NATIONAL DISGRACE, CONT'D - Memo Just Tip of the Iceberg

April 15, 2004 -- House Judiciary Committee Chairman James Sensenbrenner has demanded the resignation of Jamie Gorelick as a member of the federal 9/11 Commission. Frankly, given her blatant conflicts of interest, she should never have been appointed in the first place.

[cyncooper]

Bob Kerrey is on Imus right now. He is mad at Ashcroft saying it was a dirty trick to use the memo and blame the Clinton administration.

As I keep pointing out, this commission has shown NO interest in the revelation of the existence of this classified (until just de-classified) memo and its contents.

That alone exposes this as the farce it is and them for the attack squad they are (excepting perhaps a couple members of the panel).

They don't mind Gorelick's attempts to deny her authorship of the memo nor the fact that she did not tell them about it. They don't have any interest in exploring the consequences of the guidelines outlined in it.

After the outright accusations we've had to witness being made to and about President Bush, John Ashcroft, Condoleezza Rice, Donald Rumsfeld, and so on, this sudden desire to flat out ignore a key document is stunning in and of itself.

They are a sick sick joke.

No, I want FOX to get the Jersey Yentas on and ask them how they feel now that they know that Jami Gorelick was the one person most responsible for the attack on 9/11. Do these victims feel that they were used for partisan purposes. Do these women feel as though they have been pimped or are they willing prostitutes for the left?

[Mo1]

Does anyone ANYONE? Remember hearing when both clinton and core were going to testify? before the fact..and weither or not it was going to be "public" testimony

Before??

Yes we were told they would testify and behind close doors

HOWEVER, We didn't know it was on the same day as Condi's testiomy until AFTER it was done

[dmzTahoe]

Gorelick knows the true reason for the "wall"...

Everthing Clinton did was to protect Clinton. I suggest that Clinton wanted to restrict info sharing between FBI and CIA in order to protect investigations into potential criminal cases regarding his actions and the actions of his close friends. The "gag order" was Clinton's way to limit investigation into his affairs...why else would agents be threatened with their careers?

Perhaps Freepers can connect the dots and recall what investigations into Clinton would have been advanced had the FBI and CIA shared info. (Chinagate for one?)

One of our Freepers, demkicker, found this in the archives. The wall helped stall this investigation into Clinton. (If anyone knows how to create an auto link to this address, please do so.)

It was always about Clinton.

"Yes, my name is Gorelick and I served underneath that great American, Bill Clinton. Incidentally, my associate here is Irish. His name is Gaylick."

Also, the 9/11 widders get the ear of the Commission Chair, but the rest of us can suck eggs.

I noticed

Did you happen to hear the question they had Kean ask Mueller yesterday about Ashcroft flying on private planes?

It was the same stupid question the panel asked Ashcroft the day before

Here is a question for "The Jersey Girls" .. if Ashcroft and his Department were warned ahead of time about 9/11 and planes??

Then why was Barbara Olsen on the plane that hit the Pentagon???

Her husband is the the Solicitor General after all

And why was George W.H. Bush and his wife at the airport waiting for their flight before it was ground?

Their son is President of the United States after all

[maryz]

Gorelick is involved in representing the Saudi's in that case?

I never heard that she is personally active in his represenation, but her firm represents him. In any law firm, no matter how big, before they take on a new client or a new matter, they run a conflicts check on names of every entity involved. If any partner has a client that would present even a potential conflict, he contacts the originating partner. Sometimes, if the clients don't mind (e.g., if it's a pretty tangential connection), the clients can agree to go on despite the conflict. Very often, however, one of the clients is told he needs another firm to represent him, at least for that matter.

[maryz]

Henry Kissinger, but the democrats put up a big howl because of (ta-da) conflict of interest

I only vaguely recall this (though I've seen references here lately), but I don't recall what the supposed conflict was.

[cyncooper]

Why was that a dirty trick? Does he think the information should have been hidden?

Let's see. We are to ignore a key document that was classified that shaped investigations, but the August classified PDB that was a general document was allowed to be characterized and mis-characterized with abandon to tar the President.

We should not point out all of the mistakes in Dick Clarke's testimony, for to do so is to "attack" him, and his accusations (that turn out to be false) are merely one public servant's valid opinion that will be used to form future policy and maybe make some heads roll in this current administration because that is clearly the aim.

And let the widows applaud and hiss all of the anti-Bush talking points. But when Rice appears and finally sets the record straight and good and decent truth-loving audience members applaud out of relief and appreciation, the hammer is dropped and no more public outbursts will be allowed.

And of course the subjects that ought to get public scrutiny are issues like John Ashcroft's flying arrangements the spring and summer of 2001---even though he informed the panel on Tuesday of the fact that he used Federal transportation for business and commercial flight for personal trips. Not good enough for Kean, as yesterday he proceeded to publicly question Robert Mueller about the veracity of Ashcroft's representations. Yes, that is deemed an appropriate line of public questioning.

But do not explore or examine a memo that established guidelines that stymied investigative bodies from adequately gathering information. That is not germain to the purpose of this commission: Gathering evidence in order to impeach President Bush (as far as I can see. either that or the head of someone high up like Rice, Ashcroft or Rumsfeld).

This commission is an outrage.

[Republican Red]

I called my two GA Senators yesterday to demand the removal of Gorelick and ask that they join with Sensenbrenner (sp) to demand Gorelick's removal.

Democrat Zell Miller's office was cordial and told me they would give the message to the Senator.

Republican Saxby Chambliss's office told me the Senator wasn't planning to do anything about it.

I received a donation request this morning from the GA Republican Party. I wrote a note that said "I wasn't planning to do anything about donations to the Republican Party".

[js1138]

In it I found out that before being at Justice, Gorelick was at the Pentagon, and was no doubt the person who prevented Special Forces from going after bin Laden, saying that the CIA should do it instead.

The guys at TAS really don't know how to write a top down news story. A few weeks ago the commission was hearing that the "pentagon" refused to send special ops into Afghanistan. Now we have reason to believe it was gorelick and not the generals.

We have a mole in the commission.

[cyncooper]

And why was Laura Bush left in DC, and in fact set to testify on Capitol Hill...was in Ted Kennedy's office at the time of the attacks...

[cubreporter]

"People ought to stay out of our business," he huffed.



This just goes to show the arrogance, partisan and pompous attitudes of the dem/libs. How dare he say "People should stay out of our business." This IS our business and it is our money paying for this sham of a commission.

Also, if he thinks "people should stay of of our business"..how come they have been on every talk and tv show around? How in the world can they be on all these shows when they are panel members? It's a sham for sure and they are a bunch of dem/lib hacks...even the pubbies on the panel. They are no better.

So, Mr. kane should watch his mouth less he show himself for the arrogant pompous ass he is. Sorry for the word I just used but I am sick and tired of these losers who are not good enough nor never will be good enough to lick the boots of George W. Bush whom they are trying but failing miserably to crucify.

HA!HA!..Let's start a pool...It'll never happen...too many things have blown-up her ($hrillary's) face lately.

[MamaLucci]

Even Orin Hatch could make this case.

Now don't get carried away....;0)

[skinkinthegrass]

Isn't it funny how things work out?...Keep declassifying, Mr. Ashcroft!

HA!HA!...You can bet, that the 9/11 Commission will not call him again. His truthful testimony has really Screwed/Messed Up the 'RATs plans for the "Blame Bush for the 9/11" strategy

...the Kerry/Shrillary election strategy bombs out, again....hehehe.
