It looks like the Republican National Committee is having the same kind of luck searching for thousands of missing White House emails as O.J. Simpson has had finding the real killer.
From the
Washington Post:
After promising last year to search its computers for tens of thousands of e-mails sent by White House officials, the Republican National Committee has informed a House committee that it no longer plans to retrieve the communications by restoring computer backup tapes, the panel's chairman said yesterday. ...
The committee is investigating allegations that vast stores of official Bush administration e-mails have also gone missing from the White House, which scrapped a Clinton-era archiving system and has struggled with data retention problems.
A former White House technology manager told the committee in statements released yesterday that the Bush administration's e-mail system "was primitive and the risk that data would be lost was high."
Hmm. That hardly sounds like the primo system left behind by former White House office CIO Carlos Solari, as described in
this bio:
Carlos Solari has most recently completed a successful assignment as the Chief Information Officer for the Executive Office of the President (EOP The White House) a position first created in August 2001. ...
While serving as CIO, Solari transformed the EOP IT infrastructure to a modern, survivable enterprise serving the White House and its 12 component offices all in the midst of unprecedented cyber and physical security concerns. This transformation was comprehensive and conducted while concurrently delivering advanced business functionality.
The data storage functionality, not so much.
