Webb Denies He Gave Aide Gun That Led to Arrest

Tuesday , March 27, 2007

WASHINGTON — Virginia Sen. Jim Webb said Tuesday he did not give aide Phillip Thompson the gun that led to his arrest in a Senate office building. Webb did not say whether it was his gun.

Thompson is awaiting arraignment in D.C. Superior Court after being arrested Monday for trying to enter the Russell Senate Office Building, where Webb's office is located, carrying a loaded pistol and two fully loaded magazines.

The judge will determine whether Thompson, 45, will have to pay bail to get out of jail, and will set a date for a preliminary hearing. Thompson spent the night in a D.C. jail after U.S. Capitol Police determined Monday that he did not have a permit to carry a gun in Washington, D.C., where only law enforcement officials are allowed to carry handguns.

He is charged with carrying a pistol without a license and possession of an unregistered firearm and unregistered ammunition. According to the court docket, Monday was Thompson's birthday.

A senior Democratic aide said Monday evening that Thompson forgot that he had the weapon when he sent the senator's bag through the X-ray machine at the office building. The aide said Webb gave the bag that contained the gun to Thompson when the aide drove the senator to the airport.

Webb said he has been in New Orleans since Friday and returned Monday night. He denied that he gave the weapon to Thompson.

Insane Senator Webb's aide was arested for bringing a gun (and clips) into the Capitol. Apparently (we have determined by putting Webb's answers through the Clinton transmogrifier) it was WEBB's gun that the aide somehow came in possession of.

webb gave a press conference where his "piggy eyes were darting back and forth indicating he was a bit nervous.

I am hoping that people will quit arguing about the Second Amendment and focus on WHY Webb was carrying a gun inot the Capitol!!!

On one hand I could support Webb and his aide if Webb took the high road on this and admitted his mistake but if he is going to try and pin this on the aide then Webb should be penalized to the fullest extent of the law.........

As the story develops..., will Webb claim that his aide stole Webb's gun, placed it in Webb's bag, and was on a mission to wreak havoc on the Senate? (Classic politico response...).

I cannot feature any way that I would support this absolutely horrible person (Webb). If you ask me, he was up to something nefarious and only through a lucky search was he derailed.

I don't think ANY of Congress needs to be packing heat into the Capitol building, but ESPECIALLY that lunatic Webb.

I think it is high time we start finding out about Webb's past history with his former wife. And where is his current wife, who seems to be missing in action?

And what in the heck was he doing in New Orleans?

WHY Webb was carrying a gun inot the Capitol!!!

Because it wasn't the first time he had carried it into the Capitol building and he is a VIP.

Webb does seem to have a few loose screws.

Those two things don't explain why he felt the need to carry one to begin with. Does he not trust the Capitol Hill police? Does he think he is being followed? Does he fear being punched by Jeff Sessions?

I want an explanation!

Sadly you are right...NOTHING will happen to either of them past a slap on the wrist for Thompson.

We already addressed that several thrads ago. It's pretty obvious it was some sort of operation having to do with Webb's antipathy toward the Bush administration ~ and given that Webb is stark raving mad we can easily imagine what that was.

BTW, Webb surrounds himself with brownshirt types who are more than willing to be thrown under the buss, or tank, or whatever. Some of them are probably dangerous.

If you ask me, he has so many loose screws he could start a machine shop.

The guy is a walking inferno of bottled rage, he hates women and minorities, he hates President Bush and almost everyone in his administration, and he is both a liar and an opportunist.

And I haven't even gotten to his books!

Flat-out nuts!

I am sorry I missed those other threads. I am most nervus about this brownshirt discussion, as I have been noticing this behavior on campuses and in various democratic venues.

Most unsettling.

I'm sure that Katie and Pinchie and Timmah and Chrissy and all the rest of them just can't wait to start digging into that one. It's sure to be a front page investigative special. </extreme dripping sarcasm>

the one to really watch will be the Compost, which on the one hand almost single handedly destroyed George Allen so this vile Webb thing could get elected in the first place, and on the other hand has been wailing non-stop about how it's the end of the universe because the DC gun ban got overturned. My guess is they will ignore this story with every fiber in their being - you won't even see it buried at the back of the Metro section.

The guy who owns the Post is also an ex-marine. His intention in crushing Allen wasn't simply to get rid of Allen. He really did want Webb elected ~ think of him kind of like one of the rich German industrialists who backed Hitler.

Every single thing that Webb does needs to be put on You Tube. Sooner or later Virginians are going to have to do something about this guy.
