As written, it means they were looking for any information they could find that would embarrass the Democrats. If you use "the" there, you are implying that there is some specific information there that they might find, and that information would embarrass the Democrats. If you've already informed the reader about some embarrassing information inside the office, then you would be referring to that information. _________________ You live a new life for every new language you speak. -Czech proverb |
