Then why did Philip have his gun, then? Getting information from Jim Webb is like pulling teeth.

[cripplecreek]

One thing is clear. Webb’s loyalty to a friend extends only so far. After that it’s under the bus.

[Para-Ord.45]

Webb`s a democrat. They get away with it most of the time unless you`re brazen and have a freezer full of cash.

Webb broke the law.

[Cicero]

Shame on the people of Virginia for electing this turkey.

Webb says gun that aide had was his

What a loser. He should have admitted it on Day One instead of dicking over his friend.

I don’t think anyone broke the law and so it’s best for everyone to dummy-up, including Webb.

I’m really more interested in seeing DC lose its case than the incidental issue that its about a Democrat and his aide.

It will be interesting to see how DC prosecutes for gun transport on 2 miles of DC streets, without any witnesses or proof that this actually happened.

All anyone knows with any certainty is that the aide was transporting a firearm on Senate property, which is legal under the rules of the Senate.

Which is why its important for all involved to keep their mouths shut.

"And I hope you'll understand that in matters of self-defense up here, it doesn't do anybody's safety a lot of good by talking about this stuff. We're pretty vulnerable up here."

Why would they need self defense ? I thought guns were outlawed in DC ????

[cryptical]

We're pretty vulnerable up here.

If only every politician were to think that before they cast a vote...

[VeniVidiVici]

So the Democrats and MSM are letting this scumbag escape scot-free.

Just so freaking predictable.

[Oztrich Boy]

Webb didn't give or ask the aide to do anything with the gun. He had him carry the briefcase. The aide was an uneitting mule.

[zerosix]

"Webb previously had refused to say whether the gun was his, although his senior aide--Phillip Thompson--had told police the weapon belonged to the Democratic senator."

One thing that we can state as an absolute certainty, when the going get's tough, Webb resorts to lies and half-truths.

When will voters learn, dimocRATS lie, distort, and then shift the blame when they are caught red handed?

Republicans are subject to the same temptations, yet their voters hold their lies and distortions against them and toss them overboard - dimocRAT voters NEVER, EVER DO!

Translation:

“I always let a lackey carry my guns in DC. That way, they take the fall for violating DC law, if they’re nabbed. I’m too important to be slowed down by minor legal hassles, so it all works out for the best.”
