what did the Republicans like Lehman---a pretty straight shooter---have to gain by allowing this to be swept under the rug?
I dunno, but when he asked former FBI Director Louis Freeh about possible middle eastern involvement and the work of Jayna Davis, he let Freeh off the hook when he said "He'd never heard of it".
No follow ups were asked!
could it be that the staffers were in on keeping it from republicans?
Can republicans, even if they are straight shooters, trust their own staffers?
