Gov. John Kitzhabers office last week requested state officials destroy thousands of records in the governors personal email accounts, according to records obtained by WW and 101.9 KINK/FM News 101 KXL.
The request came as investigations into allegations of influence-peddling involving Kitzhaber and first lady Cylvia Hayes were intensifying.
Records show the request to destroy Kitzhabers emails came from Jan Murdock, Kitzhabers executive assistant. She wanted all emails from Kitzhabers personal email accounts removed from state servers.

Personal emails of public officials can be subject to the states open records laws if they are used to discuss public business. Earlier documents previously released by the governors office show Kitzhaber used both his personal and state email accounts to communicate with his aides and discuss state business.
The request from Kitzhabers office to destroy emails came one day before the Oregon Department of Justice opened a criminal investigation into the allegations against him and Hayes.

The records indicate that state employees refused to carry out the request from Kitzhaber's assistant to destroy emails.

Republican tried this, he'd be hounded from office in a matter of weeks if not days.
We are so fortunate that these records have been saved from accidental destruction.
Could be worse, could be like what the Jebster did and release a bunch of senstive information from his consituients...
It’s a ‘RAT character trait -— DESTROY THE EVIDENCE.
They didn’t say whether he was a Democrat or a Republican.
But I can tell...because they didn’t say!
Dem Scuzzz
You can assume that any Democrat governor of Washington State (or Mayor of Seattle) and any Democrat governor of Oregon (or Mayor of Portland, Jihad-central for the Leftcoast), is any or all of the following:
* A crook
* A liar
* Crazy (I’ll throw in Gov. Moonbeam of California as personifying this trait)
* An egotistical asshole
* Damaged goods that cannot be repaired
Beautiful states led by Marxist-oriented dogmatists. This is not what the founders of those stated ever envisioned in the newly created America.
And I might mention that there are enough leftist wackjob voters out there to keep electing these type of Democrat cretins until the silent Americans reawaken (as they did for Reagan) and clean out the Democratic political outhouses of their respective states.
The left in Oregon loves cronyism and incompetence and conflict of interest if it's all in a good cause.
But obstruction of justice might be a bridge too far even for the dopey left.
If you would like more information about what's happening in Oregon, please FReepmail me.
I lost my Oregon list when my computer crashed last year, so please send me your name by FReepmail if you want to be on this list.
Sounds as though OR is IL West. What a bunch of ignoramuses to re-elect a man with the terrible judgment this hen-pecked pansy has shown in not getting rid of the tramp he’s sleeping with.
Not only that, we’d see “REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR” in the headline.
I remember when the honorable Gov. Sarah Palin was set upon and they released her emails; they found NOTHING at all that they could be critical about.
Kitzhaber will be gone by the end of the weekend.
Ya think? I'd bet in their upside down world, 'justice' is just obstructing the governor's agenda.
Like the Nazis with Hitler, these people are cultists.
Exactly. It’s amazing to live in this beautiful, benighted state of Oregon. Just when you think the scuzzy, egomaniacal factor can’t get any worse . . .
Yep...we...Oregon.
.are a magnet for libs and progressives...it’s sickening
Oregon’s government is corrupt from the top to bottom. Executive, Legislative, and Judicial. Evil!
If these emails were created on a state owned computer they are public record, FIOA them!
