April 28, 2002 -- WASHINGTON - One year after the disappearance of Chandra Levy, Rep. Gary Condit remains an elusive witness in an ongoing grand jury probe of the case, The Post has learned.

Sources close to the investigation have revealed that Condit, whose relationship with Levy made him the central figure in a missing-person saga that transfixed the nation, has twice been subpoenaed to appear before a grand jury in D.C. - but has yet to tell his story under oath.

I wonder who Condit is blackmailing that they're letting him get away with this.

[aristeides]

FYI.

BTTT

If Condit, among other activities, frequented "special parties" thrown at a Saudi ambassadorial residence in or near, say, Langley, attended by various and sundry DC grandees of many stripes, well then, there could be any number of people (organizations?) blackmailed for any number of things.

Just a thought. Maybe the Horse Whisperer knows more.

That's funny(strange). Just this morning I was thinking about the Condidit grand jury and was wondering what was happening with it. I was actually thinking about emailing some newspaper and asking them the status (just to see if they would respond). LOL

[aristeides]

That Saudi ambassadorial residence wouldn't just happen to be across the street from Fort Marcy Park, would it? Come to think of it, weren't there stories that that park was a gay trysting place? Maybe Condit habituates it.

Thanks for the ping and I'll raise you one bump.

A candlelight vigil will be held in Washington DC and Modesto, CA on Wednesday evening - 8 pm in Modesto - 11th and I streets. Modesto FReepers will be in attendance to participate in the vigil for Chandra Levy.

A life suspended ....

Re #1, my thoughts exactly.

"Ft. Marcy Park - gay trysting place"

You are so right - in fact when Patrick Knowlton admitted he had stopped there on the way home to relieve himself and supposedly witnessed some strange goings on regarding the Vince Foster murder, it became an issue when he was called before Starr's committee. They insinuated he had stopped there for other reasons - that he was gay - which he's not! But ... the public became aware at that time that the park was a trysting place for gays.

[aristeides]

Where will the vigil be in D.C.?

[Plummz]

Yes, right along the parkway between marcy and langley, iirc. But I am under the impression that there are a number of Saudi "ambassadorial residences" in the area. I may be mistaken, but I think that is the case.

[The Great Satan]

Who does Condit think he is? Bill Clinton?

[Fred Mertz]

He spent less than an hour in the building and did not testify about the details of the case, according to lawyers close to the investigation.

What the heck is going on here....?

[John W]

"Neither the U.S. Attorney's Office nor Geragos would explain what happened, citing grand jury secrecy rules."

Didn't we find out during our long national nightmare that,except for direct testimoney,the folks involved can discuss GJ related items,such as why this pos is better than anyone else?

I read in The Post that Chandra's parents would hold a vigil at the Newport apartment building Wednesday to mark the one-year anniversary of her disappearance. I'm not sure of the time, but members of the D.C. Chapter will be there after work that evening. I'll post an announcement tomorrow night.

Leona Helmsley, Only the little people pay taxes answer subpoenas.

Rock Creek park is a gay trysting place. Before Chandra disappeared, Condit told a SF paper he kept a bicycle in his office so he could sneak out and go for a ride in Rock Creek park.

I don't have any information on the DC vigil, but as I read further in the thread, Kristinn is on top of it with his reply. Thanks Kristinn.

The Modesto Bee article by Bee Washington Bureau writer Michael Doyle, states that Robert and Susan Levy are currently involved in interviews with various media. LKL airs one on Tuesday and the current People mag has an article as well. The Levys will attend the DC vigil and possibly connect via phone to the vigil in Modesto on Wed. evening.

I sent an e-mail letter to the editor of the NY Post on Wed. suggesting that Niles Latham check with his sources as to why, if Condit was subpoenaed for testimony by the Grand Jury, he had not notified the Speaker of the House of said subpoena.

One of the Modesto Bee articles addresses that issue. Congress-critters only have to notify the Speaker if subpoena deals with Congressional matters. That would partly answer the question of notification, unless the original subpoena issued last Nov for "records" was also an all encompassing subpoena for records and testimony. Still no absolute answers though.

My congressman still remains elusive. The voters fired him in March, now the Speaker needs to authorize Bob Barr's original request for an ethics investigation as well as kick his a$$ off the intelligence committee and sub-committees.

It all goes back to your question in post #1.
