Accused video leaker on "Kissing Congressman's" staff quits

Leah Gordon was McAllister's Monroe District Office manager

Leah Gordon, the staff member of U.S. Rep. Vance McAllister who is accused of leaking the video of the congressman’s scandalous kiss, has resigned as his Monroe District Office manager.

Adam Terry, McAllister’s chief of staff, confirmed her resignation late Wednesday. He said Gordon wasn’t fired.

“We won’t terminate or discipline any employee until after our internal investigation of the security breach is complete,” Terry said. “(Gordon) resigned on her own.”

McAllister, R-Swartz, has been under fire since a video was published last week showing the married congressman kissing former married staffer Melissa Peacock, who has since resigned.

... that the staffer was unhappy working there. Otherwise, why would she leak the video?

tripe her boss was peddling, became disillusioned when she saw the video and decided to call him on it. There's probably a very good chance she knows a whole lot more about the Congress critter but hasn't blown the whistle...yet.

she would have been a local and this was more than likely a pay back job for working on his campaign.

I agree, I think she knows more.

I'm sure they (McAllister's cronies) were making her miserable.

SHE didn't do anything wrong; HE did!
