TPM makes contact with Curtis Morrison, the ‘second activist’ in the Kentucky recording scandal. When asked by text about reports that colleague Shawn Reilly had provided the FBI with evidence to help “locate” him, Morrison replied “I have no statement, but thx for head’s up.”
So what we knew (or thought we knew) a short time ago is that two guys from Progress Kentucky were responsible for making the McConnell recording. But now those two guys are apparently turning on each other. Or at least Shawn Reilly (guy #1) is throwing Curtis Morrison (guy #2) under the bus.
Strong tradecraft. Real pros.
President Obama dined with Republicans at the White House, giving cable hosts an opportunity to cook up some tasty food puns.
The county Democratic Party official in Kentucky who claims to know who recorded the Mitch McConnell campaign strategy session told TPM a few moments ago that he’s on his way to talk to the FBI at their Louisville office.
Meanwhile, the treasurer of the group the Dem official implicated has resigned.
Fresh off last week’s boffo gay bashing run, Michigan Republican National Committeeman is back calling homosexuality a gateway sin.
Global idiot community hit hard by collapse of ‘Bitcoin’ internet currency.
Wonder if Greg Walden realized that when he called President Obama’s budget a “shocking attack on seniors” for including Chained CPI he was implicating nearly half of all House Republicans, including four of his NRCC deputies.
The account of how the Mitch McConnell strategy session allegedly came to be recorded by progressive activists offered by a local Dem is pretty comical: two local progressive activists could hear the strategy session from a hallway outside the room where it was being held, at McConnell campaign headquarters, and simply recorded it.
So far, the two guys who reportedly did the recording aren’t talking so take this all with a grain of salt. The account comes from a low-level Democratic Party county official named Jacob Conway who tells the NPR station that Shawn Reilly and Curtis Morrison bragged to him after the fact about having done it. (Conway also talked to Fox News a short time ago.) Reilly is a founder of Progress Kentucky and Morrison is involved in the group, too, WFPL reports.
