Bet your hiney, he does! Dumping an aide is almost always a CYA move. Those guys/girls don't do things like that without being asked to.
You would hope so, but not this one, I don't think. Just a real stupid human. Even if you have crass political thoughts like that, you don't write it down in a memo.
Chappaquiddick ........ for future reference.

^^^^^^
And if you have a paper with those crass political thoughts on it you do not hand it to a member of the opposition [Harkin] who apparently is slightly sympathetic to your view on the issue.
That is why I believe that Martinez had not actually read the paper he handed to Harkin. However, Harkin is the person who called the Post and ABC!
Oh, well, so much for the "forgery" story.
I'm shocked-politicians playing politics.
PHONE NUMBER FOR CONGRESS including Martinez number for 2 days only:1-866-808-0065 to ask for the end of dem filibustering of judges nominated by Prez. Bush.
As I remember it, the Dem judiciary memos were illicitly read. That is wrong, and someone SHOULD have been taken to the woodshed over it.
And yes, the memos showed a terrible truth: while our country is in trouble, ALL of Washington is focused on partisanship. One day we're going to regret these times.
I guess he didn't. That would have made him one stupid man, handing it to Harkin.
As I remember it, the Dem judiciary memos were illicitly read.
^^^^
As I remember it, the Judiciary committee shared computers and the passwords were not changed when the Rs took control of the committee from the Ds.
An R staffer found the memos by a simple click! Nothing illicit about it.
But you would have a hard time hearing that from any MSM report.
How were they illicitly read?
According to Senate Sergeant at Arms William Pickle's final report, some folders were not sufficiently protected on the servers used by the Judiciary commitee.
I think the statement that they were accessed by a "simple click" is a little too kind.
from the report:
"The clerk first became aware that he could access the files of Democratic staff some time in October or November of 2001. He made this discovery after watching the Committee's Systems Administrator perform some work on his computer. An admittedly curious person, the clerk attempted to duplicate what the System Administrator had done. In so doing, he was able to observe all of the network's other users' home directories."
Documents were passed around, and though some of the recipients testified that they shredded the docs and admonished the clerk, no one did anything to help fix the problem or bring it to anyone's attention.
About 4600 were downloaded over 18 months, some were leaked.
