__WATERGATE II: Probe of GOP Hacking of Federal Computers Widens, Leads to High Places

"An investigation into how excerpts from 15 Democratic memos showed up in the pages of the conservative-leaning newspapers and were posted to a website last November," reports the Boston Globe. So far, about 120 people have been questioned and over a half dozen computers seized, "including four Judiciary servers, one server from the office of Senate majority leader Bill Frist of Tennessee, and several desktop hard drives. But the scope of both the intrusions and the likely disclosures is now known to have been far more extensive than the November incident, staffers and others familiar with the investigation say." Private memos were allegedly passed onto Robert Novak, the corrupt columnist who outed CIA agent Valerie Plame and used in a February 2003 column to try to smear Sen. Ted Kennedy.

From the N.Y. Times:

(snip) Senate Inquiry Into Memos That Went Astray Nears End
By NEIL A. LEWIS

Published: January 23, 2004


WASHINGTON, Jan. 22 — The Senate's sergeant-at-arms said on Thursday that he was nearing an end to an investigation into how several confidential memorandums written by Democratic staff aides about dealing with judicial nominations ended up in the hands of Republican staff members.

The investigation by the office of the sergeant-at-arms, William Pickle, was undertaken last November after parts of the memorandums appeared in news accounts in The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Times and a column by Robert Novak.

Some of the memorandums from the offices of Senators Edward M. Kennedy of Massachusetts and Richard J. Durbin of Illinois, both Democrats, discussed strategy and tactics on dealing with President Bush's judicial nominees.

Democrats and Republicans in the Senate have been engaged in a bitter feud over Mr. Bush's judicial nominees and the issue of the memorandums has only added to the anger in the Judiciary Committee.

After the Democrats complained that their confidential memorandums were being stolen and distributed to conservative news outlets, Mr. Pickle began an investigation on Nov. 19. He had committee computers seized and used Secret Service agents and a computer expert from General Dynamics to determine whether and how the Democrats' computer files were hacked into as part of a possible improper political operation.

8. As far as I'm concerned they are aiding and abetting a Traitor

Ann Coulter says Liberals are traitors but Novak sold out an American intelligence agent. It doesn't get any more treasonous than that.
