Maybe Sandy Berger stole those too.

So you share his opinion. For all I know you may be right. Nevertheless, an opinion is nothing to debunk.
Surely if ‘she conspired to violate the Constitution, the rules of the House, the rules of the committee and the rules of confidentiality’ then she prima facie committed an offence? She obviously was not disbarred, but was an official complaint made and was she investigated?
If she had been, I can’t see how Zeifman could have failed to mention that.
I’m not a fan of Hillary’s by any means, but this looks like a whole lotta nothin’. And FWIW, Bernard Nussbaum was Bill Clinton’s first White House Counsel, so apparently he had no problem working closely again with Hillary.
Zeifman names Nussbaum as a coconspirator with HRC in the alleged misconduct.
And did Nussbaum face any disciplinary charges at the time?
Nobody involved in the investigation did, AFAIK, and Zeifman surely would have mentioned such a thing.
That would be a great thing for Zeifman to do. However, according to the Washington Post review, he instead bases his allegations entirely on his personal notes made at the time. If Zeifman can’t support his own case, why should anyone dig through the National Archives to challenge him?
I would almost categorize this as a real “he said/she said” situation, except that nobody has even bothered to try to respond to Zeifman’s allegations. It’s more like “he said/nobody else but Hillary haters even care.”
And not even that many of them, apparently.
It’s all part of the conspiracy, man!
The story has to be bunked before it can be debunked. How is anyone supposed to prove that he didn’t fire Hillary? Are we supposed to produce a document saying “Hillary, you are not fired”?
It’ll be in its bunk.

This would make an awesome sig.
A search of Daily Kos finds no article mentioning Zeifman; ditto Wonkette. I found parts of the original article on Huffington but these seem to posted by commentors. I question how left-leaning Slate is, but an article discussing Zeifman’s problems with Hillary–one that predates this latest brouhaha–pretty much dismisses him as a crank,. And given these results, I’m just not bothering to take this exercise any further with the unfamiliar (to me at least) MyDD.
Compare this to Townhall and Hot Air, right-wing noisemakers who posted the article as a breathless revealation that “may bring the curtain down on her political future.”
If anyone is still unsure of what I’m “insinuating”, I’ll spell it out: This is more of the usual blathering horsesh*t designed to distract voters from the real issues, a symptom not just of how bankrupt the right-wing is, but a sign of desperation from a Republican party that knows it will be buzzsawed in November. I’m virtually certain Ann Coulter will have a column on this in the coming week, as sure a sign as anything you can blithely ignore it for the nonsense it is.
Daily Kos did chew over this story when two or three diaries trumpeted it more or less uncritically a couple of days ago. The Kossacks analyzed it pretty much as y’all have so far in this thread and deemed it crapola.
