HARRINGTON, MAZZEO CLASH AGAIN: ‘I AM NOT HAVING THIS CONVERSATION WITH YOU’

PLANET VALENTI NEWS AND COMMENTARY

(FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE, MONDAY OCT. 15, 2018) — When THE PLANET broke the story about Andrea Harrington’s September, post-victory phone call to Melissa Mazzeo, in which Mazzeo says the would-be district attorney threatened her, people wondered why the local mainstream media didn’t pick up on it. They also asked why Mazzeo herself didn’t go to the other mainstream outlets. Many expressed surprise that other media didn’t pick up the story about the controversial call.

Mazzeo tells THE PLANET that she’s also baffled that the story died on the vine.

“Quite frankly, Dan, I too am surprised that another media outlet didn’t pick up the story,” Mazzeo told THE PLANET. “After you wrote it, I received dozens of calls from people who couldn’t believe she called me and some said they wanted to have more coverage on this. I stated that I wasn’t going to call them but would tell it to anyone who wanted to hear it.”

Mazzeo then talked about the Friday press conference, where Sen. Ed Markey appeared. She had another run-in with Harrington. Mazzeo says she’s “not sure why a D.A. candidate needed to attend a press conference on a cable issue, but she was there. I left the chambers and went back down to the City Council office to finish some work. Andrea walked by and I called out to her.”

Mazzeo picks it up from there: “She came back to the doorway, and I said to her ‘What’s the deal?’ She replied, ‘I don’t feel comfortable talking to you.’ I said, ‘You didn’t have a problem talking to me last week.’ She said, ‘I don’t feel comfortable talking to you without a 3rd party present. I laughed out loud and said back ‘I am the one who needs a 3rd party present. You called me a liar.’ She said, ‘I am not having this conversation with you’ and walked away. So that’s where this story stands.”

Team Harrington disputes Mazzeo’s claims. From AH insiders: “As for Melissa’s claims about a run in, I’m unaware of such an incident. But let’s be real. Melissa has a horse in this race and has a lot of reasons to stir the pot. I don’t put it past her to make [stuff] up. This is their group MO. Does Melissa have a corroborating witness? Andrea is innocent of this and the prior claim of a threat.”

———- 000 ———-

Mazzeo told THE PLANET she had no problem “defending myself and letting everyone know about both conversations. I have been reading the comments on your blog about the story, and I have seen people ask why I didn’t go to the Eagle. I guess I wanted to see if they would pick it [up]. Maybe they will now.” She said Harrington’s “threatening” phone call “only fired me up more.” She also said that as a consequence of the phone call, she has now begun attending Paul Caccaviello’s campaign meetings, adding that she will do “everything I can to see that he gets elected to continue as the D.A.”

Finally, she asked THE PLANET to make clear to everyone on this board, especially “to the blogger who keeps saying that a nephew of mine got special treatment from the D.A.,” that the claim is “ridiculous. I do not have a nephew only nieces, and the case they are referring to has nothing to do with me.”

———- 000 ———-

THE PLANET senses an almost tectonic amount of back-room politics centered on the D.A.’s race, the temblors shaking the 2019 municipal election, reaching to Boston, and likely rattling Berkshire County for years. We have pieces of intelligence from both sides, but not enough to form a coherent picture. It’s like being in a Sherlock Holmes mystery.

It’s difficult to think of the D.A.’s election as a necessary condition for other significant, secret, and possibly nefarious events yet to be revealed (but only well after the November election). If that’s the case, a voter armed with a ballot in November might unintentionally reek more havoc than the gorilla that starts wildly firing a machine gun in that Three Stooges episode. That’s the risk when a ballot becomes the means to hidden ends.

Where’s Basil Rathbone when you need him? Or even Moe Howard?

No. Got fakeahontis from Tuck Carlson, Masshole from a bumber sticker, and granny from Howie Carr. Notice how I don’t normally call fellow Planeteers names directly? Why do you think I support Cacc? I may just write in somebody like Nucifero or Gursney. Based on their support of Harrington it sounds like one of them will be running the office while she is out running for the next big thing.

The American society is up side down with 30% of the population not being able to tell right from wrong and truth from lies. At the head of this this mob is Scump the most deviant and vile person on the planet earth. Scump can call a blueberry a strawberry and his base will swear that he is telling the truth. What scares me most is what are we going to do about this mob after scump is gone? There is a good chance that we will see a short duration civil war between the sane and insane. The sane will prevail because they are superiorly educated and experienced in dealing with ignorance This is what is coming and it is the sane’s response to this monster. Soon America will be great again after scump is gone

BREAKING: Atty Judith Knight has endorsed Paul Caccaviello for District Attorney stating that the DA must rise above party politics. Caccaviello has integrity while Harrington is divisive, vindictive, not forthcoming with the truth and inadequate for the job.

The good news is that Elizabeth Warren has cleared the way for me to contact HR and change my classification to “Native American”. Based on the data, I calculate that I am 4x greater percentage American Indian than she claims.

I think my eighth generation grandmother twice removed was making out with Chief Iron Eagle.

She took some strong jabs at Harrington, characterizing her as deceptive.

“She is a great politician. She ran a great campaign. But she told us that she was going to run the district attorney’s office like she ran her campaign. I found that very alarming because the district attorney is a public servant, not a politician,” Knight said.

She later added, “Andrea can be divisive. She is not always forthcoming with the truth when asked directly. And her inexperience really renders her so inadequate for this job that she will have to rely only on her political skills. I think we will all be in trouble.”

I want the lying wench to: 1) back off trying to take my Constitutional rights (1st and 4th in particular), 2) stop treating criminal aliens better than USA citizens, 3) apologize to Americans about her claims of being a Native American,4) apologize to the colleges she fleeced with claims of minority status, 5) Apologize to Americans for wanting to spend our taxes on criminals from abroad, rather than represent the people of Massachusetts.

P.S. what is Harvard’s position now on it’s faux Native American minority Professor? EmbarrASSed? Indifferent? Happy? Pleased?

Harvard should apologize too, but probably will not. Either Harvard didn’t do its homework to check that Liz Warren really had a large percentage of Native American in her ancestry or they were playing the same game that she was playing which was to fool everybody into thinking that she did. Either way, Harvard does owe the public an apology.

Judith Knight is supporting Paul Caccaviello. Great news! She says this is not about politics. It’s about doing the right thing. She doesn’t trust Harrington to be a good District Attorney. She says Harrington would be too political and divisive as District Attorney. Knight is going against what people might expect her to do, but she feels strongly that Caccaviello is clearly the better choice for District Attorney.

Multiple polls show united women throughout the US ready to bury scump. Scump preparing for huge losses by republicans by saying if they lose it won’t be his fault. Of course it will be his fault. Everyone who is sane will be coming to the polls not caring who it is that is tuning but to insure that there is no one with an R after their name that gets their vote. Many republicans feel Scump is toxic to their campaigns but it is too late for them as it was them who allowed this miscreant to turn this country up side down. I say 36__39 new dems in House. Previously I stated the pubs would hold the senate but now I believe that the dems have s good shot at taking the senate also. Regardless the dems only need win the house and scump becomes a laim duck Nov.7th. Down with Scump. A return to normalcy is close at hand
