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 Miranda was offered a job at McDermott Will & Emery, but when he showed up to work, the job offer was rescinded and the man who hired him -- chief lobbyist Stan Anderson -- wasn't there.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.

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.
WHO HIRED CRAIG LIVINGSTONE??????!!!!!!!
