CNN: PAGE LAWYER DOES NOT RULE 'IN OR OUT' PRANK CLAIM... DEVELOPING... Former congressional page Jordan Edmund's lawyer Stephen Jones... BLITZER: He will join us live in the next hour. What are you hearing, Brian, about some of these Internet suggestions, some Republicans suggesting this whole thing is a prank, a hoax and there is no there, there.

CNN REPORTER: "We asked him about that item in the DRUDGE REPORT. He said very clearly he cannot rule that in, he cannot rule that out. He says he is not saying it was not a prank but later in the interview, CNN pressed him on that. He said that he -- he does not read the DRUDGE REPORT, not part of his regular reading and, quote, it sounds like a piece of fiction...

BLITZER: He says the DRUDE REPORT item sounds like a piece of fiction?

CNN REPORTER: He did say that, but important to note he says he is not ruling it in or out.

I suspect the DUmmies are being served a thick juicy roast of Freudenschade, and don't even know it yet!

[reagandemocrat]

Depends on your definition of "is"

[mmyers]

funny, this morning the attorney said it was not a prank....I think he is leaking water!!

[Commander Salamander]

I Wonder if Blitzer really said "Drude Report"

[Cementjungle]

Well that really clears things up.

[Suzy Quzy]

IT WAS NOT A PRANK!!!!! You don't hire Stephen Jones because you did a PRANK.

There's a new thread about a woman, Robin Kastaros (sp) who is supposedly writing a BOOK about Pages.....and her GAY son was a Page to Pelosi and her Husband, John is an INTERNET SECURITY EXPERT...HACK...HACK!!!

McVeigh was executed. This guy was his lawyer. I rest my case!

[r9etb]

IOW, it's a prank, and he's doing the Miranda dance. No way he's gonna incriminate his client, except with an immunity deal in hand.

You do hire a profile attorney if you Prank a congressman...why else would you hire a attorney?

[Suzy Quzy]

Yes, Stephen Jones said it was NOT a PRANK....it is NOT a PRANK....it's a COUP ATTEMPT!!

Please ALL go read the thread about the Book being written.

[muawiyah]

Ab~sooooo~lute~leeeee

The lawyer has been hired to make sure his client gets all his rights. Last thing he's going to do is admit the guy is guilty of a half dozen crimes.

bttt

[REDWOOD99]

If you were blackmailing a congressman you would hire a defense atty.

[Suzy Quzy]

He;s a CRIMINAL DEFENSE lawyer that doesn't come cheap. You can't think that everyone can go to a Stephen Jones do you??? YIKES....like a Stephen Jones would take on a PRANK case....yeah, riiiiight....congressman or not.

LOL... Wellstoneschade... Memoschade

[Raebie]

Actually, Chris Matthews has the honorary mouthpiece title today. It's amazing my tv doesn't have a hole in the middle of it right now.

[xcamel]

Especially if the "to do" list was really the "to do me" list.

[newzjunkey]

IOW, it's a prank, and he's doing the Miranda dance.

Likely. Why else does the "victim" page need a famous DEFENSE lawyer? Does not compute otherwise. The lawyer said he couldn't say *why* he was hired but said, 'you've read the IMs, you known why he needs a lawyer.'

For those playing along at home: IOW = In Other Words.
