isn't. More emails lost. IG's complaining of investigations
being blocked. So many people are "losing" emails these days
that' it's no longer news.

> Another official in the "most transparent administration"
claims to have lost emails sought by investigators, while dozens
of government auditors complain that Obama officials repeatedly
obstruct their probes.
>
> Anyone who has ever tried to pry any information out of
President Obama's administration comes to the same conclusion:
Despite repeated promises of openness, it is the most paranoid,
controlling and impenetrable in history.
>
> Take the plight of the inspectors general.
>
> In an unprecedented letter to Congress, 47 IGs blasted the
administration for "serious limitations on access to records"
that have impeded their investigations. The letter specifically
cited cases at the Justice Department, the EPA and the Peace
Corps, the latter of which had been withholding — of all things
— sexual assault records against its volunteers.

> "Even if we are ultimately able to resolve these issues," they
told lawmakers, "the process is often lengthy, delays our work,
and diverts time and attention from substantive oversight
activities."
>
> Meanwhile, a Health and Human Services official claims to have
deleted some of the emails sought by a congressional probe into
the Healthcare.gov launch fiasco.
>
> House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman
Darrell Issa says the number of administration witnesses who
have conveniently lost or destroyed emails now totals 20.
>
> Those are just the latest examples in a long and growing list.
Obama's efforts to block information flow is so egregious that
even the sycophantic press now complains about it.
>
> In a scathing letter to Obama this July, the Society of
Professional Journalists decried the "politically driven
suppression of news and information about federal agencies."
Former New York Times editor Jill Abramson called Obama's "the
most secretive White House that I have ever been involved in
covering."
>
> And to ensure omerta is upheld, the administration mounted a
historic number of criminal leak investigations of sources and
whistleblowers.
>
> And yet, Obama has the gall to insist that his is "the most
transparent administration in history," adding that "I can
document that this is the case."

Meet the new boss...same as..... well you know. Obama will be
out at some point. I hope the nonsense follows him out of DC,
but I have little faith it will. We're going to have a
corrupt, inept government until we get the big money out of it.

I disagree Rapids. You have an administration that still is
trying to claim,

Meanwhile you have statements that claim
"serious limitations on access to records"
This from non partisan IG's. How many times have you heard this
from IG's? This is unheard of.
Or other statements like
"the most secretive White House that I have ever been involved
in covering."
From the NY Times, a publication known for it's stand for the
Obama administration.
Then there is the 20 people under investigation whose emails are
just.....gone.
No, this isn't the same ole same ole. This is a organized
effort to intentionally stymie not only the news media but
internal investigations into wrongdoing not seen on this scale
in the past.
To further emphasize this there is this fact.

Sounds a lot like Chicago type politics to me, not business as
usual.
