Sigh. Now 10 Million E-mails Missing from White House Backups

This is a disgrace. Originally, it was believed that 5 million e-mails were removed from White House servers and backups, despite accountability laws requiring all executive branch e-mails be saved. Now, we have learned that it was on the order of 10 million e-mails instead.

OK, it is time for an automated backup of all e-mails in realtime to a secure write-once-read-many domain where the backups can only be destroyed by physical means by order of the President. Then, at least, someone will be accountable for such massive violations.
