GOP need not share internal phone jamming investigation papers

[MaineDem]

MANCHESTER, N.H. — State Republicans do not have to give state Democrats papers from an internal investigation of phone jamming on Election Day 2002, a judge ruled this week.

The Republicans had provided some documents, but withheld others, citing the attorney-client privilege.

Judge Philip Mangones reviewed the documents _ internal investigation reports and documents related to the party´s review of the scheme that jammed Democratic and firefighters union get-out-the-vote telephone banks _ and decided the GOP need not share them as the civil case proceeds.

Instead, Mangones said Democrats are entitled to the same documents Republicans turned over to federal prosecutors during the case´s criminal proceedings.

1. bet the reason they don't want to show

the docs is this:
"The Democrats say they hope their lawsuit will show who else may have been behind the operation and who paid for it."

Good luck and :kick:
