Henry Waxman still wants the private White House emails staffers used to circumvent the Presidential Records Act. Yesterday, Justin Rood reported that the Bush gang isn't exactly anxious to cooperate with the investigation.

The White House will not identify a private company which appears to be involved in the disappearance of millions of White House e-mails.

The company was responsible for reviewing and archiving White House e-mails, a White House official told congressional staff in May, according to a letter yesterday from House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Henry Waxman, D-Calif. Congressional investigators asked then for the name of the company and "have repeatedly requested" the information since then, according to Waxman.

They are still waiting for an answer, the chairman wrote to White House counsel Fred Fielding. [...]

White House spokesman Scott Stanzel declined to tell the Blotter on ABCNews.com the company's name or explain why the White House would not provide it to Congress.

Nothing suspicious about that. Nothing at all.

Waxman asked the White House to come up with the company's name by Sept. 10. We'll see how that goes.
