I have written more than a few Memoranda For the Record, but rarely did I write one unless I wanted to make sure my own view of an event was recorded.  It was almost always because something bad happened and I was covering my backside in case the thing blew up and was discovered later.  This is almost never because I thought the course of action was correct and nobody would question it later.  Nobody needs cover for something that was done correctly and above board.

No wonder Susan Rice’s  memo written 2 weeks after the event writes a memo saying the President told her to do things the wtay everyone is supposed to.  Nobody does that.  They don’t have a reason to do it, but there have been many posed in the last few hours since its discovery.  It is however, the first time I have heard of this planting email so it could be discovered later.  Very clever.
