To confirm the timeline... the FReepmail exchanges between Steffen and O'Doherty were in Oct 2004. Looking at this link we see part of a PR release that reads:

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Sunday, January 9, 2005 7:00AM
CONTACT: Ryan O’Doherty 410-269-8818 (Desk); 443-794-7931 (Cell)

DEMOCRATIC CHAIR CALLS ON GOVERNOR EHRLICH TO PULL ILLEGAL ADS 

That is, O'Doherty was still employed by the MD Democrats in January 2005, which means he was employed by them in October 2004 as well. The only remaining question is whether or not he was acting in his official capacity. I'm sure Steffen's lawyers will find that out during discovery.

It sounds like MD4BUSH has not been outed just yet, but this Dem spokesperson sent out emails and talking points on this "scandal" of Steffan spreading rumors before the story was even published in the WaPost.

WBAL reporting that Ryan O'Doherty used the email address smitty1945@yahoo.com to contact the WaPo after his late night posting here at FR. Also you were mentioned as indicating that he worked with the Post in spreading the story.

Further, they are saying that he sent talking points to MD Democrats to call talk radio and use for local media. The breaking of this story is based on Ehrlich's attorney Jervis Finney revealing what he discovered in his investigation. I imagine the State legislature is going to have a hard time ignoring this.

Looks like the election season is upon us.

WAIT WAIT WAIT!!! The guys on WBAL just said they still don't know the identity of MD4BUSH.

I think we're entitled to know which it is. Either they know or they don't know, and if they know we should be told how they reached that conclusion.

It's more than fairly important.

Agreed. Also, we need to refrain from posting ANY personal information on O'Doughrty or whatever his name is until we know for sure.

Chip Franklin's Commentary

MD4BUSH...Who Are You?
Tuesday, February 15, 2005
Chip Franklin

Time to Turn The Question

The question was; what did Ehrlich know about Steffen, now the question is; when did O’Malley and the Democrats know?

You know the story. The Washington Post broke it last week. An Ehrlich aide had been spreading rumors about O’Malley’s alleged infidelity. O’Malley and his wife held a press conference at city hall and talked about how these rumors had affected their family. It was moving. How could the Governor do such a thing? Ehrlich refused to apologize, despite demands from many, including myself. But that’s just part of the story.

Joe Steffen, the aide, is a longtime associate of Governor Ehrlich. He was fired when this story broke. Last fall, he was posting at Freerepublic.com, a conservative web site, speculating on rumors that O’Malley was having and had had affairs. Sometime between last summer and last Tuesday, someone brought this to the attention of the Washington Post. (pt 1). Also while Steffen was posting, someone appeared on the site, MD4BUSH, who pushed and prodded to Steffen to tell more. Steffen and MD4Bush spoke in a private room (pt2) and exchanged thoughts about O’Malley and again MD4Bush pushed and prodded Steffen. Who was MD4Bush?

Jump ahead to November when O’Malley referred to rumors about himself. (pt3). The media didn’t bite, since apparently no one except the Post knew about Steffen’s postings. But Rob Douglas and I received a tip that the Post was going to print with a damaging story about Ehrlich. It came from a Democratic insider. (pt4). And in the hours before the story broke, more tips that it was coming. It was going to really damage Ehrlich, said the source.

And then the story broke. Followed up ridiculous accusations that Ehrlich lied about ever hearing rumors, no one is asking the important question.

1-Who gave the story to the Post? It could only be Steffen, The free Republic, very unlikely, or MD4Bush.
2-Who is MD4Bush? If the Democrats knew about this as far back as August, when did O’Malley know? How could the mayor have not been informed of Steffen’s actions back last fall? Why doesn’t someone ask him?
3-and what if MD4BUSh is a Democrat with ties to O’Malley? What does that say about the timing of his heart-pulling press conference? Where is the press on this?

With a name like "Illuminati", we shouldn't wonder that you favor anonymity.
