Yeah well I am seeking records from the New York Times and the Washington Post.
Has Charles Schumer pulled their credit reports yet?
I would tell them to get it themselves. I sure wouldn't do their homework for them but what else would one expect from the 'I can do nothing for myself' crowd?
Bush DUI. Schwarzenneger groping women. Going through Bork's trash. Yes it is standard operating procedure.
But can we have a record of who has HIV for public health reasons ? NOOOOOO.
HAHA..wait until we are possession of Rockefeller/Durbin's arrest records for the NSA leak!!
Who is Shauna Daly??
I'm not finding anything on Google
The party is asking for records as far back as 1947, the year Romney was born.
Romney is DOOMED!
His Elementary school 'permanent record' has sealed his fate. Oh well, that what he gets for shooting that rubber band at Sally Johnson back in the 4th Grade.
Have they gone after his credit report like they did Michael Steele? Or do they assume only black Republicans have interesting credit reports?
And any records the DNC can't get legally they will either steal or forge.
If in a public office, I would not Email anything.
Mitt Romney is my wife's 2nd or 3rd cousin. (We've never met him) And I know a story about how his shoes were stolen once. Do you think the DNC will contact me to get the details about how irresponsible he was to let his shoes get stolen?
Obviously, we can't let someone that cavalier become president of the U.S.
Maybe even better they could do a story about Romney's low-life cousin's husband who got a D+ in high school algebra 42 years ago. Pity we never lived in a trailer though.
Daly landed a controversial position in the WH Legal Office. She has NO legal or paralegal experience, and was a fanatic muckraker for the Dems, gathering dirt on everyone.
But for democrats, they don't want to divulge records from yesterday. Outrageous!

Shauna Daly, a 29-year-old Democratic operative, was named last month to the new job of White House counsel research director. Though she is inside one of the most powerful legal offices in the land, Miss Daly holds no law degree and doesn’t list any legal training on her resume. Her sole experience has been as an opposition researcher for Democratic political campaigns: She helped dig up dirt on rivals, or on her own nominee to prepare for attacks.
The addition to White House counsel Greg Craig’s staff has alarmed some Republicans, who consider it a politicization of the office, and has irritated others who say that Democratic lawmakers who railed against Republican opposition researchers in legal positions in the past are now silent.
[...]
A number of conservative and liberal lawyers and operatives confirmed that it is unusual for someone with Miss Daly’s background to be working in the White House counsel’s office, though some Clinton-era lawyers said that administration had non-lawyers working in the office.
The White House insists Miss Daly’s work will be limited to legal research, like that of a paralegal, and won’t stray into political muckraking.
On the Obama campaign, Miss Daly specialized in preparing for political attacks against Mr. Obama. Thus, one scenario in which her skills would be useful to the White House would involve setting up a “murder board operation,” in which political nominees are subjected to simulated political attacks in order to prepare for the real thing.
Shauna Daly, ‘Partisan Dirt-Digger,’ Obama Paralegal

Dirt-Digging We Can Believe In

One of the more laughable notions during the campaign was Obama’s claim to represent some sort of “new politics”; one of the sillier fictions of the last several years was that Democrats were less prone to dirty tricks and bending the apparatus of government to narrow partisan interests than Republicans. But of course, in any election season there are people eager to lie to themselves and be lied to. Young voters in particular seemed especially, cloyingly eager to swallow this particular nonsense. Worse yet, people like David Brooks (see here and here and here), who in a sane world should have known better, talked themselves into ignoring the warning signs that were written all over Obama’s record and career that he’s never been anything but a front man for bareknuckles Chicago machine politics that runs on patronage, favor-trading and dirt and never, ever places any value above partisan entrenchment and the enrichment of its supporters.
The saga of Shauna Daly is yet another in a seemingly endless series of proofs of this over the first six weeks of united Democratic governance.
In late January, Daly was hired as “White House counsel research director”. Daly is 29 and has no experience relevant to the job, having worked for the DNC and a number of Democratic campaigns, including Obama’s:
Daly apparently got the job through the influence of a man who has made a career of flacking for the Daley machine and, apparently, masterminding leaks of divorce files that crippled Obama’s political opponents:
David Axelrod, a senior White House adviser to President Obama, had a hand in bringing Miss Daly to the campaign, and is thought to have been instrumental in bringing her to the White House.
A month later, she was back at the DNC:
Shauna Daly, 29, will be the DNC’s research director, returning to the fast-paced realm of bare-knuckles politics that associates said suits her best.
Given that the White House counsel’s office deals in privileged legal advice to the president, including on sensitive issues of national security, there are reasons to be concerned that Daly has used her brief tenure in the office for gathering information that was never supposed to be used for partisan purposes:
Daly did not waste her time in an office that had reams of Bush Administration documents related to such things as the firings of U.S. Attorneys, the use and internal debate over the USA PATRIOT Act, FISA, and the Scooter Libby and Karl Rove investigations, among others.
“She saw everything, and who knows what she was able to scan and pull out on data sticks,” says a Senate Republican Judiciary Committee staffer. “We’ll find out soon enough when we see what the DNC is putting out during [Sen. Patrick] Leahy’s ‘truth committee’ hearings.”

“She realized that she could do more with all the material she saw outside of the building than inside, where she’d be bound by the rules and legalities of the White House Counsel’s Office. Now she isn’t,” says a DNC staffer who works in the communications field. “She’s good at what she does; her time at the White House means we’ve got a mother load of material that will have Republicans scrambling. At least that’s what we hope.”

Quick Take:
You may have remembered that Ms. Daly had been placed by the Obama White House last month in its counsel office, despite the fact that she has no actual legal credentials. It was widely assumed - justifiably, in my opinion - that this was due to the fact that she’s quite the political sheet-sniffer, which was apparently what the administration thought that it needed right now.
Apparently the DNC needs her more:
A Democratic operative whose hiring a month ago by the White House legal office raised conservative hackles is leaving to go back to work at the Democratic National Committee.
Shauna Daly, 29, will be the DNC’s research director, returning to the fast-paced realm of bare-knuckles politics that associates said suits her best.
The White House has not decided whether to replace her, a spokesman said.

As the Washington Times reported on February 9, President Obama invented a new position into which he slipped one Shauna Daly. Daly has been what is called an “opposition researcher” for the Obama campaign for some time. It was her job to find an opponent’s worst dirt, his most troublesome secrets, so that strategy on how best to destroy him can be planned.
And now, Obama has invented a new job to reward dirty tricks squad member, Daly. The position of “White House counsel research director,” one that never existed before, is now attached to White House counsel Greg Craig’s office and this has caused some raised eyebrows in the legal community.
You see, unlike staffers of the White House counsel’s office appointed by other presidents, Miss Daly has no legal training. No schooling, no past work at law, no law degree. Her sole past work has been that of a political nature.
She is just a dirt digger. Nothing more.
This means, of course, that Obama has just politicized the White House counsel’s office. It is no longer one that chiefly concerns itself with the defining legal reasoning upholding presidential decisions, but one that will actively participate in political machinations. It has gone form advisory to participating in campaigns.
After unprecedented access to Bush Administration documents, dirty trickster Shauna Daly has left the White House Counsel’s office to go to work for the Democratic National Committee.
Daly, 29, had no legal experience when hired to work for White House Counsel Greg Craig, but she had earned a reputation as a dirt-digger against Republican candidates. She formerly worked for the DNC as a dirty trickster.
According to Democrats, Daly’s short stay in the White House gave her unprecedented access to all sorts of documents from the Bush Administration – documents that can be used against Bush officials by Sen. Patrick Leahy and by Rep. John Conyers – who has long sought to impeach Bush and staffers over our nation’s war on Islamic terrorism.
The American Spectator reports that Daly had documents related to the firings of U.S. Attorneys, the use of the Patriot Act, FISA, and the Scooter Libby and Karl Rove investigations.
According to a DNC staffer: “She realized that she could do more with all the material she saw outside of the building than inside, where she’d be bound by the rules and legalities of the White House Counsel’s Office. Now she isn’t. She’s good at what she does; her time at the White House means we’ve got a mother load of material that will have Republicans scrambling. At least that’s what we hope.”
