Berger spirited the documents out last fall, but the investigation became public only a week before the Democratic Convention.
The Democrats had expected a July Surprise on the order of having Bin Laden captured. They did not expect the July Surprise to be the imminent arrest of the key emissary from the Foreign Policy Community to the Kerry campaign. They did not expect to see him get nailed for a national security/espionage-related offense that carries hard prison time for both the thief and for anyone who lacks the security clearance and the need-to-know but who reads the documents anyway.
It's become obvious that this story is developing legs. Even the Establishment Media can no longer ignore it, and soon they will no longer be able to play it down. Because it needs to blow up in full force by the day the convention opens, I expect the velocity of the unraveling to increase exponentially.
Maybe the Republicans aren't the Stupid Party anymore.
i would LOVE to see him do the perp walk during the convention. the dems will have faux 'outrage' but then this will make SURE that the story has legs.
The "Established Media"? No way. It will be:
"Oh, everyone does it. It's no big deal. Get over it. Next up, Bush mispronounces nuclear. Should an independent grammar commission be called?
