Katherine Harris Hid Subpoena From Campaign Adviser
Ex-Aide: Harris Hid Subpoena
Skip directly to the full story.
By KEITH EPSTEIN The Tampa Tribune

Published: Aug 2, 2006


WASHINGTON - U.S. Senate candidate Katherine Harris received a grand jury subpoena from federal investigators and concealed the fact from top campaign advisers hired to help her deflect negative publicity, her former campaign manager has disclosed.

"Yes, there was a subpoena. She didn't tell us," said Glenn Hodas, Harris' third and most recent campaign manager. He said he learned of it in June while reviewing invoices from powerhouse Washington lawyer Benjamin J. Ginsberg and confronted his boss.

The invoices, Hodas said, were for work relating to a "DOJ subpoena," referring to the U.S. Department of Justice.

The discovery culminated in the latest round of staff departures, in mid-July, Hodas said. Those resignations included Hodas and a campaign spokesman.

3. Is there a reverse correlation between implant size & IQ?
I swear those things have grown since 2000 and obviously something else has gotten quite a bit smaller.

5. Does this idiot woman ever think anything through? Does she
think just because any investigation into the 2000 election was derailed, everything she does will go unnoticed or at least unmentioned? She's just EXACTLY like blivet. She doesn't think about consequences of her stupid criminal behavior and she thinks everyone else is just too stupid to notice.

20. It's what one of the Daily Shows called them
The reporter said something like, "Harris is having to rely more and more on moxie and spunk." John looked confused so the reported explained that's what she calls her breasts.

8. Not a target?
snip..
The subpoena apparently was issued for campaign records as part of a Justice Department investigation of Harris' dealings with defense contractor Mitchell J. Wade.

The escalating inquiry by the Justice Department's Public Integrity Section already has involved interviews with Rollins, who conducted an internal inquiry for the campaign and said he spent two hours talking to investigators here, and Fred Asbell, who quit in June as Harris' chief of staff in Congress, Harris' fourth.

Existence of a grand jury subpoena doesn't imply wrongdoing; it could be part of a broader investigation focusing on other targets.

Harris has said she is cooperating with authorities and has been informed she is "not a target."

----
If the old bitty is not a target, then why is she need to hide it.
Defense Contractor Wade Hmmm!

Get those Puppies Cruela!

11. Report of Psychological Testing
Subject: Katherine Harris
DOB: Undisclosed

This subject was referred for evaluation by the Republican Party of Florida.

Ms. Harris was administered a Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (2d. Ed.; MMPI-2) and a Rohrschach projective test. She declined to participate in an evaluation interview, so the following report is based solely on test tesults and on information provided by third parties.

Test Results

Validity scales on the MMPI-2 indicate that the subject sought to portray herself in unrealistically virtuous terms and made a naive attempt to deny any form of psychological distress or turmoil. These response biases were sufficiently severe to technically invalidate the test results.

Results of the Rorschach indicate that the client has a general pattern of denying, minimizing and repressing any ego-threatening material. She is likely to seek to cover deep-seated feelings of personal inadequacy by putting up a "false front" (or perhaps a "falsie front") of hyper-competence and toughness. She appears to harbor a deep-seated form of chronic rage, which she may act out on in indirect or passive-aggressive ways.

Summary

Ms. Harris appears to be intensely self-centered and narcissistic in her approach to life, with a tendency to see herself in unrealistically grandiose terms. She is likely to be utterly lacking in empathy and compassion, and to act in ways that display a total disregard for the needs and interests of others. She is likely to have a strong fear of abandonment, and her relationships with significant others are likely to follow a cyclic pattern of swings from extremes heights of idealization to profound depths of devaluation. She is likely to be subject to marked mood swings, ranging from giddy euphoria to profound depression in a matter of minutes.

Most likely diagnosis:

Narcissistic Personality Disorder with Borderline and Antisocial features.

12. Benny Ginsburg's Got His Grubbies In This?
Hmmm...ain't that somethin'. :rofl:

That slimeball was on Tweety the other night giving his kiss of death to Joe Liebermann. Surely that musta won Joementum lots of votes in Connecticutt :sarcasm:

She's up to her eyeball in the MZB mess and a major reason the Florida Repugnicans have been trying to force her out...and looks like they're still at it. Face it, if the party felt Harris was that valuable, Mehlmann and his goon would have gone to great measures to makes sure the subpoena wouldn't become public.

For those here who are impatient about all the investigations going on...I sense a perfect storm coming up here. Imagine 4 or 5 or more indictments coming down in September and October...and no GOOP Lobby reform for those lying bastards to try to tap dance around. Their hubris has been simply astounding.

In the meantime...more :popcorn: for us Kate Harris fans here...she never fails to deliver top quality amusement this campaign season.

13. Since this is the Bushco Dept. of Justice investigating, this tells me the
Rethugs really want her out. In Bushworld, the DoJ's only purpose is to harrass those they want out of the way.

17. God love her, she is so representative of everything I hate about
the republican party. NO integrity whatsoever. Whatever it takes. The end justifies the means. Hateful, Anti-American bullshit. I hope she goes down hard.
