Lynch Did Not OK Ayotte's Scrubbed Email

Tue May 04, 2010 at 20:24:00 PM EDT


Pindell's got the latest on The Politico bombshell today:
A spokesman for Gov. John Lynch said the governor did not sign off on the deletion of years of e-mails and the public schedule for his two time appointed Attorney General Kelly Ayotte, which occurred some time prior to November.

When asked Lynch press secretary Colin Manning said Tuesday afternoon that Lynch did not approve of the deletion and that the administration's policy regarding the matter is consistent with state law. This is the same law that Ayotte's campaign cited.

I would only add that it is perhaps premature to refer to Ayotte's records as deleted.  I'm no techie, but I do know that email thought to be lost can be retrieved.

they probably exist somewhere... (0.00 / 0)
Gen. Ayotte's emails probably exist somewhere, although it is truly bizarre that the official calendar was wiped out.  If nothing else, some of the recipients still have their copies.

Even if she failed to destroy the copies of her official email, it is troubling that she even attempted to do so.  It seems to me that this is info which she should have made available to her successor.

Hmm, I wonder if I ever got any emails from her? (I checked, and it looks like she never sent me any.  I got one from Assistant AG Bud Fitch once, however.)
