An article in Politico looking at the problems the investigation into the FRM Ponzi scheme may cause Ayotte's US Senate campaign includes this bombshell: It appears she had her calendar and e-mail correspondence scrubbed from the computer system before leaving office as New Hampshire Attorney General. Why?
According to an open records request made by Democratic operative Geoffrey Andersen and obtained by POLITICO, Ayotte's calendar and e-mail correspondence were removed from the state attorney general's computer system when she stepped down last summer.
"You requested a copy of General Ayotte's official schedule from June 1, 2003 to the present. The calendar was removed from the computer system when she left office and thus is not available for public disclosure. Her email correspondence was similarly removed from the system as of her departure date," wrote Ann Rice, an associate attorney general in the Criminal Justice Bureau, in response to Andersen's request.
Asked if it was normal protocol to remove those records from the system once a public official left office, Rice said she could not say.
Update: NH Political Report has posted Rice's letter
