US Justice Department corruption in Blagojevich trial, Real Blagojevich trial news
I was rereading a US Justice Department document yesterday, the Press Release dated April 2, 2009, that announced the Superceding Indictment of Blagojevich. I encountered a section that caught my attention as I read it with a new perspective. To me it appears a bit Orwellian, an attempt to rewrite history. I am asking for Zach, legal eagles and other astute observers to read this section and compare it to what was in the Criminal Complaint and what the US Justice Dept. knew much earlier. Give me your take on it.
From the Press release.
“The indictment adds several new allegations to those that were lodged in the criminal complaint filed in December when Blagojevich and Harris were arrested. It includes the previous factual allegations that Blagojevich conspired to sell or trade Illinois’ U.S. Senate seat formerly held by President Obama; threatened to withhold substantial state assistance to the Tribune Company in connection with the sale of Wrigley Field to induce the firing of Chicago Tribune editorial board members sharply critical of Blagojevich; and schemed to obtain campaign contributions in exchange for official actions – both historically and in a push late last year before a new state ethics law took effect.
Among the new factual allegations are that:
- beginning in 2002 and continuing after Blagojevich was first elected
governor, Blagojevich and Monk, along with Kelly and previously convicted
co-schemer Antoin “Tony” Rezko, agreed that they would use the offices of
governor and chief of staff for financial gain, which would be divided among
them with the understanding that the money would be distributed after
Blagojevich left public office; - in 2003, Blagojevich, Monk, Kelly, Rezko and other co-schemers
implemented this agreement by directing lucrative state business relating to
the refinancing of billions of dollars in State of Illinois Pension Obligation
Bonds to a company whose lobbyist agreed to provide hundreds of thousands of dollars to Rezko out of the fee the lobbyist would collect, and Rezko in turn agreed to split the money with Blagojevich, Monk and Kelly; - After it became public that Kelly and Rezko were under investigation and ceased playing a significant role in raising campaign funds, Blagojevich personally continued to trade his actions as governor for personal benefits, including, for example, delaying a state grant to a publicly-supported school while trying to leverage a U.S. Congressman, who supported the school, or the Congressman’s brother, to hold a campaign fundraiser for Blagojevich; and
- in an interview on March 16, 2005, Blagojevich lied to FBI agents when he said that he maintains a separation, or firewall, between politics and state business; and he does not track, or want to know, who contributes to him or how much they are contributing to him.

CW,
This is off your just published topic, and for that I am sorry. This is a MUST read, was posted on your last section.
http://dailycaller.com/2010/07/20/documents-show-media-plotting-to-kill-stories-about-rev-jeremiah-wright/
The title doesn’t do justice to the statments and topic. The insight into the minds of the liberals in the media is amazing; they believed it was acceptable to prevert the media and bury the truth because the alternative to Obama was being ruled by “racists and warmongers and criminals”
What is fascinating is that the Media members hid the truth from the American people, which is morally and ethically wrong, to put in power Obama. Obama has proven himself and his administration to be Racists, and criminals (see your above discussion), and warmongers (Just more incompetent that under republicans)
This is classic “I’m smarter than you and know what is best” thinking. Democracy and Freedom cannot exist if the Media is corrupt. Everyone needs to expose these people and hold them accountable.
Pete
Looks like they new Blago and gang were fleecing our state all along and only moved on him when resident elect Obama stumbled in.
That’s how they work it , pull alledged crimes off the shelf when they need them.
Just to be clear, I think Blago is guilty as hell and hope he joins George Ryan in the slammer.

Aussie, out of all the good informative posts from yesterday Cabby chose to report eugene’s smear. What does that tell you about cabby?
I have never been to Madisonville. It is 150 miles from Nashville so I don’t know much more about it than what other Patriots have written, but it sounds like a fascist town run by criminals. There are criminals connected to the drug cartels running other cities in Tennessee. That is what I have written about.

Blagojevich Expected To Take Witness Stand
http://cbs2chicago.com/governor/rod.blagojevich.trial.2.1813971.html
Last week, Rep. Bill Cassidy (R-LA), a member of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, proposed an amendment to the CLEAR Act to require an end to the President’s moratorium on deepwater offshore drilling. Twenty-two of the committee’s congressmen, including the committee chairman and two other Democrats, voted in favor of Rep. Cassidy’s amendment. Twenty-one congressmen, all Dems, voted no.
But the recorded vote was 22 Yea, 26 Nea. The moratorium stands.
How did 21 Nea votes get tallied as 26? Easy. The committee’s membership contains no less than five “non-voting delegates”, all of them Democrats. So, effectively, the deepwater drilling moratorium that will devastate the States of Louisiana, Texas, Mississippi and Alabama was kept in place by delegates from Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the Virgin Islands and the Northern Marianas Islands.
So over 10% of the votes on this key committee go to extra-Constitutional delegates from territories whose residents aren’t U.S. citizens, can’t vote for President, and pay no Federal tax.

Maybe Blago’s best defense might be to go for a jury pardon. Was it Don King would was brought up on tax evasion charges and when he was acquitted by the jury he sent them all on a cruise? The next time he was charged, the jury did the same thing.
Maybe Blago should have some Carribbean Cruise phamlets on the Defense table for the jury to see.
That about the extent of my faith the Justice System today.

==============================
You may want to consider this for the future. We all know how the loaded word “rape” has been rendered meaningless. Progressives have applied it to everything from violent physical ambush to morning after regrets.
Similarly, you have almost ruined the useful pejorative OBOT. You routinely apply it to patriots who simply disagree with you. So when you yell EUGENE=OBOT, I just say hohum and move right along.
You might consider re-organizing your vocabulary so people will take what you say with more credibility. You have many useful ideas and comments – so, you are only hurting yourself.

The Democrats have enough votes in the Senate to confirm Elena Kagan. The only way that Republicans can stop the confirmation from going forward is through a filibuster. In the past, Republicans have been reluctant to use a filibuster to stop the confirmation of a Supreme Court nominee. The only way they will do so now is if they hear from enough of their constituents to feel the heat.

HALF – MEASURES WON’T WORK AGAINST TYRANNY
By David Limbaugh
“I am continually mystified by conservatives who urge Republicans to pick their battles against Obama out of fear we’ll compromise our effectiveness if we oppose him every time he needs to be opposed. What a defeatist mindset!”
(snip)
“Those who suggest that we approach these matters delicately grossly underestimate the American people and their innate appreciation for liberty. The timid approach, the fear of governing to the right, is always what gets Republicans in trouble.”
(snip)
“In promoting his extremist, no-holds-barred agenda, Obama has been counting on Republican weakness and disunity. The more damaging slop he throws on the legislative wall the more will remain.”
(snip)
“By opposing Obama across the board — on principle — they will not only be doing the right thing but also be rewarded at the polls. Look at the latest Arizona poll, showing Obama’s approval rating down to 28 percent, in no small part because Arizona politicians are standing up to Obama’s tyranny.”
“Half-measures won’t work against tyranny.”

I just checked and found that the Chicago Sun-Times reported in this evening’s edition that the Blago defense did not plan to call any witnesses and rest their case. Blago’s brother did give some testimony, it appears. What are the predictions now?
This whole Blago trial has been a mockery of justice…there never was an honest effort to get to the bottom of the chicago corruption…because Obama was at the center….
This trial will end and Blago will walk…Obama will never be exposed and the US Justice Department will cry aloud “justice has been served”
To that I will reply, “yea and pigs can fly too”.

JB Williams got it right re: the obots who have come here defaming Walt Fitzpatrick, Darren Huff and now me.
http://www.rightsidenews.com/2010071911070/homeland-security/republican-election-commissioner-found-murdered-in-monroe-county.html
” This is the (MO) of today’s political left, as indicated by another left-wing poster named Jean Gibson…
“Darren Huff (a militia member of the “Restore America Plan”) (the group that sent all the threatening letters to state governers – is likely involved in this murder. I have been monitoring far right-wing militia groups for years and have noticed a LOT of threats coming from them and birthers torward politicians in Monroe County because the courts there wouldn’t hear Walter Fitzpatricks rigged jury “indictment” of Obama … Go do some research, you’ll see that Huff and Fitzpatrick threatened revenge on Monroe County. It’s not conspiracy theory it’s fact.” – 7/19/2010 3:31 PM EDT on WBIR.com
Obot’s are immediately on the story and immediately looking to pin this on a “right-winger” when in fact the man murdered was himself a “right-winger.” The facts support nothing they say or believe, but that has never interfered with Obot propaganda.
Many of the insane online posts from Obots have already been removed or deleted from the news blogs, and rightfully so. They are groundless and dangerous… putting many lives at risk in Monroe County, not the least of which is Fitzpatrick.”
**************************************
While I disagree with Fitzpatrick and Huff regarding trying to make ill-advised citizens arrests, I do not believe for a minute that either one of them had anything to do with the murder of Mr. Miller. As Mr. Williams wrote they had no motive being that Mr. Miller was one of the “good guys,” and a Republican.
Again I urge all Patriots to contact Tennessee Republican Senators Lamar Alexander and Bob Corker about the murder of Mr. Miller. I suspect that it will be found that boCohorts were behind the murder. They have the motive of trying to coverup their crimes in Monroe County.
Mr. Miller was probably going to purge the voter rolls of deceased and ineligible voters, and Obama found out.
Antonin Scalia, in the 2004 case of Hamdi v. Rumsfeld, wrote an Opinion (joined by Justice Stevens) arguing that it was unconstitutional for the U.S. Government merely to imprison (let alone kill) American citizens as “enemy combatants”; instead, they argued, the Constitution required that Americans be charged with crimes (such as treason) and be given a trial before being punished.
The full Hamdi Court held that at least some due process was required before Americans could be imprisoned as “enemy combatants.”
Yet now, Barack Obama is claiming the right not merely to imprison, but to assassinate far from any battlefield, American citizens with no due process of any kind.
The Obama White House has now expressly authorized the CIA to kill al-Alwaki no matter where he is found, no matter his distance from a battlefield. On U.S. soil?
Is this Constitutional?

From JB’s report it looks like reporters are on this. We need Tennessee Republican Senators Alexander & Corker and have them demand an investigation. demRats have gone to Prison for much less than this. demRat state sen. john ford got 20 years recently.
When bo & his criminal co-conspirators start murdering Republican Elections Commissioners, it has gone too far.
It is time (while we still have a conservative majority on SCOTUS) to form Citizen Grand Juries in our local counties and indict BHO & his co-conspirators in our State Courts for crimes committed by his campaign in 2007 2008 2009 & 2010.
United States Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia stated in the case of United States vs. Williams: “…In fact, the whole theory of its (the Grand Jury) function is that it belongs to no branch of the institutional Government, serving as a kind of buffer or referee between the Government and the people.”

Post from a concerned citizen (Washington DC CL) Many feel the same way
I am mad as hell about the oil mess in Louisiana because our President did not address this catastrophe with any zeal or with any sense of urgency. Barrak Obama is a profoundly convincing speaker. Yes can he speak but does he ever listen.
Moreover BP was able to get away with not only destroying a significant area of our national environmental treasure in Louisiana; they once again through negligence caused the death of eleven workers with impunity.
The oil spill has put millions of people out of work. Our President had several choices the first couple days after the initial explosion. Unfortunately he chose to do nothing. That is to say, he could’ve deployed every able unemployed man and woman to assist with the clean up. He could’ve deployed every available oil skimmer. He could have removed BP from the helm of the clean up process and employed a company that specializes in oil clean up. To be sure BP is a oil drilling company which makes a clear distinction from oil clean up and spill stoppage. It is likely that President fell victim to his own ego and didn’t get help in making decisions.
Many people are now asking: how has BP been able to get away with destroying so many areas in our country and how has BP been able to get away with negligently causing the deaths of dozens of people, and how has BP been able to get away with being cited for negligence more than all other oil companies combined and remain a vital business? Part of the reason was Barak Obama while running for president was so alluring with regards to the promise of change and the promise that his administration would not be noted for being “business as usual”.
Obama’s countrymen and most senators and other elected officials as well as the citizens are not being heard.
Many are sickened by the ongoing tragedy in Louisiana and want to be heard. Moreover, the press now is joining the chorus of those among the ranks of the unheard. A good leader hears the chorus and takes action, He/ She listens to others.
Hindsight is twenty, twenty and now that the oil spill has at least been stopped and now we can say: No Obama was wrong. We can say he should have acted with a sense of intention as a leader. He could have lifted this country up instead of bringing it down. A leader is not a leader by his position. A leader is a leader by the quality that overflows in his heart, and the choices he makes and by the people he listens to.
If we don’t get this maniac our of office this year, we might be doomed.

Surrounded by concrete cylinders, it is an access point to a government cable. “TS/SCI,” whispers an official, the abbreviations for “top secret” and “sensitive compartmented information” – and that means few people are allowed to know what information the cable transmits.
All of these places exist just outside Washington in what amounts to the capital of an alternative geography of the United States, one defined by the concentration of top-secret government organizations and the companies that do work for them. This Fort Meade cluster is the largest of a dozen such clusters across the United States that are the nerve centers of Top Secret America and its 854,000 workers.

Thanks for posting that video. BHO’s Kenyan activities while he was a U.S. senator were absolutely reprehensible, and now he is sending U.S. taxpayer dollars to Kenyan to influence their voting for their Constitution – He is pushing for it to include abortion. That, too, is a crime. It is against the law for our country to take sides in the election of another country.
Why under the sun isn’t this being investigated, pronto?
GOM Oil Gusher Update
For those who want to really know what is really going on.
Not much change from yesterday. A couple of dribbles of gunk on and around the new BOP and flex joint. Not a perfect world, but not unusual either. Bears watching.
Relief well is better than planned. Tomorrow and Thu will be a busy day with some critical casing and cementing operations, at depth. Risky but routine. Stay tuned.
One of the “documented sea bed leaks – OMG, BUBBLES!” from yesterday is now believed to be just breathing clams (or maybe just routine biological decomposition).
Matt Simmons has been further repudiated. He is now know to hold a significant short position on BP. So you could say he has just a wee interest in driving the stock down. (Number one rule when wondering who to believe: always ask “cui bono?”, e.g. like Al Gore running around hyping AGW).

Whew! This is a very informative article. It’s ironic isn’t it? Here we have this massive security force – another entire world – to keep America safe; and all the while, one evil man and his cohorts in the White House are our greatest threat. Talk about topsy-turvy?!!

As always, the oil update is appreciated. (incidentally, I hover around looking for it)
That word about Matt Simmons and his financial interest in BP is quite interesting indeed. I’ll tell you, it behooves any one to do more critical thinking when it comes to evaluating various reports.
The sad part is that so much of the skepticism has been spawned because of one thing: We simply do not trust our government anymore and have lost faith in what it says and does. Trust is the bedrock of any proper relationship, and when it has been harmed, all parties will suffer.
Query: Can our government ever be restored to the place where we the people can trust our elected (and unelected) leaders? Only time will tell, and time is running short.

Here is a must read from American Thinker:
http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2010/07/stephen_chus_snake_oil.html
I am not an engineer :)…. my degree is in Economics and Commerce. However, my husband is an aeronautical engineer.
My feel on the subject of Stephen Chu having anything to do with the Macondo well happened to be that he should have been kept out of it. However, the great Nobel Prize winner for doing nothing, put Chu who had also won a Nobel Prize in charge of the operation. The Richard Cranium knows absolutely nothing about engineering, and this article shows that the O regime has been interfering in such a way that the capping of the well has taken longer than necessary, and the resultant damage from the oil spill was also unnecessary.
This White House regime is full of incompetent Richard Craniums.
p.s. please parse Richard Cranium to get my real meaning.
TBI leads probe of Monroe County Election Commission official’s death

MADISONVILLE — A Monroe County deputy has been suspended in connection with the investigation into the case of an election official whose body was believed to be found in the trunk of a burning car.
Kenny Hope was placed on administrative leave with pay, according to Monroe County Sheriff Bill Bivens. He would not discuss the reason for the suspension or details of the case, in which a body believed to be that of county election commission chairman Jim Miller
was found in the burning car Saturday night.
Meanwhile, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation has officially taken the lead in the investigation into the apparent slaying of Jim Miller, the Monroe County Election Commission chairman.
Family members believe Miller is the person who was found in the trunk of his burning car Saturday evening, although authorities have yet to confirm this to the public. Law enforcement are awaiting the results of an autopsy to confirm the identity.
A TBI spokesman issued the following statement: “The district attorney general requested TBI to begin investigating Monday. Our agent has been assigned the case and is beginning his investigation. No further details will be released until the investigation is continued. Thanks for your patience and understanding.”
Miller was a life-long resident of Sweetwater. For more than 20 years he was the president of Jim Miller Excavating Co., which did environmental remediation of underground petroleum storage tanks and other excavations. He served as 1st District chairman of the Republican Party.

===========================
A good place to start – and follow the links. As far as I know, he has not done anything wrong in this regards, my point is simply that when choosing to be a worshiper, one must always ask what benefit thereby accrues to the worshipee.

“I remember in my district when we were telling people the week after 9/11 ‘don’t go there, don’t go back to Wall Street, don’t go to work’, they were say the air was safe to breathe.
“We knew damn well the air wasn’t safe to breathe. We have 40,000 people sick today because of that.”
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The future or “1984”??
Can human nature be changed in such a way that man will forget his longing for freedom, for dignity, for integrity, for love–that is to say, can man forget that he is human??
We, in this nation, are at a crossroads.

“Millions of fish, absolutely, millions,” said P.J. Hahn, Plaquemines Parish Coastal Zone Management director. “We’re used to seeing fish kills out here at this time of year, but not at this number, mass number of fish that are dying, and not in the frequency that they are occurring now.”
What the four areas have in common is not just the fish kills, but also the fact they were previously hit by oil from the spill, prompting parish leaders to ask the state to test the dead fish.
