3 Days After She Questioned Murdochs-"She Received What Is Basically A Threat"

[kpete]

Your Daily Murdoch

Three days after Louise Mensch questioned the Murdochs and Rebekah Brooks, she received what is basically a threat to expose her past drug use. She took it in stride, admitting, “Although I do not remember the specific incident, this sounds highly probable.”

The MPs leading inquiries into the Murdoch scandal have called on Gordon Taylor to testify to the judge leading the other inquiry. The settlement–and gag–Taylor made with NotW is at the center of charges that James Murdoch lied to Parliament.

1. Smart broad.

2. Surprising, since she's a Conservative, isn't she?

I remember her questioning them, but don't remember the questions. She stands out to me because she is the one who mentioned Piers Morgan.

3. this is what happens when the government interferes with private businesses.

routine threats take DAYS instead of hours.

7. Lovely rebuttal

As you do, I immediately Googled David Jones Investigative Journalists and found this:

"But who are “David Jones Investigative Journalists”? Why don’t they come up in Google? And why has this broken on the same day that Mensch’s apology letter to Morgan made it into the public domain?

UPDATE: Mensch’s PR man tells me that David Jones emailed from “[e-mail]”. Meanwhile there are no records of David Jones Investigative Journalists at Companies House."
