I agree. That posting of those freepmails on the forum right before the article came out is what mystifies me the most. Why do it when they already had copies given to them months earlier? Posting them actually makes it look more like collusion and CYA, not less.
Someone also needs to find out who this 'intermediary' to MD4Bush is the WashPost talks about, that gave them the copies of the emails and the log-in information. Bet there is no intermediary, and if there is find out his association with MD4Bush.
Also, the Matthew Mosk said he logged on 3 times to confirm the emails were real. Why 3 times, shouldn't once have been enough? Mosk knew FR could track IP addresses, so he couldn't lie about logging in 3 times. That suggests to me that his logins to 'verify' the emails is a smokescreen.
It all hinges on the IP addresses to know how many players there are and who did what and when.
I also wonder why Steffen was told about the article when the article was going to out him? Seems Mosk played Steffen possibly? I am curious as to the details of those conversations.
The freepmail dump was on three different threads and was probably done in case one post got pulled.
Just got of the phone with WBAL-TV reporter covering the Steffen affair from the beginning. He said they will be having a story on today's events tonight at 6pm. When I asked him about Steffen's comments today "regarding Mikulski" he stated that top management ordered him not to mention the outing of her sexuality. He said he was told "by people at a higher pay scale" not to further spread the rumor but that in light of comments about Steele (oreo cookie) comments this may now be justified to bring up because a dem operative outed another dem.

Please excuse the clumsy link, I have a very sick computer. This links to a series of blogs and comments that were made after O'Malley's "Bush's Budget is just like 9/11" speech.
The WaPo story about Steffen certainly wiped O'Malley's stupid words away. I do not believe in coincidences.
