When does a convicted phone-jammer go out of the business of selling teleservices?
In the case of Allen Raymond’s GOPMarketplace, the shades were pulled down in February 2003, after federal prosecutors declared their intent to start looking into the phone-jamming scandal.
Talk about funny ha-ha, though, John Ashcroft’s Justice Department took its own sweet time about asking actual questions, so all the culprits had a plenty of time to clean up their mess and acquire foggy memories. According to Chuck McGee’s sworn testimony, the FBI finally got around to interviewing him more than a year after the phone-jamming took place.
Now Hilary Sargent and the sleuths at Senate Majority have discovered something the prosecutors never seemed to notice. Allen Raymond shut down GOPMarketplace in February, 2003…but he opened its virtual twin in March, 2003. “Telus, LLC” has the same mailing address, same personnel, same text on the website…
I’d be curious to see its client list, wouldn’t you?
