I'm a little surprised by this relvelation. I would have guessed that it came from the Washington Post, particularly since they have admitted to using that login id.
It means that the WaPo has to admit being in league with the MD Dem Party, or at the very least, failing to use proper journalistic procedures and ethics.
I wonder...if I anonymously went to them claiming that Swillary Clinton sent me child pron, and offered to send them my account information and password "through an intermediary," would they unquestioningly print it without having to reveal who I am or prove anything about the account?
