C-Span ^ | 10-03-06 | self

[TheSarce]

Replay of this morning's Washington Journal on C-Span 1 right now. Just started a few minutes ago, she said CREW was given the emails by "a congressional staffer."

[TheSarce]

Just stumbled across this, didn't know they'd interviewed her. Gonna go look for a weblink to the video, be right back....

[shankbear]

CREW is a Soros group.........IGNORE!!!!!!

[MNJohnnie]

Melaine Stone is a former Chuck Schumer staffer. You know Senator Slimy who heads the Democrat Senate Election Comittee this year?

[muawiyah]

No, we need to pay close attention to these people. Quite early on the story was THEY had the salacious IMs and had handed them over to ABC.

After about a full day's discussion of the topic on FR, the CREW people decided that wasn't what they had at all. Instead, they had nothing different than had the House Speaker's office, that is, "overly friendly emails".

This Miss Nancy really doesn't want to get caught up in a sex scandal. She's happy enough to see OTHER PEOPLE in them, but she was a former prosecutor in DC who specialized in sex crimes.

She's the kind of person about whom it can be said "She Knew Better".

And, apparantly she does know better and moved quickly to correct the record.

Now that doesn't mean she wasn't sitting there holding these IMs for the last three years, but she claims she's not the one who passed them on to ABC, and the FBI decided those emails she now claims she handed on to them weren't worth investigating.

So, keep your eye on CREW. See how they squirm. They're not out of this yet ~ odds are good Miss Nancy did have the IMs, but made a valiant attempt to cover her tracks. Might have even picked them up from friends still in her old government office in DC.

Thanks for posting this. I missed this earlier.

She also was Minority Counsel for the U.S. House of Representatives Judiciary Committee from 1995 to 1998 working directly with John Conyers.  Can't find any more partisan people.

[kristinn]

CREW says they had the e-mail in July and immediately gave it to the FBI. But the question is, if they were so concerned about "the chillrun" why did they wait to go public with it until ABC did their story last week?

CREW gives the appearance of wanting someone else to break the story (FBI or ABC) so as to cause maximum political damage to the Republicans rather than protect "the chillrun."

If CREW were concerned about Foley preying on House pages, they'd have put a press release out in July and made a big stink about it back then.

I'm not able to listen to this carefully right now, but at least a couple of the callers aren't buying into the rush for Hastert to resign. "Appalled at how the DEMOCRATS are handling this," expressing hesitation at the attempts to take down leadership, etc.

I hope this blows back on the Soros party big time...

[r9etb]

That's a man, baby...

[WOSG]

Another question:

They got it from a Congressional staffer ...

Which congressman/woman?????

[TheSarce]

CREW is a Soros group.........IGNORE!!!!!!

I KNOW they are Sorosion scum! I think it's a bad idea to ignore public statements by one of the principals in a carefully-orchestrated Donk campaign, don't you?

Do you doubt that this is primarily about political ju-jitsu to take down Republicans? If CREW were realy concerned about the safety of young pages, why didn't they go to the authorities months ago?

Ignoring "Soros groups" is foolhardy.

[Nav_Mom]

Ditto
CREW is SOROS Group IGNORE~!!!

[massgopguy]

Who hacked in to Foley's e-mail? Remember the memo that revealed a Democrat strategy that was made public because it got posted on the wrong server?

[fschmieg]

Alexander used to be a democrat and switched parties. Many of his staffers quit over that. Maybe one of them??

[rface]

I don't think CREW can claim any sort of "journalistic privilge" - so I wonder if the FBI or some sort of investigative force can find out who this "staffer" is.

[Nav_Mom]

Yep.
And if the democrats are so concerned about the "children" why sit on the scandal for 3 years.
Its disgusting

[Dianna]

Alexander used to be a democrat and switched parties. Many of his staffers quit over that. Maybe one of them??

On Brit's show yesterday, Mort said the e-mails came from Alexander staffers (whether current or former, I don't know). Mort didn't seem to be speculating but I don't know where he gets his info.

One ugly woman......... looks like something you'd expect to see at the "gate" if you ended up in hell.
