"Waxman To Hold Hearing On Missing White House E-Mails"

BarbinMD, front-paged on Kos:

Rep. Henry Waxman has announced that he is scheduling a hearing on February 15th in light of:

A White House chart indicates no e-mail was archived on 473 days for various units of the Executive Office of the President, a House committee chairman says. [...]

There are 16 days of no archived e-mails from Sept. 12, 2003, to May 23, 2005, for the office of Vice President Dick Cheney, according to Waxman's letter announcing the hearing. There are a dozen days of no archived e-mails for the White House Office inside the EOP, starting Dec. 17, 2003, and ending on Feb. 8, 2004, Waxman's letter added. It seems that Rep. Waxman would like an explanation for the remarks made yesterday by White House spokesman Tony Fratto:

MR. FRATTO: I think our review of this...I think to the best of what all the analysis we've been able to do, we have absolutely no reason to believe that any emails are missing...we have no reason to believe that any email at all are missing.

Q So where are they?

MR. FRATTO: Where are what?

And just a suggestion here, but instead of months of sternly worded letters, how about Waxman just cuts to chase and issues the subpoenas now...and then enforces them.
