Watergate redux or phone-jamming redux?

February 27th, 2007 · No Comments

MiniElephant: Elephant, labeled "GOP Phone Jammer Follies", crushing telephone. Mysterious burglars just hit NH Democratic HQ.

“Some items” were taken, but nobody’s saying what. The burglars didn’t take donors’ credit card info. They didn’t hit other offices in the same building. Asked if the break-in seemed politically motivated, police refused comment.

Hmmm. Back in December, TPMMuckraker declared the phone-jamming mystery had ended, after a statement that the $15,000 of Abramoff money that “helped” to pay the $15,600 phone jamming tab were just passed along by staffers for Sen. Judd Gregg (R-NH)–but Gregg himself had no knowledge about the phone jamming.

Well, who ever cared if Judd Gregg knew about the phone jamming? What we cared about was if Abramoff knew about it…and why the Republican National Committee chose to spend millions of their donors’ dollars buying high-priced attorneys for James Tobin.

It will be interesting to find out what motivated this very recent “second-rate burglary.”
