Reply #8: Before I began trying to ID the staffer that inserted it I read somewhere...

... that a staffer was added to Specter's staff, who he did not request, but came to him from the White House, and that this staffer had previously worked for Clarence Thomas.

Now I cannot find that reference.

But as I got curious, I began looking to see who it was and began to notice that at this late date no one in the Press has stated on the record exactly who it was.

So then I thought, well obviously Specter had to take some corrective action or it would look like he condoned it. NOthing.

Next I thought, well Specter has admitted it came from his staff, so there must be people coming out of the woodwork to question him about how it happened, and what he did in response once it was known. Nothing again.

There is obviously a lid on this -- and that staffer would be a key witness that needs to be receiving a subpoena to testify.
