Not that I’m saying that IS what happened, it just reminds me of the CBS memo setup that Rove used to break Dan Rather.

Smitty,

Your claim to have called Burris w/ the suggestion that you privately rebuked him for his actions is TOTALLY BELIED by the defense that you & RickJ have given him on 3 blogs on this matter since Burris posted his “The Rest of the Story.” Anyone who got on Dave about this in private wouldn’t be defending his actions in a public forum unless they were themselves hypocrites and liars.

My hunch is that the only conversation you’ve had w/ Burris privately is about how best to present this and play it in order to save his butt from being discredited and humiliated.

If you really were bothered by Burris’ manifest deception and intimidation, you wouldn’t be defending him on the blogs and by trying once more to shift the focus onto me.

Besides, a real friend could say, “Yes, my buddy lied and acted like a bully but I still care for him.”

But you can’t criticize Dave Burris w/o getting on his shit list and being excommunicated from his shrinking inner circle. That’s why you aren’t stepping up and saying publicly what he did.

I told you it was idiotic to think you could safely hitch your wagon to Dave Burris’ star. Now you should know why: Dave Burris has no star, only a flicker. There’s nothing to hitch onto. He is rapidly making himself into a has-been that never was.

What an awful spin job. Burris CLEARLY led Matthews to believe that there was an ongoing FBI investigation and the only question was IF they would subpoena him. The implication was NOT if there was an investigation.

Nice try, asshat.

All smoke and distraction. Did Dave Burris DECEIVE Mike Matthews into thinking that there was an ongoing FBI investigation or not?

Did Bill Lee deceive the WDEL audience when he denied knowing anything about this matter or not?

Stop shifting the focus like you always do.

Answer the questions.

Did he say somewhere that there was an investigation in progress, or is this another Dana Garrett alternate reality creation?

Looked to me like he said if there was a subpoena, it would come from that direction. ‘If’ being the key word.

Funny, the old Dana Garrett would have latched on to the perpetrator trying to intimidate a candidate and railed against him until the cows came home.

The new Garrett is blind to anything but Burris.

I know it must kill you that I do in fact have discussions with your nemesis over the phone or email, but I do. I don’t need to flog him in the public eye, nor do I desire to.

You? This is your level of a playing field, so here it plays out. Also, the thought of calling or emailing you nauseates me. Your now obvious need to document E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G has convinced me that nothing is private with you.

So, if you ever wonder why you are defended against unevenly (here and not off-line), now you know. There’s no point as there is no off-line with you. I don’t trust you with seemingly private communications.

LOL. How predictable.

Maybe the envelope was pink……..

How do we even know that one Lee’s relatives got this? We only have Burris word on it–the word of someone who said a FBI investigation was going on when apparently it wasn’t?

Why should anyone take his word for it now or for anything for that matter?

When Burris said to Mike that an FBI investigation is going on when it wasn’t, did he lie?
