If so, then Jeff Gannon was just involved in an escort service that may or may not have ties to Republicans in general. We do know he had some kind of ties to the White House, however. How else did he get credentials?

And if you saw Bush call on him at one of his press conference, Georgie sure has a twinkle in his eye I’ve never seen before. I need to dig up that video for laughs.

“and slowly winds its way right through the Shrubhouse.The only thing the GOP is good at is keeping secrets and hiding behind closed doors”

closet doors no doubt.

I’ve been following the Jeff Gannon story and it’s potential tie to kidnapped newspaper boy Johnny Gosch and Nebraska GOP operative Lawrence King for years now.

I don’t know if this has strong ties to those stories but I do have (and haven’t posted yet) an insider who gave me a brief glance into a university where Ralph Reed wannabes are gay sexual predators basically controlling the campus.

We’ll see. It’s not a coincidence that these stories die before fully investigated. They must be linked to people with a lot of clout.

I have no idea if there’s any link between Gillmor and the others. It’s just that the circumstances (and, in retrospect, the timing) of his death are odd. A 60 something healthy, alert and active male…blunt head trauma…fall down the stairs (could he have been pushed?).

And from the link, a seasoned investigator…working on a major case…2 months before his daughter’s wedding…commits suicide by cutting his arm in the antecubital fossa (I’m not a forensic pathologist, but that just sounds off to me).

I certainly have no faith in this statement.

Police have assessed the scene and found no evidence of foul play. The medical examiner’s investigation will be finalized once chemical and ancillary tests are complete, Caldwell said.

If it Gillmor’s death does turn out to be suspicious and if there is a tie to Yang or Feeney or McHenry, this wouldn’t join a list of deaths associated with the software company and their political buddies.

Check out this one.

Obviously, from my post, I have no primary sources on a McHenry disinformation campaign. I may be totally wrong that McHenry’s people are behind the comments. But why would anyone else bother? But that’s how it looks to me and that’s why I posted Kruezer’s comments about the situation. IT’s not the first time I’ve had people come around to a blog I wrote for and pretend to be different people and write a bunch of stuff that looks suspicious and insincere.

I have twice now quoted Kruezer. Both times because I have thought similar things on my own or have off-the-record sources saying similar things and he’s the only one on the record. You’ll notice the emphasis of my posts on him are of his analysis of the situation, not his facts. That’s something no one seems to get. The bottom line is that the police have spoken strangely about this case (prematurely and unprofessionally) and that the traditional media is suspiciously silent.

Of course this Damon Kruezer blogger could be a liar. Anyone can be a liar. But referring to him as a gay porn blogger certainly gives a good idea to my readers to take what he says as the words of someone who writes about gay porn videos. Do I really need to say more? It’s not an industry with the reputable reputation, you know.

And I think “hellbent on tying Jason to McHenry” mischaracterizes the facts. I’m have only tied Jason to Mchenry through two sources. (I originally tied McHenry to Gonzalez, not Drake, from off-the-record sources.) A few days after I posted that Gonzalez and McHenry were colleagues, the North Carolina Conservative tied McHenry to Jason Drake. I posted on the NCC’s post and that got linked nationally. When Howie Klein said they’d been lovers and linked to my post, I then wrote on his blog that he should not use me as a source for a sexual or social relationship. My information from NCC was that he was a political colleague in smaller races in the 10th.

Then, Howie Klein reported that he called McHenry’s office where spokesman Aaron Latham admitted at least that they knew Jason. They didn’t mention social versus professional but all of my information has been that Jason did work for candidates McHenry wanted to get elected in NC’s 10th.

So perhaps my sources are lying. You can never completely trust any source, particularly people off the record. Perhaps the NCC is being lied to as well. I don’t know his sources. Perhaps they’re the same as mine! Who knows? But then you have to add in that Howie Klein is lying, too. The three of us may not be perfect in every way but none of us, that I know of, have a history of lying for any reason, or sensationalizing anything for personal profit. And you can be sure we will do our best to follow up on this information but also on the many other pieces of information we have been getting.

What kind of ties did Jenn say Jason had to Rutherford county? Cause if it was anything more than that his Grandfather was born and raised there, then it would be false. But then again Jenn only knew Jason for a very short time, they met in the military, they were young, and had a short lived marriage. Jason joined the Corps and Left the Corps after three years and some months, both as a single man. That said, She is a better source of information for that time period than I, as I can only tell you what Jason told me.

I have known Jason considerably longer. Before and after the Corps. And believe me there are very few people in the world that want to figure out what happened that night more than I do. I don’t mean to thwart your investigation. I was trying to help. It seems to me that you are hell bent on tying Jason to McHenry. I don’t want to call anyone a liar, I don’t know who Howie Klein is, but WHEN exactly did Jason work in NC as they claim? What did he do for McHenery? What address did he live at?
Because if the time frame wasn’t when he was in the military, then I am sure that information strand is in error.

I have much more to say, and share. But I am waiting to see what the Sheriff is going to say first. That’s when the case will be closed, that’s when ALL the evidence will be released. And that’s when I will come forward, either way, if the facts as I see them add up or not. You see I have told the detective everything I know, but I know he told me only things he thought I should know. Some of the details in what I THINK happened, are hurtful to people still living, and to the memories of those no longer with us. So I wait for the official story. Let them say it. But if they don’t, I will.
And by the way, if the truth turns out to be even remotely to what I expect, there will still be lots of juicy tidbits for you to latch on to.

So Please, keep poking around for a connection to something other than what the official story out so far has been. I have. And will continue to do so. You see as well as I thought I knew Jason, I did not see this coming. The shock and sadness is overwhelming.

I leave you with a tidbit that may bear better fruit than the NC connection. Before he decided to become a grunt and float to KOSOVO, he was stationed at 8th & I.

I have to go now, it is time to make the doughnuts!!

“Everyone just stop! I am sorry you all have to wait to learn what happened. But wait you will have to.
There IS an ongoing investigation. The facts WILL be released when the case is offically closed. Which will be when the FDLE is done with balistics and toxicology.
EXACTLY Because it is NOT some twisted, political, evil republican, gay mofia, Bourne-like incident; IS the reason it is at the bottom of the to do pile at the crime lab. It is a simple answere.
The truth however is sadder, and much less spectacular than all your useless guessing.
But it will be known.

I guess he could be local law enforcement just trying to educate us about an ongoing investigation. But do you really think your average detective would give a rat’s a** about what bloggers think? Come to think of it…..I do smell a rat.

Hi. I’ve been reading all the blogs, and I wanted to correct something you said. Jason was not born in NC. He was not from NC….he has family ties to the state, but not actually FROM there.

I emailed her back, asking for her to let me know if anything else is inaccurate. This was her reply:

Yes, I am in in fact his exwife. Let me look it over again, and I’ll let you know. Thank you.

I know he did a horrible thing, but I am just trying my hardest to make sure the facts that I am reading are correct. I feel like it’s the least I can do. Thanks again.

She hasn’t gotten back to me or confirmed any ties to the Pennsylvania murder or an escort service or the gay porn industry.

However, McHenry’s office has confirmed the tie with Drake to Howie Klein, so unless Klein is a blatant liar, dunkin is looking an awful lot like someone who has some reason to comment here other than a deep concern for accuracy.
And if Drake’s tie to McHenry is nonpolitical and only personal (say, through Ralph Gonzalez in Florida at, for example, Spence’s engagement party), then why would McHenry’s office know all about it?

See, dunkin, why I’m having a hard time taking you seriously.

Jason never voted in his life. He had nothing to do with politics…EVER. He did not live or work in western North Carolina, or in any part of North Carolina, period.

Jason was a laborer working in the tile floor industry in the Orlando FL area.

These are facts, not speculation.

I wish I had known about all these linkages then. I would have risked being struck down by His wrath and going into a church just to have the opportunity to ask ol’P.McH about his dear departed friend and what he thinks it was all about.

I’ll keep my ear to the ground for the next opportunity. Unless (finger’s crossed) this gets bumped upstairs and goes to the majors.

This thing gets stranger with every post.

Once the Craig scandal blows over (no pun intended) this story may get more attention. And why shouldn’t it?

I know that it takes a lot to shock Republicans nowadays. They’ve raised the bar for scandals. I mean, no one bats an eye any more about Gay Sex (Craig et al), Porn Stars (Jeff Gannon), and Extortionists (do I really need to list these guys?). I’m not sure about associations with Murderers – seems like there was something in the Abramoff scandal about that.

But to have all of this in one story – Murderous Republican Gay Porn Star Extortionist – along with associations to McHenry, Abramoff, and Republican Leadership……..

All you have to do is find a connection to some pages and your story will look like it’s been pieced together from last year’s newspaper headlines.

It will be interesting to see what else you’re able to uncover. Your diligence and research prowess are impressive. Keep digging!
