A reader wrote in with a very interesting question:
“Why would anyone forge the documents?”
Why, indeed? Whowould forge them is just as good a question. That, to me, rather than whether or not the President and his staff relied on British intelligence for a line in the SOTU address, seems to be the reall issue.

Now France is claiming some other documents are forged in regard to some actions of their very own…….hrmmmmmmm!!

Money?

Motive? Who paid for them? Why were they paying for them? What did the intend to accomplish? Etc.
I am sure money was involved.

Slate has a rundown; it looks like someone assumed (probably correctly) that a second-string intelligence agency would pay cash money for them.
