-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.insightmag.com/articles/newsalert.html Honey Pot of Info Causes a Swarm --------------------------------- By Paul M. Rodriguez - Insight Magazine Vol. 15, No. 2 - January 11-18, 1999 The White House has launched an investigation and rumors are flying at the president's compound following an exclusive report in news alert! ("Looking for Information in All the Wrong Places," and "Computer Glitch Leads to Trove of 'Lost' E-Mails at White House," Dec. 28) exposing the existence of detailed telephone records never turned over under subpoena and discovery of "lost" e-mails that include private chit-chats between Monica Lewinsky and friends. Justice Department and congressional investigators now are working quietly, as one federal law-enforcement source tells news alert!, and "rapidly before the files disappear," to track down the records long sought by investigators. White House insiders and government lawyers familiar with the flurry of activity say that beepers and phones have been buzzing to determine who spilled the beans and to get control of the records before federal agents swarm in. "They're in a panic over this," a West Wing source tells news alert! Although a White House spokesman sought to minimize the importance of Insight's disclosure of the e-mails, of which there are between 50,000 and 100,000, by claiming some involving Lewinsky appear to have been duplicates, another White House aide confirms that nobody knows for sure how many others are originals that should have been turned over to investigators upon discovery in midsummer 1998. "It's a legal headache," a White House lawyer says. The telephone records are a completely different matter. "We were told they did not exist," one federal law-enforcement source says. "If we can find them they will prove to be invaluable." Indeed, the details of these records, which go back years, would show who was called and when, by dates and times -- information that, to date, federal and congressional investigators have failed to secure. Curiously, Justice Department officials do not appear eager to secure the records, according to several federal law-enforcement sources. "It's as though they don't care you've discovered this gold mine." With Attorney General Janet Reno dousing an FBI-led task force probing campaign-finance wrongdoings, some agents and prosecutors believe they would not get support to force the White House to turn over the gold mine of records uncovered by news alert!. "I must confess I don't understand why nobody's acted on your tip," a dejected federal law-enforcement source says. Some folks at FBI headquarters are wondering the same thing. Stay tuned.
