My reply above and the WBAL story itself (especially his no-comment responses to reporters) point to O'Doherty as a player in this. But we (FR readers) don't know his part, or (if someone used his email without his knowledge) even if he is directly implicated.

"..(if someone used his email without his knowledge).."

Why would anyone do that? Steffen was a GOP operative that they wanted to get. I don't see any possible advantage to "frame" O'Doherty, though I would not be surprised if he claimed that.

The use of the first mail drop shows an intent to hide his identity. The use of the regular email was most likely laziness or possibly because he forgot the password to the maildrop or, more stupidly, used the FR password for the mail drop and wanted to delete it.

Yes..I was just wondering if this info helps tighten the noose in any way.

Since none of the MSM are interested (it doesn't fit their profile), and law enforcement isn't interested, it's beginning to look like this character is going to skate.
