Josh and I were just discussing how in the world we are ever going to make our way through 3,000 pages when it hit us: we don’t have to. Our readers can help.
So here’s what we’re going to do. This comment thread will be our HQ for sorting through tonight’s document dump.
And to make it efficient and comprehensible, we’ll have a system. As you can see on the House Judiciary Committee’s website, they’ve begun reproducing 50-page pdfs of the documents with a simple numbering system, 3-19-2007 DOJ-Released Documents 1-1, then 1-2, then 1-3, etc. So pick a pdf, any pdf and give it a look. If you find something interesting (or damning), then tell us about it in the comment thread below.
Please begin your comment with the pdf number and please provide the page number of the pdf.
So, for instance, a comment might read:
1-3Hey, there’s an email here on page 27 from Kyle Sampson where he says, “I’m thinking that we should make up bogus justifications for the firing of all eight U.S. attorneys in order to cover up our true, political motivations. Judge says it’s a great idea, so does Karl. What do you think, Mr. President?”
If you want to be a trailblazer and read through a virgin pdf, then you should be able to see which pdfs haven’t been looked at by scrolling through the comment thread. Have at it!
