DHS Child Sex Sting Official Is A Democrat
Earlier today we listed some of the strong reaction to the arrest of Department of Homeland Security deputy press secretary Brian J. Doyle for attempting to arrange sexual relations with what he believed to be a 14-year-old female. Much of the reaction was critical of the Bush administration for not properly vetting one of their appointees. That assessment is dead wrong.
Brian Doyle is a career civil servant - NOT a political appointee. Government workers aren't "vetted." Doyle, as a DHS employee probably has a secret or top secret government clearance, but in DC that's hardly a unique commodity in DC. Unless there is some prior history of pedophilia or sex crimes, the background searches and investigation wouldn't have alerted anyone to the possibility that he might get into the kind of trouble he's in now. The kind of hindsight analysis suggesting that the White House should have been "vetting" the civil service employees of their agencies, is laughable considering that the Clinton administration who dogged for years over the FBI files scandal (Filegate). It's also probably illegal...
So what do we know about is Brian Doyle? He's a former Time magazine reporter, career civil servant, and a registered Democrat.
Paul Begala was on CNN crowing about this guy being a republican about three hours ago.
I bet someone sets him straight, and we never hear from him on this subject ever again.
...for the children.
Some were defending him on the first thread, insinuating that he might have been cleared confidential, and that his communications got spoofed. Who is calling for a top down security review? Nobody.
Former Time Magazine reporter. Interesting.
I knew that before reading it.
Not at all surprised.
Not as many. I am sure.
Welcome to IRC. Where men are men, where women are men, and where 14-year-old girls are FBI men.Amazing how true it still is.
News you won't find anywhere else. Thanks, PKM.
MSM made very deliberate attempt to infer that he was a Bush political appointee.
I'd already figured this out. Know how? Simple. The media swine never mentioned party affiliation.
After this news broke, I realized the next day that he had to be a democrat, for two reasons:
1. Because he worked for Time Magazine, but more importantly,
2. He dropped off the radar screen after about 12 hours. I haven't even heard this story at all on any media outlet today, nor was it in the on-line edition of my local paper.
As KeyLargo says, if he had been a registered Republican we would be hearing about it 24/7, with allusions to his "close connection" to the President.
Some of the leftwingers from BTP (Boston Tea Party) political chat speculated the other day that he was nominated by Preseident Bush. I looked it up and couldn't find anything
. . . but realistically what were the odds that it actually was a Republican??? Compared to the liklihood of his being a Democrat, slim.
A "FACT" that will ONLY be reported here or on other conservative websites. The MSM will HOWEVER emphasize his affiliation with THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION.......over and over and over again!!
OK, so what's the proper vetting process?
Hold up a picture of Eva Longoria and Lindsay Lohan (at age 14) and ask what's your pleasure??
LIKE YOUR SIGN....
A double whammy pervert:
1. A rat.
2. A former Time employee.
I read that but it sure is not on TV or in the printed press.
YES
