Lawrence O'Donnell on "Scarborough" MSNBC, just said that he believes it was Berger who leaked this to the press. That he must have recently told the Kerry campaign what was going on (the investigation) and that they must have told them that he needs to get this out NOW. O'Donnell said that the Bush administration had nothing to do with this leak.

I find this very believable.

I had a thought this afternoon about the leak.

The Dems are saying it was leaked to take away coverage from the convention.

But...was it leaked by the Dems at this particular time because the story will die once convention coverage starts...that's what I'm wondering.

This stuff is making my head spin. Chris O'Donnell is not one of my favorites but Berger leaking makes the most sense so far.
Berger knows he's in it deep, Clinton's lawyers are in this deep (Lindsey got the first heads up from National Archives), they aren't getting any traction with DOJ. Leak the story, embarrass Bush, DOJ and Republicans for leaking (SOP), let the Republicans grandstand about theories, spin the "Mr. Magoo" image for sympathy (media eats this up) and Bush and company look like mean fools to the gullible public.
It doesn't explain what Berger was doing stuffing classified documents but everyone is following the red herring. Takes care of the 9/11 report and has petered out before Kerry's convention.

I'm suprised O'Donnell did not follow the toe the corporate line, he must know something. There is gonna be a mity big 'there' there.
