HAHAHA! POlicy of FBI not going to White House unless accompanied by AG or deputy, as a result of the TRAVELGATE scandal!!!!!

They will be more interested in criticizing Ashcroft for not doing BEFORE 9-11 the very same things they criticized him for doing AFTER 9-11.Bingo. The hypocrites!
Profile Muslims, hassle travelers and read emails before 9/11? (no): Ashcroft didn't do his job! Asleep! Not urgent!
Profile Muslims, hassle travelers and read emails after 9/11? (yes): Ashcroft is out of control! Fascist! Tyrant!

Ben Venista is telling Cofer Black he's mistaken in his answer.
Something in the Clinton archive materials.
Cofer would have to see it to know if he was aware of the document.

Have emailed Hume. Some of my emails of years past have been answered directly by Hume, so they do read their emails at Fox. Wouldn't hurt for others to contact Hume or others in the media about the Gorelick question. Sometimes a little pressure from the public does some good. You never know.
To: Peach
FR is very slow.
I can't believe I'm going to say this, but Ben Viniste's last question was one that I can see either side asking. I don't like his follow up, but his question was in the boundaries of what the Commission should be asking.
To: kassie
LOL!
Trying to keep my composure here, but if I hear one more use of a noun as a verb, (tasking and now PULSING) I go insane! I know this is part of the modern vernacular but it drives me batty.
To: Carolinamom
Hands also tied by the LAW that Congress passed forbidding FBI and CIA to exchange info I wonder how John Kerry voted on that bill? and who sponsored that bill?

Notice, he tried to shake Mr. Black. No one could do that.
Uh-oh. Ashcroft up next.

It is sooooo obvious that that sneering,rude excuse for a man,Ben Veniste, is there solely to protect his buddy Clinton.
To: Peach
See the Dems sharpening their claws for the next round with AG Ashcroft.

Someone needs to tell that useful idiot Matthews that there was no warning of date or method even IF the damn PDB had said the WTC--which it did not.
What? BV tells Black is mistaken in his answer but I didn't hear what they're talking about.
BV says something they got very recently had been held in the Clinton archived material.
What was it? I can only surmise BV would bring it up in order to paint Clinton in a good light.
Aschroft coming up. I could hear BV off mike asking if Ashcroft gets an opening statement.
They ask if someone in the audience has copies of the statement to please bring them up. I guess they just hadn't gotten their copies yet.
Good---doesn't let them peruse to pounce in advance.
To: Desdemona
This Ben-Venista guy should be kicked off this commission too.
He is acting like this is a trial and this commission's task is to find out how to better protect this country from a future attack.

Here comes Ascroft.
I shudder to think what they will put him through.
You know... even when Keery if walking around, he looks miserable. He's going to have a heart attack
To: malia
Ashcroft at the inquisitor's table, alone and smiling.
To: Carolinamom
Did anyone here the response from Pickard about the policy of the FBI not going to the WH because of the
TravelGate Scandal and BV had to talk over it to blur it over?
Hope Hannity heard this.
To: plain talk
