Rep. Schakowsky Denies Lesbian Spy Charges

US Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-IL) has been accused of having a lesbian affair with a Turkish spy. The accuser, Sibel Edmonds, was a translator working for the FBI when she became aware of the alleged affair. Schakowsky denies the entire thing, but a US Dept of Justice report said that the Edmonds accusations have enough merit to warrant a thorough investigation. Schakowsky called Edmonds a liar - in this video, I ask her "It's all lies?" and she responds, "It is." But Edmonds has challenged Schakowsky to take a polygraph.

Well, you know Schakowsky is a liberal, Washington Democrat politician. To them, the meaning of the word "is" is in question.

When she says "total fantasy", that could mean was Schakowsky's total fantasy to be with a Turkish spy.

Sibel Edmonds' deposition is about more than just the actions of the Turks in 1915, it's about the infiltration of foreign agents and selling nuclear secrets on the black market today. Now why would anyone be afraid of Sibel Edmonds? Perhaps, if the details were widely reported by the MSM, there would be an outcry for investigations.

Her politics are bad enough. She is for the third world invasion.

True, our politicians only work for the highest bidder. If this story (true or not) isn't proof, one only has to look at their behavior in the healthcare debate.

All of them on the right and left do the bidding of their paymasters!

I wouldn't expect her to do anything. I'm just saying that these and all the Edmonds allegations are fair for the media to pursue. In fact, it is their obligation, and they are shirking it badly. If the Edmonds allegations don't concern you, then you haven't read them. Google is your friend.

This is not about sex, it's about the integrity of our congresspeople. They have NO loyalty to the United States and have sold out to every country who even TRIES to bribe them for classified information and favors.

[TheMikeBuck]

The MSM is basically in league with foreign agents, they aren't going to take any steps. And if they do, they will LIMIT the story completely to Turkey and not Israel. Israel is actually the key word in this investigation.

[mcthorogood]

Remember what Mark Twain said many years ago: "There is no distinctly native American criminal class except Congress." Investigations into Sibel's deposition would only confirm that this is true and that serious changes are required inside our government.

[dogstar7]

There's no THERE there.

All you're promoting is childish titillation about accusations of a lesbian affair. Nobody, not Edmonds or anyone else, has suggested that Schakowsky has done anything for, or on behalf of, Turkey one way or the other.

[dogstar7]

Once again, what allegations?

Edmonds says Schakowsky was targeted. She also claims Schakowsky had a lesbian affair. So what? Neither of those two things are actionable.

Edmond admits no knowledge of any actual blackmail or any other dealing with the Turkish.

What is Schakowsky supposed to "admit" to? Being a lesbian? Being the target of a supposed Turkish intelligence sting? Do you expect her to suddenly Confess Publicly about something to someone who yelled a base accusation from a crowd?
