Sean Hannity has a scoop on dem party corruption (Vanity)

Sean Hannity radio show ^ | 11/04/03 | Unknown Democrat (via Sean Hannity)

Is anyone listening to Hannity? He just read a memo from a dem party staffer (i think) on the select committe on intelligence (or some such), which, as he describes it, shows the the dem committe members are pre-planning a political assault on the pres. and care nothing for our security, which is their job.

He's acting like this is the hottest scoop since I don't know what, I'm at work so I'm only 1/2 listening, plus he read the whole thing which seemed to be a least 2 pages long, a little tough to follow being in beaurocrat-speak.

Is this really important? And will this story grow legs?

[hankbrown]

the information them have

Let's just fire back with the information we's have

[kevao]

See # 12 ... This is BIG

Might be even BIGGER (dare I say, HUGH?) once we know what the alleged memo actually says.

[StAthanasiustheGreat]

I NEED MORE INTEL. INTREP. What exactly is going on?

[Mo1]

Plus he has put calls out to Roberts, Hatch, Lott and a few others for a response

He says he will give it to any one in the media that wants to report on it .. he is thinking about asking Drudge and see if he wants to Post it on his site

[mewzilla]

It's huge if they were planning on attacking him with classified information. If they just planned on attacking him based on unclassified information, well, there's nothing wrong with that.

Wow, you ain't kidding. Why the Senate Intell Committee? Holy cats.

[JFC]

Who all is on this committee? I bet we could figure out who it is. Talk about national security !!! This is a disgrace, and they need to be removed from office. Where are the Nancy P's now?

[concerned about politics]

I had Hannity on the radio, and it just got cut off the air. Creepy!

keep us posted about the show? It's still just air right now. His show just stopped!

[b4its2late]

This is not only the sad state of the demorats, it might be criminal.

[Mo1]

The Dems seem to want an Indpendant Council and will do anything to get one .. and will put out leaks/or words to get the media attention

[kevao]

Where are the Nancy P's now?

I think she's fundraising today.

[dwilli]

I know Hannity would not get overexcited, He's not one to self-promote is He?

[Palladin]

He should give it to Drudge, who gets a million hits a day.

[hankbrown]

He says he will give it to any one in the media that wants to report on it

Well, if it is so hot, why doesn't he put it up on his own website.

"We have carefully reviewed our options under the rules and believe we have identified the best approach. Our plan is as follows:

"1) Pull the majority along as far as we can on issues that may lead to major new disclosures regarding improper or questionable conduct by administration officials. We are having some success in that regard.

"For example, in addition to the President's State of the Union speech, the chairman [Sen. Pat Roberts] has agreed to look at the activities of the office of the Secretary of Defense, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, as well as Secretary Bolton's office at the State Department.

"The fact that the chairman supports our investigations into these offices and cosigns our requests for information is helpful and potentially crucial. We don't know what we will find but our prospects for getting the access we seek is far greater when we have the backing of the majority. [We can verbally mention some of the intriguing leads we are pursuing.]

"2) Assiduously prepare Democratic "additional views" to attach to any interim or final reports the committee may release. Committee rules provide this opportunity and we intend to take full advantage of it.

"In that regard we may have already compiled all the public statements on Iraq made by senior administration officials. We will identify the most exaggerated claims. We will contrast them with the intelligence estimates that have since been declassified. Our additional views will also, among other things, castigate the majority for seeking to limit the scope of the inquiry.

"The Democrats will then be in a strong position to reopen the question of establishing an Independent Commission [i.e., the Corzine Amendment.]"
