Wife of White House Aide Found Dead in Burning Car
Politics Daily ^ | January 10, 2011 | Christopher Weber

Ashley Turton, wife of the Obama administration's House of Representatives liaison, Dan Turton, was found dead in a burning car Monday morning, Roll Call and other news outlets are reporting.

Fire officials said it appeared the car crashed as it was pulling in or out of the garage behind a rowhouse in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Washington, D.C., at about 5 a.m. Neighbors dialed 911 after spotting the fire.

The body was discovered after fire crews doused the blaze. The fire also charred part of the garage. Nobody in the house was injured, fire officials said.

Ashley Turton worked as a lobbyist for the utility giant Progress Energy, according to Politico. She was a former staffer for U.S. Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-Conn.

Metropolitan Police Lt. Nicholas Breul told Roll Call a joint investigation is underway. Homicide detectives were called to the scene.

"This could be just a tragic freak accident," Breul said, adding there was no indication that there was a crime committed.

The White House had no immediate comment on the incident.

“From that picture, the car wasn’t damaged like an explosion and it looks as if any person who was physically able and with her full senses could have gotten out.”

Not to mention the 2008 BMW X5 is one of the safest cars on the road today in terms of protecting the passenger.

Exactly. Next BMW will start having a rash of Toyota-style "accidents", they'll get sued, Hussein will say "see, it was BMW's fault, not mine", BMW will pay Soros and his minions off, and the msm will file her death under case closed and whine about it being a SUV.

My first thought was what a good time to commit murder. All the attention is on the Arizona shootings.

If she had crashed into the garage or garage doors with any force at all it would have woken the neighbors. Those houses are close together. From the picture it looks like the fire burned for a while.

This really feels strange to me.

The story was wiped from Drudge today.

The Wall Street Journal today is devoid of news on Turton.

This AFTER the fire inspector said the vehicle had come into contact with “explosive or flammable” materials.

Arson and homicide detectives were called to the scene by the fire department.

Now silence.

Well, that’ll give them time to get their story straight.

Holy heck Batman!

Why in the world would you call the ATF??? Perhaps a few bullets that need to be examined?

WTF???????

I was checking the logs and found a search that was done with the following:

ashley turton federal reserve

Being the curious man I am, I decided to look a bit and found the following at the economicpolicyjournal:
The rumors are swirling big time in D.C. Here’s what one anonymous commenter wrote at my earlier post:
Now this gets interesting, because Rosa DeLauro owned the house in which Rahm Emanuel lived rent-free during House sessions for five years. Word from DC is that the place was wired for audio and video. Ashley Turton, as DeLauro’s chief of staff, probably wrote the checks to pay bills on that condo and would be privy to “extra” expenses.

It appears we are being watched by someone at a crisis management company that works with the energy companies and someone in the white house.

The PR firm Burson-Marsteller’s, that is monitoring is being run by Mark Penn, this firm lead the way in promoting the food bill ,found this on the net :

the real show is going on down the street, where Monsanto is taking massive control over all farms through the falsely named “food safety” bills, introduced by Rosa DeLauro whose husband, Stanley Greenburg got rich from working for Clinton and Monsanto.  And the agriculture committee is loaded with people who have gotten large donations from ... who else? ... Monsanto.

So, Stanley Greenberg, who lets Rahm Emanuel live in his house in DC rent free, in exchange for the contract to do the PR for the Democrat congressional agenda, is also connected to Monsanto, as well as BP? One of Greenberg’s pr firms designed the “Beyond Petroleum” campaign for BP.

Oh, and the partners in that other PR firm, the one with the Congressional contract, are James Carville and Shrum.

It is positively incestuous.
