Maybe now the media will report?? Naaah....(sm)

Democratic progressive organization bugged McConnell's office - punishable by 5 years in prison. Maybe now the media will report it as a crime, and not just worry about what they ILLEGALLY heard about Ashley Judd's depression (by her own admission, BTW).

they secretly taped McConnell's private office session.

WFPL-Louisville reports:

Jacob Conway, who is on the executive committee of the Jefferson County Democratic Party, says that day, Shawn Reilly and Curtis Morrison, who founded and volunteered for Progress Kentucky, respectively, bragged to him about how they recorded the meeting.

Conway says neither the local nor the state Democratic party had any part in the incident.[...]

On Feb. 2, McConnell opened his campaign headquarters in the Watterson Office Park in Louisville and invited trusted GOP activists and select media outlets to an open house. The event lasted roughly two hours. Afterward, McConnell and several campaign advisors held a strategy session in an office meeting room.

Morrison and Reilly did not attend the open house, but they told Conway they arrived later and were able to hear the meeting from the hallway. [...]

“Apparently the gentlemen overheard the conversation and decided to record it with a phone or recording device they had in their pocket. Could’ve been an iPhone, could’ve been a Flip camera or something like that,” Conway.

The Kentucky-based liberal group Progress Kentucky is no stranger to controversy for its unremitting attacks on Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. Having already been responsible for the racist attack on McConnell’s wife, former Labor Secretary Elaine Chao, the group allegedly has decided to try a new tack: Using private statements by McConnell and/or his aides to generate controversy.

McConnell had previously pointed a finger at Progress Kentucky as the organization responsible for the “bug,” but had backed off prior to this announcement. Now, it seems McConnell’s original suspicion may have been right.

Morrison and Reilly have not themselves spoken to the media on the subject of this bit of eavesdropping. Conway, however, has made a point of clarifying what happened both to WFPL and Fox News, so as to maintain plausible deniability on the part of the Kentucky Democratic party. His Fox segment can be viewed at this link.

McConnell campaign manager Jesse Benton isn’t convinced. “They certainly weren’t authorized to be there,” he explained to Megyn Kelly on Fox. “I think what’s even more disturbing are the tactics that the Left is prepared to resort to.”

Funny thing is that Progressive Kentucky is a DEMOCRATIC organization - and they don't think they did anything wrong

[ In Reply To ..]
who woulda guessed they didn't think they did anything wrong and that they were a democratic organization? Especially since they were pushing Ashley for election and defaming Mitch McConnell's wife the other week.

I certainly hope these guys get more than a slap on the wrist or else 2014 and then 2016 will just evolve into worse antics, lies, defamation, slander and whatnot than we've seen in the past 13 years.

well... looks like mitch might be in a little hot - water himself now!

Interesting how he called the tape nixionian when HIS intent was to dig up dirt on the opponent. Now **that** is a better example of nixonion.

But looks like he may be under investigation for misusing official staff for campaign purposes.

Oh... and there probably will be no problem with the legality of the tape because it wasn't recorded in the same room. It was recorded in the hall, where voices were easily overheard (no expectation of privacy).

Where did you hear that fairy tale? MSNBC Commie News? - LOL

Sure is funny that this is coming out now by CREW - Truthhurts

[ In Reply To ..]
I though it was strange that these accusations didn't come out prior to McConnell's office bugging. CREW is just trying to get back at McConnell because McConnell blew the whistle on CREW's buddies, Progress Kentucky.

Why do I say that? Because I checked into CREW and most of their staff are Democrats and/or liberal members. Some worked for Democratic Congressmen, one was formerly with Center for American Progress., one with the ACLU...need I go on?

Also, CREW is funded in part by individuals who are members of the Democracy Alliance.

Democracy Alliance was founded by former Clinton Treasury official Rob Stein, Erica Payne and various donors in 2005. The Muckety website maintains a
relationship map on some of the major financial donors to the Democracy
Alliance.

So this group is jumping into the fray as a way to try to "get back at" a Republican for blowing the whistle on Progress KY.

Well, their focus IS ethic, so it makes sense they're - Democrats

[ In Reply To ..]
No matter who they allegedly trying to "get back at," it is illegal to use paid staff for campaign purposes. That is a huge no-no.

And taping will be of no consequence regarding legal repercussions. Even if it is, Mitch's dirty little nixonian tactics are out of the bag.

Come on - you really think that the lefty hypocrites - Will every man up

Proven over and over again that the Libs want 2 different standards for truth - theirs and what the actual truth is. No honor among any of the Lib thieves (and liars).

Wait - NK

Does that mean that Jacob Conway, a Democrat and therefore a thief and a liar by your wide-sweeping characterization, was lying about them telling him they did it?

If you look at the time of the last 2 posts, the one you're - replying to was posted prior to

the one with the story.

Thank you - NK

so much for explaining that to me. I'm sure her/his post will be edited to reflect the fact that there is one Democrat/"lib" who is not a thief and a liar.
