BUSTED: Roger Stone and Michael Caputo Are LIARS

by: phillip anderson

Mon Aug 20, 2007 at 13:16:40 PM EDT


Ever since the day I received the first email from "NYFacts.net" something about the whole operation just didn't seem right. Later, when Michael Caputo, a long time associate of GOP operative and current consultant to Joe Bruno and the Senate Republicans, stepped forward to claim responsibility for the operation, my interest was piqued. I just assumed that Caputo was working in concert with, if not for, Stone. I mean, they've been working together for years. Why should this be any different? But, apparently it was as they both denied it repeatedly.

They are lying. They are lying and I have the proof. Now, Caputo has admitted, if not bragged about, being solely responsible for both "NYFacts" and "Spitzerfile" whilst denying any connection to Roger Stone.

So why is it so impossible for the media and bloggers to believe I can handle NYFacts and SpitzerFile on my own?

Uh huh.

I received the first NYFacts.net email to my Albany Project account on July 10. I mysteriously stopped receiving them on July 23. I never received a "Spitzerfile.com" email or one from the new Astroturf operation, the "W.J. Mahoney Republican Club".

Last week, Bouldin and I decided to do an experiment. I decided to subscribe to Roger Stone's website using an email address that I don't use for political work. In fact, it's an email address I use for my video work. The "Stone Zone" was even thoughtful enough to send me a confirmation of my subscription:

Guess what I got in my inbox today? My very first "Spitzerfile" email ever.

That's right. I got an email from "Spitzerfile.com", my first one ever, to an address that I do not use for political work, an address I use for something completely different, four days after I subscribed to Roger Stone's website. Caputo claims to run that operation, not Stone

Stone and Caputo have denied, to anyone who will listen, including many members of the traditional media, that they are working together. They have done so for a month now.

They are lying.

Game. Set. Match.

Gotcha. (4.00 / 6)
This neatly ties together Stone and Caputo and thereby, of course, Stone's boss - and that would be, Ladies and Gentlemen, Joe Bruno.


And Has This Information (4.00 / 4)
been passed along yet to any of those members of the traditional media who might be interested to know this?

Obviously, the Albany Times Union would seem to be a likely recipient, but there may well be others who might want to run with this.

As has been pointed out previously, there doesn't appear to be anything at all illegal in this type of coordination, which of course makes one suspicious that there might be something else going on here that Caputo, Stone and/or Bruno don't want people to know about.  Whatever might that be?

(Separately, the second image file, at 933 pixels wide, really messes with my screen by pulling the entire center column on the front page to that width, meaning I have to scroll horizontally back and forth to read the text in every item.  Not everyone has a wide-screen display.)


it has indeed been passed on (4.00 / 3)
to quite a few folks, many of whom have been lied to point blank by one or both of these clowns.

sorry about the pic.

TODAY is day one. It always is.

Azi Paybarah at the NY Observer (4.00 / 2)
is all over this.  And he adds this candidate for office in Buffalo, Sergio Rodriguez, to the roster of the Walter J. Mahoney Republican Club.  Am I right in thinking that apparently membership in this club means not knowing anyone else in the club?  And Giuliani staffers are involved now?  Oh my.

Capital Confidential has a post about this (0.00 / 0)
that qualifies the fact that Caputo is on the Bruno/Stone payroll.
