Calling all FReepers in and around the Ford Library in Michigan - RESEARCH KERRY'S DISCHARGE!!!

11/1/04 | private email

[mumzie]

Do you have any colleagues who live near the Ford library in Michigan? Do they like to go through papers? Since I first wrote to you, I found out that there are there are even more boxes from the Ford Clemency Board. They contain titles such as "Recommendations, Set 1 (Approved 11/29/74); Recommendations, Set 2 (Approved 12/31/74); Recommendations, Set 3 (Approved 5/75 and 6/75) (1)-(3); Presidential Clemency Board Case Summaries (tons of these!!) ; Recommendations for Executive Clemency; Presidential Clemency Board File; Recommendations for Clemency from the Attorney General on Behalf of the Clemency Board, October 1975- January 1976; Recommendations for Clemency from the Attorney General, March 1976-January 1977. See how late it went? As I understand it, there may have been unresolved, holdover cases when Carter took office. (And not everyone was approved, either.) These files are listed on the library site (the titles, not documents)--and may well be public!!--not Kerry's personal Navy files.

I sure could be wrong, but my theory is that he applied earlier than Carter. He didn't know for sure who was going to be elected president in the mid-70's before the campaign. He knew the commission was going to expire. Anyone with common sense would act before the door was shut! So at least those files MAY not have been destroyed....

This email is one kept intentionally private. This person is going after the records of Kerry's discharge - feels it was probably before Carter. If you can help, please contact us, and we'll get the info to the sender.

Thanks!!!

I sent this thread to Navy Chief at Swift Vets.

Funny, didn't Clinton get in trouble because of his discharge.
EEEEEEWWWWWW! I grossed myself out.

Here's the deal: Kerry voters either (a) suspect that Kerry did have a less than honorable or (b) rationalize it as a vindictive attack from the Nixon folks at the time.

The real story is that Kerry won't tell the truth about it, but that's water under the bridge now. It's too late and the American people hate what they perceive as a November surprise. Spend your energies with GOTV.

You need to know that the veteran community will continue with this research no matter who wins this election.

That this is just not about the election, but about convicting Kerry of Treason for which there is No Statute of Limitations.

For further information about this point of view, please visit my website: www.CombatVetsAgainstKerry.com

We will prevail, we will take this guy down. If elected he will not be able to serve.

While he was just the junior senator from the Commonwealth of Mass. he was not a danger to our country. Now that he has decided to run for the presidency he is a clear and present danger to all of us. He has given us the ammunition that we need to take him down with his own actions and lies. All we have to do is connect the dots that he himself has provided us.

So get out there and dig. We must win for our troops and our very future!

You will find that Vernon Jordan (Kerry's debate negotiator) was appointed to this board in 1974 and remained until the board was dissolved. This information is available through an internet search.

I assume someone has done a West or Lexis-Nexis of all news articles around that time.

I really think that a Senator can do a lot of harm to the nation if he is a traitorous sort of person such as John Kerry.

Just look at the example of "Leaky Leahy" who was kicked off the Senate Intelligence Committee for blabbing military secrets. Kerry is also on that committee.

Kerry never should have been allowed to be a Senator in the first place. The blame for him becoming one goes squarely on the shoulders of liberal media who coddle and hide the traitorous activities of sedatious communists like Kerry and his left wing friends.

Today liberal media hacks are trying desperately to shove back the ocean of factual information that gets out through other means like talk radio and freerepublic.com. Lately, documentaries are making a big splash. Freedom of speech is returning to America but it will take a lot of work.

14th Amendment requires 60% vote by Senate to allow Kerry to run for office.

Does any one have access to votes with 60% plus in Senate since Kerry's first term. Likely in the 1998-2000 timeframe when DD-215 was filed.

Well, that's interesting. . .Calcowgirl, was Jordan with Akin Gump yet at that time?

[calcowgirl]

Well, that's interesting. . .Calcowgirl, was Jordan with Akin Gump yet at that time?

No, not until 1981. Per Wilson Current Biography:

"On September 9, 1981 Jordan announced that he was resigning from the Urban League, effective at the end of the year, to join the Washington, D.C., office of the Dallas law firm of Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer and Feld, having been recruited as a managing partner by Robert S. Strauss, the former chairman of the Democratic party. "

Check this. Never saw it on FR before:

Law School Committee knew of Kerry's 'less than honorable' discharge back in 1973

Don't know why they haven't pursued that angle. Too late for tomorrow, but not for later.

[Fedora]

Thanks for looking that up. What was he doing at that time, then?
