-Caveat Lector- <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"> </A> -Cui Bono?- From: The Washington Times A senior White House internal security official says he has assumed control of hundreds of e-mails to and from Vice President Al Gore's office; documents that could prove significant in federal and congressional probes of 1996 campaign finance improprieties. Charles Easley, the top security officer, also said in a sworn affidavit that he had taken possession of printouts of e-mails to and from Monica Lewinsky and locked them in his office safe. This is the first time the location of these printouts has been revealed. Meanwhile, the White House sought in another court document to refute allegations that these materials had been tampered with or were slated to be destroyed. "It is the current policy of EOP [Executive Office of the President] to make back-up tapes of the hard drive files of departed employee [sic] and not to destroy those back-up tapes," White House lawyers said in an affidavit submitted Monday evening to U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., a copy of which was obtained by FoxNews.com. The White House statements did not indicate whether there had previously been a policy to destroy old computer files. The affidavits were submitted in connection with a civil suit filed by Judicial Watch, a conservative legal activist group that represents several Republicans whose FBI files were improperly obtained by the Clinton White House. The office of the Independent Counsel has determined that there is no evidence in the so-called "Filegate" matter to warrant the filing of criminal charges against anyone in the Clinton White House. The location and safekeeping of the computer files has been a subject of conjecture and controversy for months. Sheryl Hall, a former Clinton White House computer specialist, said in sworn testimony in the Judicial Watch suit that a staff colleague told her the White House "plans to destroy these ... tapes of the computer hard drives of departed Clinton White House staffers." The contents of the White House tapes, computer disk drives and e-mails may prove significant in a Justice Department criminal probe into possible campaign finance abuses during the 1996 campaign involving Gore. These materials are also being sought in the Judicial Watch civil suit. A Justice Department spokesman said he could not comment on whether investigators would now seek the materials in Easely's possession. Gore says he did nothing illegal during the 1996 fundraising effort. He has said his Republican critics are "chasing their tails" in their efforts to discredit him. The materials cover a period in 1997 when Gore and his advisers were seeking to answer questions about allegations of improper activities, including Gore's telephone fundraising solicitations and a fundraiser he attended at a Buddhist temple in Los Angeles. ================================================================= Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh, YHVH, TZEVAOT FROM THE DESK OF: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> *Mike Spitzer* <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ~~~~~~~~ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The Best Way To Destroy Enemies Is To Change Them To Friends Shalom, A Salaam Aleikum, and to all, A Good Day. ================================================================= <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
