What does this mean? "some computers around the state were tied into a Huckabee software program, a number of hard drives around the state were replaced to be sure no backtracking through those computers could be done to Huckabee-era data. "

I hate to be dense, but does that imply Huck paid to maintain a seperate computer system? If he did, where did the money come from, and if he did not why are taxpayers paying to replace computers & software?

We are so fortunate to be rid of this slime-ball. I certainly hope that if he decides to run for President these issues will come to the forefront quickly.

Huckabee wouldn't have had to pay for a separate network. All he would of had to do is say I want this and it would be created and then his office would control who got access to it. If you have a computer that did have access then it's possible that you could have downloaded or saved to your local drive information found on said network and that is why the hard drives were removed, better to be safe than sorry especially with software now available that can take a supposedly "cleaned" hd and find out what was on it.

No telling.
No telling how much stuff much worse than the parole-board Lary's dirty laundry was on those hard drives. It would have been a rich and telling story.

So thankful we are getting this long deserved breath of fresh air. Huck's secrecy would have made him a good communist. Just think of what he could have done with the power to purge not only computers but populations.
Welcome home Mike Beebe!

I'm not in the mood for a witch hunt, but if you move into a house and find a dead body in the basement, you better call the cops quick!

It would be a failure of duty to stumble on a Huckabuck crime and not report it. I'm glad he's gone, but in fairness to the idiots who continue to give money to his bloated PAC, any petty thievery he's committed should be made public.

"Graspy" is putting it kindly. I was thinking more of 'klepto'.

Speaking as someone who understands computers, destroying the hard drives is a non-issue. The Tucker administration did the same thing. The Clinton administration did it when Bush took over. Hey Max, make some phone calls and ask Democratic governors who stepped down how many of their administrations destroyed hard drives.

If any Huckabee staffer was tied into office email via Microsoft Outlook, that would be reason enough to destroy the hard drive. Virtually any office-wide data network would qualify as a "Huckabee program" and would qualify the hard drive for termination.

I swear you people will gin up any conspiracy theory possible. I would be SHOCKED if any transition occurred (even inter-party) at any state house in America today that didn't feature data destruction.

This is just absurd. Huckabee had to get new office furniture becasue when Tucker left he didn't even leave a stapler for the new administration. In fact, he took everything including the phone list and the lists of people that he appointed in the last and final hours and Huckabee's folks had to get the information from the Sec. of States office. The furniture was his to take as it was a gift, argue that the gift was wrong and he shouldn't have taken gifts but not that he stole the stuff. The furniture at the mansion that you continue to bring up was there, but you keep acting as though he took it. It is still interesting to me that you just can't seem to get over your pettiness although you call him the petty one and let these bogus claims go.
