White House 'wiping clean' computer hard drives

Judicial Watch gets tip Clinton aides 'destroying' evidence
before Jan. 20

The White House is rushing to "wipe clean" the hard drives of
computers used by President Clinton's aides before the Jan. 20
changeover, a public-interest law firm claims.

Normally, when employees leave the White House, computer workers
take a snapshot of the contents of their hard drives and store
them as part of official records, as required by law. Then they
reformat the hard drives for the next users.

But according to Judicial Watch, Inc., political aides have
ordered computer workers to first run the hard drives through a
software program by the firm Jetico, called B.C., or Best Crypt,
which "wipes clean the drives so the next administration can't
retrieve any files."

"They're starting with [the hard drives of] the most important
people first -- the [White House] lawyers -- and working their
way down," said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. "And they're
working through the weekend."

He added: "It's the equivalent of burning records, according to
our sources," who are White House employees.

The records are key to Judicial Watch's Filegate lawsuit against
the White House. General counsel Larry Klayman said he passed the
tip on to U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth late Friday.

Calls to the White House were not returned by deadline.

Fitton said Clinton aides Mark Lindsay and Michael Lyle are
heading up the project -- which is being carried out by Charles
Nash, a supervisor in the White House's records management unit.
