OT You see, this is the real reason the boy was taken - a bit of the same "wag-the-dog" we have seen in the past.

FBI Filegate: Judge Wants White House E-Mails NewsMax.com Thursday, April 27, 2000 7:58 p.m. EDT U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth today ordered the White House to turn over e-mails and other electronic data in the FBI Filegate case as soon as possible. The judge?s order, at a hearing in Washington, comes as a result of an action filed by Judicial Watch, which is suing the Clinton administration over violation of privacy rights after it was disclosed in 1996 that nearly a thousand FBI files on Republicans from previous administrations were improperly held in the White House. After recent disclosures by White House staff that hundreds of thousands of e-mails were hidden from congressional and federal investigations into White House wrongdoing, Judicial Watch sought to obtain this digital material. The White House responded by saying it would need 170 days to reconstruct the e-mails. The judge found that unacceptable and instructed the White House to work with the Justice Department and the FBI to begin turning over the e-mails as soon as possible. Larry Klayman, chairman of Judicial Watch, told NewsMax.com, "There?s a tremendous amount of material that is to be reviewed that the White House is trying to hide.? Klayman said that in addition to the e-mails, Judicial Watch is seeking to gain access to the computer hard drives of Linda Tripp, Vince Foster, Bernie Nussbaum and others. newsmax.com Who knows what will be found in those emails & phone call records?
