Harper's Magazine Blog

There's a new news blog on the block and it's a good 'un. Harper's Magazine, which has been around for a loooong time, has some dude named Scott Horton (pic left) blogging things from a legal & political angel. It's a good read. See, for instance, what he has to say about the erasure of the emails:

It looks like the tactics of the White House in its response to the Congressional investigation have just entered a new phase. If a responsible prosecutor were presented with evidence suggesting even the possibility of the conscious destruction of evidence, he would take immediate steps: subpoena the relevant White House staffers' personal PCs, subpoena and depose the personnel involved in the alleged 'accidental' erasure, and send FBI agents to seize the RNC's servers which were 'erased.' Which explains the ever more urgent need for the appointment of a special prosecutor in this case.
