AND BRIAN, did you read all those slogans at a bumper-sticker site? Do you really believe your self? You people are so simplistic and non-factually based, you must be successful criminal atorneys. I’m sure you love Amy because she keeps you in business!

Ow… HAHAHHAHAHAHAHHA… quit it! You’re killing me here….!!!! Hahahhahhh HAHAHAHHAHAHAHHA!!!!

Might makes right…. AHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAH!! HAHAHAH!

You righties just really crack me up.

After six years of using “might makes right” and “end justifying the means” to justify torture, prisoner abuse, lying about nukes, secret courts, illegal wiretapping, using illegal chemical weapons, breaking the Geneva conventions, and every other crime…

… you attack a blogger for those ideas!

Pull the other one, willya?

We don’t know this yet Jeff……..and it definitely shows Amy’s poor judgment in who she hires. Why she might even hire a bunch of leakers from the CIA who would sell out our country for political points!!

Greg:

I think your post has hit the isue doe AMy right on the head here. If she had turned it over to local police as she should have it would end up in HER office.
And we all know that the staff would have fone wild to prosecute her or to cooperate in the prosecution of her in any way they can.
Hence the FBI, saying they complained on Monday, probably an inquiry phone call from a staffer, and then a formal on WEDNESDAY and only then notifying Kennedy as if he had no interest in this at all. I don;t beleive that she notified Howell at all. It was handled poorly.

The former got turned over to the FBI, while the latter folks got paid off by the President of the United States.

Any other questions?

My guess is Amy knows the worst is yet to come.

Because the FBI investigation will be federal and kept quiet from local authorities and take forever!!!
Well past the election day!

So she has it all wrapped up nice and tight and out of the way until the voters have spoken.
And she took five days to get the ball rolling in it.
This is completely wrong and deceitful of her.

Tara is senior and is experienced. She knew better than to participate in this kind of thing…unless it was standard procedure for her???!!!

Coverup Klobuchar has a lot of explaining to do and if she is innocent why doesn’t she answer the questions posed to her now????

She lies to us!

The Ritchie campaign retaliated with its own behind-the-scenes political maneuver. Republican campaign staffer Kevin Kahn sends Sam Seaborn a video anonymously which contained an attack ad with no source or sponsor against Bartlet. Sam decides to sit down with Kahn, against the express wishes of Josh Lyman, Toby Ziegler, and Bruno Gianelli, and during the meeting hands the video over to Kahn (trying to show Bartlet wasn’t attacking Ritchie, but also saying the Bartlet campaign had an ad like it “in a drawer” if the Ritchie campaign struck first). Unfortunately, Kahn had played Sam the entire time, leaking the video to the press and telling them it was given to the Ritchie campaign by Sam. As such, the news reported on the story of the leaked video, the video got played constantly in primetime on news networks, and the Ritchie campaign remained clean as they had not actually done anything but mail a videotape (which was only privately proven).

You guys should try an original idea

First point is that this could potentially become a landmark case which concerns the mainstream media. As I understand it the ad was a work in progress subject to revision before public release. Candidate message have the I’m ______ and I approve this message.” thing. To use the idea that a draft message is a public statement is very dangerous in the age of the internet. As an example, let’s say a newspaper reporter writes a story and puts it on the computor for the editor (or whatever to review). Editors often say “you may know that but you can’t say that because they can’t prove it. What if the draft version is hacked and ends up on the internet before being vetted by an editior. (Oh I forget, democrats aren’t vetted as evidenced by the lack of the mainstream media to find Keith Ellison’s civil violations in the public record.)

This is what is at stake here. Weather a “rough draft” not released to the public is considered “confidential” if hacked. My position is that a “work in progress” is not. The key factor is productivity. Electronic communications can greatly enhance the development of ideas but there can be a chilling affect if “hacker” can access these works in progress and potentially use them or distribute them over the internet. To the best of my knowlege this has not come up before the US Supreme Court. I would be happy to file a Friend of the Court Brief on the case though I must disclaim I am not a lawyer. I have a rather unique but not complete body of knowlege here. The position on this is easy. Does the party “approve this message?”.

With 25 years of computor work under my belt “hacking” or utilising hacked material is clearly unethical. Hacking cfomputor systems is illegal
(Ask Kevin Mitnick). It should be easy to find a violation of law. I assume that thaat the alledged violation occured in Hennepin County so it would be Hennepin County’s prosecution. That is Amy Klobuchars (sp) office so there would be a conflict of interest. It needs to be transfered to a different office. This alone would create publicity. The Supreme Court stuff is three to five years away so it won’t affect this election.

Even we “internet types” get a lot of stuff that we can’t use. As an example, when Kathleen Ann Soliah/Sara Jane Olson did a network TV interview that (I believe) led to her downfall I got lots of emails about “inapropriate activity” between the host of the piece and one of Soliah/Olson’s lawyers. I shared my information (confidentially) with the prosecutors (this I could not done if a hacked message risked being published.) The host was fired and didn’t resist it. I assume the host was confronted with “the goods”.

Soliah/Olson’s statements in the interview, In my humble opinion, lead to her and the rest of the Symbionese Liberation Army eventually pleading guilty. I decided not to post hte info, and things worked out. That said hackign is illegal and unethical. Ask Kevin Mitnick http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Mitnick

Obviously, Kunin was digging around for something to tie “Dan Allen” to Mark Kennedy. Don’t you think?

DeLay aide quits amid maelstrom
By Patrick O’Connor

The communications director for House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-Texas) abruptly announced his resignation yesterday after months of defending his boss amid intense media scrutiny of the outspoken lawmaker. Dan Allen’s resignation immediately sparked speculation that he was shut out by DeLay’s closest advisers. Allen sent an e-mail to Capitol Hill reporters yesterday confirming a brief news report that he would be leaving DeLay’s office at the end of the month to take a job with Scott Howell and Co., a Republican media firm. His departure comes at a lull for the DeLay office, which endured a four-month barrage of negative news reports regarding the majority leader’s perceived ties to embattled Republican lobbyist Jack Abramoff. During a few tense weeks in the middle of the stretch, DeLay’s closest advisers held daily meetings to discuss message strategy and to coordinate outreach among members.

CAMOAIGN

And it took you “right” along with it.

But I guess campaign ads are the issue in this campaign.

Its always our fault and it can be said w/o any stain on the DFL conciense that “might makes right” and the “ends justify the means”.

Look closely for more spinning on the left to occur as details come forth.

Get this through your heads, righties, the only reason this is an issue is because the Klobuchar campaign did the right thing and reported this. And it’s good to see you rewarding them for doing the right thing with rumor and innuendo.

Noah Kunin may be in some trouble, and I think it may be deserved. McGuinness was rightly fired. Amy Klobuchar, however, has not been shown to have done anything wrong–and all the bogus questions in the world won’t change that.

I bet that they are not going to put her in front of the cameras, because she is not able to handle the questions.
