LAT's Tom Hamburger: "Rove, others were warned to save e-mails." So, what do you think, innocent mistake? It's worth noting that those accused of similar innocent mistakes in the voter fraud cases Rove was so enthusiastic about US attorneys prosecuting have had their lives ruined, been deported, and other grave and traumatic fates. Deported to Pakistan for mistakenly filling out a voter registration form while in line at the DMV, for instance, as Kevin Drum points out. It seems unlikely that the officials who broke the rules and perhaps the law will face the kind of justice they used as a club against the powerless.
