No Apologies from Joe
Well, I never actually believed that the Attorney General’s office was actually investigating the alleged hack on Joe2006.com, but it’s good to know that they gave it the thorough analysis it deserved </sarcasm>
It only took four months for them to conclude not only that the Lamont campaign (and supporters) were absolutely not involved, but also that what happened is EXACTLY WHAT WE WERE F@#$ING SAYING ON AUGUST 8th!!
From the Stamford Advocate:
The U.S. attorney’s office and state attorney general have cleared former U.S. Senate candidate Ned Lamont and his supporters of any role in the crash of U.S. Sen. Joseph Lieberman’s campaign Web site hours before last summer’s Democratic primary.
[...]
A Lieberman campaign spokeswoman, Marion Steinfels, had called it a “coordinated effort to wreck our Web site and make us incapable of communicating with each other and our voters.”
Visitors who tried to access Lieberman’s site received a message calling on Lamont to “make an unqualified statement denouncing this kind of dirty campaign trick and to demand whoever is responsible to cease and desist immediately.”
Lamont’s campaign denied any involvement, and staff posted a link to a duplicate or “cache” version of Lieberman’s site on Lamont’s blog.
