Dispatch "James
Fleming denied for two weeks the existence of any
hit list, even though the OC Register had three
versions of such a list. He first had Asst. Supt.
Susan McGill tell the Register that it must be a
list from the Registrar of Voters. (Interesting
that he remembered his Registrar list instantly,
although he later lied to the OC Register and LA
Times that he had ever received
that list.) The
OC Register then faxed him the first two pages of one
version to “refresh his memory.” He still claimed
no knowledge
of the list, and then said that any such list would
have been prepared by me! He had special software
ordered to put on my old computer to find the list.
(Sorry, Jim, I never had it.) He made available to
the media various sycophants in his employ, including
Dan Crawford and Jeff Bristow, to say what a
miserable, disgruntled employee I was (Hmmm, I worked
4 1/2 years under Fleming, and never received any
evaluation, oral or written, complaining about my
performance.) The Register, fortunately, had the
facts and printed the article. And then a week
later—two weeks after first asked about the list—lo
and behold the good Dr. Fleming issues reams of paper
worthy of Rube Goldberg to explain that the list was
all part of a hacking investigation. Of course! Just
slipped his mind. How risible! To conduct a hacking
probe, you don’t need to compile an extensive list of
150 parent names, including the schools attended by
their kids and replete with special notations on 40
of the individuals. And Fleming
still hasn’t
said who created the list, which he now admits was in
his possession. “Journalist” Kutnick conveniently
glides over the fact that Fleming ordered me to
withhold the list from Kevin Murphy, as well as a
memo to Fleming from security director Ed Kovac,
despite the fact that they were public documents from
files in Fleming’s office."
