During the Gore - * 2000 race, wasn't a videotape.....
of * practicing for an upcoming debate with Gore found by a Gore staffer in the Gore offices?

And didn't Gore supporters find this suspicious?

Isn't it possible that this planted questioner was discovered by an operative of a competing campaign (not necessarily a Democratic Campaign, either)?

Hill was FRAMED! FRAMED, I tell you!

2. The tape & debate prep book were mailed to the guy who was gonna play * in Gore's practice debates
When he (Tom Downey) saw what had been mailed to him, he immediately turned it over the F.B.I. and quit Gore's campaign. He was the only person associated with Gore's campaign who ever saw them.

An employee of Bush's media firm was eventually charged with the theft:

She was found guilty and received a year in prison:

3. Dunno, but George WILL was a THEIF of CARTER's debate books
Well, they landed in his hands, and he did NOT blow the whistle the way GORE's crew DID when some wingnut flunky female Mexican-American mailed Shrub's game plan to GORE's crew.

4. It was a republican dirty trick
they talked about it on the news. A little bit. I think they found that the bush campaign had planted it.
