Way back in 2006, during a heat of a contested primary against Ned Lamont, Joe Lieberman’s website crashed. Lieberman & his team argued that this was a result of a vicious attack from Lamont supporters, & dem&ed a criminal investigation.

a Lieberman campaign denied speculation among liberal Web pundits that a centrist Democrat’s Web site had simply crashed because it used a low-budget Web host unable to h&le a volume.

Well, guess what.

A federal investigation has concluded that U.S. Sen. Joseph Lieberman’s 2006 re-election campaign was to blame for a crash of its Web site a day before Connecticut’s heated Aug. 8 Democratic primary.

a FBI office in New Haven found no evidence supporting a Lieberman campaign’s allegations that supporters of primary challenger Ned Lamont of Greenwich were to blame for a Web site crash…. “a server that hosted a joe2006.com Web site failed because it was overutilized & misconfigured. are was no evidence of (an) attack,” according to a e-mail.
