The Rahm Emanuel Connection to the Deceased Ashley Turton

Earlier today, I reported on the body of a wife of a senior White House Official found in a burning car. The body found was that of loobyist Ashley Turton. Turns out she was formerly chief of staff to Rosa DeLauro who owned the house in which Rahm Emanuel lived rent-free during House sessions for five years.

Here's what Gawker reported in February, 2009:

He's the cheapskate of staff. Rahm Emanuel, Barack Obama's right-hand man, lives in a basement apartment on Capitol Hill rented to him by Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro. Just one problem: He's not allowed to live there.

That's what private investigator Joseph Culligan discovered after asking questions of D.C. officials. A zoning administrator responded to Culligan's inquiry and told him that DeLauro's

Emanuel, who splits his time between Chicago and D.C., will not have this low-rent problem for very long. He's looking for a new home in Washington.
The rumors are swirling big time in D.C.  Here's what one anonymous commenter wrote at my earlier post:
Now this gets interesting, because Rosa DeLauro owned the house in which Rahm Emanuel lived rent-free during House sessions for five years. Word from DC is that the place was wired for audio and video. Ashley Turton, as DeLauro's chief of staff, probably wrote the checks to pay bills on that condo and would be privy to "extra" expenses.
