New Developments in the Chandra Levy case
It sounds like Gary Condit was destroyed over nothing.

http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalradar/2009/02/new-development.html

ABC News' Rhonda Schwartz, Imtiyaz Delawala and Pierre Thomas report: Over the last several months FBI agents have been reviewing evidence in the 2001 "cold case" murder of Chandra Levy and have revisited longtime suspect Igman Andique.

Andique has been in jail since approximately July 2001 for two similar but non-fatal, attacks on women in Washington DC's Rock Creek park, according to case FBI agent and ABC News consultant Brad Garrett.

Andique attacked a woman two weeks after Chandra's disappearance in the middle of May 2001 and another in July. The women were jogging in Rock Creek Park, when he "clotheslined" them and dragged them down the hill. There was a struggle, they escaped and he ultimately was caught and pled guilty.

Andique is now serving a 10-year sentence at the U.S. Penitentiary-Victorville in Adelanto and is eligible for parole in 2011. The FBI most likely wants to close the case before his parole date, Brad Garrett tells ABC News.

Guandique was the focus of the last three parts of a 12-part series on Levy's disappearance in the Washington Post metro section last year. He told the Post then he had nothing to do with Levy's disappearance:

"Regarding the case of the girl, Chandra Levy: I don't know anything about that case. In 2001, the FBI went to see me when I was in the . That was when I learned about that girl," Guandique said. "Before that, I had never seen her and I don't understand the reason why the police started to suspect me. ... I have nothing to do with the death of that girl. I am innocent and I am not afraid of the police investigation."

After the Post series, D.C. and FBI cold case squad detectives reexamined their evidence. The problem had always been a lack of conclusive physical evidence to tie this suspect to the murder.

1. He took a lot of sh!t for nothing but he was exposed as the creep he was.
It must have been horrible for his family, who were not creeps, did not sleep with interns and etc. That was terrible.

3. Gary Condit would probably have ended up one of those who strongly backed Bush
throughout the Bush years.

but he was still a victim of the whole obsession with sex and politicians that the media and republicans and others had/have.

6. Condit didn't kill his intern and got ridden out of town...Joey Scab can't explain away HIS...
Edited on Sat Feb-21-09 02:09 AM by truebrit71
...dead intern and all he got was a lousy new career on the teevee...

Both of them are scumbags no doubt, the difference is that one of them is innocent and the other one is Joe Scarborough.

7. The day that Levy's mother goes on TV and apologizes to Condit
publicly for ruining his career with her hysterical diatribes is the day this case is closed. That was the turning point for me with the news-all news. When they let this woman accuse try and convict an elected official on air-and when proven wrong never confronted her with what she did.
