According to several published reports Gary Condit basically refused to get into the nature or details of his relationship with Chandra Levy in his second sit-down with the police over the weekend — and police didn’t press him on it. In fairness to Condit, it’s worth pointing out (as the Daily News does today) that if he did admit to an affair in a meeting with police it would almost certainly be leaked to the press and appear the next day in the Daily News, New York Post, and Washington Post. So there is certainly a reason beside covering up other bad acts for Condit not to come clean to the DC police on the nature of his relationship with Levy.
That said, it’s a little difficult to see how Condit could really have told the police much of anything or been at all forthcoming if he refused to get into his relationship with Levy since that is the whole point of talking to him in the first place.
The New York Post says police aren’t satisfied that Condit told him everything he knows and are planning what the paper calls “further investigation into his activities.” They also want to interview Condit’s wife Carolyn.
It’s again worth noting that the police continue to say Condit is not a suspect in Levy’s disappearance. But of course they also say they have no reason to believe a crime has occurred. So take that for what it’s worth.
Next up, Talking Points responds to Bull Moose’s recent comments about Joe Lieberman, “a Democratic national greatness agenda,” and campaign 2004. Unless of course we’re preempted by more shocking developments on the Condit-Levy front.
