GOP Senator Mitch McConnell Lies To Reporter

McConnell knew of e-mails about boy: "Hebert asked the senator whether his office was attempting to get reporters to look into Frost's background. 'No,' McConnell answered.

The senator was then asked, 'What was the deal with the e-mail from your staffer?' McConnell replied: 'There was no involvement whatsoever.' "...

Teaching point: That was the 'lying' part.

..."The initial e-mails sent by Stewart were aimed at alerting reporters that bloggers were raising questions about the boy, Graeme Frost of Baltimore, and his family's financial circumstances..."

"...Stewart said he informed McConnell of his personal role in the matter around Thursday."
