Did HRC give the go ahead to former aid Harty to breach Sate Dept. security? Hi-tech Watergate?

[Unsane]

This is fucked up.....

Can we count on the Bush admin to do a fair investigation of this? Seems to me they'll want to cover for the Clintons any way they can.

[slinkerwink]

1. I'd wait for an investigation first before linking any political campaigns to this

[Unsane]

2. I'm confident in Bush-led investigations

not.

[rwheeler31]

6. we are tired of waiting

[damndude]

11. seconded

[stillcool]

19. I don't think we will ever know...

as usual. The worst thing about cover-ups is that they promote speculation. The whole story is bizarre.

[Teaser]

3. Let's not make assumptions

Hopefully some reporters can dig out the facts, whatever they are.

Ain't no way an internal investigation ever will.

[sudopod]

22. What you said

The truth will come out in the fullness of time.

Say, about a week.

[meow mix]

4. yes.

id say so..

[jillan]

5. Stop spreading rumors - please!

[Umbram]

7. Oh, if you say so - we'll all just stop wondering. (nt)

[Unsane]

8. Agreed. Apparently I shouldn't ask logical questions.

[mth44sc]

9. seems to me

this farkle is designed by "them" to do damage to the dems period.

Condi never knew nothin' after all...

[Unsane]

10. maybe

[tularetom]

14. I can believe the condi never knew nothin part

She never knew nothin about anything else that's gone on since 2001 why should they trust anyone as incompetent as her with something like this. She'd fuck it up fer sure.

[Strelnikov_]

17. Yep, that part of the cover story I believe n/t

[myrna minx]

12. Come on! As an Obama supporter, I don't like the speculation that HRC was behind this at all.

Would Bushco do this? Yes. This reeks of Bushco. Their crimes are too numerous to count. I'm not willing to think that a fellow Democrat would commit a crime against a fellow Democrat. This type of speculation is like the "When did you stop beating your wife" crap.

On edit: I'm embarrassed that this made it to the "greatest page". COme on. Let's see where this goes, first. We need an investigation.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

13. I think you're taking a flying leap there. There's no evidence HRC did anything of the kind.

If some evidence comes up, then we'll go from there.

[roguevalley]

16. this is out, it isn't going away. hang on, hon, and have faith. Could

be some young kid journalists see a Watergate future for themselves. We'll see.

[Teaser]

27. That kind of journalism so soooo 1970s

.

[Strelnikov_]

15. More likely the Reich is pulling a frame to generally screw with Democrats n/t

[Unsane]

18. too brainy for them

[rodeodance]

20. "cover for the Clintons"--That is one sick OP!

[ruggerson]

21. What's fucked up is your characterization of Harty as a Hillary "aid" (sic)

She is a career diplomat appointed to her current position in State by George Bush.

[DerekJ]

23. Ask yourself, who gave her the big bump?

Bill?
BINGO

[polmaven]

25. If by "big bump" you mean

her first State Department job.....um...she was part of the St. Ronnie administration. Sorry!

[HuffleClaw]

24. i rather doubt it

pretty interesting timing on this though, coming right on the heels of obama's 'typical white person' comments.

[polmaven]

26. Yeah,

kind of took that to the back page, didn't it?

[HuffleClaw]

28. and now he's 'linked' to it ?

"The State Department investigation of improper computer access to passport records of three presidential candidates is focusing on one remaining employee — a contract worker with a company headed by an adviser to the presidential campaign of Sen. Barack Obama."

http://www.washingtontimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080322/NATION/243762495/1001


I'd call this a smear piece though. personally i think all the 'breaches' WERE just simple curiosity on the part of employees for major political figures. one of the stories mentioned similar peeking at the records of hollywood stars. i doubt ANY of the campaigns of any of the candidates would be so ham-handed to do something they knew would be noticed.

[polmaven]

29. I agree.

I have just watched about 4 hours of "Ballot Bowl" on CNN, and that and "the endorsement",....oh, and, of course...Bill "McCarthy" Clinton were the stories. Neither the picture of Rev. Wright at the White House, nor "typical white person" were even mentioned.
