Our newsbreak this morning said only staffers and certain Commission members -- a lot were left in the dark if the report was right this morning. The staffers were the ones that vetted this whole deal.
Lehman and Rohmer are both livid they didn't know so it did not get vetted to the whole Commission. I would love to know which members did get this info and if that is what Burger was stealing.

Burgers sentence was delayed? I thought he got a $10K fine and a slap on the wrist.

I'd be willing to bet that the Commission members who knew were Gorelick and BenVeniste, charter members of the BlameBushFirsters, and that they ordered the staff to cool their jets.
