Politico:The Trump administration has hired the former executive director of the Louisiana Republican Party whose name turned up on a list of accounts released in the 2015 hack of the cheating website Ashley Madison.
Jason Doré started on Monday as assistant chief counsel for external affairs for the Small Business Administrations Office of Advocacy, he confirmed to POLITICO on Monday. His office advocates on behalf of small businesses to the federal government and helps address concerns about regulations that may impact small businesses.
In 2015, Doré told the New Orleans Times-Picayune he used the Ashley Madison site for opposition research. He said on Monday he stood by that explanation. He told POLITICO the incident really never came up in his recent job interviews.

"Opposition Research". Is that what the kids are calling it these days?

As I recall, that site was nearly all male with just a handful of women used as bait.

It was another Jason Dore. Yeah, that's the ticket.

(9,527 posts)4. Wouldn't it be less embarrassing to just admit he was on the site?
I mean yes it was a scam of a website and he was trying to cheat on his wife, both of which are bad, but those are still true, except now he's compounding the problem by trying to get other people to believe such an obvious lie?

so it makes perfect sense he had to research his topic
