Just before Mitt Romney left the Massachusetts governor’s office and first ran for president, 11 of his top aides purchased their state-issued computer hard drives, and the Romney administration’s e-mails were all wiped from a server, according to interviews and records obtained by the Globe.
Romney administration officials had the remaining computers in the governor’s office replaced just before Governor Deval Patrick’s staff showed up to take power in January 2007, according to Mark Reilly, Patrick’s chief legal counsel.
As a result, Patrick’s office, which has been bombarded with inquiries for records from the Romney era, has no electronic record of any Romney administration e-mails, Reilly said.
“The governor’s office has found no e-mails from 2002–2006 in our possession,’’ Reilly said in a statement. “Before the current administration took office, the computers used during that time period were replaced and the server used during that time period was taken out of service, all files were removed from it, and it was also replaced.’’
Wild Thing’s comment……
This reminds me of the Bill Clinton regime,and also Obama. BOTH how they kept things from the rest of us.
No matter that the reason, it proves he is not honest and wants to hide something. Maybe how big a rino he is.
I firmly believe that hardly anyone in politics is honest. Just one of many reasons for the need for term limits.
Tom, that would be wonderful, it would really keep them more in line and also less corruption.
