Is there an audio of this exchange that can be replayed on the radio talk shows?

Are there any laws against leaking such information?

Ok, well the only thing about Davis wanting this to be old news by the election is why even wait this long to leak it?
The investigation is 9 months old.
Why not leak it two months ago when the story would have been forgotten by the time the Demoncratic convention rolled around, let alone the election.
To: Deb
Lawrence O'Donnell on Dennis Miller, night before last, said it was a leak from democrats. I believe he specified Kerry forces. That makes sense, doesn't it?

Lanny Davis:
But I'm afraid if I asked John Solomon "Who leaked this to you?" he would give you the same answer that he's always given me when I asked that question, which is "None of your business."
I suspect this is a
dread warning to Solomon. It's what Davis
demands Solomon repond. What's not clear is WHO is up for the implementation of the implied "... or else.".
Some clues might be in the audio.

Mark Levin nailed this one!
To: kattracks
Haven't had caffeine yet, but why would they know of the investigation and then put "The Burglar" on Team John F'n Kerry and then leak the info, if not to derail Kerry? Or, is this to protect the Clintons? Or, is to derail Kerry so Edwards/Evita, Evita/Edwards end up being the ticket? There are so many possibilities. That the Dems leaked seems most likely just going by Lanny Davis' interview. But for whom and why? Is Berger, old-school Soviet, falling on a sword, half a sword or no sword at all?
The Impeached One commented that the timing was interesting and I don't think there is any argument there...but if the Dems leaked, it is their timing so what do they hope to achieve, other than derailing Kerry?

Yeh, I even saw that little dweeb, Peter Fenn, out there the other night lying his a** off. I'm waiting for Robert Wechsler of Floriduh to come out from under his rock.

I fully understand why reporter Solomon won't disclose the name of the leaker. That reason is probably the only remnant of journalistic ethics that survives today. HOWEVER, if the leaker then turns around and accuses others of the leak and thereby manufactures news, isn't the original journalist ethically bound to answer a direct question like "did Karl Rove or a republican make the leak as Davis contends?" with the word "no?" I would think that if a leaker plants a story in a blatant attempt to misuse the "sanctity of the source" then the leaker violates the trust and all bets are off. What are they teaching in J-school these days?

Re: Post 15. I agree with your analysis 100%.
I think Bergler would have stalled this disclosure longer if he could have -- maybe until AFTER the convention. But I think it's a good shot that Bergler is going to be indicted. If Bergler hadn't gotten himself out of the way now, Kerry's judgement would have been called into question.
I'm sure Kerry's miffed now, but if this story had come after the convention, I think Kerry would have been even more irate.

Davis has been bed with Solomon for at least two decades.
This has been an old trick of Davis's to leak the bad news via Solomon and others so it can be old bad news.
Solomon would never be honest enough to do what you suggested.

If you look at how many Clintonians surround this affair...
My take is that the Clintonistas were ready to sacrifice one of their own (who was already in deep doo doo)and accept collateral damage to the Clinton legacy at this particular time for one reason:
Hurt Kerry and Damage him during his convention week.
All part of the ongoing Hillary-Kerry feud and her chance to run in 2008.
