Did top Pentagon official create imaginary LLC to pad resume?

Michele S. Jones, Secretary Robert Gates’ special assistant and the Pentagon's White House liason, was revealed Monday to have exchanged emails with White House gatecrashers Tareq and Michaele Salahi. Entertainment lawyer Paul W. Gardner has claimed that both parties are clients.

The Defense Department announced in July 2009 Jones’ appointment to her current post, claiming that she “previously served with The Bones Theory Group, LLC, Jacksonville, Fla.”

But the Florida Department of State, where all state LLCs are required to register, told Raw Story they have no listing for a "Bones Theory Group."

"No sir, we have no record of it," a spokeswoman for Florida's State Department said of the supposed organization, after Raw Story carefully spelled out its name as written in the DOD's press release. "A Florida LLC, no sir," she said.

The website Spirit of Democracy described Jones in an article as “President and CEO of ‘The Bones Theory Group.’” The website, when contacted, could not confirm where they got the fact.

Among the other public records databases that have no listing for “Bones Theory Group” (or variations of the name) are the Florida Business Directory, StateOfFlorida.com and ResourceLinks.net.
