That's what most people assume. I'm not so sure.

I'm always willing to be mistaken, too.
But reportedly, there was a jubilant reaction at CBS
when the White House did their "no comment" thing.
Whether CBS based "unimpeach" on that or not, they
grossly misread it.
I have to wonder if the White House actually ran the
memos by Bush. If so, he would instantly have known
that they were forgeries (based on the content, not
the formatting), and might well have said - let's
hold our cards on this.
Whatever the reason, the White House passing on the docs and handing them back to Rather/CBS was one of the all-time moves. Here's the rope back, Dan!
One thing for sure when Rather said unimpeachable source
we all knew he wasn't talking about Clinton!
