The WBAL-TV 11 News I-Team has uncovered new information surrounding the mysterious Web user known as MD4Bush.
In private e-mail exchanges, MD4Bush coaxed Joe Steffen, a former aide to Gov. Bob Ehrlich, into discussing rumors about Baltimore Mayor Martin O'Malley's personal life on the conservative Web site, FreeRepublic.com.
The 11 News I-Team has uncovered e-mail addresses used to register the MD4Bush account on the Free Republic Web site. The 11 News I-Team does not know who opened the MD4Bush account.
According to a source familiar with the MD4Bush postings, the e-mail address used in October 2004 to open the MD4Bush account is: ryanrock2004@yahoo.com.
Sources said that e-mail address was later changed to rodoherty@mddems.org, then changed for a third time to brianwaverly@yahoo.com. That third e-mail address remains as the address registered on the Free Republic account, which remains open.
Free Republic Web founder Jim Robinson refused to publicly disclose the electronic trail of MD4Bush; however, he authorized a statement weeks ago, as follows:
"Free Republic has evidence that an mddems.org e-mail address is associated with the MD4Bush account. This is not just coincidence," Free Republic spokeswoman Kristinn Taylor said.
According to Free Republic, anyone who has the password to the MD4Bush account could change the e-mail registration address at any time. It is not known how many people may have had access to that password.
MD4Bush used e-mails to coax former gubernatorial aide Joe Steffen into discussing rumors on a conservative Web site about the personal life of Baltimore's mayor. The e-mail address information obtained does not shed light on the actual users of the MD4Bush account, nor does it reveal whether someone attached the Ryan O'Doherty e-mail address to the account without his knowledge.

Can't wait to see what happens next.
How do you suppose he knew who NCPAC was?
I don't know, but it's pretty clear he did. I suspect a mole in his close circle of associates.
Thank you very much. Merry Christmas.
Jim did you go live on the air?
Who will play Rosemary Woods in the movie?
I wonder if it's Michelle Lane, reportedly NCPAC's ex-girlfriend, who seems to be a Democrat operative. She ws pretty bitter about her firing.
Have no idea about that.
In post 70, you wrote
"Number three, he shared his password with one or more third parties."
You don't actually know that. You only know that a Washington Post reporter said that is what happened.
As we all know, the word of a Washington Post reporter is worth about as much as the toilet paper I use to clean myself.
Ethics among "journalists" is like chastity among whores.
It will be a great leagl trial too, if it comes to that.
It's a Major Award!
Tracts of Land?
