Gee, I don't remember this much fuss being kicked up back in 2000 when that Rat mole swiped the tape with the entire Bush campaign strategy and mailed it to the DNC. Does anybody?

[syriacus]

Poor Orrin.

[Doc On The Bay]

GOSH!!

This Means that a "Sadly Misguided Member of the Staff" SOMEHOW released sensitive Information to "The Public."

WHAT a Tragedy!!

The democRATs have successfully turned all attention from the treasonous contents of their memos to how they were leaked.

[Diva Betsy Ross]

Can the Republicans handle the fight we are about to see for the election, or not. How could Hatch allow this story to be about the hacking talents of some staffer?

Get it together fellows.. The clock is ticking...342 days left.

They know the media is going to be out for blood and looking for anything negative to print about the Republicans. It they are going to "obtain" documents, why not have a plan lined up for the after effects. Even if they really did not know that the documents were obtained illegally, they need to keep the focus on the Memo itself. that is exactly what the democrats would do. That is where they have the upper hand over us. They know how to spin a story to thier agenda.

There is a double standard for everyhting Republicans do, especially right now. No more Mr. nice guy.

[pfflier]

Geez,,,the demoncreat are planning on selling the country out, we got the memo and now we're going to fire the guy that got it.

Remember the ongoing bitching about the army Col who saved his troops and is now facing courts martial???

What a bunch of whimps.

[FairOpinion]

The guy should be considered a hero and whisleblower, and protected under the whisleblower laws.

E-mail Hatch.

I thought Dems like whisleblowers, or is that only when it helps them?

The staffer exposed treasonous activity going on in our own government, by the Democrats, who are undermining the US, thereby helping our enemies and the terrorists. The guy should get a medal.

[doug from upland]

Traitors don't like it when you discover their traitorous plans. Let them pursue it. It will keep their treason front and center.

[Cicero]

Once again Orrin Hatch is outmaneuvered. Can you imagine the Democrats EVER investigating their own people like this? Who cares who the whistle blower was, when the memo was treasonous?

[river rat]

Hell, this is the only thing I can think of that Hatch or his staff have done right for the past several years...

If the fire the staff person..they must also fire the Senator who authorized the treacherous use of the Committee..

[Jorge]

Wow this is great.
Not only do we expose the despicable secret Democrat memos, but we show how morally superior we are by confessing we accessed them using less than ethically pure methods.
This is great PR.

[TC Rider]

These are the same rats who whined about wanting to see every piece of paper that Miguel Estrada ever scratched on.

[Becki]

Judiciary Committee Chairman Orrin Hatch said he placed the staffer on administrative leave with pay pending a separate probe by the Senate sergeant at arms, Bill Pickle.

God Bless the staffer. That alarm needed raising.

[Endeavor]

"``conscience-stricken'' Democratic staffer"

That's an oxymoron, right?

[Antoninus]

How many rats complained about the Pentagon Papers? These people are traitors.

[Chu Gary]

The person in question needs to receive a massive bonus payment, a lavish free dinner at DC's best restaurant and other "punishment."

[hosepipe]

[ `It is with deep regret I must report today the interviews conducted to date have revealed that at least one current member of Judiciary Committee majority staff had improperly accessed at least some of the documents referenced in the media reports,'' Hatch said. ]

Hmmm, Hatch running damage control for the democrats.... as he usually does... just whats ON those 900+ FBI tapes Hillery and Bill have saved in their computers... A few other publicans act strangely too ... Hatch is not Bi-partisan hes poly-partisan... as is McLame, Spectre and others...
