I notice that Drudge said he got it from federal sources, which could mean that a whistleblower at ABC tipped off the feds rather than going to Drudge directly.
It seems that the CIA had this tape way before ABC ever obtained it. Stratergy...
I still suspect that there were two tapes out there (at least) -- ABC had one, decided to dub the tape and cut the last 15 minutes, and give the dub one to the CIA. Another media outlet had been given the tape and also turned it over to the CIA. The CIA notices that the ABC tape is 15 minutes short -- that's why it was the FEDS reporting it rather than some ABC mole.
I am just shaking my head.
I hate being in a panic mode, but I feel a panic attack coming on. This is getting a bit too deep for my liking.
