Looks like they were sending emails through a different mail server than the government server. This is an interesting issue in terms of preserving public sector records as well as for security (looks like gov employees email through yahoo and hotmail too). Eventually there will have to be a law stating that all gov related work must go through the government servers. In the meantime, it looks like another piece of the secrecy pie.
It would make for poetic justice if Waxman could use the national security letters to get the emails from yahoo...
[update] Looks like a Gonzales aide took the 5th and won't testify. Wow.
Goodling, one of several aides involved in the firings of federal prosecutors, will refuse to answer senators' questions.
"The potential for legal jeopardy for Ms. Goodling from even her most truthful and accurate testimony under these circumstances is very real," Dowd said. Goodling was key to the Justice Department's political response to the growing controversy. She took a leave of absence last week.
