President Obama and AG Holder, more often these days, find incessant ways to piss me off. The campaigns by the Bush Administration, to destroy the Democratic party, to defeat Al Gore, incarcerate Ted Stevens, Governor Siegelman and NJ US Attorney's Chris Christie's scheme's against Demcrats, before they are elected and after, like AL US Attorney Canary's - all that and more - are all getting OFF Scott Free!
WHY in the hell - WHY?
Do they not understand the consequences?
Can you not see that they are using tax payer monies to BRIBE these crooks openly (see bottom of this Diary). What is it, that we received in return, for clemency of these arse holes? It really boggles the mind beyond compare. Have they stopped what they are doing? NO! All you have to do is look at Wisconsin and every other states effort to destroy the fabric of America. Was it Union's and collective bargaining that gave us our recent great recession? NO! It was the ideology by the Bush Administration, that they can torture, make up facts to go to war, be willfully blind and give near trillion dollar bailouts to their cronies. That is what the problem is. Our side of the fence is actually assisting them, by letting them get away with it. Willful blindness to high crimes and misdemeanors, only serves to embolden the nefarious hordes.
Bad faith acts systemic and incestuous by Monica Goodling
This fiendish Dept of Justice employee Monica Goodling (pictured by TPM left), abused her position of public trust to crucify us at every turn. Eight US Attorney's were ostracized, fired and more - because they refused to go after Democrats as a campaign. Those US Attorneys are Heroes. Monica Goodling, AG Gonzales and Karl Rove - Should be In JAIL!
Monica Goodling recently received another "Get out of Jail Free Card", as the Virgina Bar stated that she is to receive a "Public Reprimand" - "Without Terms" (see ABA Journal item ( here). This woman, Karl Rove and others engaged in a conspiracy to destroy the integrity of the Dept of Justice. As denoted by the Wikipedia thread on Goodling ( here), 82% of Democrats were rejected and Monica fired Leslie Hagen for being a lesbian. The House Judiciary Committee, headed by our own Congressman Conyers; gave immunity to Monica Goodling.
WTF - and it does Not stop there either! As specified by Wikipedia
"On March 23, 2007, she took an indefinite leave of absence.[9] On March 26, 2007, Goodling cancelled her upcoming appearance at a Congressional hearing, citing her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination"
"No Department of Justice employee has ever exercised his or her Fifth Amendment rights with respect to official conduct and remained an employee.[12] On April 6, 2007, Goodling announced her resignation from the Department of Justice, writing to Gonzales, "May God bless you richly as you continue your service to America."
If you will but just look at Karl Rove's history, you will see that willful blindness to nefarious deeds by these gangsters, results in much detriment to our America and any opposing person to their open and/or veiled agendas. Karl Rove was facing a national, full fledged federal investigation into illegal trickery to become Chair of the Republican Committee. Rove was also an active participant in Richard Nixon's campaign. In a bizarre twist, the Republican Committee wound up with 2 Chairman. George H.W. Bush had announced in August 1973, an intent to investigate Karl Rove issues. Then, inexplicably, 3 weeks later, on September 6, 1973, George H.W. Bush chose Rove to be chair of the College Republicans.
When Rove's competitor asked Mr. Bush to explain, he was ostracized out of the party entirely (see Wikipedia on Karl Rove College Republicans, Watergate & Bushes ( here)).
The Wikipedia thread also denotes specious issues, such as Karl Rove's Thornburgh battle over money. When Rove sued Thornburgh, the Republican party wanted him to back off and even engaged Ken Star to write an amicus curiae brief on Thornburgh's behalf. The case was an issue about Thornburgh's run for election in Pennsylvania. Yet, surreptitiously, the Karl Rove suit wound up in Austin Texas. Karl Rove's case in 1991, was heard by judge Sam Parks - who was appointed by Bush in 1991. Therefore, it is no surprise that Karl Rove won. The Wikipedia thread also denotes these key issues of Above the Law mentality of Karl Rove;
On March 9, 2008, Rove appeared at the University of Iowa as a paid speaker to a crowd of approximately 1,000. He was met with hostility and two students were removed by police after attempting a citizen's arrest for alleged crimes committed during his time with the Bush administration. Near the end of the speech, a member of the audience asked, "Can we have our $40,000 back?" Rove replied, "No, you can't." [41]
On May 22, 2008, Rove was subpoenaed by House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers to testify on the politicization of the Department of Justice. However, on July 10, Rove refused to acknowledge his congressional subpoena citing executive privilege as his reason.[42][43]
On June 24, 2008, Rove said of Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama, "Even if you never met him, you know this guy. He's the guy at the country club with the beautiful date, holding a martini and a cigarette that stands against the wall and makes snide comments about everyone."[44]
What many a reader her does not get, is that you CAN make a Difference, if you rally the troops against the skullduggery. Former AG Gonzales could not get a job at any national law firm. He was the one who pushed forward Rove's agendas. When Monica Goodling left office, her praise and support sought AG Gonzales. Karl Rove's disrespect for our Laws and the integrity of elections or Justice Dept knows no bounds. Washington DC journalist, attorney and activist Andrew Kreig, has documented politico campaigns mendacious, by Rove in Huffington Post ( here), long before Rove's campaign against Julian Assange, AL US Attorney Canary against Governor Seigelman ( here)(with the help of Karl Rove and Goodling); and the nefarious prosecution of Senator Ted Stevens. Where the Public Integrity Section prosecutor purportedly committed suicide, once his bad faith prosecution was exposed.
But there is hope, as can be seen, if you follow the facts. AG Gonzales second in command, prior to the reign of AG Mukasey and his right hand Filip - was Craig S. Morford. Almost single handedly, activist Mo Hurley sent out faxes, emails and mailings to US Attorneys, Senators, Congressman and others - pointing out who Craig Morford really was. We assisted Mo in every way we could, but he was at it night and day 24/7. So all the credit goes to him. As a result, Craig Morford, like AG Gonzales, was too hot a bad commodity to touch. Therefore, he could only get a job as a GC for a minor Pharmy company.
Craig Morford was a Rove type, he did try to accomplish the GOP's wish at every turn. He prosecuted James Traficant, and though he is documented to have deported a witness (Okolo).
The testimony of Okolo would have vindicated Traficant. The scheme's to get JT were corroborated by Detore, a worker for Carafo, who went before Congress and on CSPAN pointing out that Morford suborned perjury. Morford did not even get any federal investigation, much less a Goodling/Rove slap on the wrist. Morford also prosecuted US Attorney Rick Convertino and released the first 2 convicted terrorists after 9/11 - in order to build a false case against Convertino. There is never any justice for such schemes! You can see half of the facts at Wikipedia thread on Morford ( here).
Failure to arrest and prosecute these thugs hurts the Democratic party
We are so inundated with bad faith acts by these bastards, we are becoming numb and apathetically obtuse to it all. As a result, they are emboldened to do more. Yesterday and on several website and blogs, we reported the great diary of by noise of rain details - by video and pics - actually being stalked/ threatened to stop recruiting voters.
Kudos to the mother, brave and happy; joining in the battle.There should be a criminal investigation into voter intimidation. It makes my blod boil.
Please read the Diary ( here) and give support, it has nearly 1500 tips, rec's, shares and comments. For this is the trench WAR that we must win. We need more voters, more activists and more DK'rs. Each week, we should go out and everyone one of us, recruit another to DK. If we made it a campaign, our numbers would double by September and our voices would send more of a shiver down Koch's and their kinds spines.
Our Administration and AG Holder must do more. We have to become a strong enough voice that they will pay attention. Instead of holding the annual in MN, why not DC? Or at least, let us start another annual get together, each year in, or around DC. Rove, Gonzales, Goodling and others MUST be stopped entirely. Former NJ US Attorney Chris Christie went on a campaign, akin to AL US Attorney Canary, to Destroy the Democratic efforts in elections and it is BULL SHIT - that our side of the bench is acting as if that is no big deal!
It is corruption and criminal enterprise of the highest order
- with the highest of stakes - OUR Country!
We must stop these campaigns of incestuous and systemic bad faith efforts to destroy our/The Democratic process - AT All Costs! If the heads of state can get away with this in open view, what are the rest of the ranks doing behind closed doors? Anyone who even partially follows LaserDliquidators battle against cronyism and corruption can see (though no one wants to admit such) - that even our current Dept of Justice is willfully blind to extensively heinous and egregious acts of bad faith conduct.
If you wonder if I am reaching too far - just take a look at how much they are getting away with, in protecting Goldman Sachs, Bain, Romney and more. The Department of Justice Office of Special Counsel (OSC) - where you can blow the whistle on government personnel violating the law - the watchdog group within - actually was raided by the FBI. Both Scott Bloch's home and the Dept of Justice OSC's office. Because he Destroyed case files. Scott Bloch received a slap on the wrist also. He has done no time, though a judge has insisted upon it. Now they are arguing that he only gets 1 month or probation. (See Wikipedia on the Scott Bloch ( here)).
We cannot give you proof that our files were destroyed. Because the Dept of Justice never released those details. However, we can dam sure tell you that NO investigation or prosecution is happening; related to our case. Though we have Confessions in the public docket record - to more than 34 acts of Intentional Perjury that perpetrated Fraud on the Court.
Criminal corruption and bribery right in public view - with no concerns!
New Jersey US Attorney Chris Christie also engaged in political corruption as well. Former AG Ashcroft went to the World Forum against corruption and said the United States Bankruptcy Trustee's in Collusion with corrupt Bankruptcy Judges are the number 1 threat to our country. He said this at the Hague. Then Chris Christie awarded former AG Ashcroft a $50 million no bid contract - which is a PUBLIC BRIBE right in our face. You can see the details of such at Wikipedia, in the section on "Claims of Misuse of Deferred Prosecution Agreements ( here).
Not only did Chris Christie violate the law, using a criminal to go around and entrap Democrats and, at the same time, US Attorney Chris Christie bribes former AG Ashcroft - with a 2 stage bribery - (bribing Ashcroft to back off - and taking money from a firm under "pretense" of Deferred Prosecution Agreement - for what and how it was monitored for $50 million We will Never Know). But also, Chris Christie also awarded another multi million dollar contract to another US Attorney David Kelley - who was investigating Chris Christie's brother Todd Christie. The SEC had Todd Christie as the fourth (4th) highest person on the criminal investigation list. The other 3 above Todd Christie and 11 others below him were indicted. But Todd Christie went Scott Free'd. BRIBERY right in the Public Record and we are NOT doing shit about it!
They are doing their schemes to destroy us, on more than 1 front. As is evidenced by this great Diary from teacherken. Who has pointed out that we have more than the Koch brothers to worry about. They, the nefarious Right'us' horde, are stealing our money - in essence starving us of food, wealth and powers to fight them back. The DeVos's, as teacherkenpoints out - are Amway, religious power mongers, damnation bent on making us their mindless drones or Else! (See the great Diary ( here)).
We simply cannot stand idle.
Otherwise - they win
And it is our fault when - We Lose!
Politico bad faith corruption of our processes is criminal.
Letting them get away with it is Absurd!
