35. Precisely
They violated their office protocol, they circumvented government laws/regs and used servers that were not monitored and secure. The RNC has no executive privilege.

The toughest battle that Congress may have regarding the subpoenas is with Miers subpoena, she has the legitimate right to claim attorney/client privilege as she was counsel to the president. Their communications are in fact privileged and confidential.

Of course, the communications that were handed over to Congress that are from her or to her are no protected, they waived the privilege when they handed over the documents. ;)

The administration that believes itself above the law truly thinks that it is, thus it gave emails that it considered to be of little value and didn't vet them properly. In so doing, it left a gap in time and a trail of slime.

The bigger they are, the harder they fall. :evilgrin:
