LAMBERTH ORDERS IMMEDIATE EVIDENTIARY HEARING IN E-MAIL MATTER

Court Calls White House Claim That It Could Not Have Begun
Earlier E-Mail Recreation "Preposterous"

(Washington, DC) Today, the Honorable Royce C. Lamberth of the
U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia ordered an
immediate evidentiary hearing, with full testimony under oath,
including the right of cross-examination, to uncover why it has
taken the Clinton-Gore White House over 20 weeks (i.e., five
months) to even begin formulating a plan to recreate the
so-called "missing" e-mail relevant to Judicial Watch's
$90-million class action Filegate lawsuit. Below are some
excerpts from the Court's ruling: Elementary mathematics
illustrates, however, that copying two tapes each day is better
than none. By analogy, if the data at issue were in hard-copy
rather than computer form, the EOP's [Executive Office of the
President's] position would essentially be that it need not copy
or produce a single document until it could find a copier capable
of reproducing large quantities of the documents together. This
court cannot accept such a preposterous position.

. . . Therefore, had the EOP begun copying tapes, not only would
some data now be available for searching, but also the EOP could
have tested its capability to complete the restoration process,
modified its plan as necessary, and developed an estimate for
when the entire process could be completed.

The EOP did not do this, however. Nor has it provided the court
with any explanation of why it did not do so. Instead, after
twenty weeks, the EOP has not made one concrete step towards
producing any of the non-ARMS e-mail, and can not give the court
any estimate of when it might do so. Accordingly, the court finds
that an evidentiary hearing to determine the best way to restore
and search non-ARMS e-mail is warranted. The evidentiary hearing
shall be scheduled immediately. The Court also ordered a search
of Vince Foster's archived hard drive.

"Judge Lamberth is the only real hope of the American people to
get to the bottom of the e-mail scandal and other matters which
are pending before his Court in Judicial Watch lawsuits. He is a
man of utmost integrity and, like Judge John Sirica, only he can
get to the bottom of and redress the corruption in the
Clinton-Gore White House," stated Judicial Watch Chairman and
General Counsel Larry Klayman.
