I believe that the confusion with another woman of the same name who had a long criminal history began with some LA radio hosts who made the announcement, but also made it clear that they hadn't been able to verify that it was in fact the same woman. When it was learned that the two people were not the same, the radio hosts issued an immediate on-air clarification. Arnold's team was not involved.

Arnold's team isn't entirely uninvolved, but the suit still is garbage. Here's the deal as I remember it.

Arnold staffer puts out email to media advising something like, "If you go to such and such database and enter 'Rhonda Miller,' you will find out interesting things from public records."

At no time did the Arnold staffer say that any and all information thus learned was THE SAME Rhonda Miller. The likely fact of the matter is -- and not that it matters -- is that the Arnold staffer DIDN'T KNOW WHETHER OR NOT it was the same Rhonda Miller. (If he HAD known it was the same person, he'd probably have said so!)

So you're saying that maybe the message sent by Sean Walsh to the media was forged? Or perhaps it was a different man named Sean Walsh, not the one who was Arnold's campaign spokesman, who sent the message?

You're exactly right.
