Romney staff spent nearly $100,000 to hide records
DECEMBER 6, 2011 BY BREAKING NEWS


Mitt Romney spent nearly $100,000 in state funds to replace computers in his office at the end of his term as governor of Massachusetts in 2007 as part of an unprecedented effort to keep his records secret, Reuters has learned.

The move during the final weeks of Romney’s administration was legal but unusual for a departing governor, Massachusetts officials say.

The effort to purge the records was made a few months before Romney launched an unsuccessful campaign for the Republican presidential nomination in 2008. He is again competing for the party’s nomination, this time to challenge Barack Obama for the presidency in 2012.

Whatcha hidin', Witless?

Hmmmmm, I wonder about the other records...... (http://www.westernjournalism.com/romney-staff-spent-nearly-100000-to-hide-records/?utm_source=Western+Journalism&utm_campaign=d6a0f210df-RSS_EMAIL_CAMPAIGN&utm_medium=email)

Curious.  Since when does the government let employees buy the hard drives from their computers?  Fishy, fishy.  And they wiped the drives on the servers too.  The article doesn't say if they made backups of anything.

Nope.  Don't like it one bit.

Said it before, say it again--never trust a guy who combs his hair with olive oil and a fork.

It'd be totally illegal under most states' sunshine laws.  Quite unusual.

This story has been around for a couple of weeks, but isn't getting much play in the MSM.  No surprise since Mitt is the left's choice for the GOP to run against Obama.

He'll bet you $10,000.00 that there was nothing of interest on them.

I never heard of that being allowed. Of course, neither should the Romulan be allowed.

Backups? Dey don' need no friggin' backups!
