1980 Debategate (Briefing-Gate)
2009 Campaign examination "Rendezvous with Destiny", Reagan biographer and historian Craig Shirley wrote that the briefing papers were passed to Casey by Paul Corbin, an aide from Ted Kennedy's failed primary campaign.
As attorney general, Bobby wanted to get Paul Corbin a job in his brother's administration.
But RFK's principal assistant, John Seigenthaler, reviewed the massive FBI file on Corbin and, as he recalled in an interview, told the attorney general, "You can't hire him! You can't hire him!"
Instead, at RFK's instructions, Paul Corbin was quietly put on retainer with the Democratic National Committee. Kennedy even gave Corbin the key to his private elevator at the Justice Department.
