US captive soldier in Afghanistan exchanged for 5 Guantanamo detainees

Barfo,

Merkley's minions accessed the records. They looked to see if there was any likely other source, like the Oregonian.

What on earth makes you think they'd bury other searches?

So, what you are writing is pulled straight from your ass. Or find a smoking gun saying ANYONE at all other than Merkley's guy accessed the record before she was smeared with the info.

My interest in this is the dirty tricks and how the operatives work.

I think we now have $17T+ reasons to vote for anyone else but those in office now. They're dangerous.

 

Now look up who argued it wasn't a big deal.

 

Maureen Dowd said it was no big deal. Eleanor Clift, too. Greta Van Susteren (she was with CNN in those days). And so on.

From what I've seen, she called the one guy a few times over a 5 day period. That is not stalking. The 5 days is kinda short to make it some sort of obsessive behavior.

 

Both people in these relationships were uber wealthy. They may call the cops a lot for all we know. Or they made a lot of noise and someone else called the cops. The police report is online, I read it. It's incredibly tame.

Yeah, I do think that given a few weeks to ponder what he did during those 5 days, he came to believe he overreacted. That's what he said.

 

Here's the police report. Have at it.

My bad, I said it was 5 days, it was 5 times over 10 days that she attempted to talk to the guy.

 

Technically, incorrect (as usual). It was a minion of the democrat party of oregon, which while obviously on the same team as Merkley, does not actually work directly for Merkley.

They, the Oregonian, looked to see if the Oregonian was a likely source? Does that make sense to you?

For someone who believes in conspiracy theories as much as you, you are awfully eager to believe whatever anyone says on this topic.
For the record, I don't believe they'd bury other searches. But I do believe if they saw a name on the list that they couldn't quickly identify, they'd just move on and get the story published.

If someone publishes it, and I see it, I will be sure to let you know.

I don't think publicizing public records really amounts to 'dirty tricks'.

Miller, who has since been a prominent supporter of Wehby's U.S. Senate campaign, told Politico that he never sought the order and regrets calling the police. Wehby, in a statement to Politico, said there "really wasn't much" to the report of consequence and that she was sorry it was reported.

 

Ooooohhh.. technically incorrect. The guy is a former Merkley campaign aid.

Plausible deniability. Technically incorrect. Too funny.

It was Politico that first published the story. They didn't do a records search. The Oregonian published this story: http://www.oregonlive.com/mapes/index.ssf/2014/05/monica_wehby_accused_of_stalki.html

You'll be sure to make up stuff as if it were plausible. Maybe aliens read Miller's mind and planted the idea in her republican opponent's head via telepathy. That sort of thing is as likely as what you are suggesting happened.

Waiting a month for what they deem an opportune time to smear the opponent is a dirty trick.

Next?

An employee of the Democratic Party of Oregon was the first person to request the April 2013 police report of timber baron Andrew Miller accusing Republican Senate candidate Monica Wehby of "stalking" him after a break-up.

Jon Friedman, who listed a Northeast Portland address, requested the report from Portland police on April 17, 2014, documents obtained by The Oregonian through a public records request show. Friedman did not immediately return a message seeking comment Monday.

Friedman works as a research assistant for the Democratic Party of Oregon, said Jamal Raad, party spokesman. Raad declined to comment further.

Raad previously worked as a spokesman for Democratic Sen. Jeff Merkley, who is seeking re-election to a second term.

(but they never talk!)

 

He could have backed any other republican.

Andrew Miller on Friday said that he regrets calling 911 a year ago to accuse Republican Senate candidate Monica Wehby, his ex-girlfriend, of stalking him and harassing his employees.

"It's a personal matter," he said Friday. "It probably wasn't one of my better days in life way back when. I didn't really want to spend a lot of time reflecting on it."

He likened the situation to the adage of not acting when angry.

"They always say, 'Don't send an angry email until after you let it sit for 24 hours,'" Miller said. "I think sometimes we are prone to act in the moment, and later when you think about it, I kind of wish we could do a do-over on that one."

Miller said he remains friends with Wehby.

"I talk to her from time to time," he said. "I have no hard feelings or animosity towards her whatsoever. I voted for her. I wish her well, and I hope she succeeds."

 

Denny Crane is a right-wing Republican.

Oh, was that technically incorrect? Doesn't matter! One doesn't need to be accurate here. Truthiness is good enough.

So there is a rule in Denny-land that you must release any and all information you have as soon as you have it?

The last couple paragraphs of this article are great.

Len Bergstein, a veteran Portland political and public relations consultant, said the information certainly seemed to be the result of a leak designed to cause political damage to Wehby.

He said he doubted it would have a major impact on the outcome of the primary, but he said it could well damage her in a fall race against Merkley. He said it hurts her campaign's effort to create a "carefully constructed picture" of the pediatric neurosurgeon, who is a newcomer to politics.
