The timing of Cleland's trip and phone conversation with Burkett is raising suspicions.
Isn't Burkett claiming he gave the forgeries to Cleland and that is the last he saw them or had anything to do with them?
From John Kerry's 1971 testimony:
Of course, we don't have the position of power to get our ideas out. I said, "If I take some crippled veterans doesn't to the White House and we chain ourselves to the gates, will we get coverage?" "Oh, yes, we will cover that."
Nothing has changed.
