| The Classic Journalistic Questions, Novak, and the "Agent" |
|
The classic journalistic questions include:
Who?
What?
When?
Where?
How?
Why?
Who benefits?
The question that may matter most as the other shoe drops in this story: "where?" - as in, "where was Novak when he supposedly had this conversation, and where was the supposed source?"
State laws vary on the legality of making an audio recording of a conversation. If the two were in the same room, state law controls.
If the two were chatting by phone across state lines, Federal law controls.

| 1. The operative question is probably "were the voices in Novak's head really the source?" |

He's already admitted that it's hearsay. At this point, I'd be surprised if it's even that.
Edit: typo

| 2. So You Think It Totally Implausible... |

... that someone in the HRC campaign (e.g., Mark Penn) reached out to an undecided superdelegate with insinuations about Obama, and that the superdelegate then spoke to Novak?
