Gorelick gets 'death threats'
WorldNetDaily ^ | 4/18/04 | WorldNetDaily

The 9-11 Commission member who has come under for her actions in the Clinton administration and for refusing to step down from the panel probing the Sept. 11 attacks on the U.S. says she's now receiving death threats.

"I can confirm that I've received threats at my office and my home," Jamie Gorelick told CNN. "I did get a bomb threat to my home."

She added, "I have gotten a lot of very vile e-mails. The bomb threat was by phone."

Gorelick told the network the threats were "scary," but said she was "not intimidated enough to resign from the commission."

The FBI is reportedly looking into the threats.

As WorldNetDaily reported last week, Gorelick – the former deputy attorney general under President Clinton – rejected calls that she step down from her position and become a witness after it was revealed she had authored a 1995 memo which created a "wall that segregated criminal investigators and intelligence agents," as current Attorney General John Ashcroft put it.

U.S. Rep. James Sensenbrenner, R-Wis., said Gorelick had an inherent conflict of interest, investigating the incident about which she herself could provide valuable information.

"I believe the commission's work and independence will be fatally damaged by the continued participation of Ms. Gorelick as a commissioner," Sensenbrenner said.

"All of the commission members have some government experience," Gorelick responded. "Everyone is subject to the same recusal policies. You could have had a commission with nobody who knew anything about government. And I don't think it would have been a very helpful commission."

No, but I'm sure we will get blamed if she keeps phoning in death threats to her own answering machine.

Does anyone really believe that she has had "death threats"?
Perhaps from the Clintons, reminding her that unless she keeps her mouth shut, she might end up at Ft. Marcy Park in another Arkancide.

And she's from the same party that asked people to "pull the trigger" on Republicans...boy, they can sure dish it out, but they can't take it.

Why do dims use this tactic everytime they start getting their *ss handed to them? From Dasshole on down, when they start feeling the heat, they use the....."I'm getting death threats crap."

So, I say, resign....then you don't have anything to worry about.

Those individuals, who are making death threats against Gorelick, are not helping in the effort to expose her bias. Their actions have made the death threats the issue, not the cover-up of the Clinton Administration's role in making the United States vulnerable to terrorism.

Sounds to me like someone wants to, rather than scare her to step down, but to prevent her from testifying.

On the contrary, PIG, it probably would have had the clarity of judgement you cretins are fundamentally incapable of. Your commission has accomplished nothing more than finger-pointing, ass-covering, and partisan political power-grubbing. You're a disgrace to the American flag.

I would not communicate a " death threat" to her, but I sure see how some 9-11 survivor could!

I just want a commission without lawyers who are defending Arabs against 911 families.

"We adore Gorelick. She is REALLY an EXCEPTIONAL liar.
And you know what?
If we had a copy of Gorelick's book entitled "Destruction of Evidence"
we NEVER would have gotten fired.

That's the point. She hasn't gotten any death threats. They make this stuff up to change the course.

Remember, she is a democrat operative. She lies.

Makes sense.

What about truth behind the murders of Foster, Barbara Wise and Ron Brown?
They mattered less apparently to the media.

This is the last thing any thinking member of the "VRWC" would do. What we need to realize, however, is that she might be considered for Kerry's AG if he wins. Wouldn't that be fun?

Dear Mrs Gorelick.

We at the FBI would be more than happy to investigate alleged death threats sent to you. However a "wall of separation stands in the way of any potential investigations in this matter.

Sincerely.........

If she is not forced to leave the commission, the complete body of comission work will be deemed totally worthless. If as blatant an conflict of interest as her's is allowed to stand, what confidence can anyone have in the commission.

It would be interesting to know just who made that phone call. Say, what is James Carville doing these days?
