The Abby-Gate Series #1

Bombshell Documents Rock Spanberger's Gubernatorial Race, Revealing Her Campaign’s Fingerprints All Over a Political Hit Job Disguised as a State Party Statement.

INVESTIGATIONS: By Walter Curt

In Richmond, a defamation trial has pried open the inner workings of Abigail Spanberger’s political operation, revealing a coordinated hit job executed from within her campaign’s war room, scrubbed of fingerprints, and pushed into the public square under the banner of the Democratic Party of Virginia. Sworn depositions from her press secretary, campaign manager, and communications director, exclusively obtained by The W.C. Dispatch, place the origin of a November 3, 2022 press release squarely on the Spanberger campaign’s possession, drafted in-house, green-lit by top staff, and sent to the DPV for publication just days before voters went to the polls.

The document smeared Virginia veteran and former U.S. Senate candidate Thomas A. Speciale II as a “notable insurrectionist” who “attacked the U.S. Capitol” and “bloodied and beat law enforcement officers.” According to court filings, it was emailed to more than a thousand media contacts. Yet Spanberger swore under oath she had “no role in the writing or issuance” and never reviewed or approved the release before it went out. For a candidate now seeking the Governor’s Mansion, the clash between sworn denials and her own staff’s testimony raises more than legal questions—it goes to the heart of political trust and the lengths a seasoned Washington operator will go to conceal the machinery behind a political hit.
