They were threatened by a DC attorney who told them that if they revealed the name of his client, he would file a huge lawsuit. They backed down, and the attorney never named his client, nor did ABC. It could have been a bluff by the attorney — maybe his name is on the list! LOL!
I think that contributed to it - but I believe there were some names of Democrats, or names in the MSM that ABC didn't want released.
They released one name - that of a Bush Admin political appointee. No one else. Tobias was someone that 99.99999999% of American never heard of, and he is ultimately forgettable.
He was the biggest fish they could fry to try to embarrass Bush and/or Republicans in DC.
I am sure there were Democrats on the list, but ABC must have been sorely disappointed that after scouring 46 lbs of phone records - there were no more Republicans to destroy.
So ABC threw in the towel and consoled themselves with destroying one man appointed by a Republican.

Ummmm....Bill Clinton?
What would have been the basis for this “huge lawsuit”?
—They were threatened by a DC attorney—
Could it be...Vernon Jordan???!!!
