Kennedy's office didn't particularly appreciate my happy anniversary call on Chappaquiddick day.

ROTFLMAO!!!!

[doug from upland]

Please tell me she really said that. Please.

[NeoCaveman]

Please tell me she really said that. Please.

I swear to God almighty. She did. She really did.

In her defense, she sounded like a dimbulb.

[doug from upland]

You have FReepmail. Call me.

Kennedy's office didn't particularly appreciate my happy anniversary call on Chappaquiddick day.

Bob Byrd's office did not appreciate the time I called offering them new white sheets.

George Soros is indeed an international felon, wanted in a number of countries for illegal currency manipulation and other fraud.

Soros made (literally) billions in the Clinton regime, reportedly with ultimate insider international financial information from the Sandy "Burglar"/ Madeline Albright State Department. It is in his profound economic interest for the rat party to seize the Presidency once again.

If it is proven that they actually did obtain credit reports without the proper authorization and the proper business purpose, this would be a federal offense--violating banking Privacy Act laws (under Fair Lending legislation).

There are HUGE penalties for violations of these laws (at least there are to lenders who have violated them--probably don't apply to the mighty "high house" members of Congress, who implemented the laws!)

I can't believe this. In insurance we have to tippy toe around all of this stuff on credit reports and driving records, including not telling employers why a driver is being excluded. They have to find out for themselves.

We at Sen. Schumer's office regret to inform you that, until further notice, the Senator is no longer accepting illegally obtained credit reports on Republicans. In the future, please direct such reports to the offices of Senators Kennedy, Kerry, Edwards, or Leahy.

[DCPatriot]

We applaud the Senator for not wanting to be involved in any more illegal activity.

I bet you a gift certificate of $150 for Ruth's Chris Steak House that Steele's credit history will be in the MSM sometime during his campaign for Senate in Maryland...especially if there is derogatory information in it.

Important ping to post 40 for possible prosecution....

I agree that Schumer is a slime ball. I met him a few years ago when he was Congressman Schumer. He had a handshake like a wet rubber glove full of cold water and had an aversion to eye contact.

The occasion was some testimony in the Rayburn building. His staff had arranged for a Marilyn lookalike to sing "Happy Birthday". The slime ball definitely overplayed the "seduction" until he noticed others in the room. He did a change very similar to Clinton's funeral clip.

Great work. I have spoken to a person at the GOP senatorial committee. They may be interested in this story. To think that they would accept a rival politician's credit report and give the fax and contact person to whom it should be sent is staggering.

[nuclady]

I just call him Chucky Cheese!!

[Jersey Republican Biker Chick]

So does Curtis Sliwa. LOL

[Heatseeker]

Me too. They had buttons at the Spring MD Republican Convention that said "Man of Steele" that I liked also.

[kevkrom]

I told the woman who answered the phone that I had Katherine Harris's credit report. I asked her if she'd be interested in it. She said yes and gave me her fax number 202-228-3027. When I asked her "to whose attention should I send it". She gave me the name of Sean Clark.

Of course, after DFU's call, the staffers could have been told to "play along" with anyone offering this information so that they could report them to the authorities as offering illegally obtained information. If this type of thing were going on in my office, that's exactly what I would ask of my own staff.

[NeoCaveman]

Anything is possible.

[doug from upland]

What are the chances that a FReep call to one staffer resulted in Schumer's staff getting together for a meeting and creating a plan to play along with callers? About zero or less?

Neither of us had any info. You caught Schmucky, however, willing to accept info by fax in the midst of a criminal investigation of aides. You would have thought Chucky would have learned.

[VRWCmember]

You should have recorded the phone conversation (for quality and training purposes of course).

[NeoCaveman]

Then I'd be open to being attacked like Linda Tripp. You are danmed if you do and damned if you don't.
