Yea there trying to reverse what the flow which most likely was... Burkett to DNC to CBS with the DNC referring (via an off the record channel) CBS back to Burkett so the DNC could say that had no hand in it.... CBS admits the DNC wan in the loop but are trying to claim it was FYI to the DNC
Burkett>DNC>CBS>Burkett...
Seems plausible. I think there are two things missing or incomplete at the moment...
1. Where do we insert the first $$$
2. Who at the DNC 'advised' Burkett
