Former Gov. John Kitzhaber is seeking to block federal criminal investigators from getting access to personal emails he stored on state computers. The Oregonian broke that news last week, noting Kitzhaber has succeeded in delaying by nearly a week the state's response to a federal criminal subpoena deadline of March 10.
