Phone Jammer to Argue DC Officials Approved

[cal04]

According to a recent court filing, indicted phone jammer Shaun Hansen may offer an affirmative defense at his upcoming fall trial, arguing that the phone jamming scheme which his company carried out had the seal of approval of both the Republican National Committee and the White House.

Apparently, Hansen's defense strategy is not going to focus on whether or not he jammed Democratic phone lines on Election Day in 2002. Rather, his defense strategy will be to persuade a jury that he may have been persuaded not just that the phone jamming was legal, but that he would be carrying out the scheme on behalf of the United States government.

(Far fetched? Maybe not. GOP Marketplace, the firm which brought Hansen into the phone jamming scheme, was owned in part by Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour. In addition, phone records show hundreds of phone calls from the NH Republican party and convicted phone jammer James Tobin to the White House Office of Political Affairs during the time the scheme was being planned, carried out, and covered up.)

Not all GOP operatives are as quiet as James Tobin. The next phone jamming trial - for the former President of Idaho-based Mylo Enterprises - looks to be a whole different story.

4. So if he proves that Rove personally gave him instructions to do so

will Rove be in trouble? Haha...I kid. The correct answer is - no, Rove is immune from the law, just like all the other giggling murderers.
