Scanlon's jilted fiancee ratted out lobbyist

Juicy: Raw Story is reporting that Scanlon's "thirtysomething" former fiancee, Emily J. Miller, was the person who turned him in to the FBI after he left her for another woman. At the time, both Miller and Scanlon worked for Tom Delay, she as a spokeswoman, he as communications director.

Miller went on to work with the State Dept, where she was responsible for Colin Powell's infamous interview with Press the Meat, wherein she tried to stop Powell's interview in mid-sentence, directing the cameraperson to stop filming him.

Raw Story's Jason Leopold reports: "What many people didn't realize at the time, however, is that during the Powell interview Miller was upset because her fiancee, Michael Scanlon, had broken off their engagement, two of Miller's former State Department co-workers said. While still engaged to Miller, Scanlon had started an affair with a manicurist and broke up with Miller because he planned to marry the other woman, three of Scanlon's former associates at DeLay's office said. They added that the two had numerous public arguments." Like I said: juicy!
