Shumaker denies making fake Schweich Facebook page
by Geoffrey Woehlk
Also at issue is a social media smear campaign of tongue-in-cheek accounts purporting to be Schweich. The Kansas City Star reported in an editorial on Monday that Shumaker set up a fake Facebook account himself. Shumaker denied the allegations Tuesday night.
“I am letting you know that I will obtain written confirmation from Facebook confirming that I did not set up the phony Facebook account as alleged,” Shumaker wrote in a text to KTVO’s Ashley Hoak.
Recently parts of the Hanaway campaign set up a fraudulent Facebook page specifically designed to look like my Facebook page,” Schweich said in his January announcement speech. “They then friended my supporters and led them to false information about my service to my country in Afghanistan.”
Immediately following that, Schweich referred to Shumaker.
“Hanaway then put on her team a lawyer who had been suspended by the Missouri Supreme Court for unethical conduct,” Schweich said. “He’s now harassing my supporters with letters telling a dizzying series of lies.”
The fake accounts perpetuated the same imagery of Schweich—as Andy Griffith Show character Barney Fife—as the PAC’s radio ad
Yup. I feel bad for the guy; whatever the cause of his mental problems may have been, his obsessiveness was a real good indicator mental problems existed.
It's possible there were skeletons in the closet too. Elliott Spitzer had a completely clean record as a fighter who wanted to clean up New York. It wasn't his record as a public official that brought him down, it was his private life. Same thing with Anthony Wiener.
A lot of the most aggressive guys have something screwy going on in their private lives. Such internal tension often leads to violence. I'm glad he didn't release it on his family, but I'm sad he didn't seek treatment. He didn't have to die; help is available.
If he didn't leave a note or tell someone why, how in the world would anyone here know the answer? He obviously was a troubled soul, who had personal problems he could not live with any longer.

He was talking to an Aide for John Danforth and he talked about what had been said and said he was going to shoot himself and did so moments later.
As Leroy Jethro Gibbs would say "I don't believe in coincidences" ...
Yeah, this is getting murky.
