Ha!
That's just beautiful....
Maybe some email needed to be disappeared, and they needed cover to do it.

...so that’s what happened to all the complaint e-mails about the wh.gov’s 2nd Amendment explanation. I see how it is.
When need to convince AQ to launch a Chernobyl virus from a pay phone to the WH. With their systems down, at least the elected official and his staff wouldn’t be able to so quickly to destroy the US.
Yes! Exactly.
Anyone called em on the fact he did not get to keep his blackberry ? They gave him a very secure clone.....equal to a STU-III in many ways.
It’s called a sectera edge............. he lost the Blackberry battle.

This seems so familiar. I wonder if Sandy Burglar was involved at all.
Where is the “Blame everyone else for my screw-ups” button?
Hey Freepers let’s Auto-Send this email until the DUMMIES @ WhiteHouse.Gov ANSWER IT!
What did U obots know about this email and when did you know it?
Listen to no one about where to send the green cards and any letters received from Congresscritters EXCEPT TO ME. I PURPOSELY KEPT THE GREEN CARDS IN THE FIELD DISPERSED WITH THE VOLUNTEERS RATHER THAN CENTRALIZING STORAGE IN THE EVENT THAT MY HOME WAS RATED. TRUST NO ONE IN TERMS OF THESE GREEN CARDS. THEY ARE “OUR ACE IN THE HOLE.” Doug
