I can't imagine what it would be. However, we know from his background, including all the way back to his joining the Ken Starr investigation, that he's not a man of good character, has broken the law before, and is the kind of person who's prone to extremely conservative views and the kind of dishonesty and ruthlessness required to advance them.

I hope it's not related to sex in any way. The Republicans use that to swiftboat so often that their voters will be unable to even consider that we aren't doing the same.

Something with documents would be nice. Accepting bribes, graft, embezzlement.
