Congresswoman (Wilson-R, NM) covered up husband's pederasty
Edited on Thu Oct-19-06 01:49 PM by blitzen
she's the page board member!!!!


http://www.rawstory.com/news/2006/Congresswoman_on_page_board_buried_file_1019.html

A file allegedly suppressed by Congresswoman Heather Wilson (R-NM) has been obtained by RAW STORY.

In 1995, just three days into her tenure as Secretary of the New Mexico Children, Youth and Families Department, Wilson removed a routine working file alleging that her husband had engaged in inappropriate contact with a minor. The file was then transferred to the department's attorney in her own Albuquerque office, where it soon went missing.

At the time, a local investigative news team learned about the swap, but could not confirm certain details of the file. They were not able to recover the document itself.

More than ten years later, RAW STORY has uncovered and confirmed the authenticity of the police incident report believed to be contained in the missing dossier. Filed as a case of child abuse in 1993, it contends that Wilson's husband Jay Hone, an Albuquerque attorney, touched a then-16 year old boy "in a manner that was not welcome."

15. I keep forgetting that they named this week that way.
Hmmmm. How about fraud, how about hiding criminal documents, how about interference with criminal investigations, how about felony charges?

2. Ok, not to be picky
but when the allegations are out, they have to be rock solid. So...If the file went missing after transferring to her office, how did Rawstory get a copy of it?

and they have it then where from? There's enough real truths out there, we don't need rumors.

13. Hope the edit to make it clearer
It reads as if they have the file in the top of the piece, not a part of the file that went missing.

We're going to have to explain that and defend Rawstory every time it's brought up, otherwise it's going to be focused back on Rawstory as being another "Liberal blah blah blah" with their credibility questioned instead of being focused on Wilson. Wilson is the focus and it should stay on her.

3. Finally, something about her...
she irritates me like this Illan Ros lathen woman who went to Afghanistan. This Ros lathen woman thinks that she is the government. I know the name is pronounced wrong but someone knows who I am talking about I believe she is cuban and she is always somewhere spouting off about how Democrats or liberals are helping the terrorists.

4. Head of the NM Children, Youth and Families Department
But of course..

I think ALL Republicans working with any agency dealing with children need to be placed on leave immediately while a comprehensive investigation takes place.

This is getting to be fucking crazy.

on the other hand, it's very good that we're taking the idea of citizenship so seriously that we're watching over our nation.

Thanks for your efforts!

12. Just another reason we want to get rid of this cow
She's been a neocon rising star and a lousy Rep for the state.

That a file on her husband mysteriously disappeared from her office is certainly no surprise.

They're typical Repugs.

31. Patsy Madrid is her opponent. Madrid has recently surged ahead
Wilson has won three terms here in New Mexico and she is somewhat Independent. Wilson should be up by 10 right now. The fact that she is down is bad news for all Republicans. If Heather Wilson loses then a lot of moderate Republicans will go down and the Dems should make huge gains.

19. From the police report...
Edited on Thu Oct-19-06 02:06 PM by Hepburn
...statement of the alleged 16-year-old victim:



IMO, could be something...or it could be nothing as to what went on with Hone.

But.......the bottom line is that whether or not is was a problem, Wilson made the file disappear and no matter what, that is totally a wrong thing to do.

20. I agree. That's a real iffy set of circumstances.
Maybe Hone took a chance with the wrong boy. Maybe he was reaching for a piece of ....... pizza.

When your spouse is innocent, and yet you make a file disappear, even if you're doing it to "protect" your spouse, then guilt is presumed by most people.

Very bad situation. Bottom line: Wilson cannot be trusted to deal with the facts.

38. You express my thoughts precisely.
This one allegation would have to be the tip of an iceberg for there to be anything really going on with this guy. But Wilson's covering-up the allegation was definitely misuse of her powers.

27. The "Teardown" Continues...
But I have a problem fitting this into my thesis since Raw Story represents real independent journalism. Maybe it was the tip.

This is amazing. They're headed right at the heart of the Republican case for this election--
gay bashing through these stupid amendments.

I hope one of the byproducts of all of this is that the hypocrisy will be so tied to these
anti gay actions that anyone supporting them will have a taint of being like Heather's husband (and if her name isn't Healthier it should be)

Just a reminder...Wilson's election stunk to high heavens and the problems were so well documented that Richardson who was sued over it settled the suit by doing the right thing - he went to paper ballots for NM and did it like a real professional. The whole election fraud problem in Bernallio County was uncovered by the www.VoterAction.org voting rights group, which rocks.

Amazing.

28. We have to consider them innocent until proven guilty...
...just like they'd do for us. Or for a Muslim detainee, or someone accused of drug possession, or a pregnant woman claiming to have been raped, or a presidential candidate accused of...

Come to think of it, they can both rot in hell.

36. Rolling Stone just did a story and they mention her race
as one to watch. This should put her opponent over the edge. Her district is mostly Dem and hispanic, and her opponent is both of those, so it looks like a natural Dem pick up. This will be interesting.

That overwrought display of fake outrage over her boob..."How can I let my son...my 10 year old son, turn on the TV to watch a simple football game..." or some such grandstanding.

Is this the same woman? What a phony!

More camping stories to come I suppose:

http://www.baylor.edu/Lariat/news.php?action=story&story=11663">Scout's Honor

In addition, Milleson will be making several important speeches. He will be presiding over the national conference and will be making appearances all over the nation. He will also present Scouting's annual report to Congress and President Clinton in mid-March.

'Mat has been a shining star in this organization since he was 14,' said Jay Hone, Assistant Adviser for the Boy Scouts of America. 'I have every confidence he will do a great job and Baylor University will be proud of this extraordinary young man.'


He's since been promoted to National Council Representative, whatever that means.

44. More Republilcan Pederasty
The Republicans have a new ad out. It shows OBL and a ticking clock, and ends with the Daisy Girl scene, where an atom bomb goes off and blows the little girl away. Just like the famous Lyndon Johnson ad against Barry Goldwater.

The last time the Republicans ran a Daisy Girl ad, the poor little girl featured in the ad was molested by the Republican consultant who made it. We should pont this out as our response to the latest Daisy Girl ad.

Referring to a Daily Kos story from June 12th of this year- http://www.dailykos.com/story/2006/6/21/171659/566

There was another Daisy Girl remake against Al Gore during the 2000 election. It was made by Republican political consultant and ad producer Carey Lee Cramer. The girl he featured as the Daisy Girl was his 9-year-old stepdaughter.

Cramer was convicted of molesting his stepdaughter and another girl. From the June 29th issue of "The Monitor," a McAllen, Texas newspaper:

"Cramer, 44, of Tucson, Ariz., was convicted Tuesday of aggravated sexual assault of a child, two counts of indecency with a child by contact and one count of indecency with a child by exposure."

He received a six year prison sentence, ten years probation, and a $30,000 fine.

He was accused of molesting the girl before, during, and after the filming of the ad.

State time in Texas ain't easy- especially for child molesters. Let's hope Carey Lee Cramer is now forced to be a special little "Daisy Girl" for the entire cellblock.

The Monitor article is here:

http://www.themonitor.com/SiteProcessor.cfm?Template=/GlobalTemplates/Details.cfm&StoryID=13961&Section=Valley

There's plenty of Carey Lee Cramer info out there, if anyone wants to check it out.

And yet they're running another version of this ad again. How clueless, tasteless, and vile can these people be?
