The Saturday Chattanooga Times-Free Press had a bombshell: Corker e-mails missing

Former Chattanooga Mayor Bob Corker’s official e-mails are missing from the city of Chattanooga and may have been stolen, according to city officials and a police report. The e-mails, contained on a compact disc, were discovered missing after the campaign of Republican U.S. Senate candidate Ed Bryant sought to obtain them last month through an Open Records Act request, officials said.

Mr. Bryant, Mr. Corker and Van Hilleary are seeking the Republican Senate nomination in the Aug. 3 primary election. The request for the e-mail was made as researchers from the Bryant campaign comb through Corker-era city documents, including audits.

I bet Mr. Corker has copies. He ought to cough them up, now. And if there's nothing damaging or embarrassing in them, I expect he will do so sooner than later.

Bill, I share your concerns here. This story is outrageous. I'm heartened to know both Corker's opponents, who call themselves the real conservatives, are demanding these records be produced. Democrats across Tennessee should join conservatives in these demands.

This is far too convenient an event for Corker, stinks to high heaven.

His one and only claim that is true is that he helped continue to develop the riverfront of the city. It should not be a surprise though he was the real estate developer of all those projects. Unfortunately he raised property taxes and hotel taxes to pay for his deals. His campaign slogan should be: his profit is your loss.
