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.

Oops.
I read the excerpt and shrugged. "Damn," I thought to myself, "I thought Kristinn was a man."
Then my mind recalls actually SEEING pics of Kristinn and damn, they were pics of a MAN. I shrug again. "Maybe I was looking at the wrong person," I think. "Maybe there was a woman in the picture."
Will I ever learn not to trust these "journalists" with the facts?
Sometimes, too smooth for my own good.
Do you know what it's like to be known by friends and family as a die-hard conservative and to have your post reported on national news as coming from a liberal?!

In order to activate a password a valid email is necessary, but the IP of the computer would remain the same. What MD4Bush did to conceal himself would only work in a case where the administrator of a site was not sufficiently interested in tracking him down.
The FR feature that allows changeing e-mail registration address at any time is for the convenience of the users and won't help conceal the identity of the computer the posts were made from.
What she say?
Giving orders to folks who don't work for you seems to make one a wimmin.
I kind of figured.
Excellent post.
To all, be sure to view the video story (maybe a couple of times to catch the complex links to the all the players).
For his good work in getting Steffen fired, Ryan O'Doherty has been rewarded with a no-compete appointment to a newly created position with the Baltimore Metropolitan Council, which is associated with Baltimore city hall.
If so, how?
When was the 3rd email changed ... after the article???
No offense, Kristinn, but you're the ugliest woman I've ever seen! ;-D
That was my point.
The other information would be what IP addresses were associated with those logins....possibly from the Dems' cave? That would show it wasn't just someone using RyDo's e-mail address, but ...

Exactly.
bump
That's what I kept waiting to hear in the video...but they didn't explicitly say.

I am fortunate to have met Kristinn in 2000 and he's no woman, but a good guy!
Again, the video is very good...and in the video, it says "spokesperson."
But more than that, I encourage all FReepers to check out the video for the "plot thickens" elements. :-)
