[11th Earl of Mar]

Can you imagine how many background checks GHWB had to go through as CIA Director, VP, POTUS, plus campaign background checks from 1980, 1984, 1988.

There are people who knew there was classified info about Bush, who 50 years ago was a nobody. But in the late `70's, he became somebody.

Some people had to know that there was a classified WWII file about their boss. And who is not going to ask the question up the chain of command, "What are we supposed to do with this?"

The documents were not just classified, they were sealed. To view classified documents requires the proper level of security clearance. To view sealed documents requires a court order. People working in the Bush administration would have no reason to suspect anything about the sealed documents because the label would not be descriptive enough to draw attention.
