Agents took Lozano's fingerprints--twice--as well as those of the other five employees at Maverick. And they shipped two computers Lozano had used to the FBI labs in Washington. They interrogated McKinnon and other top Bush officials and suggested in those sessions that the sender of the package might have been working for Bush rather than against him, as part of a conspiracy to sabotage debate negotiations between the Gore and Bush campaigns. "They have a number of theories," said an exasperated McKinnon, "and that's one of them...
...aides huddled at the Governor's ranch outside Waco trying to prepare for Tuesday's first debate.

...assistant did so and returned the list to McKinnon, who placed it back in his debate book, which sat on a shelf in his office. Inconspicuous, the hundred or so pages were not marked in a way that hinted at the contents. Maverick kept the debate-prep video, a copy of which was included in the package to Downey, in the "tape room." "Sometimes that room's locked, sometimes it's not," says a Bush source...
