Shorter Karl Rove: “Delete” Doesn’t Mean, Y’know, Like, “Delete”

Brian Zick

Laurie Kellman for AP reports Karl Rove's lawyer on Friday dismissed the notion that President Bush's chief political adviser intentionally deleted his own e-mails from a Republican-sponsored server, saying Rove believed the communications were being preserved in accordance with the law. (…) Any e-mails Rove deleted were the type of routine deletions people make to keep their inboxes orderly, Luskin said. He said Rove had no idea the e-mails were being deleted from the server, a central computer that managed the e-mail. via Paul Kiel at TPM Muckraker
