How in the world did they find out he was NCPAC?
That would be nice to know, huh?
Probably by luring him to another web site.
"How in the world did they find out he was NCPAC?"
No one can figure that out.
What can I say other than the Governor had no knowledge whatsoever of any postings on FR. For the record, I offered to resign before being asked to do so. And, no, I have not spoken directly with the Governor about any of this.
The Baltimore Sun will be running a piece on this as well on Wednesday. They called Tuesday night and were ready to pin the whole thing on the Governor, and I couldn't let that happen because it simply isn't true. The Governor had no knowledge of anything involving O'Malley or the "rumors."
Also, the Baltimore Sun has a list of FReepers they read off to me to see if I was "also" posting under those screen names. I don't remember all of them, but CrushKerry was one.
It's been one wild ride, FRiends.
It's probably not that hard to figure out. There's IP traces, email addies posted, and those who probably know the posters and are able to figure out who they are from the style of writing or information there. Letters to the editor that match a post are key.
There are dozens of pols who lurk here, and I'm not surprised if some of them post. I know reporters are here, and I'd be shocked if dem and GOP stratigests aren't here from time to time.
Very easily, he probably posted them from work...which were traced, very easily to his computer
There are a couple of ways that I can think of, but webbugs would be high on my list of suspects. Maybe someone should go back to all the threads that NCPAC (et al.) posted on and search them for any evidence of those nasty little critters.
