Trousergate?

You gotta love the comment at this post about this story.

I think it's refreshing that a Clinton Administration official is in trouble for what he put INTO his pants.

[Update on Tuesday morning]

Reportedly, he also "inadvertently" stuffed documents into his socks.

I'm really having deja vu here--it's bringing back memories of all the Clintonian shenanigans and evidence tampering in the nineties. It's also a stark reminder of how unserious the Clinton administration was about national security. After all, it had a commander in chief who engaged in behavior that would have exposed him to blackmail.

[Update at 10 AM]

Gerard Vanderleun can sympathize with Sandy. Well, sort of.

The papers will be found about six years from now in Hilary's Senate Office, and no one will be able to recall how they got there.

Seesh, What do these people have to do to get arrested?

The Washington Post reports that there were numerous copies of these documents in various government agencies, so it is doubtful that he was trying to "destroy" them.

We don't know what his motive was. I suspect that he just wanted to have them to use for political fodder, not necessarily to destroy them.
