Colorado lawyer ‘investigates’ author of WP’s ‘Niggerhead’ story

Attorney Mike Robinson didn’t like the way Stephanie McCrummen reported her Washington Post story on Rick Perry’s “Niggerhead” hunting camp, so he decided to “use the same methodology she did” and write about her “criminal past.” The lawyer tells Michael Roberts he paid $19 for the records check, “and then I wrote it up with the same kind of strong innuendo that I’ve seen from the Washington Post in this circumstance, and other papers as well.” Robinson admits that what he found — including speeding, and writing a “hot check” twenty years ago — is “normal stuff anybody would have on their record,” and doesn’t make McCrummen unsuitable to work as a reporter for a major news organization. || McCrummen tells Richard Prince how she came upon this bit of information about Perry.
