The Unforgiven (Dems Out For Revenge)

Washington Times ^

[Republican Red]

Manuel Miranda, the Republican Senate Judiciary Committee staffer who was forced to resign last year over spying on Democratic staff members on the committee, said yesterday that Democratic staffers are still hounding him.

According to a complaint filed with the U.S. Attorney's Office's Fraud and Public Corruption Section, Mr. Miranda accuses Democratic staffers whose internal memos he purloined from the computer of stalking him in his job hunt and scuttling a recent job offer he got from a major Washington law firm.

"It appears that Democrat staff and aides on the Senate Judiciary Committee were not satisfied with my client's resignation, loss of job, their previous use of public office to effect a pillory, or with the family suffering that results from such abuse of power," ...... According to the affidavit, Mr. Miranda was offered a job at McDermott Will & Emery, but when he showed up to work, the job offer was rescinded and the man who hired him -- chief lobbyist Stan Anderson -- wasn't there.

"Two days later, Mr. Anderson called and left a recorded voice mail saying that since we spoke two weeks earlier Democrat staff on the Senate Judiciary Committee had launched a campaign against me and had called several of his partners to demand that I not be hired," Mr. Miranda wrote.

Later, according to the affidavit, Mr. Anderson told Mr. Miranda that the Democratic staffers threatened to stop several major pieces of legislation important to Mr. Anderson -- including the recently passed class-action tort-reform bill -- if he hired Mr. Miranda.

Mr. Anderson later told Mr. Miranda he was not pressured by the Democratic threats but, rather, the firm was concerned about getting bad press.

I'd like to see this story get out. I won't hold my breath though.

Mr. Miranda he was not pressured by the Democratic threats but, rather, the firm was concerned about getting bad press.

McDermott Will & Emery need a good freeping

From the accounts I heard, he was not "spying". The Democrats sent the memos to the wrong computer. He turned his computer on and there they were. He should have been commended for showing the Democrats up for the liars and frauds they are.

But the Republican hierarchy are content to be owned by and used as whipping boys by the Democrats. This is why the Democrats still call the shots in the Senate. This is why there will not be any conservative judges confirmed. Arlen Spectre was appointed to the Chairman position for one reason and one reason only. To protect the progress made during the clinton administration toward the Socialization of America and then making the United States a U.N. Protectorate.

What the Republican hierarchy refuses to acknowledge is that the Democrats hate them,and once they get everything where they want it, will take care of their opponents Communist style.

The appeasers who fed others to the crocodiles will then have their turn.

He doesn't know jack about bad press, but I'll bet he's about to learn.

Oh, wow. This guy has a lawsuit.

The laws so protect a job seekers that most companies now have policies that prohibit giving references, even if the reference is a positive one.

The memos weren't on the "wrong computer", they were on the "shared drive" on the server, which means that anyone with a log-in and password to the local network had access to them. The dems might as well have put the info in a newspaper.

For those who have worked with Congressmen, you find out quickly that you really end up working with staffers. And the staffers get really bloody with each other from across the aisle.
