From FoxNews Channel - Hannity and Colmes 4-14-2004

Dick Morris: This woman [Gorelick] is bad news. She RAN the Justice Department for three years. Reno was a FIGUREHEAD during that period. And it was her invention to setup this WALL separating investigators from intelligence gatherers. So when Zacharias Moussaui was arrested in Minneapolis for taking flight lessons, I write about this in "Off with Their Heads", the prosecutors were going after him on an immigration violation. And they couldn't let the intelligence types look at his computer, which had the NAMES and the FLIGHT SCHOOLS of the 9/11 hijackers, listed there.

And then the Supreme Court ruled that Gorelick's rule, was unnecessary. They overturned it. So THIS woman is MORE responsible than ANYBODY for 9/11 going undetected.

Alan Colmes: ...[but] she DID recuse herself from cross-examining some of the law enforcement and intelligence officials...

Morris: I want to repeat what I just said. Of ALL of the public officials in the Clinton administration, and the Bush administration, the ONE who is MOST directly responsible, in my judgement, for 9/11 happening, is Jamie Gorelick.

Colmes: You like pointing fingers, huh.

Sean Hannity: We ought to put HER under oath. THAT'S what ought to happen!

Morris: That WALL of separation was SO DESTRUCTIVE.

Gore Lick (should be called Clint Lick) is Bilk Linton's plant on the commish. This is how he does things. He always makes sure the investigative and enforcement decks are stacked in his favor.
Why this time? So his "legacy" would not be sullied by culpability in the runup to 9/11. He's very meticulous; and he could not have made a more shrewd choice than Gore Lick. It keeps him on the offensive and prevents her from having to testify.

[swheats]

You say boundaries, I say wall lets just call the whole thing off.

Must be working from that Clinton dictionary again.

[MamaLucci]

So, Clinton's Deputy Director of the FBI lays the wall at Jamie Gorelicks feet...................if she won't resign, she needs to be called to testify UNDER OATH , as a sitting commissioner. I will be calling Capitol Hill in the morning.

[HaveGunWillTravel]

As far as Gore-Lick is concerned, you need a wall between the FBI and CIA but sitting on a commission that is investigating your own policies is perfectly fine.

[MamaLucci]

"Despite expression of these concerns by FBI executive management, Attorney General Reno and her Deputy Jamie Gorelick believed that a law enforcement approach was appropriate," the notes say.

The more I read of this $hit, the more my blood boils!
Gorelick and Reno were practically joined at the hip....
partners in crime, if you will.
TOGETHER, according to Clinton's #2 at FBI, Reno and Gorelick
pursued the "law enforcement" approach to terrorism,
and it was, as we all now know, the WRONG approach.
The idea that the infirm Reno would be called as a witness,
while her Deputy Attorney General SITS ON THE COMMISSION
tasked with investigating the causes of 911, is ludicrous on it's face!
What's more, the politicians, bureacrats and lawyers
that make up the rest of the commission should be
embarrassed for allowing such a glaring conflict to have ever existed
in the first place.

"Look: In my view, if we could have lowered that wall sooner, we should have," she told Mr. Matthews. But that was not what she was saying around the time she wrote her memo.

This sickening liar Gorelick aided and abetted the terrorist murder of 3,000 American citizens.

SO, WHEN WILL SHE TESTIFY IN PUBLIC HEARINGS BEFORE THE COMMISSION???

According to a summary of that interview obtained by The Washington Times

"Obtained," eh? Despite the passive voice, clearly someone on the Commission, or staff, provided this to the WT, precisely because it would be damaging to Gorelick. There have been reports that Kean asked Gorelick to step down, and that she refused. Is this leak, then, possibly part of Kean's own campaign to force her off, or has someone else with more testicular fortitude done this? (Lehman?) Is there more damaging information yet to come if Gorelick remains intransigent?

Everyone should write a letter to the 9-11 Commission and send it today. Here's mine from yesterday: (sorry I've posted this a few times elsewhere on FR but I hope to move others to action).

April 18, 2004

National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States
Washington Office: Tel: (202) 331-4060 Fax: (202) 296-5545
New York Office: Tel: (212) 264-1505 Fax: (212) 264-1595

To: The Commission Leadership
CC: Ms. Jamie Gorelick, Commission Member (also high-ranking member of previous Administration)

Dear Commissioners:

I have been disturbed by the revelations of this past week that Ms. Gorelick deliberately withheld specific information about her past responsibilities from the people that appointed the people to this commission.

Her job title alone should have been enough to disqualify her, it is apparent that she was in a position of very high power within the Administration just previous to the present one. It is also readily apparent that she is tightly related to many members of the previous Administration—many of whom were held over by the Bush Administration to maintain a level of continuity on these important tasks.

Her letter in the Washington Post this morning raises more questions than it resolves, making it obvious why Ms. Gorelick must not remain on this Commission and must be a Witness. It is readily apparent that:

Ms. Gorelick is unable to impartially judge people that she knew closely and worked with.

Ms. Gorelick will be unable to impartially judge people she worked for.

Ms. Gorelick never belonged on this Commission and does not belong on this commission now.

The fact that she had to write her letter for the Washington Post to defend herself is proof that the Commission is tainted beyond repair by her continued presence. It is also proof that she is under great pressure to do the right thing.

This is not a witch-hunt that is bringing her demise even though that is what will be reported by the partisan press. This is a basic question of fairness and conflict of interest. When she is removed, I hope that Commission leaders will keep this in mind as they announce this to the world. To suggest that this was in any way partisan or a political witch hunt or McCarthyism will only serve to further taint the Commission.

Did Ms. Gorelick disclose to any of you that she was so tightly involved in the “Wall” or that she prepared and signed the memo adding to it, or did you find that out from Mr. Ashcroft like the rest of us? Was she forthcoming that she might be an important witness before the Commission? Did she ever object to being named and have to be talked into it?

It is past time for Ms. Gorelick to do the right thing and resign. She should have refused service when asked but she didn’t so now it up to her to fix the situation or have it fixed for her.

Ms. Gorelick is knowledgeable about Conflicts of Interest. It is my understanding that she wrote a book on this very subject. Her continued presence can only mean that she is trying to make sure that the previous Administration is not examined fairly. Or she is afraid of being a witness and this is her best defense.

With her biased perspective removed, maybe the Commission can continue your work to help prevent the next 9-11. That is the important reason to be doing this now (while we are still fighting this War)—isn’t it?

If your purpose is instead to provide political ammunition for campaigning, then I can see why multiple TV appearances on cable and network news and opinion shows by all the members of the Commission would be a wise strategy. But, if you are trying to prevent the next 9-11, as charged, then you should stay away from the TV cameras and the easy sound-bites.

Once Ms. Gorelick resigns, or is forcibly removed from this Commission if she refuses to do the honorable thing, then she needs to be called as a Witness. I would also like to see her explain why she hid her previous activities from the people who appointed her.

All across America, people have seen what a partisan circus many aspects of this Commission have become. In this one area, you need to take steps to reduce this perception—remove Ms. Gorelick and call her to testify.

Sincerely,
A concerned American

The notes show that concerns about Ms. Gorelick's impartiality on the commission were raised months before House Judiciary Committee Chairman F. James Sensenbrenner Jr., Wisconsin Republican, called for her resignation last week.

It seems so obvious that Gorelick was in a high position and would have a conflict of interest. It certainly doesn't take an investigative journalist to look at a resume that shows Gorelick was a high level official in the Clinton admin. And that Janet Reno would be a witness, someone that she worked for directly.

Of all the people they could have picked, how did she end up on the panel. Someone from the GOP should have been raising concerns about this from Day One.

[gunnedah]

The name itself should have given ger away- Gore- Lick!
Hell I am beginning to think the Republicans in Washington are against Bush.
I guess the old saying of no honor among thieves is really correct.
This commission has been a waste of American resources and has show our system for what it is.

[Just mythoughts]

"According to the commission guidelines on recusals: "Commissioners and staff will recuse themselves from investigating work they performed in prior government service."
The rules also state: "Where a commissioner or staff member has a close personal relationship with an individual, or either supervised or was supervised by an individual, the commissioner or staff member should not play a primary role in the Commission interview of that person." "


Well well, another case of situation ethics. MZ. Gorelick has hoodwinked "The Commission", The Congress, and attempted to seduce a whole nation.

Gorelick once again breaking rules, not one word this Clintonite says can be believed. "The Commission" is a hoax and is making no attempts to hide their purpose.

[martin gibson]

This is LIE!!!! NPR explained today how the venom spewing John Ashcroft falsely accused and viciously slandered the gentle Ms. Gorelick in his self-serving 'testimony' before the 9-11 commission.

This morning's NPR went on to explain how the signed and initialed 'wall' memo was actually written by Ronald Reagan and how the gentle Ms. Gorelick has received 'death threats' after being smeared by hate-radio's vitriol spewing Rush Limbaugh.

[PGalt]

...against all enemies, foreign and domestic. Thank you Mr. Ashcroft.

[xzins]

At this point, it might be best to complain about Jamieel alGore-Lick, but not to take any serious steps to remove her. Her presence discredits the entire commission, it demonstrates beyond doubt that it is a partisan body, and it proves that any conclusions they reach are totally untrustworthy.

This commission is a joke.

That should be the talking point.

For Pete's sake, she is part of the law firm that is representing the Saudis who are being sued for damages by the 9/11 families. THAT ALONE should have disqualified her for this commission.

Even Clinton staffers know the truth

But according to former Clinton staffers, it's doubtful Gorelick will budge. "She's on that commission for a reason, and it isn't because of her brilliant legal mind," says a former DNC and Clinton White House staffer. "She's there to make sure Bush and his team look as bad as possible and to protect the Clintons and Reno."

[OldFriend]

Gorelick's vicious questioning of Dr. Rice only served to bring attention to herself.

Now she has to answer to her own role in creating the climate for the loss of thousands of lives here in America and hundreds of lives of Americans around the world.

We must keep bringing her role to the attention of the public by writing letters to our newspapers, calling talk radio, and insisting that the media pay some attention.....

[tioga]

She needs to resign and just leave.........
