Slaughter demands more answers on Gannon (AGAIN)

The following statement is from Rep. Louise Slaughter (D-NY). Sen. Lautenberg’s office, seen as leading the drive for an inquiry lead, did not immediately return calls for comment today.

Washington, DC - During the February 10 White House briefing, Press Secretary Scott McClellan stated that Jeff Gannon, “…like anyone else, showed that he was representing a news organization that published regularly” in order to receive his day pass to press briefings. It has been confirmed that Jeff Gannon was in the White House briefing room, actively participating in these briefings, as early as February 28, 2003 a full month before Talon News even existed

Rep. Louise M. Slaughter (NY-28), Ranking Member of the House Committee on Rules, who has led the call for answers in this matter, today called on the White House to explain their relationship with the discredited “reporter” once and for all.

“It has been a week since I wrote President Bush seeking answers in this matter. I have not yet received a reply. With each new revelation it becomes more and more clear that the relationship between the White House and Jeff Gannon was anything but typical,” said Slaughter. “It is time for this Administration to stop the stonewalling and come clean with the American people,” she added.

Gotta love a woman who won't back down.

So we know that Scotty lied when he said:

Scott McClellan stated that Jeff Gannon, “…like anyone else, showed that he was representing a news organization that published regularly” in order to receive his day pass to press briefings.

ET?

sorry

How will they explain aka Jeff asking Ari questions back in February 2003, before Talon was formed? Caught on tape...

I just went to Google Image Search, typed in the name Jeff Gannon, and not one single image of the guy turns up. This is very, very, surprising. Even though SCLM hasn't covered this story as aggressively as they should, does anyone else think it a bit strange that not even one picture of Gannon comes up on Google?

?????

turned on or off?
:)

and the second, and the third, and the fourth, and the fifth, etc.

Maybe he was "in training" for his new job as a reporter for the 'soon to be created' news outlet? Sort of like, maybe, an INTERN?

Need some help w/ these screen caps and getting better resolution, but it appears to be Gannon w/ a HARD PASS.

But do we know what a "soft pass" looks like?

Also, I think you should post a new thread with that, and get people to start digging.

Im writing her again today!!

I hope she gets her answers!!

Small changes in language can make a big difference. Adding the term "stonewalling" to the dialog is important.

and maybe so is someone high up in the Bush White House.}(

She is doing her job. What about the others? Fire em, well threaten anyway.

Maureen Dowd had a very hard time getting a pass, more need to speak out. Read her article on this site.

The pimp.

If a hard pass has a photo of the guy on it, then I am positive that he had a hard pass.

It's like Donald Trump said one night on his new TV show, "Failure is a bitch."
