Josh Marshall reports there is an 18-day gap — first spotted by a commenter on the blog Talking Points Memo — in the over 3,000 emails released by the Department of Justice pertaining to the attorney firing scandal.
The gap covers the days between November 15 and December 4, 2006. So far, only one email has been found dated within that 18 day period among those released in Monday night’s document dump. The lone email, from November 29, 2006, was one forwarded by Justice official Michael Elston to a fellow staffer asking for an attached review document to be printed.
“The firing calls went out on December 7th. But the original plan was to start placing the calls on November 15th,” notes Marshall. “So those eighteen days are pretty key ones.”
