Buried in the Tuesday filing at District Court — “Exhibit B” in a motions request by Libby’s defense team — is a Jan. 23 letter sent to Libby by Fitzgerald.
The last paragraph of the letter says, “We are aware of no evidence pertinent to the charges against defendant Libby which has been destroyed.” But it goes on to say, “We advise you that we have learned that not all e-mail of the Office of Vice President and the Executive Office of the President for certain time periods in 2003 was preserved through the normal archiving process on the White House computer system.”
