Another Fake Memo? Part 5
In response to a survey conducted by the paper, all 55 Republican senators say they had never seen the document prior to it's appearance on ABC and in the Washington Post, and only one Democrat insists he saw it circulate on the Senate floor.
Here is the key portion of the Washington Times Article:
Two Democratic offices refused to respond, Sen. Jack Reed of Rhode Island and Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, Nevada Democrat, the latter even as he continued to accuse Republicans of being behind it."We will not participate in the survey. News outlets have investigated and authenticated the memo was real and came from Republican sources. We have no further comment," said spokeswoman Tessa Hafen. "If you want more information on the memo, you should work on finding the Republican who wrote it."
She did not respond to a request to name the newspaper or network that had "authenticated" the memorandum.
Greyhawk also reminds us that,
Recall that the NY Times reported that unnamed "Democratic aides" were the only people ever seen distributing the memo
The Washington Post still has not revealed its source or even revealed what party they belong to.
