Luskin (Rove's lawyer) said "Rove didn't know that deleting e-mailsfrom his RNC inbox also deleted them from the RNC's server. That system waschanged in 2005."
I find this hard to believe, unless someone "knew" some deletionsneeded to be permanent. Any time you hear of a corporate investigation and the need to recover old emails, they always seem to be recovered. Why on earth would governmentemployees be able to permanently delete their emails with a keystroke? I say itB.S.
His understanding starting very, very early in the administration was thatthose e-mails were being archived," Rove's attorney, Robert Luskin, said.
Any e-mails Rove deleted were the type of routine deletions people make tokeep their inboxes orderly, Luskin said. He said Rove had no idea the e-mailswere being deleted from the server, a central computer that managed the e-mail.
Andwhat? Rove didn't get the memo? or the IT guys didn't send the President's topaide the memo they changed the protocol?
