With all due respect, Kate, I don’t understand how your posting answers mine. Yes, the records have been under subpoena for months — but they haven’t been surrendered, have they? And why wouldn’t there be a shredding party in Jefferson’s office if he and his staff were tipped off? As for the House counsel and his supposed possession of copies of the documents, no law-enforcement person in the world would presume that those copies constituted the complete set of Jefferson’s materials — for the very simple reason that he is clearly trying to evade anybody else casting an eye on them.
