Apparently, destruction of, and withholding of, evidence has become SOP in the Clinton "Justice" Department. From the Drudge site: SEN THOMPSON VOWS TO PROBE DISAPPEARANCE OF TRIE DOCUMENTS Congressional investigators are now looking into the "possible destruction of evidence by people within the Justice Department" in relationship to the 1997 fundraising investigation of Clinton pal Charlie Trie, the SCRIPPS-HOWARD NEWS SERVICE is reporting in Saturday cycles . Citing Sen. Fred Thompson, the chairman of the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee, SCRIPPS-HOWARD'S James Brosnan reports that the Senate will now question Justice and FBI officials over the disappearance of 27 pages from an FBI agent's notebook. Roberta Parker, the FBI's lead agent in the Trie case, claims the missing pages detail specific complaints about Laura Ingersoll -- Justice's lead prosecutor in the Trie case who was later replaced by Charles LaBella. The notes apparently describe how the Justice Department blocked the FBI from searching Trie's home after learning that Trie and an employee were destroying evidence pertinent to their investigation. Ingersoll was questioned on Wednesday about the missing pages, as were Justice and FBI officials looking into the mystery. On Friday Sen. Thompson claimed not to be impressed with an internal probe -- saying it "wasn't satisfactory" -- and has decided to move forward with a Senate inquiry: "I tried to think of an innocent explanation of this and I can't come up with one," Thompson said on Friday.
