Henry Waxman, Chairman of the House Oversight Committee, has scheduled hearings for tomorrow, Tuesday, February 26, 2008 regarding the preservation of White House email. We've updated <A HREF="http://www.dominopower.com/issues/issue200801/00002120001.html">The White House email controversy: get ready for the hearings</A>, our in-depth pre-hearing analysis and it's now available for you to read.
Here's an interesting procedural note: these hearings were originally scheduled for February 15, but they got pushed back so the Oversight Committee could hear testimony from baseball player Roger Clemens instead. Apparently, security and disclosure at the White House is important, but steroid abuse in baseball is much more interesting -- and probably results in far more TV coverage for the congress-critters involved. Besides, nobody wants to meet an email administrator, but everyone wants to shake Roger Clemens' steroid-stained hands.
