  •  OK. (4.00 / 2)

    he had read Democratic memos that a Republican staffer on the Judiciary Committee accessed through a glitch on the panel server.

    I am supposed to buy that?
    Just on the principle, I don't think so.

    I hope this pseudo sacrificial lamb game changes nothing in the appraoch/response of the Dems.
    Jeesh, why do I have to worry tho.

    •  And anyway..... (none / 1)

      .... how is an internal memo a federal document? I thought that federal documents get published in the federal register.

      If the Democrats don't get some PR juice out of this one, they're hopeless.

      •  Under the radar (none / 1)

        Thanks for the update, n69n.  I hadn't heard anything else about this story since it broke late January.  I hope the Dems don't take this "peace offering" seriously.  If they're willing to sacrifice 1 high ranking aide before any real inquiry takes place, there must be more to the story - and I'd be willing to bet that it goes higher than just Miranda.
