Presidential Precedent: New info?

Bulge-watchers have spent the past week or so finding new ways to look at old evidence. That situation may soon change.

I have just received private word from someone in a position to know that a former president also used a "wire," in much the same way alleged in the case of G.W. Bush.

Obviously, any evidence that other presidents have used such a device would go a long ways toward credibilizing the accusations against Dubya. And that, in turn, might well give this story new life -- perhaps even "front page" life.

Which, coming right before the election, could create an interesting situation.

Right now, this angle needs firming up -- and, preferably, multiple sourcing. I'll be trying to do that job in the next few days. In the meantime...watch this space! And pass along the word that something may be coming.
