My point is that he and numerous other advisers to Bush conducted actual government business over privately owned servers, with a sitting President.  The deleted emails didn't need to contain classified material to be in ACTUAL - not theoretical as with Clinton - violation of a law, the Presidential Records Act.  The requirement wasn't on Rove, it was on the Bush administration, which Rove better have known if he's 1% as smart as he'd have us all believe he is.
