Michael Duffy reports that White House lawyers are getting worried.

When I read Tony Fratto’s aggressive denials that the White House had lost millions of emails today I said to myself, “Tony, you just got the White House in a big heap of trouble with your big fat mouth.” After all, I reasoned to myself, the White House has previously represented to people, including Patrick Fitzgerald, that they had lost email. That’s how they kept Jenny Mayfield and Cathie Martin out of jail for not turning over what appears to be email responsive to subpoena. So if you now say that there are no emails missing, it means all that legal testimony the White House has given–some of it under oath–is incorrect. If you say that, Tony, you’re just inviting someone to respond.

And respond Henry Waxman did.
