Jeff Gannon Exposed, in 'Doonesbury' and New Documents

NEW YORK The reporter/blogger formerly known as James D. Guckert, who had pretty much escaped the public eye this month, staged a dramatic comeback on Sunday, re-appearing in Doonesbury and making news as Secret Service documents concerning his White House visits were released.

In the Doonesbury strip on Sunday, which several weeks ago brought back Roland the reporter as a White House “stooge,” a colleague asks Roland if he is still “taking money from the dark side.” Roland challenges him to report that, if true. “I’d miss you too much,” the other journo replies.

“You guys weren’t so sentimental about Jeff Gannon,” Roland responds. “Why not me?”

“Because he was a Republican gay male escort?” the colleague answers. “Just guessing.”

Then, in Monday's edition, the White House is clearly fretting about links between the President and embattled GOP leader Tom "The Hammer" DeLay. At a press briefing, Roland, emulating Gannon, asks, ""Scott, the President barely knows DeLay, right?"

Scott McClellan answers: "Right again, Roland."

The Secret Service papers had been requested by two Democrats in Congress, Reps. John Conyers and Louise Slaughter. According to the news site Raw Story, they show that Guckert, who wrote for two pro-GOP Web sites under the pen name Jeff Gannon, made more than 200 appearances at the White House during his two-year tenure.

This included attending 155 press briefings and at least two presidential press conferences, all on a “day pass.” More surprising, according to the documents: Guckert got into the White House three dozen times when there were no scheduled briefings. And on at least 14 occasions, Raw Story reported, “Secret Service records show either the entry or exit time missing.”

"Jeff Gannon" is the Bush White House Lewinsky
Posted on Monday, April 25 @ 08:54:15 EDT by drew

Conspiracy GannonGuckert accessed the White House approximately 200 times over a twenty-two month period, simply using a day pass. That's twice a week for a two year period. This is fishy as hell. And ON A DAY PASS. If that's isn't regular access, what is?

The real question is WHY was he so freely there and WHO was behind this?

Secret Service Gave "Jeff Gannon" Unparalled Access to White House.

No two ways around it: "Jeff Gannon" is someone's (or multiple persons') Lewinsky.

Nothing else makes sense. The Secret Service cannot be that lax. He was being let in on days when there were no press briefings held and allowed to leave through multiple exits and without signing out (many long, sweaty romps, no doubt).

I'm cranking up the e-Rolodex and will fire this one off to hundreds of thousands, including every newspaper columnist and radio wag extant.

I bet this sick @!#$ is/was stretching Queen George, Rove, Scott McClellan and Ken Mehlman (and mebbe Andrew Card, who reportedly swings that way). No other story is hotter and more damaging to the Bush Admin than "Jeff Gannon."

From Americablog:

Oh, it gets better.

Many times he didn't sign in or out. Perhaps more notable than the frequency of his attendance, however, is several distinct anomalies about his visits.

Guckert made more than three dozen excursions to the White House when there were no scheduled briefings. On many of these days, the Press Office held press gaggles aboard Air Force One - which raises questions about what Guckert was doing at the White House.

On at least fourteen occasions, Secret Service records show either the entry or exit time missing. Generally, the existing entry or exit times correlate with press conferences; on most of these days, the records show that Guckert checked in but was never processed out.

In March, 2003, Guckert left the White House twice on days he had never checked in with the Secret Service. Over the next 22 months, Guckert failed to check out with the Service on thirteen days. On several of these visits, Guckert either entered or exited by a different entry/exit point than his usual one. On one of these days, no briefing was held.

"I’d be worried if I was the White House and I knew that a reporter with a day pass never left," one White House reporter told RAW STORY. "I’d wonder, where is he hiding? It seems like a security risk.

Secret Service White House Access Records for James Guckert

=============
A news report confirmed why Nelson was likely taken off the street: "A top Labor Department advisor to Secretary Elizabeth Dole resigned yesterday after acknowledging that he had procured male prostitutes and was subject to blackmail threats by one of the call boys." [Washington Times, 6-30-1989--The paper had previously reported that a 15-year old call-boy had toured the White House at midnight.]

In a letter announcing his resignation as Mrs. Dole’s political personnel liaison to the White House, Paul R. Balach wrote: "I hereby resign my position this date due to the public disclosure of activities concerning my personal life."

Not mentioning either children or members of congress, the Times added, "according to documents obtained, the homosexual prostitution ring includes not only Reagan and Bush administration officials but military officers, congressional aides and U.S. foreign businessmen with close social ties to Washington’s ‘political elite.’ "

Attempts to find photos of high government officials

Nelson told us, "While I was in jail, the FBI went to my parents’ farm in Nebraska and took sledge hammers to the walls, shot out all the windows and appliances of our barn, ransacked my parents house without a warrant on two separate occasions--looking for stuff related to Franklin, evidence--the photos; but I was not shooting kiddie porn."

"There were military shell casings all over our property," he said.

"And when I had to leave Portland to go testify in Nebraska, state parole officers did everything they could to keep me from testifying before Judge Urbom," said Nelson, adding, "they said I was in solitary to protect me but it was more like torture since they woke me up so much I never got any sleep, spent $50,000 to extradite me back to Oregon for a DNA sample, then put me on death row at Leavenworth prison for a few weeks with violent criminals--heck, I saw them beat one guy and four men died while I was at Moltnomah County Detention Center in Portland."

"This last arrest [after the Thompson suicide] in February, I was roughed up, pushed into walls, and they would not let me see their badge numbers; I was helping a friend open up her photography studio--that’s the only way I can earn money to survive," he said.

"They said I was soliciting a minor for photographs; but we were only looking for a few junior bridesmaids for a bridal show promotion with other women. And the parents were all involved and were always required to sign releases and be present for all photo shoots. We did nothing wrong. I am good at wedding photography and you can earn good money in that business," Nelson continued, adding "how else am I able to work?"

Nelson’s prior links to the White House child sex ring have continued to draw attention from unidentified individuals who still threaten him.

"In the spring of 2003 [not long after key child sex ring witness Troy Boner was found mysteriously dead in a New Mexico hospital], a guy wearing dark sunglasses came up to me and said, ‘Drop Franklin; you’re in too deep. Your family and life are in jeopardy.’ Then he walked away."

Even more recently, on October 22, 2004 [two weeks before George W. Bush edged out John F. Kerry for the presidency], Delmart "Mike" Vreeland was arrested in Franklin county, Iowa on charges of child prostitution allegedly committed in Colorado.

Vreeland is now off the street, however, reportedly in solitary confinement with no contact with other prisoners after having been said to have predicted the 9/11 attacks in a note written while he was previously in prison on other charges.

While the rest of the country reels from relatively frequent amber alerts in Florida and around the United States, evidence continues to point toward reasons for commencing an amber alert on Capitol Hill--what some would say is the epicenter of child sex criminality.
