The random political thoughts thread (Part Deux)

I agree with Alex. Expecting all email be retained is stupid. The Hatch Act in the electronic era is also stupid and contributed to this mess.

The amount of email is becoming humanly impossible to read. We should require our officials to read their delivered mail (i.e. SPAM removed by software not humans) and make a judgement as to it's importance and whether or not in need be retained.

The RNC was stupid to lose the emails in such an arbitrary fashion (or so it has been characterized to me) the should have a regular process of purging and retaining and stick to it. To the extent they didn't they'll take a well deserved hit for that that ill make them look suspicious regardless if any smoking gun were to be found.
