At first I was wondering why Judicial Watch filed the complaint when they already knew the documents in question had been cleared for release and Booker knew it. Then it hit me...they're brilliant! They have Booker in between a rock and a hard place. If he admits he violated the rules - and the rules WERE actually broken - then he deserves to be disciplined for the violation. On the other hand, if in his defense, if he admits that the rules weren't broken because the documents were okayed for release, then he looks like the fool he is for his histrionics and playing the martyr. Brilliant!

Exactly, and in the second example it makes him a liar.

Nice catch. Heck; I should have seen that too. I guess I’m getting slow in my older years.

At the very least his intent was either to break the rules he swore to uphold or to deceive the American public. Either way he’s fubar. No win. Sanction him for fraud or deception. It doesn’t really matter to me personally.
