The top legal counsel to Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr. has accused a prominent Democratic state senator who will soon participate in a legislative probe of the Ehrlich administration's firing practices of "apparently withholding information" for partisan political purposes that could provide ammunition to the governor's supporters.
Jervis S. Finney, Ehrlich's counsel, wrote to state Sen. Brian E. Frosh of Montgomery County last week, charging Frosh with engaging in "a concerted, yet totally unsubstantiated, attack on the personnel policy and integrity of the Ehrlich administration" and failing to disclose the identity of a participant on an online message board.
Frosh, who has been one of the harshest critics of the Ehrlich administration since the activities of former Ehrlich aide Joseph F. Steffen Jr. have come to light, denied the charges in an interview yesterday.

"Because it does not serve your political interest, you are apparently withholding information that would shed light on this entire matter, the false username MD4BUSH and the truth generally," Finney wrote to Frosh. "In fact based on information apparently provided by an elected official from Baltimore, you well know the identity of the 'Watergate style' dirty trickster who operated under the evasive pseudonym MD4BUSH."
Frosh denied yesterday that he knows who MD4BUSH is, and says the identity of the message-board poster doesn't matter much. He said the Ehrlich administration is "trying to change the topic, and it wants the investigation to go away."
Speaking about Finney's letter on WBAL radio yesterday, Ehrlich said that he thinks Democrats know the identity of MD4BUSH. "We have a strong suspicion that is indeed the case," he said.

MD4Bush was back on FR under another maryland username this week...trolling for gullible FReepers to go crash private Democratic house parties this time.
"MD4Bush was back on FR under another maryland username this week...trolling for gullible FReepers to go crash private Democratic house parties this time."
How do you know it was MD4Bush?
Same writing style; same limited vocabulary; same baiting "angle" as used successfully against NCPAC...and both used "maryland" in their monikers.
Interesting; thanks.
"...Ehrlich said that he thinks Democrats know the identity of MD4BUSH. "We have a strong suspicion that is indeed the case," he said."
Send FR a subpoena and he can prove it, and if he does not, he deserves to lose the election.
Bump!
Yes.
then i guess time will tell...
