How to Get Threats of Being Subpoenaed by GOP Bullies in Delaware (SEE UPDATES)
Read about it here. Also read this. Be prepared for severe bellylaughter.
IMPORTANT UPDATE
In an e-mail sent to Mike Mattews at DownWithAbsolutes, Dave Burris alleged that the so-called subpoena will come from the FBI and the US Attorney:
From: Dave Burris (address withheld)
Date: Mon, May 12, 2008 at 1:22 PM
Subject: Re: Photo
To: Mike Matthews <downwithabsolutes@gmail.com>
The subpoena's not coming from the GOP. If it comes, it'll be from the FBI and the US Attorney.
UPDATE 2
Complete e-mail exchange between Burris & Matthews here.
UPDATE 3
Dave Burris promises to tell all on Thursday. I assume that means he will finger the suspect the FBI & the US Attorney are investigating and why. He made the promise on DelawareLiberal:
What will he reveal?
From reading the e-mails, it seems Burris was just dying to blab about this alleged investigation. [Why would Burris tell anyone about a criminal investigation and then later give Mike permission to publish the e-mails ("Print the emails if you want, Mike" comment #26).] This is what he has told us effectively:
- The FBI & US Attorney's offices are involved.
- That whoever gave Matthews the photograph also used it in some fashion that is criminal ("the chances are that whoever sent you that picture also was involved in the other thing, which was a crime")
- He also said that the matter wasn't political but "personal." ("This isn't politics. This is personal.")
- Hmmmm...? What does that mean? Is Burris also a victim of Federal criminal photograph abuse along with Lee? Or is getting this felon of photograph abuse more than just a political matter for Burris? His feelings of bringing this monster of iniquity to justice are personal now?
If I'm in the ballpark here, who would want to use a photo of the Delaware GOP's endorsed candidate for Governor, retired Judge William Swain Lee, in a way that is potentially criminal? Or who would be the person that some people would like to convince the FBI and US Attorney's office that would use Bill Lee's photograph in some criminal manner.
Whoever it is, Lee apparently knows nothing about it. According to Mike Matthews, he asked Lee today on the WDEL Rick Jensen's show if he knew of such an investigation and Lee, according to Mike, said he didn't.
One last question to consider. If there really is an FBI an ongoing investigation, how does Burris know he is free to discuss it on Thursday? Has the FBI told him that they will have apprehended their suspect by then? If so, is that usual procedure: to tell people knowledgeable of and/or cooperating in an investigation when they plan to make their arrests? Or has some news media found out about the investigation and Burris knows they plan to publicize it on Thursday or Friday? If so, who would be so uncouth as to blab to the news media about an ongoing FBI investigation?
