> The "gwb43.com" domain name was publicized by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), who sent a letter to Oversight and Government Reform Committee committee chairman Henry A. Waxman requesting an investigation.
> Waxman sent a formal warning to the RNC, advising them to retain copies of all emails sent by White House employees. According to Waxman, "in some instances, White House officials were using nongovernmental accounts specifically to avoid creating a record of the communications."
>The Republican National Committee claims to have erased the emails, supposedly making them unavailable for Congressional investigators
It is hopeless to expect voluntary transparency by the government, there is no incentive to
1) comply with the rules when transparency is clearly detrimental to your backroom deals or
2) to punish the very people that appointed you to your high positioned job or
3) to punish the opponents in the other party when they fail to comply while, after 4 years, the positions can be reversed and you may be in the crosshairs in a similar investigation.
Nothing was done when Bush did it, nothing will be done now that is Hillary doing it and don't expect anything different regardless of what party manage to snag the congress and White House.
If regulatory capture is a significant problem in the private sector imagine inside the government itself. It is hopeless.
