Mark Sanford: Fatal Attraction?
I don't know why other news outlets don't seem to be picking this up yet, perhaps because it's a holiday, but this seems like a serious story to me:
Governor Threatened Over Emails?
Buenos Aires (WLTX) - According to McClatchy Newspapers, there is word from Argentina that Governor Sanford was being threatened over emails that he sent to his mistress. A report on McClatchey's website says a television anchor in Argentina claims that Maria Chapur and Governor Sanford received an e-mail threat from the person who hacked into her hotmail account. Eduardo Feinmann, who worked with Chapur, says a member of Chapur's family told him of the threats. He said the unidentified person warned both Sanford and Chapur that "you don't know who you are messing with." Feinmann says the e-mails threatening the couple arrived before Christmas, but he's not sure how they responded. On December 30th of last year, the hacker sent the steamy e-mails between Chapur and the Governor to The State Newspaper. Sanford's spokesman Joel Sawyer declined to comment on this latest report.
HUH?
Sanford, lover received threat, journalist says
RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil— An Argentine television anchor, the only journalist known to have spoken with Gov. Mark Sanford’s Argentine lover since news of their affair broke, says the couple received an e-mail threat. The threat came from the person Maria Belen Chapur says hacked into her Hotmail account. Asked twice this week if Sanford had been threatened because of the e-mails, the governor’s spokesman said — both times — “No comment.”
