Default Former Dem. Hill Staffer and Obama Admin. Official Accused of Drugging and Sexually A

Quote:
A former senior congressional aide was indicted this week in D.C. Superior Court on charges that he sexually assaulted two women after drugging them with a sedative that he allegedly put in their drinks.

Donny Ray Williams Jr., 36, who served as staff director for a Senate subcommittee and worked in the offices of several members of Congress, gave at least one woman Ambien and assaulted her while she was unconscious, according to court papers.

Williams was charged with 10 counts of first- and second-degree sexual abuse and related charges in connection with attacks that authorities said occurred between July and December 2010. During that time, according to his profile on the LinkedIn Web site, Williams was staff director of a Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs subcommittee.

A third woman made similar allegations against Williams, attorneys and Williams said, and a fourth woman said that he threatened her. As a result of that fourth allegation, Williams was indicted on one count of threatening to injure or kidnap a person. Additional details of that charge were not made public.
Former Dem. Hill Staffer and Obama Admin. Official Accused of Drugging and Sexually Assaulting Women | The Weekly Standard

Lie by omission at the Washington Post. When the media, whether it be print or TV fails to identify who people worked for because it might be an embarrassment fail the entire country.

And, when it is rightly pointed out that this is just another typical example of liberal bias in the news, those who don't wear obama blinders can see it clearly.

I don't know...I find a discrepancy...

Your link is The Weekly standard...Their date and time of the article that says the Washington Post "fails to mention" the staffer worked for all democrats is "10:19 AM, Sep 1, 2012"...This morning about 3 hours ago...

But the Washington Post article itself DOES mentions this...

Quote:
According to his profile, he began his Capitol Hill career in 1999. He worked for panels chaired by Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman (I-Conn.) and Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.). He also said he worked for Sen. Herb Kohl (D-Wis.), Rep. Elijah E. Cummings (D-Md.) and Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.). The Washington Post confirmed that he had held those positions.
If you look at the top of the article, it reads "By Keith L. Alexander, Published: August 31 | Updated: Saturday, September 1, 12:00 AM"

Now why would the Weekly Standard publish their article saying that the Democrat connection wasn't made TEN HOURS after The Washington Post updated their article to include the Democrat connection?...

I'm thinking one of two things...

1) The author at The Weekly Standard saw the original late last night (that did NOT have the connections) and waited until morning to write it up, and neglected to check the article and see that it was updated at midnight...

2) The Washington Post updated the article AFTER The Weekly Standard's article and put "12:00AM" instead of "12:00PM" (intentionally or unintentionally)...

Either way, the fact that they didn't have the Democrat connection in the original article is bullsh*t standard fare...But whether they added it later because they felt it looked too biased even to themselves and changed it on their own or they got caught without making the connection and are trying to change that deceivingly?...Jury is out on that...

I understand what you're saying, and by all rights I should be giving WaPo the benefit of the doubt. However, this happens so much at the Washington rag and other left wing publications I just can't do it.

Oh, I'm not blaming you at all...It's a lot to ask for members to notice updates every single time...And besides, if WaPo is being deceitful about it's update, it could've been absolutely, 100% true AT THE TIME you posted it...

WaPo is being deceitful anyway...They post that there was an update, but they don't point out WHAT was updated...Most of the time, the updates are clear at the bottom of the article, whereas, in this case, they simply say "update" and make the reader guess at what...

What a piece of sh*t. Hope he gets the book thrown at him and it has rocks in it.
