Skully Communications For Harp

Like wealthy one per-centers who spend part of the season in foreign parts, Mr. Scully's home is with Scully Communications. During the political season, some punitively nonpartisan owners of public relation firms wander into political campaigns, at which point the mask of political impartiality is momentarily discarded.

The New Haven Register reports:

“Asked about fund-raising and if the campaign was going to try to get more local contributors - something Elicker [Mrs. Harp’s sole remaining primary opponent] had the most success with - campaign spokesman Patrick Scully said they weren’t going to let Elicker ‘dictate’ their fund-raising strategy.

“’We’re going to raise money the best way we can, not restricted to one way or the other,’ he said. Scully said to suggest that Harp will owe something to contributors, that has never happened in her long political career.

Nice to have all this attention paid to Christ so near to Easter.

Was Murphy commissioned by proper authorities to participate in the meeting, or was he freelancing? If the former, there is no problem. If the latter, Murphy was courting political disaster. “Such a meeting,” Hemingway wrote at the time, “would mean Murphy had done the type of secret coordination with foreign leaders to potentially undermine the U.S. government that he accused Trump officials of doing as they prepared for Trump’s administration. In February 2017, Murphy demanded investigations of National Security Advisor Mike Flynn because he had a phone call with his counterpart-to-be in Russia. “’Any effort to undermine our nation’s foreign policy – e...
