Charlie Whelan: 'Smear emails were hacked into'

Charlie Whelan, the former spin doctor, has suggested that the Downing Street smear emails were illegally hacked into.

He wrote: "I am not in any way defending the contents of those e-mails, but it is worth pointing out that no one in the media seems at all concerned that hacking into people's computers to gain private information is still illegal in this country.

"When questioned on the radio about where he obtained the e-mails, he refused to answer. You bet he did, otherwise he may have had PC Plod knocking on his door."

As I was saying...

Here.

Smeargate emails were hacked...

Let's not mess about here Paul Staines/Guido Fawkes should be tortured until he confesses...
