Ex-governor’s aides say they did nothing wrong
By Michael Levenson and Matt Viser, Globe Staff / November 17, 2011
Just before Mitt Romney left the
Massachusetts governor’s office and first ran for president, 11 of his
top aides purchased their state-issued computer hard drives, and the
Romney administration’s e-mails were all wiped from a server, according
to interviews and records obtained by the Globe.
Romney
administration officials had the remaining computers in the governor’s
office replaced just before Governor Deval Patrick’s staff showed up to
take power in January 2007, according to Mark Reilly, Patrick’s chief
legal counsel.
As a result,
Patrick’s office, which has been bombarded with inquiries for records
from the Romney era, has no electronic record of any Romney
administration e-mails, Reilly said.
