Recall message RECALL MESSAGE

Hilariously, the White House sent talking points about the memorandum to Congress, but they sent it to Democrats by mistake. Ooops!

The White House appeared to accidentally send its talking points on the Ukraine call to House Democrats. The talking points encouraged the president’s allies to argue that there was no direct quid pro quo conveyed in the memo and that the whistleblower complaint was handled “by the book.”

After realizing the error, the White House tried to recall the email to House Democrats. At the risk of stating the obvious: it seems a bit late for that.

Yeah there’s no such thing as “recalling” email, White House. That’s not how any of this works.

Sure Tori!

makes busy hand gestures as if recalling something

There you go, all done! Message totally recalled!

I hope they understand how not to launch the nukes better than how not to send their talking points to the Dems.

    Symonds, Tori Q. is sure gonna be in trouble … hope she’s a member of the Inner Resistance, with an exit strategy.

    She’ll be fine. She’ll be sold to Steve Bannon.

    Some email systems do have a recall function, but there are very short time limits in which it can be done.

    And they don’t always work, and they may require the cooperation of the recipient, and they don’t work for mail sent out of the system.

    Yes, my work e-mail has a recall, but if the recipient has already opened the message, it does no good.

    What Sackbut said. Once that SMTP handshake has been completed between two servers and the data handed off, it’s too late. That email is gone.

    Unless you make the right busy hand gestures.

    The Republican party has always been baffled by the intertubes.
