More on NH Phone Jamming Records
This is one of the stories that I've been following over the past year and change (as have others) (AP quote):MANCHESTER, N.H. - A judge gave state Democrats the go-ahead Thursday to question high-ranking Republicans in a civil suit over the jamming of Democrats' phones on Election Day 2002. Three former GOP officials have already been sentenced in the phone jamming scheme. In the civil suit, state Democrats want to know who knew about the plan. They point to a record of phone calls that show national GOP official James Tobin, one of those convicted, made two dozen calls to the White House within a three-day period as the phone jamming operation was finalized, carried out and then abruptly shut down...
Democrats want to question the former associate director of the White House Political Affairs Office, Alicia Davis, and to see her phone records and those of her then-boss, Ken Mehlman, now RNC chairman. Also on their list: Edward Gillespie, who was RNC chairman when the decision was made to pay Tobin's legal expenses; Terry Nelson, former executive director of political operations for the RNC and now a political strategist for Sen. John McCain (news, bio, voting record); and Chris LaCivita, former national political director for the National Republican Senatorial Committee who went on to develop the Swift Boat veterans TV campaign against Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry (News News Photos Images Web) in 2004.
