Someone suggested that Sandy Burglar might have been trying to get rid of the evidence about this team. Tin foil hat on now.
This is not a "conspiracy theory".
Former Clinton Administration National Security Advisor Sandy Berger pled guilty to smuggling five classified documents, including a highly secret memorandum, out of the National Archives related to the Clinton administration’s response to terrorism. Berger, who was preparing for his testimony before the 9/11 Commission at the time, later destroyed the documents, shredding them with scissors at his office, and lied to investigators.
That part is not supposition. Those are facts. Furthermore, a logical timeline has now been established. Accordingly, it is perfectly reasonable to at least suspect, if not conclude, that information about the existence of this team and its reports could be the items destroyed.
No tin foil hat is required.
Well .. I'm tending toward that too .. because the info had to be worth Sandy getting caught. That to me says that the name "Atta" had to be gotten rid of.
And .. the statements by some of the committee that when they got that info .. they dismissed it because it didn't fit in with the direction they were going. I believe Gorelick had already led them away from the "Atta" information.
