OMG Clinton person linked to Obama file breach. Per KO

[Neshanic]

[oviedodem]

1. I did not catch her name but she was named ambassador during clinton's administration

[PM7nj]

6. Her name is Maura Hardy

[Coexist]

38. Asst. Secretary of State for Consular Affairs, according to this'

http://edition.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0607/17/bn.02.html

[DJ13]

74. Heres her photo

[Spiffarino]

165. Ack!

Sorry...

[defendandprotect]

197. And how is she a "contract employee" . . . what does that mean ?????

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

250. Revolving door?

Leave government employ, come back as higher-paid contractor, same job, same desk?

Good work if you can get it.

[Texas Hill Country]

260. she is not. she was a supervisor a couple steps above the contract employees that did this.

it was not her that did it i dont think? Keith didnt really make that clear...

[defendandprotect]

263. But . . . did she report it . . . ???? Otherwise, why is she mentioned?

[crankychatter]

224. I accidentally duplicated this thread.. new guy, sorry

that's it

[damndude]

DUCK!!!!

[damndude]

49. honestly........

i would hope that she would not go this far to win and until there is more information i would advise reserving judgment. but if this is the case, either with her knowledge or 'without', it's time to end this once and for all. if anything i would hope that this was all only done in by an overzealous supporters and not by one of her surrogates.

[Zueda]

32. Ambassador to Paraguay of all places...

certainly sounds like one of them loyalty reward positions. :shrug:

Paraguay?

[helderheid]

48. Are you serious? Where Bush is buying land over the aquifer??

[Zueda]

61. curious... isn't it?

[Usrename]

172. I make my own.

on edit> make sure that you put the shiny side out because if you get it reversed all it does is magnify the beams and makes everything ten times worse...

[AntiFascist]

229. Even more curious, she's been accused of favoring Saudi interests...

127. Paraguay doesn't count!!

[jakem]

245. LOL!

[AzDar]

2. I heard that too...thought I was mistaken.

:wow:

[Neshanic]

13. If this is true....My jaw was on the floor too.

[slinkerwink]

16. her immediate supervisor is patrick kennedy, the secretary of management

[ThatBozGuy]

You mean Patrick "no relation" Kennedy, Assistant Secretary of State for the Clinton Administration?

?

[Adelante]

62. Patrick F. Kennedy

who endorsed Hillary, I believe.

[angie_love]

3. just now??

[polichick]

8. Yes, he just read the statement.

[slinkerwink]

20. hardy was appointed ambassador during clinton administration

and is now the supervisor of those employees.

[polichick]

30. I can't say that I'm the slightest bit surprised...

Win at ALL costs is the motto.

[LostinVA]

158. Career Foreign Service appointed to this position by George W. Bush

[slinkerwink]

4. more information?

[polichick]

I figured it could be part of the kitchen sink strategy, but that was QUICK!

[NYCGirl]

5. I didn't hear that. NT

[Coexist]

7. what? I watched it and didn't hear it.

[Johnny__Motown]

54. the 10:00 o'oclock version of Countdown was different, it was new info

[apocalypsehow]

9. I just heard it too. Can't say I'm surprised.

n/t.

[HughMoran]

136. really now

Hmmm, says all I need to know.

[slinkerwink]

10. maura hardy? ambassador to paraguay? I don't get it

[slinkerwink]

15. supervisor in charge of employees had ties to clinton administration

[Barack_America]

11. The link is tenuous at best at the moment....

But it is interesting. Of even more interest is that the woman in question, Maura Hardy, has very recently "retired". So she may not be subject to an investigation by the Inspector General.

This is really starting to smell.

[stop the bleeding]

12. Why is the transcript taking SO LONG?

Ugh! :beer:

14. If this is true, I approve of B word messages.Only if this is fact.

This is no big deal

Reverend Wright!!!!Michigan!!!!!!!Ready on Day One!!!!!!!Kitchen Sink!!!!!!!!!


:eyes:

[slinkerwink]

24. there needs to be an investigation

[slinkerwink]

33. man.....

The firing of the two contractors makes them immune to questioning by the State Department Inspector General. When and by whom were these contractors fired? If the contractors were fired by their immediate (low-level) supervisors, who were the only ones so far to have investigated their motives, was this a part of a cover-up by the supervisors who did not report the breeches to higher-up? Why have not the immediate supervisors been disciplined?

The fact that the IG has not yet started his investigation makes any statement about the motives or subsequent actions of the contractors completely suspect. BTW, there is no actual IG, just an acting IG at State, according to MSNBC.

[JBoy]

115. Waterboard them.

I hear that's quite effective, and necessary.

[Life Long Dem]

Oh there will be an investigation at the very least

[Debi]

68. Should have been one in January and in February and obviously now

x(

[buff2]

22. Oh please.......

how desperate are you? :eyes:

[Life Long Dem]

37. Hillary IS looking guilty. You better hold on tight.

[buff2]

52. I just farted

Now she will lose for sure.It's all her damn fault.

[Life Long Dem]

98. Your just being funny.

:yoiks:

[buff2]

128. It's all HILLARY'S fault

EVERYTHING is Hillary's fault. Get it?

[Life Long Dem]

183. Not everything. Well not things that are outside of politics and Obama anyway.

[Forkboy]

231. What's new? Every post of yours is stinky hot air.

[damndude]

before we jump to that conclusion

would she actually link herself to what amounts to political espionage in a governmental agency and would the insiders in the bush state dpt really be honest enough to tip off the media when the best thing for them is for hillary to beat obama and thus ensuring the match up between she and mccain. she cant be that desperate to think that the would get away with it. she and bill attract independent counsels like a whore with a herpes flare up.

[americanstranger]

39. Umm... Neshanic, I believe, is one of yours.

BTW - Gonna drop a big racist bomb on this thread like the one that got torched the other night?

Can't wait!!

[Neshanic]

57. Yes, I am a Hillary person, voting for the presumptive, which is Obama

[americanstranger]

Wouldn't want to see you Clinton peeps beating each other up. there are plenty of Obama peeps to go around. :D

[Forkboy]

111. LOL...it's a Hillary supporter.

Source:- pulled straight from your'e ass...

[Tarheel_Dem]

103. wow, what a fitting screen name....

and what the hell is "your'e"? I take it you're drunk as we speak?:crazy:

[Tropics_Dude83]

26. Hillary Clinton will stop at nothing to win

This is outrageous. Muslim smear, playing the race card, now sending her hacks to illegally view state department passport files.

She is worse than Nixon. I call on her to exit the race NOW.

[AX10]

35. ...

:eyes:
You calling on her to drop out of the race is not going to do anything.
And she is not worse than Nixon.
You Obambots really have to pull for anything to smear HRC.

[buff2]

46. I made a pledge to myself today to tone it down

in here. But Obama supporters make it very difficult. WAIT! I just farted. GOD DAMN THAT HILLARY. IT'S ALL HER FAULT!!!! Geeus effin H Khrist. This place has gotten so way over the line it's pathetic. :puke:

[Hoof Hearted]

85. Do you think you matter that much?

Why are there so many recent Obama supporters with such an extremely exaggerated sense of self-importance?

Good GAWD.

[Tarheel_Dem]

120. you really don't care how she wins, do you?

I can't believe after seven years of the Bush Administration that any true "progressive" would countenance these sort of tactics. Remember the outrage we all felt when we learned about the secret NSA wiretapping? I just don't get the double standard, and what you have to believe these days in order to continue to defend the indefensible.

[CarbonDate]

237. Double standard? It's easy.

It's called partisanship. Remember IOKIYAR? Works the other way, too.

[buff2]

166. It's best to get out of these NOBAMA threads

You can't argue with people that are nuts. It's scary that these people are free to roam the streets. Damn that reagan for shutting down all the mental institutions!

[buff2]

108. LOL LOL LOL

You people are really getting desperate. I was a little upset at first,but damn... wading through all this horse shit I can't help laughing.Anything about Hillary draws you haters out like a magnet on a freeper. :rofl:

[rodeodance]

195. You are looking real FOOLISH with your faux OUTRAGE

[catgirl]

27. How can they do a proper investigation

if they're releasing names already? Two of the three were immediately fired.
Did they get questioned? I find it hard to believe that this was just discovered
today.

[americanstranger]

28. Holy crap. If true, Hillary is big toasty toast.

She'd be lucky if they allowed her to stay in the Democratic party.

If true. I'll wait and see.

- as

[Zhade]

50. Man, I really can't wait for clinton to accept she's lost, but DAMN I do NOT want this to be true.

It would confirm just how treacherous she can be.

[Mooney]

29. Huh?

I watched his 8pm broadcast and didn't see anything like that at all.

[Tropics_Dude83]

34. He's doing a live 2nd hour n/t

[JanusAscending]

56. He did his regularly planned broadcast

in the 10 P.M. slot, instead of a re-broadcast per usual.

[stillcool]

36. I can't effing believe it!!

jayzus...that sure raises the ante...

[TwilightGardener]

40. Whoa. This is not going to look good.

[AZBlue]

41. If that's true...say buh-bye to former Presidential Candidate, Sen. Clinton.

[rainbow4321]

180. I'd say "Former Senator Clinton". n/t

[AZBlue]

194. Yeah, that too!

Perhaps President Obama will give her a pardon just to show how much class he has.

[Johnny__Motown]

42. She retired at the end of Feb. the 2 people who did it while she was there were fired, the 3rd, not

It was said earlier that "there is something different between the first two events and the third one". I forget which talking head blurted that out.


So, perhaps the difference was that those 2 worked under ... umm.... Her.... and the 3rd one didn't.


It may also be why we learned about the 3rd one so quickly, it was only a week ago, not 2 months.

[malik flavors]

60. Shit, so she didn't report it. She just fired them and they can't be interviewed now.

The new person reported the 3rd one.

Why was there a 3rd, if she retired though?

[slinkerwink]

72. I don't know. I want a full investigation into this.

[stop the bleeding]

78. Good question, along with many others that need to be answered.

:beer:

[Johnny__Motown]

83. I am not sure she fired them (poorly phrased) may have been fired after she left

I dont know....

[karynnj]

They can still be interviewed - it's a crime

not just an infraction of office rules.

[Texas Hill Country]

262. she didnt fire them i think, it was a subordinate of hers that did... she is several step above

these people.

[stop the bleeding]

64. Good observation

:beer:

[slinkerwink]

65. ah, interesting........

[americanstranger]

149. Speculation: maybe they found out about the first two

and gave her the 'opportunity' to bail before they notified Obama.

- as

[Johnny__Motown]

185. Maybe, but then it happened again. This is just weird.. gonna need to hear more

My speculation was that the 3rd one got caught and is talking (saving his/her job). Giving up the first two who were then fired.

[damndude]

203. andrea mitchell on the second hour of olbermann

[LisaL]

215. According to the wikipedia, she announced her plans to

retire in February back in November, before any breaches.
This whole speculation is ridiculous.

[mythyc]

240. yeah, because high level espionage with insiders is never planned

two can play at the knifey-spoony game .... :eyes:

[malik flavors]

43. i'm looking forward to hearing more

[Frank Booth]

44. Wow. Very, very disturbing.

If I cared at all about Hillary's political future, I'd be shitting my pants right now.

[slinkerwink]

75. Let's wait for the investigation first....

It does look bad.

[rainbow4321]

182. Me thinks the investigation is already done

We just haven't heard the details...yet.

[TahitiNut]

45. Ohhhhh.... that's gotta sting!

47. Link - because I trust Keith as much as I trust Bill-o.

Got any good Newsmax links?

[Dinger]

242. I Hate Newsmax, And Would Never Use Them As A Source,

and I don't care to speculate on Obama either.

[Tarheel_Dem]

151. Shades of "TRAVELGATE"? Just another reminder to people who

aren't sure about Hillary's honesty. It just brings back to life, the perception that she'll do anything to get ahead. Even if proven untrue, some will still believe it, because it's Hillary and she has a well established M.O.

[buff2]

155. Where is the proof?

No links no nothing. Just a rush limbaugh ditto head starting rumors. You people are going to get a real wake up call when NOBAMA loses to an old dementia laden 72 year old man. NOBAMA will never make it to the WH and you can bank on that! He has stirred up so much shit since he started running the American people are going to reject his lying racist ass like maggots on a dead animal.

[Dinger]

163. Shhh. We're Not Supposed To Ask For Any (nt)

[apocalypsehow]

181. "his lying racist ass like maggots on a dead animal" - Your fellow HRC supporter above posted that.

Are you proud of that kind of slur against a Democratic candidate for president?

[Dinger]

193. No, But I'm Still Waiting For A Link To Substantiate This "Story" (nt)

[americanstranger]

218. Yeah, that one alternates

between nasty, insulting, borderline-racist posts and being all apologetic and promising not to be so bad.

Hateful and vicious, but still interesting to watch.

Another racist post. I knew you wouldn't disappoint.

Okay, now it's time for the regretful 'I gotta stop being so bad' post.

:rofl:

[DangerousRhythm]

63. Holy crap.

I really, really didn't want to believe there could be any link, though I am not a Hillary supporter. I don't really know what to believe about this and I guess I'll be waiting for more information, as KO just talked about before his show ended just now...

If, and only IF the Clinton campaign had anything to do with this, that is DAMN low. I hope that isn't the case though, seriously. I expect this crap of the current administration. I don't want to imagine that a potential future administration could go the same damned route. Here's hoping this is cleared up and more info comes to light. If it's really true, this is completely unacceptable.

[slinkerwink]

66. that's why I support a full investigation into this

[DangerousRhythm]

87. Completely agreed.

I'm still stunned at this. What balls, seriously. Whoever did this had big brass ones, but wow...

[berni_mccoy]

67. KABOOOOOOOM!!!!! That was the sound of Clinton's campaign DESTROYING ITSELF.

[slinkerwink]

70. would that explain why Larry Johnson, Clinton supporter, was downplaying this story?

[Whisp]

191. I heard Larry on Anderson cooper

he was the first person Anderson spoke to (over the phone) and larry sounded out of breath and excited - I don't know if ths is how he sounds normally as I haven't heard him speak before.

but practically the first words out of his mouth were - No big deal, nothng to see here (paraphrase)

my antennae went up instantly.

plus, Anderson did not say anything about Larry being a Clinton supporter/spokesperson. I thought they were now required to identity partisan speakers.

[damndude]

205. as was lawrence eagleberger

[JackORoses]

220. he quickly blamed it on the Repukes

of course he is doing damage control

[Neshanic]

73. If true, she needs to excommunicated from the party. Period.

79. It could be freelancing

someone wants to help HRC out a bit, runs some silly risks...

76. and to think that some people still want Hillary to be president

[JimGinPA]

77. The Clintons Wouldn't Be Involved In This...

As far as I know.

[apocalypsehow]

86. LOL!

[Zhade]

113. Oh, that had to hurt.

:D

[Unsane]

80. WTF

...

[TwilightGardener]

81. Let's not jump to conclusions, though. She could just be an idiot.

[K Gardner]

88. Alright.. you guys know how much I'd love this to mean something, but really.. does it

mean anything? She wasn't the one who hacked the passport file, right? So, they're saying she basically covered it up.. was she the one who knew about it this whole time..? I'm just not making the connection.

[Teaser]

94. The point is to investigate

it may, ultimately, all be nothing. But there are leads and there are leads.

[TwilightGardener]

105. If you believe that the breaches were idle curiosity, and that the decision

to fire the first contractor without notifying higher-ups was just because it was no big deal, then this woman is just a piss-poor manager (before she retired). I happen to believe that since the files were breached after his Iowa win, and he was never notified of that first breach, and it was swept under the rug, until a second and third breach occurred with NO investigation of any kind, well...you believe what you want. I don't know about Hillary's involvement, but I do believe it was of course politically motivated.

[K Gardner]

167. OK.. I see what you're saying. That's what I was trying to figure out is if she

was the one who didn't notify anyone.

[americanstranger]

112. She could have asked them.

Hell, she was a superior - she could have ordered them.

And her untimely departure could have been an effort to shield herself, since the IG can no longer interview her about it if she's not an employee.

I was only half-joking about Clinton involvement earlier. The fact that I could actually be right scares me.

[krkaufman]

214. There will be much ado about potentially nothing. In that we'll likely never get a firm answer.

alas....

[dsc]

91. Keith is a lying hack

Maura Harty (born c. 1959) is the current United States Assistant Secretary of State for the Bureau of Consular Affairs, a post she has held since 21 November 2002. She is a career Foreign Service Officer, though the Assistant Secretary position is a presidential appointment. In November 2007, Harty announced that she will resign the Assistant Secretary position and retire from the Foreign Service in February 2008.

Harty is a native of Staten Island, New York. She graduated from New Dorp High School in 1977, where she was elected "Most Likely to Succeed" and "Class Citizen". Harty received her bachelor's degree at Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service, where she was a member of the Mu Alpha chapter of the service fraternity Alpha Phi Omega. She began her career with the Department of State in 1981 as a vice-consul in Mexico City, Mexico.

Harty went on to serve several tours in Washington, DC, including tours as special assistant to Secretary of State George Shultz, executive assistant to Warren Christopher, and Executive Secretary of the Department. She served abroad as the U.S. Ambassador to Paraguay from 1997 to 1999.

During her tenure as Assistant Secretary, Harty has overseen the introduction of new security regulations in response to the September 11, 2001 attacks. In her position, she serves as primary liaison within the Department of State and the Department of Homeland Security's Customs and Border Patrol and Citizenship and Immigration Services on security and visa issues.

she is a career service officer. Shame on him.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maura_Harty

[BlackVelvet04]

117. And this makes her a Clinton operative how?

This should be interesting. Thanks for the info.

[journalist3072]

134. Wow...thank you for this....This person is NOT a political appointee, but career person. Can you

please make this into your own thread so we can K&R?

[LostinVA]

162. I already made such an OP

[DURHAM D]

210. The problem is most Obama supporters don't know

what the state department is - much less a career service officer.

[Zueda]

156. It's right there in your post...

"She served abroad as the U.S. Ambassador to Paraguay from 1997 to 1999."

She was made ambassador to Paraguay by Bill Clinton. Sounds like a loyalty reward position.

[dsc]

221. No it isn't

as anyone with a passing knowledge of our government would know. Career diplomats don't get ambassadorships out of currying political favor. They get them by rising in the ranks of the foreign service. That is how Wilson got to be ambassador to Iraq.

[sudopod]

227. Or how Victor Ashe got to be Ambassador to Poland

after being a (R) mayor of Knoxville, TN.

lolz

[dsc]

244. Ashe was a political appointee

as was Hormel and Harriman. Both parties do that and both parties also promote careerists to some ambassadorships. Mostly ones no one really would want such as Paraguay.

Bill Clinton is one big walking CoI for his wife's campaign.

This may have been done by someone HE APPOINTED.

You must have the basic sense of a 3rd grader to understand this, right?

148. The word was that she was appointed by Bill.

That's a closer association, don't ya think?

[BlackVelvet04]

She works for the bush administration now......

you do have the basic sense of a box of rocks, right?

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

159. And worked with Warren Christopher previously.

[buff2]

121. His supporters are just fuckin NUTS!

Can you imagine HIM in the WH?? Nut cases like I've never seen before. They make the freepers look sane.

[thewiseguy]

132. And what are you? Fucking smart?

[BlackVelvet04]

137. Obviously smart enough to know she is now an employee of the

bush administration.

[thewiseguy]

141. Who hired her to her position in the first place?

And you would not be any smart if you thought all the state department employees were rethugs. Get a grip!

[BlackVelvet04]

164. so what? she works for the bush administration now. n/t

[thewiseguy]

171. Your logic is just stunning!

[LostinVA]

170. She was appointed to this position by George W. Bush, she is career FS

[Tarheel_Dem]

176. same difference..........n/t

[BlackVelvet04]

140. Obviously smart enough to know she is now an employee of the

bush administration.

[buff2]

173. I'm smart enough to think for myself

and not be led into a cult with a bunch of nut cases.

[rodeodance]

192. pretty smart she is. YOU are trying to blame Hillary. silly

[grateful581]

161. nice name calling

"can't have it both ways"
wtf are you talking about?

[TwilightGardener]

174. Their true nature comes out under duress, does it not?

[rodeodance]

188. beyond the pale!!

[Neshanic]

107. Excuse me, I am going outside to vomit behind some palm trees.

This is sickening.

[Neshanic]

129. Feel better now. Whoever saw KO belt it out, knows it was fast but linked to Clinton.

It was fast. Clinton ties.

[LostinVA]

177. There are no "Clinton ties," anymore than Bush ties

:sigh:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maura_Harty

[Neshanic]

187. Did you see KO's statements? He bundled it up. Fast. Just sayin'.

[LostinVA]

200. Do youlisten to facts or what some talking head on TV says for ratings?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maura_Harty

[JohnnyLib2]

109. 15 minute stampede on GD:P.

This may be a record for rushing to judgment. Thank God for anonymity.

:sarcasm:

[workinclasszero]

122. A Hillbot involved?

Boy, couldn't see that coming.:sarcasm::sarcasm::sarcasm:

[BlackVelvet04]

126. No....a bush employee. n/t

[Johnny__Motown]

133. Ambassador under Clinton, works under Bush, also the other Bush and Reagan

But it was Clinton that made her an Ambassador

[BlackVelvet04]

inferiority complex maybe?

[JimGinPA]

142. Two Career Civil Servants With Ties To The Clintons - No Meat Yet...

As far as I know.

[Emit]

152. What, are you getting paid for damage control?

lol.

[DerekJ]

131. ....

:wow:

[Bullet1987]

146. Guys let's wait for more information before we point fingers

This will be all over the news tomarrow...

[adoraz]

144. wow IF the Clintons were behind this....

I think we can say goodbye to Hillary for good. That would be lower than low.

I still don't know if I believe they really were though. Hopefully we find out soon.

[LostinVA]

147. Maura Harty is a career FS employee appointed by George W. Bush to her position

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maura_Harty

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

153. And was appointed to a previous position by Bill.

Not mutually exclusive.

But your link mentions that she worked with Warren Christopher. :think:

[Tellurian]

178. She was an Ambassador to Paraguay 9 years ago..

The woman has worked for several administrations..

Put the knives down. It isn't gonna fly. You should all contact Olberman with an e-mail telling him how stupid he is for raising your blood pressure to the boiling point before he know all the facts!

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

190. One of them Bills'.

All I'm saying. :shrug:

We'll wait for the results of the investigation together.

And just a reminder, when you say that your campaign is going to "throw the kitchen sink," said campaign loses the moral high ground. It's as simple as that.

:hi:

[Frank Booth]

199. Yep. You nailed it.

The sweetest job she ever had in her life. And who does she owe it all to? The Clintons.

[Europeanblogger]

202. So why doesn't the OP call her a "Bush person" rather than a "Clinton person",

If your only fucking tie to Clinton is a post in a far-away country a decade ago, while her link to bush is that she works for him

[Tellurian]

168. Yup, Clinton's name not even mentioned...She's worked for Bush for the last 8yrs..

Wow.. Olberman takes the Obamamamites over the cliff on this one.

I hope he has the common courtesy to apologize and so does Sen Obama.

[rodeodance]

201. KO set the Obamafolks into a little tizzy. Wonder if they will apologize??

[thewiseguy]

208. When was the last time you apologized for some of your posts on DU?

[greguganus]

234. n/t

[Lucinda]

154. She started her Dep of State career in 1981 according to the Wiki link upthread

[grantcart]

189. If the Clinton's were behind it wouldn't it make a lot more sense for

their person to take it once rather than have multiple peaks?

[dailykoff]

223. Depends on what's in the file.

Maybe it's huge.

[mmonk]

196. Sibel has said the State Department is corrupt.

Pretty much indicates she is accurate.

[Barack_America]

204. People please. There is NO EVIDENCE for a Clinton connection at this time.

Really there's no evidence of a political connection at all (though it certainly smells like one)

But, regardless:
1. Maura Harty apparently retired last month

2. It is very unlikely that these breaches were reported to her level in the chain of command until yesterday or today.

The only thing we know so far is that these incidents were not reported up as they should have been, and continued to occur in the meantime (as if that weren't bad enough).

Let's not get hysterical here.

[Major Hogwash]

209. You can't spell Hypocrisy without an "H".

Nor Hillary.

Coincidence?

I think not.

This "win at all costs" shit she is involved in now is bad for the Democratic party, she needs to drop out of the race.

[WinkyDink]

249. And you can't spell "Bulls**t" without a "B".

[DemzRock]

211. LOL! Some of you guys really sound like full-blown tin-foil hatters...

You know, once you start the everything-is-Clinton's-fault stuff without evidence, it all becomes noise. And it makes me want to support Team Clinton even more strongly.

[emilyg]

219. He's an idiot.

[New Dawn]

225. I'm definitely not surprised. n/t

[sudopod]

226. Hmmmmm

[dailykoff]

228. First Eliot, then Hillary,

Tough week for NY.

[msallied]

230. Hillary Nixon... has a nice ring to it, doesn't it?

[McCamy Taylor]

232. Don't tell me KO accused Hillary of stealing Obama's passport.

I have to see this....

[BringBigDogBack]

235. wow...

[rucky]

236. Y'all, Dick Morris is a former "Clinton person"

It doesn't mean shit until she's linked to Hillary's campaign. Don't shoot your wads just yet.

[Tom Rinaldo]

247. So is George Tenet n/t

[Perry Logan]

238. People, people, people! Don't you realize that all accusations against the Clintons are bullshit?

" Maura Harty was appointed by the George W. Bush government"

239. Typical feeding frenzy by the O people.. No facts, feeding on their own spin..

35 recds on baseless spin.

[Echotrail]

241. Ish. n/t

.

[WinkyDink]

251. A Danny Noriega fan? :)

[susankh4]

243. K.O. has gone over the deep end....

we really need to write to CNN and suggest that he be given a vacation. One where he can get a good psychiatric evaluation.

[Life Long Dem]

248. Security breaches are serious and especially serious in our goverment

It's actually causing alarm for the government in other instances through the use of networks. When a contractor has access to Obama's personal information, you bet there are alarms going off. And we need to get to the bottom of this.

[WinkyDink]

246. I can't believe how many Democrats here are so willing to believe that a

candidate from our Party and/or a former Democratic President would perpetrate, effect, or condone this criminal act.

IF the evidence shows this assumption to be fact, so be it. But it's the ASSUMPTION itself here, with no proof, that I find dismaying, to say the least.

[Life Long Dem]

253. The thing is only a night old. Jeez, some people are writing this off . Crazy.

[Dinger]

252. Shuster, What A Surprise

He must still be pissed for being suspended because of his own STUPID/SEXIST comments. What, he thinks this is payback? If he thinks a suspension is bad, well . . .

Keith, you should know better. You could be next.

[robbedvoter]

254. "connection is tenuous but fascinating" - always enough to smear Clintons

MSGOP is doing to KO what W did to Powell: squeezing the last ounce of credibility out of him. By the time GE rolls in , he will be officially a clown to all.:+

[Dinger]

255. I'd Call This Whole Thing "Shuster's Revenge"

That little bastard must be pissed!

[leftynyc]

257. If it's proven the Clintons are behind this

her campaign is over and she should resign her senate seat as well.

[rodeodance]

259. nothing but Rovian Whispering at this point--helped along by DU

[leftynyc]

261. Understood

Please note I said "if". Although I see many of Sen Obama supporters all too willing to gleefully pass along any dirt. Someone should explain that unity thing to these morons.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

258. Is this in the MSM?

the fact it is linked to Clinton?
