Wasn't there a woman that worked for the Bush campaign that they found was mailing documents directly to the DNC? Or did I just dream that?
No, that really happened... in Texas I think.
A blast from the past - the mole in the Bush campaign:
"The latest scandal to hit Al Gore is that his campaign allegedly planted a ‘mole’ in the campaign of Governor Bush. A copy of Bush’s debate practice mysteriously showed up in Gore’s headquarters. When a disgruntled Gore intern turned over the tape to the FBI, the Justice Department launched an immediate inquiry. ABC’s Jackie Judd uncovered the story.
Judd, in her investigation, relied primarily on a source whose identity she is withholding for his protection. In an on-camera ‘in shadow’ interview, the source revealed incriminating evidence against the Gore campaign. The source told of high-ranking Gore staffer Michael Doyne who bragged about the Bush mole during the source’s first day on the job. Doyne showed him the fated computer where the mole’s e-mails were received, letting Doyne know ‘where Bush was going before Bush.’
Despite Judd’s efforts to protect her source, the Gore campaign was able to obtain his name and address. Promptly after discovering this, the source states, he was berated by furious Gore cronies demanding to know what exactly he revealed to the press.
Doyne has signed an affidavit denying knowledge of the existence of such a mole. He began to recant some of his statements, however, after investigators discovered e-mails warning friends to keep ‘hush, hush’ about the mole.
The story was set to air on ABC’s World News Tonight with Peter Jennings, featuring the shadowed interview. At the last second, top ABC officials scrapped the story.
Unsurprisingly, Gore denies all knowledge."

She did not work for the campaign directly. She worked for a media company that did some work for the Bush team. I think she ended up with some jail time.
I think that was in 2000.
