How did this stay quiet for eight (8) months? That answer is almost as interesting as to what is still missing.
"...what is still missing"
That is the issue here. Berger knew he would be caught, but he was willing to take the fall. WHY?? What did he destroy?? I'm afraid that the frenzy over his guilt will overshadow what he destroyed and who else was involved. He is willing to fall on the sword for BC and the Dem Party. We'll probably never know the whole story. Berger will be the scapegoat and the Repubs. will be happy and soon it will be yesterdays news.

Possibly because Berger hoped to cut a deal. When that became impossible, his only chance was to turn it into a media circus in the hope of escaping under the cloud of 'partisan persecution'.
Looks as if we have grownups in the Justice Department. Probably leaked by Berger or his lawyer so the democrats could get infront of it with spin. We may not find out for sometime what papers are still missing.
