Gary Condit was a REPUBLICAN! Who knew?!? http://www.nationalenquirer.com/chandra_levy_murder_trial_parents_torment_ingmar_guandique_condit_/celebrity/69516

If one person is associated with the mysterious slaying of Washington intern Chandra Levy, it isn't the man who will soon be tried on charges he murdered her. It's former California congressman Gary Condit, whose political career imploded after he was romantically linked to the woman and became the No. 1 suspect. Ingmar Guandique, an illegal immigrant from El Salvador, goes on trial Monday for Levy's 2001 killing.

Joe Scarborough was surely right about one thing: he's going to take some flak . . . On today's Morning Joe, Scarborough said that Sarah Palin has been "lowering the bar" with her public pronouncements, asserting that she hasn't done the necessary homework to permit her to speak seriously on the issues. Joe also claimed that while "top conservatives" are afraid to take Palin on publicly, they express views similar to his "behind the scenes." View video here.

On Friday, Assistant U.S. Attorney Fernando Campoamor told a judge in D.C Superior Court that accused murderer and gang member Ingmar Guandique, 28, along with members of the MS-13 gang threatened to kill a witness and his family, if he testifies at Guandique’s January trial.A Salvadoran national in this country illegally, Guandique was arrested last April for the murder of missing intern Chandra Levy, who disappeared in 2001. Her skeletal remains were discovered a year later in D.C.’s Rock Creek Park.At the time of his arrest for the Levy murder, he was already in prison for the assault of two...

The attorneys representing Ingmar Guandique told a D.C. Superior Court judge on Friday that they believe that Chandra Levy was killed somewhere other than Rock Creek Park, where the former congressional intern's remains were found.

Police are preparing to make an arrest in the murder of Congressional Intern Chandra Levy... ...an inmate in the D.C. corrections system has told other prisoners that he killed Levy after seeing her in the park where her body was found. The inmate is identified as Igman Andique. He is in jail for attacks on other women in that same park. The case has stumped police for years and ended the career of California Congressman Gary Condit after he was romantically linked to the 24-year-old from Modesto.

I saw a lead in to this story on John Gibson's show but I was unable to watch it? What is the story?

I was just wondering if anyone remembers, back in 2000-2001, if any of the Democrat operatives called for Gary Condit to resign. I mean, he had an affair with a young staffer who was subsequently murdered...

SACRAMENTO (AP) - California's political watchdog announced a $2.5 million lawsuit Friday against the son and daughter of former Rep. Gary Condit, accusing them of illegally pocketing $226,000 in campaign money. The Fair Political Practices Commission said Chad and Cadee Condit took money that was originally raised by their father to explore a run for state office and illegally spent it for personal purposes. Gary Condit, D-Ceres, served 13 years in Congress before losing a re-election campaign in 2002 after he became caught up in news coverage of the disappearance and death of Washington D.C. intern Chandra Levy. Condit denied...

As one who has seen these hurricanes up close as a Gulf Coast resident, news reporter and member of Congress — where I got a behind the scenes look at how to run relief operations — I have been trying to connect the dots for those of you who have not been so intimately involved in hurricane recovery efforts. With so many trying to figure out why so few acted professionally in the first days of this epic crisis, I offer an insider's view of who is to blame for this national disgrace. We begin with Harry Truman who famously...

Court Tv Cable Channel is having a special on the Chandra Levy murder case tonight at 9:30 EDT. They claim to have new details. Might be worth watching.

Former congressman Gary Condit takes the stand Monday in a defamation lawsuit against author Dominick Dunne. Condit is expected to have to answer, under oath, whether or not he had sex with Chandra Levy. Will anything be brought to light in this trial? We'll have more on "The Big Story Weekend."

Former congressman scrutinized in his libel suit against author Dunne. Then-congressman Gary Condit's reputation was on the line in late 2001 when his re-election campaign commissioned a survey. Now his reputation is again on the line, though he no longer holds office. As he pursues a defamation lawsuit against author Dominick Dunne, the $11 million question is when did Condit's stature sour. Condit claims Dunne's comments cost him dearly, up to and including the March 2002 Democratic primary election when Condit lost his job. Dunne's attorneys retort that Condit's actions undermined his public standing. This dispute over who's responsible for...

Former U.S. Representative Gary Condit: I swear to tell the whole truth, and nothing but the truth….

Fallen ex-U.S. Rep. Gary Condit has defiantly denied under oath that he had a steamy affair with doomed intern Chandra Levy — flying in the face of allegations from police and her family that he did, NBC's "Today" show reports. Asked in a recent deposition, "Can you describe in general terms your relationship with Ms. Levy?" the gray-haired ex-congressman from California tersely replied: "We were friends." "Did you relationship ever become romantic?" Condit is pressed again. "No," he replied, according to a transcript of the explosive deposition, parts of which are set to air today and tomorrow on the...

Former California Rep. Gary Condit must answer embarrassing questions about his sex life with Chandra Levy and other women as part of his defamation suit against crime author Dominick Dunne, a federal judge ruled yesterday. Manhattan District Judge Peter Leisure also said Condit must disclose information about his personal finances as part of the discovery in the suit. [snip] Leisure said Condit couldn't have it both ways — sue Dunne and then prevent the defendants from cross-examining thoroughly for facts. "Unfortunately for plaintiff, he opened that door himself by filing this lawsuit," Leisure said. "The court cannot allow plaintiffs...

Former Rep. Gary Condit must answer questions about his sexual history in his slander case against a magazine writer who suggested Condit knew more than he let on about the death of intern Chandra Levy, a judge ruled Wednesday. The ruling does not mean the information elicited by lawyers for Dominick Dunne, a special correspondent to Vanity Fair, will be made public. Judge Peter K. Leisure said he may order that the testimony be kept confidential. But Condit cannot "use the court system as both a sword and a shield" by filing the $11 million lawsuit in December 2002, and...

Former California Congressman Gary Condit is coming to New York — to try to clear his name over the mysterious death of intern Chandra Levy by pursuing his defamation suit against crime author Dominick Dunne. But lawyers for Dunne plan to grill Condit over his relationship with Levy, whose remains were found in Washington, D.C. in May 2002 after she had been missing for over a year. Condit charges that Dunne falsely linked him to Levy's disappearance. He's seeking $11 million in damages. Investigators concluded Condit was not a suspect, although he admitted to having an affair with Levy. No...

Kitty Kelley’s publicist is DC-area spin doctor Marina Ein. When I read that in the Washington Post today, the name rang a bell way in the back of my cerebral cortex. Marina Ein worked as a spin doctor for former Democratic Congressman Gary Condit, and attempted to smear the then-missing Chandra Levy by giving a reporter a “heads up on a story by Lisa DePaulo that was coming out in "Talk" magazine, and speculated that there would be questions, or there would be stories about a history of one night stands in Chandra Levy’s past.” As Josh Marshall recalls,...
