The evidence that NCPAC will need to file his expected libel suit against certain parties is accumulating qute nicely...

I don't think libel is the relevant issue. It looks more like a possible criminal violation of the Electronic Communications Privacy Act.

There seems to be an general lack of comprehension about that point in these discussions.

Good eye. You are right.

I've got some very interesting information for the governor's investigation regarding the Maryland Democrat Party dirty trickster that setup Steffen and the Washington Post reporter er, Democrat operative that was working in concert with him. Almost hoping to receive a subpoena.

An investigation would reveal who MD4Bush was and if there was any connection to the Maryland Democrat Party. If there was any connection, it would blow up in their faces nicely.

What would be the violation of the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA)?

I initially thought that NCPAC had been the victim of a keystroke logger device, spyware, or similar and, thus, the law had been violated.

Now it appears that MD4Bush gave copies of the FReepmails to the WaPo either directly or, more likely, through a cutout. How would that violate ECPA? Can't you legally show copies of emails/FReepmails to others?
