Wow. The crisis of corruption in the White House just intensifies day on day. I wonder if Senator Mitch McConnell protégé J. Scott Jennings learned all these tricks of the corruption trade during his time in Sen. McConnell’s office? What’s below is bad news for J. Scott Jennings, but likely worse news for Republican Senator Pete Domenici.

From Josh Marshall at Talking Points Memo (And this is the link to images of the incriminating emails that the excerpt below is referencing):

(April 13, 2007 — 11:35 PM EDT)

J. Scott Jennings, Special Assistant to the President and Deputy Director, Office of Political Affairs to Karl Rove, Kyle Sampson, Fred Fielding, et al., February 28th, 2007: “[Sen. Domenici's Chief of Staff Steve] Bell said Domenici’s idea is not to respond [to Iglesias's accusations], and hopefully make this a one day story. They have already been contacted by McClatchy … They have not confirmed to the reporter they were one of the Members.”

AP, March 1st, 2007 …

In a brief interview Thursday, Domenici also denied the accusation. “I don’t have any comment,” he told The Associated Press. “I have no idea what he’s talking about.”
