Gannon-gate continueth...

RAW story has an important new article (with more promised in the near future) on pseudo-journalist Jeff Gannon's mysterious White House access. Editor John Byrne has gained access to Secret Service records which show that Gannon did apply under his real name (Jim Guckert) for his 200-odd visits.

Oddly, he often did not check out with the Secret Service. Apparently, he seems to found a way to enter the White House on several occasions without formally informing the President's protectors. Nice (you should pardon the expression) trick!

Here's the real puzzler: "Gannon" would show up at the White House at times when there was no press conference, or when the press gaggle was convened aboard Air Force One -- "which raises questions about what Guckert was doing at the White House."

Lots of folks have wondered whether Gannon/Guckert's access had anything to do with his "other life" as a male hooker. The Raw Story piece forces us to consider that angle anew. Who was he seeing in the White House when the press conferences were held aloft?

Discover WHO sent Gannon into the White House and WHY and you'll have the real story.

When Guckert did not sign in, I want to know who was escorting him -- or, to put it another way, whom he was escorting. And did Rick Santorum come over to the White House to play with Barney?

Check out this Kos diary on what Gannon may have been doing. Case looks pretty strong that he was getting info to disseminate...
