Sen. Lamar Alexander's Chief of Staff Put on Leave Following Allegations Involving Child Pornography

[warrior1]

Source: National Journel



Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., sent out a release Wednesday morning announcing that his chief of staff, Ryan Loskarn, is being put on leave over allegations involving child pornography. "I am stunned, surprised and disappointed by what I have learned," the senator said in a statement.

Loskarn is on leave without pay, and Alexander says his office is fully cooperating with the investigation.

It wasn't long ago that things were looking rather good for Loskarn. A former staff director of the Senate Republican Conference, he was on Roll Call's 2009 "Fabulous 50 Movers and Shakers" on Capitol Hill list. He became Alexander's chief of staff at the end of 2011. Before then, he was the staff director of the Senate Republican Conference for more than two years and worked in the House as an aide for seven years for various Republican lawmakers.

1. What is it with pukes

and deviant behavior?

I saw the headline on CNN and crossed my fingers that it was going to be a Republican but I didn't worry too much. The really weird and sick shit always seems to come from the Republicans.

12. Simple...

Check almost any research into this and it will show over and over that repressed sexual urges tend to lead to deviant behavior. And these guys are REPRESSED. Sex is only for conceiving children (a la Santorum's objection to birth control of ANY type), done in the dark, missionary position, and get this disgusting thing over ASAP.

2. Let's see . . . "a cry for help" . . . "asking for your prayers" . . . "not jump to conclusions" . .

Oh, yeah, and "family values" - that ought to fit in there somewhere.

10. They don't even

care that he's a scumbag.

Here's an actual quote from our FR entertainment..."Guy might be a straight-up kiddie diddler, but I trust the random stranger charged with kiddie porn more than I do the Federal government."

Swear to god.

13. OFFS! Somebody report the Freeps to Feds. We got a live one there... n/t

3. "Fabulous"...really!? nt

4. This is the god squad!

The party which tells us how to live our lives.

I want this pervert in prison in the general population!

FOAD!

7. Scratch a prude and you'll find a perv. nt

5. How do they find this crap?

I find it hard to believe ppl like this aren't pedos outside of the internet too, and take their interests onto the Internet. How would they find hidden web sites or contacts that no one else could find (including the police) w/o conversing with other pedos (maybe even in outside of the Internet too)?

So much for Conservative family values.

6. Gotta love those morality GOPs

But I will wait for the investigation before judging unlike Fake news and the rest of the corporate media. Oh wait, if he were a Dem it would be blastered all over the media outlets and social media. If he were a Dem, he would have already been judged.

8. I'm sure pedophilia can be conducted by either Repukes or Dems

But man it does seem to rear its ugly head more with the right wing moral party doesn't it? Its like to repress the weird sexual nature of many of these people they polarize to the hate party to declare how "moral" they are.

11. Phedophilia and the conservatives

...have been scandalous before. Remember the 1989 scandal that broke that involved the Bush Sr. and Reagan Whitehouse? https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2003/02/06/15709461.php

14. Conservatives live on patronage. They have no moral code but self-interest. Their patron...

or financial backer is permitted anything, lying before Congress, swindling billions, sexual excess as payment, breaking all the laws of the land, anything.

Because their prosperity is not based on the social contract most liberals thrive on. For them, it's not 'what they know, it's who they know' and that is where their allegiance is.

That's why the American concepts of rights and equality is a joke to them. They are a closed society for the most part, we can see that from their long associations and how they keep on popping up, no matter how they 'fail' at their government jobs, as government is not their real job, their patron is their employer. Think Koch brothers...

If you do not study or grasp the way things were done in Rome, the way that they treated each other, especially sexually, you cannot understand the well-off conservative. They are into that imperial thinking, and care nothing for the poor or those they conquer through their actions. They endorse slavery. They denigrate those they wish to use and destroy.

And above all, they hate even the word 'democrat' as they did in Rome. They termed those who wanted to lift the masses, the plebians, the slaves up as human beings, as the most depraved people, as they spoke against the right of those they call noble and entitled to rule. This is who they are. We just don't want to believe it.

Pedophilia is a privilege they expect to be granted, like the rich and powerful have always taken recieved. I've read it is part of how they get ahead when young and accounts for their loyalty. They're like a huge dysfunctional, incestous family. Their depravity is destroying our society.

15. What was Alexander going to do to the NSA?

Most likely that this guy is a perv and deserves to go to jail. However, if the NSA was out to get someone or send a message, this seems to be a good way to do it.

18. ^^^^Interesting^^^^

16. VWolf sent out a release too

I'm neither stunned nor surprised, but as always, I'm disappointed.

17. Investigators describe horrifically graphic child porn on hard drive of Alexander aide Read more:

Jesse Ryan Loskarn, the former chief of staff to Tennessee Sen. Lamar Alexander, appeared in a Washington, D.C. federal court Thursday on charges of possession and distribution of child pornography.

Alexander fired Loskarn on Thursday after learning he was under investigation.

Loskarn — who goes by his middle name — was caught during a joint investigation between the Toronto Police Service and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service into a website that was selling DVDs and streaming movies, most of which “feature young nude boys.” Investigators found that Loskarn “made several purchases between November 2010 and March 2011,” according to the official complaint document.

In early October this year, USPIS “identified Loskarn’s residential IP address on the Gnutella peer to peer network offering files with names that are consistent with child pornography broadcasting as a download candidate,” according to the complaint. Investigators obtained partial downloads of the files and discovered that they were indeed videos of pornography featuring young children in sexual situations.

Police arrived at Loskarn’s D.C. home on Wednesday, armed with a search warrant. When no one answered the door, they used a battering ram to gain entry to the home. As they were entering, they noticed a man, whom they identified as Loskarn, leaning out of a window. He ”appeared to be in a nervous state looking right and left,” and he then made a motion that inspectors believed was him placing an object outside of the window and then shut the window.

Inspectors recovered a Toshiba external hardrive from outside that window, on which computer forensic examiners discovered child pornography featuring children as young as 10 and 8 years old, according to the file titles.
