Scott Applewhite) More EDGARTOWN, Mass. (AP) — House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi warned fellow Democrats on Saturday to change their cellphone numbers and not let family members read their text messages after personal and official information of Democratic House members and congressional staff was posted online.
Pelosi told Democratic lawmakers that the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and other Democratic Party entities were the target of "an electronic Watergate break-in."
As a result, a mix of personal and official information of Democratic members and hundreds of congressional staff, purportedly from a hack of the DCCC, was posted online, Pelosi said.
Pelosi said she was flying from Florida to California when she heard about the posting of information such as cell phone numbers
"Upon landing, I have received scores of mostly obscene and sick calls, voicemails and text messages," Pelosi said in her letter to colleagues. "Please be careful not to allow your children or family members to answer your phone or read incoming text messages. This morning, I am changing my phone number and I advise you to do so as well. "

Some good news for a change. A feel good story to make me smile big.
LOL!
That is a great pic!
“an electronic Watergate break-in.”
Really? I wonder whose name was in the little black book they were looking for, listing high priced call girls.
(see John Dean’s girlfriend/wife, IIRC)

Some rain, but no flooding in Jacksonville.
Stay safe, sweetie!
Thanks! Very comprehensive.
The whole “Watergate Scandal & Traveling Road Show” has been payback to Nixon for his work on the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC).
Nixon should have handled the aftermath better, but no one was molested in the White House, ended up dead in Ft. Marcy Park (or on a fog shrouded Croatian mountaintop), made $100+ million through payoffs/bribes funneled through “speaking fees”, drowned in an Oldsmobile, etc.
G. Gordon Liddy was certainly convinced that Colodny and Gettlin had uncovered the truth, and that with his silence he (Liddy) had been unknowingly protecting Dean rather than Nixon.
I used to really enjoy listening to Liddy on the radio. He & Barry Farber were the two most intelligent commentators around.
Thanks for the link to “The Silent Coup”.
