According to
Democratic senators
said cool to pushing inquiry into disgraced reporter, the dirt
dug up by the
Kossacks
and
americablog
turned Senate Democrats
away from pushing the White House on
the story:
Democratic senators have cooled to an inquiry into the
disgraced reporter with ties to prostitution who may have been
given classified information relating to CIA agent, RAW STORY has
learned.
Part of the reason, Senate aides say, was the revelation that the
reporter who wrote under the pseudonym Jeff Gannon had in fact
sought to prostitute himself online. Democratic senators seem more
reticent above delving into a scandal colored by sexual
allegations.
One senator, Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ), may still join the push by
Democratic members in the House who are calling for all records
relating to how the conservative reporter got such apparent
high-level access to the White House, the president and information
relating to the outing of CIA agent Valerie Plame.
It figures it'd be Lautenberg, since he seems to have no scruples,
or morality, for that matter.
