Dick Cheney was the founding father of the private email system for government work
George W. Bush and Dick Cheney The Bush White House was the Republican founding father of private email systems. In order to avoid, public accountability the Bush administration used a private email network on RNC servers. The Bush administration also lost 22 million emails. They just so happened to lose the emails from the architects of Bushs torture policy. Within those 22 million lost emails were five million emails that were lost relating to the 2007 firing of eight U.S. Attorneys. The Bush administration denied for years that any emails were lost, but as part of settling a lawsuit, eventually admitted that twenty-two million emails had been lost. The Obama administration tried to clean up the Bush mess, but was only able to restore 61 days worth of emails.
Why not prosecute Cheney for his lost emails? I am sure there are a lot of emails that were "lost" by Cheney and Bush that fall outside of this settlement.
