My fear re Gannon/Guckert...

[Blue_In_AK]

That he will be "suicided," and then the left will be blamed for pushing him over the edge. Is he being protected in any way? He seems like a perfect candidate for this kind of demise.

1. He probably knows a lot of people

who don't want to be embarassed.

[Catherine Vincent]

2. I hope this doesn't happen.

But I do hope that Gannon get away from the evil republican party and hook up with someone that will protect him.

3. He is probably already long protected by

the goodies that he has secreted away...and that will be released should anything happen to him...otherwise, he would have been dead before this.

[Pirate Smile]

4. How did Brock get away without getting hurt?

[Auntie Bush]

5. Guckert should make some "Lists" and hide them out somewhere

as an insurance policy and make it known they are out there to be exposed if he were targeted.

However...don't forget some Journalists and some "good" Dem's could be on that list. Probably one reason it isn't covered by the news. They don't know who is one the list.

7. If he hasn't already done this I'd be shocked! n/t

[bush_is_wacko]

6. Yep, that is why it is to HIS benefit for this story to become

insurmountable and WIDELY distributed in the media! He knows that , that is why he is talking about suing and going on political talk shows!

Believe it or not "liberal" EXPOSURE is the best thing to ever happen to him. If he suddenly disappears, for whatever reason, at this point, the press is going to be all over it and the administration knows it.

Yes, it is still possible for it to happen, but I imagine he's getting some protection from somewhere at this point. The fact that military men are part of his escort service should provide some idea of where he's getting it from. I hope they are all Navy Seals and trained mercenaries for his sake!

I really don't have anything against Gannon/Guckert. His sexual preference doesn't bother me in the least bit, but I do see a criminal conspiracy here and I think it has backfired in a horrible way on BOTH sides. There are a lot of sexual secrets in DC and this man obviously holds the key to at least some of them.

To be a fly on the wall in DC right now would be very interesting!

[EVDebs]

8. Yes indeed. They don't want any "Jack Ruby" style hints etc. eom

[bush_is_wacko]

11. Luckily "security" has evolved profoundly since those days.

And the private market is MUCH better at it than people think. Any successful attempts make people wonder which one of the "protectors" was in on it nowadays.

9. Administration won't do something stupid or crazy?

Guarantee?

10. Oh, you know I can't do that, but exposure at least insures ANY incident

surrounding him is going to be researched to it's conclusion.

I'm pretty confident Guckert is surrounding himself with protection at the moment.

[Blue_In_AK]

12. I sure would if I were him -- he -- whatever.... n/t

[immoderate]

15. These guys are pretty reckless.

They may be feeling unstoppable, and that they can ride out or more likely steamroll over a scandal. I wouldn't say you are wrong, but it's not a gimme.

[bush_is_wacko]

16. I agree they ARE EXTREMELY reckless. I think that's what is

going to get them caught. People can only be SHEEPLE through so many scandals and untruths. Once they become overwhelming as I think they are becoming, at least a significant portion of them will start asking how this jives with what my priest, pastor, minister, mother, father, brother, neighbor, blah, blah, blah keeps telling me.

Pass it on IS working! Finally! I'm seeing an awful lot of people looking kind of like Rip Van Winkle waking from his overly long nap. Once they start looking for their information elsewhere they are going to join the pas it along mentality.

Even the Kennedy assassination never garnered this much speculation, IMO. I think the biggest problem we are facing is fear. People realize it seems awfully suspicious that authors, biographers, scientists, and politicians are dropping like flies and they have forgotten to remember that SECRETS get you killed not INFORMATION. If you share something with one person you have just assured even if they get to you there is another and another and another they have to get to in order to kill the secret.

If EVERYBODY knows it isn't a secret, no matter how hard someone works to cover it up and it is impossible to squelch it.

14. I was thinking the same thing...

First he says, "I'm not talking to the media!" Ten minutes later, he's all over it, sweating bullets and making a fool of himself.

It's much safer to be out in public.

[Cooley Hurd]

13. As politically revolting as he is, I sincerely hope he stays safe...

...and writes a tell-all (like Brock).

That would be the best possible outcome for this whole deal...
