We didn’t have the chance to get to this earlier but CQ’s Jeff Stein went on MSNBC’s Countdown last night to talk about his now-famous report on Jane Harman and AIPAC*.

Among other things, Stein said that there are “several people who have known this for some time.”

And interestingly, he adds that, according to his sources,the investigation into Harman that Time first reported on back in 2006 “never got started” because it was quashed by then-AG Alberto Gonzales.

The whole segment is worth watching…

* This sentence has been corrected from an earlier version that wrongly said Stein had appeared on Hardball.
