EXCLUSIVE - Chuck Schumer's office won't accept any more illegally obtained GOP credit reports dfu phone call to Schumer's office \| 9-26-05 \| dfu Posted on 09/26/2005 11:39:22 AM EDT by doug from upland (NOTE: this is not a joke post. I really did have this conversation this morning.) ======================================================================= After a brief discussion with a staffer at the office of Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), I am pleased to report, exclusively for FreeRepublic, that his office will not accept any more illegally obtained credit reports of GOP officials. A controversy was created by two Schumer aides who illegally obtained the credit report of Republican Michael Steele, who is expected to run for the Senate from Maryland. Maryland Lt. Gov. Michael Steele, potential candidate for U.S. Senate. When the Schumer staffer was told that I had credit reports on several Republican officials and asked if Senator Schumer could use them, the staffer answered, "Pardon me?" I then made reference to the Steele case and said that I thought he might want some more Republican credit reports. He was still taken aback, and the staffer responded, "I don't think that's something he's looking for right now." So Republicans who don't have clean credit reports can feel relieved. Senator Chuck Schumer will not be actively working with his aides to illegally obtain such information. We applaud the Senator for not wanting to be involved in any more illegal activity.
