Bush and his cronies have yet again broken US law by using private Republican National Committee (RNC)-supplied electronic devices and email accounts to perform official activities. They thought it was a great way to hide their politicization of all aspects of the US government. But, they got caught. Now, it seems some (not sure how much yet) have been permanently lost.

Maybe, Karl Rove had a Rose Mary Wood’s accident while reaching for his RNC-issued Blackberry and erased the messages? For more on this, see this New York Times piece.

Update: Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) has just released a report about the missing emails. Oh, let me be more clear, the OVER FIVE MILLION MISSING EMAILS. Thanks to Think Progress for the tip off on this release.
