Richard Mac–

It isn’t clear from the reports I have seen that all of the original drafts have disappeared. I think at least two may have, but not necessarily all five, six or whatever.

As Mark Levin points out in The Corner this morning, it would be almost impossible for these docs to be “lost,” even on a messy desk, since they are held inside red folders and have lots of scary lettering with warnings and such all over them.

It is becoming clear to me it’s the handwritten marginalia at issue, not the versions, since these would probably be available from computers, etc.

Let’s think about who would have been penning things on these docs for a minute: Berger, Clarke, The Big He, Gorelick, Janet Reno, William Cohen. Loads of possibilities for embarrassing comments from that bunch.
