I found info on Juleanna Glover Weiss, but still not sure how it fits in.
She is a GOP lobbyist currently. She was Cheneys press secretary during the time Chandra disappeared who said Condits meeting w/ Cheney went from 12:30 to 12:50. She is a social diva having many parties for
GOP VIP's. She lives with her husband, Joffrey Weiss at 2146 Wyoming Ave in the elite section of DC called Kalorama. VERY expensive area. The home was settled on May 21, 2002. She is 34 and he is 41.

fallout - how does this tie in??????????????

She gave good info on the exact nature and timing of Condit's meeting with Cheney and that Condit requested it. Her information totally blew away Condit's alibi.

I quote her information in the Alibi chapter in Murder on a Horse Trail.

Sorry guys,
I was running out the door when I posted that info. too quickly....

I am trying to confirm that Chip Dent, seen in the picture with Condit at the Gold Cup (from 2000 as you have pointed out!), is a member of the City Tavern Club or possibly the manager of that club.

I believe that someone at the City Tavern Club would be the one to whom Condit might have mentioned that he was having problems with a girlfriend. This person or these people may have also had reason to be concerned about what Ms. Levy knew and what she might mention to the FBI in her application process.

**************************

Its very interesting that the Globe is publishing a story about the case so soon after settling with Condit. Do they mention him in the article?

The description of the lobbyist as resembling Tommy Lee Jones is also interesting.

>Its very interesting that the Globe is publishing a story about the case so soon after settling with Condit. Do they mention him in the article?>
Not too much is mentioned....you can almost "sense" they are trying to be careful...it mentions:
"...it was later revealed she had been carrying on an affair with then-Modesto Congressman Gary Condit, now 56."
"While Condit was questioned repeatedly by investigators - he was never charged in her death and is not considered a suspect."
"...the FBI has recently been making surprise visits to former associates and ex-employees of Condit's with thier fresh leads."
"Another source close to the case tells GLOBE that investigators are working on the theory that COndit may have unwittingly introduced Chandra to the mysytery man in the swirl of DC private parties the couple attended" "It's not that Condit was involved, but they're trying to link this guy (in the picture) to Chandra and are exploring the possibiity it may have been through Gary"

They then go on to state they are tying to find out if this "mystery" guy was ever seen in the company of Condit. Linda Zamsky repeats her same info regarding Condit withholding info...
Nothing more on Condit in the article of any note.....almost seems "pro-Gary" ????
I underlined a couple of points that I found odd....are they suggesting that C.L. and G.C. were out partying it up all over washington?? Was Gary not "Mr. Paranoid" about being seen in public or did these "parties" only cater to other Pols in his inner circle""

P.S. - A big "shout-out" to Kortnie !!! Welcome !
I am on here every once in a while and you are right about "family" - I think everyone here is fantastic and I am in awe of their crime solving "skills" !!!
Take care all...until next time

Fallout, In my travels (looking for Chip Dent) I came across this:

CAPITAL LIVING

A club for 100 ‘socially aggressive,’ well-connected guys

By Betsy Rothstein

Jeff Kimbell is not shy.

The 33-year-old healthcare lobbyist strides into the Old Ebbitt Grill looking polished, as though he has just walked off the pages of a glossy men’s magazine. He’s wearing a dark pinstriped suit cut by a tailor in Tennessee and a yellow dotted Brooks Brothers tie. His eyes are blue, and his curly brownish-blond hair is trimmed short; it might look unruly otherwise.

Meet the men (left to right): A bartender with club members Jeff Kimbell, Taylor Gross and Tripp Donnelly.

(Above is a picture of the men listed)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

While Kimbell says he has no set image to uphold, he is part of an elite group of young men who belong to the Capital Club, an exclusive gentlemen’s club and a rarity in Washington. Before you think strippers, blond bimbos, hot-tub parties and Heidi Fleiss, consider the prime mission of the club — it’s charity (it reportedly donates $10,000 annually).

Also consider the profile of the quintessential Capital Club member: He’s 25 to 35 years old, single, successful and interested in stripping Washington of its dull and serious image.

But his most telling feature of all: He’s highly connected.

Andrew Parmentier, who heads a Washington policy-analysis team for an investment bank, joined earlier this year. He’s tight with Rep. Harold Ford Jr. (D-Tenn.) and has played squash with Sen. Carl Levin (D-Mich.).

He insists the Capital Club isn’t snooty. “I went to public school,” he says. “I wouldn’t have joined if it had a country-club feel.”

Parmentier left a network of friends in Austin, Texas, where he grew up, and found that members of the club filled the void. He had known “the guys” for three to four years before deciding to join, and he knew that getting in wasn’t a sure thing. “You don’t know how many open spaces there are,” he says. “You never know. There was no guarantee.”

Capital Club men are hardly obscure. Members include President Bush’s nephew Billy Bush, a host on “Access Hollywood”; House Majority Leader Tom DeLay’s (R-Texas) press secretary, Jonathan Grella; John Breaux Jr., the Louisiana senator’s son; White House spokesman Taylor Gross; Fox News Pentagon correspondent Brett Baier; and Doug Band, chief of staff to former President Bill Clinton.

“It’s a solid collection of D.C.’s professionally impressive and socially aggressive folks,” says Grella, a newcomer to the club. “The common denominator is they are forward-leaning, mostly type-A personalities, well-known, well-spoken and well-meaning.”

According to club records, he’s right, at least on how successful they are. Seventy percent of the members are involved in the political arena in some way. They are Capitol Hill aides, administration employees and lobbyists — or they’re working for the Republican or Democratic national committee.

Tripp Donnelly, the club’s president, who worked in legislative affairs in Clinton’s White House and is a consultant to the Democratic National Committee, insists party affiliation doesn’t matter: Capital Club men are both Republican and Democrat.

Donnelly, 31, clearly a Democrat, serves on the club’s board with Treasurer Ben Dupuy, a 31-year-old lobbyist for the National Rifle Association and a former aide to Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.).

Membership is capped at 100 young Washington men, creating an aura of exclusivity despite claims to the contrary. The club has not always reached its ceiling. In the early ’90s, membership was waning, and even in the mid-’90s, the club was not full. Exclusive as it is, not all applicants are worthy of membership.

In recent years, though, membership has boomed, and more and more applicants are turned away. Each year, some men who get married or move away drop out, creating vacancies.

But the applicant pool — roughly 40-50 — far surpasses what the club can accept.

“Sometimes it’s a very tough decision,” says Donnelly. “There are very good guys we have to approach and say, ‘Try again next year.’”

Still, he insists, the club isn’t exclusive and has no pretentious air. No aspiring club member is ever asked to show his résumé or answer questions regarding age, race, religion, relationship status or sexuality. Like any club, he says, “like-minded” individuals apply and get in. Adds Dupuy: “If everyone knows you and likes you, you’re going to get in.”

But Donnelly stresses that being a Capital Club member is about more than just enjoying its booze-soaked parties. “We’re looking for someone who’s going to take time out from their schedule,” he says, “not just someone who thinks the events are fun.”

Dupuy chimes in: “It’s a matter of getting to know us.” Kimbell, who has served as the club’s president, vice president and secretary, says, “Everyone who’s affiliated with the Capital Club has an inherent drive to be successful. I think that is a common bond.”

The Capital Club has never allowed women to join but welcomes them to parties with open arms (so to speak).

The club’s structure resembles a college fraternity — except that it has no house. It has a board that makes hard calls on whom to let in. The structure is no surprise, since it was created by five fraternity brothers from Washington and Lee University and the University of Virginia who had just moved to D.C. in 1985 and wanted a version of the male bonding they had in college.

Kimbell, who is considered a club veteran with 11 years of membership, came to Washington in 1991 to intern for the College Republican National Committee. He spent the summer writing op-eds on why Clarence Thomas should be a Supreme Court nominee. He was a driver for former Sen. Howard Baker (R-Tenn.), who was working at a law firm.

In 1993, Kimbell moved to Washington permanently. He joined the Capital Club within a year, thanks to the recommendation of an old Alpha Tau Omega fraternity brother from Southern Methodist University who was a member.

Today, he runs his own lobbying shop, Jeffrey Kimbell and Associates, and two other companies — a real estate business in Park City, Utah, and Magnum Entertainment Group, a Washington-based company that throws big parties in Manhattan and D.C.

Just before he sits down to breakfast at the Old Ebbitt, he has a cell phone plastered to his ear. The maitre d’, who knows him by name, shrugs and says he’s always on the phone. The waiter strolls over and extends a hand to Kimbell. “Nice to see you again,” he says. Health-conscious Kimbell orders his breakfast — a sliced banana and a glass of orange juice.

Some bonds between members run deeper than others.

Kimbell played on the same varsity hockey team as Billy Bush at St. George’s prep school, on the beachfront campus in Newport, R.I. Bush recently invited Kimbell — the last single guy among his buddies — out to Los Angeles, where Bush was hosting the Miss USA pageant. While there, Kimbell met some of the contestants and recalled, in particular, 19-year-old Miss Oklahoma, who, when asked whom she would most like to have dinner with, answered, “Justin Timberlake.”

Kimbell flashes a mischievous grin and says the women were much more accomplished and impressive than one might imagine. He says Miss Oklahoma, who lost, is welcome at a Capitol Club party anytime.

But, he stresses, she must first turn 21.

For the most part, there is a sense that the typical Capital Club member is attractive, but as straight men don’t often want to discuss other men’s looks, it’s hard to tell whether it’s a factor for getting in.

“No normal guy wants to answer the attractive question,” says Donnelly, a preppy blond with blue eyes who works for a technology company in Georgetown. “But to answer tactfully, I would venture to say that our membership on the whole is a good-looking group, but certainly not a factor for membership, as I believe you will see a range of looks within our ranks.”

Kimbell adds: “Generally speaking, I think ladies believe there are some sharp-looking cats in the club; however, we also have Jonathan Grella, who isn’t afraid of an occasional night headband.”

A night headband, he explains, is “an anti-sweating device used to control excessive perspiration when conducting business in warm cocktailing situations, typically late on Friday and Saturday evenings in Adams Morgan and Georgetown.”

Grella laughs and puts a different spin on the matter: “As you know, I shaved my head, so [the headband] prevents my head from getting too cold,” but he concedes,
“When I’m executing particularly difficult dance moves, it’s helpful for keeping perspiration off my face.”

He counters that Kimbell has been known to wear “provocative” T-shirts. “He’s certainly never afraid to make a social statement,” says Grella. (Kimbell will say only that the T-shirts in question are suitable for Dewey Beach).

Kimbell stresses that looks have never been a criterion to get into the club. “I’ve never heard it discussed,” he says. “I’ve also never heard ladies say, ‘The Capital Club has some cheap, homely, boring, introverted characters who need to get out a little more either.’”

John Goodwin, 25, a new member, joined because, he said, he always had a “great time” at club events: “The club is known to host the best parties in town that attract all the right people,” by which he means “the most interesting, the most fun, the people you would choose to hang out with.”

Each year, the Capital Club hosts six signature parties open to guests. Entry fees range from $40 to $60. Some parties, such as at the upcoming Virginia Gold Cup, are dressy. Others are necessarily casual, such as the summertime “Swine of the Vine” held on a horse farm in Virginia with a band and roasted pig.

Members insist the parties aren’t meat markets, but hook-ups do happen. “I’d be lying if I told you that wasn’t going on,” says Kimbell, “but I think Old Ebbitt on a Thursday night would be the same thing.”

Other parties include the black-tie Santa’s Soiree, the summer Sinatra Soiree and the Shamrock Soiree. The only event closed to outsiders — including wives — is the club’s annual meeting, at the City Tavern in Georgetown.

About 95 percent of the club’s membership lives in the Washington metropolitan area. Others live in New York, New Jersey, Texas, Georgia and California, and a few are in Iraq, working for Paul Bremer’s Coalition Provisional Authority.

Members pay $250 in annual dues; those living outside the area pay $150. Only 5 percent of members are from racial minorities, one of whom is Dylan Glenn, an African-American who once worked for President Bush and is now running for Georgia’s 8th Congressional District.

Those who have attended Capital Club parties, and even the members themselves, say they aren’t wild. “I’ve been out of college for 10 years,” says Amy Griffis, whose boyfriend, Andy Taylor, is a member. “If it felt like a fraternity party, I wouldn’t like it.”

Once again, the subject of image arises. “Most of our parties are pretty nice venues,” says Dupuy. “You walk into a nice place, you’re going to be on good behavior. We also like to think we have a good-mannered membership.”

Speaking of manners, members may bring dates to the parties and nonmembers may think it’s a good venue for a date, but Kimbell says there’s no need — in fact, he says with a knowing grin, it’s far better for a single guy like himself to go stag.

OK, it's not about Chip Dent or the City Tavern, but it is interesting. This group seems to run in the same circles... You may find a clue in the article somewhere.

In the meantime, does this man "Chip Dent" have a real name? Chip seems like a nickname.

It's real. He's a (long time) member of the Capital Club, given that new membership is limited to those between 25 and 35 and he is a bit past 35. fallout thought he might be related to Harry Dent, a politician from the past, I believe he said.

Yes, wave, I believe you pinpointed the caution perfectly. Notice also Zamsky referring to "Condit's former driver". There is no way she said that. They edited that in place of a name. Was it Vince Flammini or Mike Dayton? I don't know, but people don't talk like that. Lawyers do.

Thanks for the info, rd. I should have read the board for info on Chip Dent- I didn't see that fallout had already pointed out that he was a member of the "Capital Club".

I did notice that someone mentioned he was (or may be) related to Harry S Dent.

Art, I Googled Louis Freeh- pictures at link below. He could be the man except that he is married with 6 kids. Of course I believe that there are several men in the connection to the "Maryland Man", so you could be right about Louis.

The above link is the complaint against NE et al, filed by Condit. Listed, were the various issues and a brief summary of the offending material. 19 in all.

The last one mentions Dunne and the info that he put forth. Maury Terry comments (per above) "Dunne is right on the money."

Well at least we know where Terry is coming from.

Hello waveca, the more people posting here, the better.

>> "It's not that Condit was involved, but they're trying to link this guy (in the picture) to Chandra and are exploring the possibiity it may have been through Gary"<<

I am beginning to wonder who started this "investigation." Some anonymous person might get Gary off of the hook? It is just a coincidence that Chandra asked Gary about Jennifer Thomas and then her internship terminated, and then she disappeared. An anonymous murderer could get Gary off. The anonymous person could be tried in abstentia, and Gary would be free!!!!!!

Freed resigned on May 1st the day Chandra went missing...

It is interesting that Cheney's secretary first reported Condit had an appointment with Cheney on April 30th. Interestingly enough, Condit was there on the 30th at the whitehouse too?????
