But in today's follow-up story reporting Lindsey's interrogation, the paper failed to explain why the Trousergate grand jury has turned to him.

The answer: Lindsey and Berger were involved in preparing Clinton for his own testimony before the 9/11 Commission. In fact, last April 9, both the sticky-fingered aide and the notorious Clinton damage controller accompanied the ex-president to his 9/11 interrogation, according to Time magazine.

The obvious question grand jurors will want answered: Did Clinton, through Lindsey, know that Berger had stolen the top secret docs?

Another question undoubtedly on the minds of prosecutors: Who was Berger contacting when he told guards at the National Archives that he needed privacy to make a few cell phone calls, as reported by the New York Daily News just days after Trousergate broke?

"All I know is what he [Berger] said. He made a public statement," a tight-lipped Lindsey told the Post after testifying under oath yesterday.
