WBAL news team has announced at 5pm on The Ron Smith Show that MD4Bush has been identified as Ryan O'Doherty, a former Maryland Democrat Party operative/official.
Further details will emerge in moments.
It is like a reporter coming to Rove or Libby and saying they know that Valerie Plame is CIA. Even if the press may think they know something, a person can be liable for confirming a story -- depending on what information they have.
It is wise for Jim Robinson not to respond...
Steffen could subpoena such information, but not necessarily a news media.
In the computer age, someone could use someone else's computer and email address -- so knowing IP addresses and what workstation/computer inside a network that an email or post originated does not prove anything.
It is wise for Jim Robinson to stay silent on this until any possible legal issues remain.
A good example is the Valerie Plame and the possible involvement of Rove and Libby. Just because some fruitcake newspaper reporter has some story, it is not okay to confirm or deny information about a CIA agent.
Libby and Rove are under intense pressure because of their alleged involvement with a media source.
If there is any possible jeopardy to Free Republic, then Jim Robinson is wise to stay silent.
Profile stinks of DU. That's not hind sight, that's from experience. Freepers vent but this sounds trite, especially for a profile page which is usually more of a vision/mission statement.
You know when I knew what he was? When he said he read the Atlantic and said parenthetically it was a lib rag his wife read. ANd when he allegedly admired Rove for "dirty tricks". Libs postiing here as trolls often refer to "lib rags" their wives read. Soon as I saw that, I knew he was a troll.
I second that...
Bueller? Bueller?
Looks like noone had an answer for that question.
I'm going to see if Tony discusses it today
So the sneak and dirty trickster is a Democrat. Wow, that's like water being wet.
Thanks for the ping.
Worth repeating.
This is one conspiracy you might be interested in.
How does opening Freepmail put a person at risk? Please explain...
It would make one knowledgeable of the emailed information.
Thus putting one at risk of the question, " What did you know and When did you know it?"

Clip of headline for those without access...
"More Maryland NewsDemocrats, Post are named in Steffen Web scandal
Senate minority leader says former Maryland Democratic Party operative may be elusive 'MD4BUSH'"
No kidding. Between this and the credit report thing. Wow.
O'Doherty works for O'Malley. O'Doherty's brother had worked for the County Exec Jim Smith. O'Doherty's daughter opens a new restaurant at a site where O'Malley "encouraged" redevelopment. It alos looks like a possible money connection between the O'Doherty brothers and Damien's position as President.
The MD GOP should be all over this one. If the WAPO is implicated as a willing contributor and co-conspirator, the question then becomes who was Ryan's connection at WAPO? Who wrote the story?
That's typical Balmer Sun spin.
Rehash all of their past clippings against Steffan [NCPAC] and smears against the Ehrlich administration and quote Maryland Democrat dolts who are allowed to deflect the story off topic while not being asked any investigative questions by the reporters.
We had him pegged.
