Two years later, it was revealed that potentially <strong>22 million emails were deleted,</strong> which was considered by some to be a <strong>violation of the Presidential Records Act</strong></p> </blockquote> <p><strong><a href="https://talkingpointsmemo.com/about">Talking Points Memo received the Polk Award </a>for uncovering the attorney firing scandal, which was meant as payback for US attorneys not doing what they were told by Cheney/Rove/Gonzalez. </strong></p> </div></div></div> Fri, 15 Jul 2016 21:45:27 +0000 NCD comment 225963 at http://dagblog.com
