Lurita Doan Presidential Records Act Scott Jennings
As we noted yesterday, the Administrator of the General Services Administration, Lurita Doan, testified at a House hearing yesterday about a political presentation given to her staff by White House staff. Ms. Doan has been named as one of the 25 most corrupt members of the Bush Administration by CREW in our report, Criminals & Scoundrels.
A report in Federal Times reveals that the e-mail exchanges organizing the GSA event provide further proof of White House personnel using outside e-mail systems:
Slides list Democrat “targets” and vulnerable Republicans, along with other Republican electoral information. It was presented by Scott Jennings, White House deputy director for political affairs, at a luncheon teleconference for GSA senior staff and political appointees. Jennings, an aide to Bush administration adviser Karl Rove, also was involved in the firing of Bud Cummins III, one of the eight U.S. attorneys fired last year.A Jan. 19 e-mail regarding the slideshow, sent from an unofficial e-mail address by Jennings’ assistant to Doan’s, says “Please do not email this out or let people see it. It is a close hold and we’re not supposed to be emailing it around.”
There seem to be a lot of those other e-mails floating around.
