Which I was going to point out to..
He was investigated and interviewed by the Special Branch, after the e-mail was intercepted by the US Central Intelligence Agency.
If the NSA does the sniffing.. And the Secret Service handles the protecting.. What does the CIA have to do with this? If this is a public and verified fact, then it seems mail to whitehouse.gov is actually analyzed by the CIA at their request. Kind of odd since the Secret Service originally headed up the computer crime investigations in the early 90's. Seems they would have a staff member or two that could and would handle all computer related events, be at the White House or not.
