I think I found the Key to the Gannon scandal!

[DoYouEverWonder]

It is a company called 'Quinn Gillespie & Assoc. LLC.'


Here's the chain of connections:

Jeff Gannon worked for Talon News. Talon News and GOPUSA both belong to Bobby Eberle. The members of the board of directors are mostly active GOP Operatives from Texas.

Board member, Richard M. Powell is the Managing Director for Quinn Gillespie & Assoc. LLC.

Gillespie is none other than Ed Gillespie who was on a 'leave of absence' running the RNC for the 2004 Election.

But hang on folks, this doesn't involve just the GOP, it involves the DEMS too!

So who is Quinn, in this Quinn, Gillespie? Surprise, surprise he is a fellowed name Jack Quinn, a top DEM DC lobbyist.


Check out the News Page on their Website. This goes all the way to the Bush Campaign and the Kerry Campaign! They are all in bed together.

The Hill, June, 2004

"The home of former Democratic White House hand Jack Quinn and Republican Ed Gillespie (when he’s not running the RNC), this firm has become one of the top full-service shops around, combining lobbying and public-affairs prowess."


Roll Call, November 2004

After helping to secure a second term for President Bush, Republican National Committee Chairman Ed Gillespie plans to give up his post by year's end and return to the Washington lobbying shop he helped found four years ago . . . While Gillespie's return provides a boost to Quinn Gillespie & Associates, the firm benefited from his reflected glory at the RNC: It added a bit of business during Gillespie's absence, rather than seeing receipts drop off.


National Journal, August 2004

As Republican National Committee Chairman Ed Gillespie mixed it up with White House Chief of Staff Andy Card, several Cabinet members, and countless members of Congress over sushi and Chardonnay last night, seven New York police officers patrolled outside the swank Guastavino's restaurant built into the Queensboro Bridge . . . Security plans for last night's "Salute to GOP Chairman Ed Gillespie" were six months in the making. "Given Ed's role as chairman, we fully expected him to attract a very senior VIP crowd -- it was a fundamental part of our thinking from the very beginning," said Rick Powell, managing director at Quinn Gillespie & Associates.


Legal Times, November 2004

If Pennsylvania is a must-have battleground state for Sen. John Kerry, then the four suburban counties flanking Philadelphia could prove his Waterloo. It's Quinn Gillespie & Associates' Bruce Andrews' job to ensure that doesn't happen. As political director for the Kerry-Edwards coordinating committee in Bucks, Montgomery, Delaware, and Chester counties -- an area with more than a sixth of the state's population -- Andrews is charged with directing the push to tip the suburbs into the Democratic column in a state where rural Republican and urban Democratic votes roughly cancel each other out.


The National Journal, March, 2004

"At a time when some lobbyists are making news for all the wrong reasons, Quinn Gillespie's David Hoppe stands out. Ask around town about the former "chief of staff" to ... Majority Leader Trent Lott, R-Miss., and expect to hear words such as 'mature,' 'solid,' and 'credible' from Democrats and Republicans alike. With his one-year ban on lobbying 13 Senate leaders and their aides over, Hoppe can now ply his new trade unfettered in the upper chamber. But Hoppe already helped the firm boost earnings nearly 20 percent last year ... according to Managing Director Richard Powell -- even with name partner Ed Gillespie on a leave of absence to run the Republican National Committee. Partner Jeff Connaughton credits Hoppe with helping to fill the rainmaking role that Gillespie left open."

The National Journal, March, 2004

"The Kerry campaign reports that it now has 182 elite fundraisers nationwide, including 59 "co-chairs" who have raised more than $100,000 apiece... Kerry's co-chairs from K Street include Manny Ortiz of Quinn Gillespie & Associates."
