Congresswoman Accused of Lesbian Affair With A Spy

Democratic Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky did nothing wrong, except maybe cheat on her husband. But she's about to go through one of the most bizarre scandals in years-- if this story grows some legs, that is...

Gawker relates a tale from the pages of American Conservative that read like something out of internal KGB memos from the Cold War. In an interview with Sibel Edmonds, a former translator for the FBI who was fired for being a lousy, no-good, truth-telling whistleblower, Edmonds reveals:

1. Schakowsky was shadowed by Turkish intelligence agents, who discovered she was a married bisexual.

2. The Turks assigned a sexy female spy to befriend the Congresswoman, attend her mother's funeral, and seduce Schakowsky.

3. Cameras set up in the Illinois lady's residence were said to have recorded sexual acts, which were then used to blackmail her. It's unclear if these efforts were successful or what exactly the Turkish lobby allegedly wanted in exchange for silence, but what they wanted was definitely illegal:

The reason for attempting to get at Schakowsky, Edmonds believes, is so that they would be able to get both her "and her husband Robert Creamer to perform certain illegal operational facilitations for them in Illinois," along with [Republican Speaker of the House Dennis] Hastert, who was already on the payroll, and several other Chicago officials.

You are right to be totally creeped out by these allegations. And that's before you hear about the State Department employees being recruited to hand over nuclear secrets.
