First, today's adventure is memorialized in song ---

MIDI - CAMP GRENADA

David Kendall, weasel liar...with your client, you conspired
In the morning, I had caught you...I was very pleased to be the one who fought you

Reagan Building was the venue...outside ambush on the menu
It's a FReeper...pleased to meet 'ya...in this case the good guys soon are gonna beat 'ya

$1.6 mil you've been hiding...with some crooks you have been siding
"That is false," you're sternly saying...then you quickly walked away without delaying

Are there comments...don't be shy now...your B.S., sir, will not fly now
There was notice you were given...there's bad news 'cause unlike Vince, Peter's still livin'

In the lobby your were sitting...you are doing evil's bidding
Can't you see...that if the truth prevails, the truth is gonna set you free
How do you live with the lying...when will you stop truth defying
Hillary...will take you down, 'cause sleep with dogs and you get fleas

Wait a minute, Mr. Sleazy...you had gotten off too easy
In the lobby, one more FReeping...it will be a memory that is worth keeping

In your face I would be getting...I want answers...I'm not kidding
Sir, your client is a cheater...on my cell phone would you like to speak with Peter

====================================================================

ORAL ARGUMENTS, California Appellate Court

The adventure began with a 5:00 AM alarm buzzer. An unnamed Freeper, hereinafter referred to as "UF," met me at the Upland Metrolink station, and we headed into Los Angeles on the 6:41 AM train. That is the same train that daughter of DFU took for three years when she attended the Los Angeles County High School for the Arts. Those who have kids know how fast they grow up.

After arriving at Union Station, we took a short cab ride to the Reagan Building at 300 S. Spring. The driver was extremely defensive when we questioned why he was getting on the buy freeway for the very short trip. He was insulted enough to say that he would get off the freeway if we wanted but he is the one who knows what he is doing. Nevertheless, on a $4.80 fare, he got a $3 tip. We right wingers are just too generous.

We arrived at the Reagan Building at about 8:10. We were very early, but I didn't want to miss Kendall. When would there be another opportunity?

I was on hold to speak with Doug McIntyre on KABC, but then I spotted him and hung up on the talk show. There was Kendall by himself. I quickly took UF's tape recorder over and approached Kendall. UF was taking pictures. I introduced myself as Doug (plus real last name -- no, my last name is not really fromUpland) from FreeRepublic.com and shook his hand. Then I told him that I had seen a copy of the July 11, 2001 proof of service when he accepted Peter Paul's lawsuit on behalf of his client, Hillary Clinton. Then I asked him why, when Peter provided proof of $1.6 million of expenses with checks, bank statements, and invoices, why his client allowed a fraudulent FEC filing to be reported on July 30. He immediately shot back very emphatically -- THAT'S FALSE AND I HAVE NOTHING MORE TO SAY. He moved to the entrance very quickly.

Unfortunately the POS recorder given to me by UF did not function, so we didn't have audio. But we have some photos.

After going through the metal detector and being relieved that the metal plate in my head did not set it off, we were suprised to see Kendall in the lobby on a tile bench. He was about 30 feet away and facing the other way. UF put some new batteries in the POS recorder, and we were contemplating the next move. No pictures, by the way, were allowed inside the building.

I called Peter on the phone and decided it just had to be done. With Peter on the phone, I walked over to Kendall and said, "Excuse me again, Mr. Kendall, but this recorder did not work outside. Can you give me a comment on the $1.6 million and the fraudulent FEC report? He was not pleased and said he already told me that he had no comment and he was busy preparing for his case. He wanted me gone. Well, when would I get another opportunity like this? I tried to hand him my cell phone and asked if he would like to say hi to Peter Paul. He was getting more perturbed, and I wondered if soon he would call a guard to come to his rescue. On the phone, Peter was laughing his *ss off.

Unfortunately, UF's POS tape recorder did not work. Rosemary Woods and the 17-minute gap immediately came to mind. UF said that he was tempted to take the POS recorder and smash it against the wall, but he refrained.

Kendall spent some more time preparing, then he started reading the paper. I wondered if he was reading about Hillary coming back to Hollywood, the scene of the crime to rake in more bucks. It was ironic that she would be doing that at the same time he was in court defending her for the previous violation, the mother of all campaign finance frauds.

Two of Kendall's associates were spotted by him and he signaled to them with a finger and thumb gesture looking like he was firing a gun. Had he been in elementary school, he would have been suspended for a week for that gesture. I was tempted to go complain to a guard that he had made a threatening gun-like gesture and should be removed from the building, but that probably wouldn't fly.

He and his associates headed for the elevator. Unfortunately, I did not get there in time to share the ride up to the third floor. Before going to court, he walked by us one more time, smiled, nodded his head and said, "gentlemen." He probably doesn't know I am the same guy who called him a month or so ago and offered to let him tell his side of the story in INDICTING HILLARY, the documentary.

Gary Kreep, the good guy from the United States Justice Foundation (USJF) arrived in the building, and we spent a few minutes talking before court. Then, we all went through another metal detector and made it into the appellate courtroom. In the hall on the wall were the photos of the judges of the various divisions, as well as those from the California Supreme Court. Yep, there was Janice Rogers Brown, the woman who should be preparing for confirmation hearings. Kreep spent several minutes in friendly conversation with the opposing counsel -- two weasels who represented David Rosen, Kendall, and Kendall's female co-counsel, somebody Norman. No, not Greg Norman. But if there was sumo wrestling match between the two of them, she could kick Greg's butt. Hey, just an observation.

The Clinton case was the final one to be heard. I went in and out of the courtroom a few times and caught just a tidbit of what appeared to be a child custody issue involving a mother who had been in prison. I am clueless what it was really about, but at one time one of the attorneys spoke about this woman, who was apparently somewhat nuts, who told another woman to go naked into a cemetar and bury $5,000. I'm sure that Laurie D. Zelon, Earl Johnson, Fred Woods, and presiding justice Dennis M. Perluss found it more fascinating than most of the other cases they hear.

I recognized a familiar face from the Rosen trial. It was Josh Gerstein of the NY SUN, and we spent some time in conversation. I saw no one else with press credentials. He appeared to be the only member of the press who came to the hearing. That is just amazing. Coincidentally, he was in town and covered one of Hillary's money-grubbing events.

A guy walked in who sort of looked Juan Williams. He didn't appear to be a reporter. Immediately after the hearing, he was out of there in a flash. My bet is that he was there on behalf of Hillary.

The arguments were very technical. Kendall had screwed up by not filing his "anti-slap" motion in a timely manner. He lost in the Superior Court and appealed. Gary Kreep feels that it went well and Hillary will not be getting out of this case. If she loses this round, she is likely to go to the California Supreme Court and create more months of delay. Nevertheless, we expect that she will have to raise her right for discovery. That will truly be entertaining for us and bad news for her.

Last item. On the cab ride back to Union Station, we argued with the idiot cab driver who had Air America on the radio. He was truly, truly clueless.

I think this is a great idea, to hold az trial on the issues of Hillary and Bill with Congressman billy Bob's help. i will discuss with him. Ultimately my objective with teh civil suit is to use its discovery to try the case in the court of public opinion and sentence Hillary to a lifetime exclusion from public office if we convict her.

[upchuck]

Doug do you have a link to the article about this in the NY Sun? I can't find it.

And, as you might imagine, a Google news search on Kendall produces nothing and a search on Hillary only turns up articles crowing about the 14 mil she's got to spend on her campaign.

But maybe the non-coverage is a good thing. In the future they won't be able to pull their, "this has already been discussed, etc." routine.

The Clinton scar on America

by Felicia Benamon
October 13, 2005

Former President Bill Clinton and his administration undoubtedly left a huge scar on America. Most notably from the neglect in national security. Bill Clinton's approach to dealing with terrorism has been to ignore it, hoping that terrorists will eventually leave us alone. I was surprised to hear of CBS's interview of Ex-FBI Chief Louis Freeh's testimony of what he saw under the Clinton administration, in response to terrorism ( CBS News | Ex-FBI Chief On Clinton's Scandals | October 9, 2005 21:00:03 ). Freeh has decided to come public in his new book My FBI and has agreed to sit down and discuss to CBS about his strained relationship with Former President Clinton. How then President Clinton, hampered his efforts to bring the terror suspects in the 1996 Khobar Towers terrorist attack in Saudi Arabia, to justice.


The FBI wanted access to the suspects the Saudis had arrested but then-Saudi Ambassador Prince Bandar said the only way to get access to prisoners would be if the president personally asked the crown prince for access.
Freeh says Clinton did not help him. He writes in his book:
"Bill Clinton raised the subject only to tell the crown prince that he understood the Saudi's reluctance to cooperate, and then he hit Abdullah up for a contribution to the Clinton Presidential Library."
"That's a fact that I'm reporting," says Freeh.
Freeh says to get access to the Saudis' suspects, he eventually sought help from another president, the first President Bush. "Former President Bush, at my request interceded with the Saudis, spoke to Crown Prince, now King Abdullah, asked for his assistance and it happened just like that."

Ex-president Bill Clinton is predicting that the U.S. will lose the war in Iraq, saying "the odds are not great of our prevailing there."

Jane Fonda is being honored as one of the

So who is honoring her? Anybody who calls her one of the 100 women of the century is pretty bad off, in my humble estimation. My most vivid memory of Jane is meeting her one day in Cleveland--must have been 1971 or 72, and then that very afternoon she was arrested at the Cleveland airport for having narcotics in her luggage.
 
A real American icon!

Smoothing Out Inflation
by John Mauldin
October 14, 2005
Smoothing Out Inflation
Inflating the Numbers

Greenspan: Onward and Upward
Denver, Detroit, New York and Home Again

How can inflation be so low over the past few years if we see rising energy prices, ever-increasing medical costs and especially the cost of housing rising so dramatically? Today, for the first time we see inflation actually showing the results of rising energy costs, and the number is ugly. But it is not as ugly as it could be. This week we look at how the Consumer Price Index is calculated. Like the making of sausage and laws, it is not pretty. It will make for a fascinating read, I think.
But first, I am compelled to make a comment on the REFCO situation. Dennis Gartman has what he calls the cockroach theory. There is never one cockroach. If you see one, there are a lot of them in the walls. Observers have been seeing cockroaches at Refco for a long time. When the whole story comes out, it is not going to look good. How you can hide almost a half a billion in losses when going through a public offering is mind-boggling. Refco has had a long history of problems. Most never make the light of day, but there is one that you might recall.

THIS IS THE SAME FIRM THAT HID THE TRANSFER OF $100,000 TO THE ACCOUNT OF THE WIFE OF AN OBSCURE GOVERNOR IN ARKANSAS under the guise of trading cattle futures from information in the Wall Street Journal. The fact that Robert "Red" Bone was the broker for the general counsel of Tyson Foods was just a coincidence, I am sure. Hillary Rodham Clinton was allowed to order 10 cattle futures contracts, normally a $12,000 investment, in her first commodity trade in 1978 although she had only $1,000 in her account at the time. (Someone put cash in the account. Go figure.) And it gets murkier. Bottom line Refco was fined $250,000 for trading practices in cattle futures during that period, then the largest fine ever by the Chicago Mercantile Exchange.
As an aside, Senator Clinton is the only human being in the history of the trading world who could successfully turn $1,000 into $100,000 in a few months and then walk away and never execute another trade. I guess it was just too easy for her and she needed bigger challenges. But we were supposed to be talking about inflation.

I'm expecting the NY SUN story on Tuesday, perhaps online on Monday. It's not like Josh Gerstein had a deadline to beat the NY TIMES, LOS ANGELES TIMES, WASHINGTON POST, CNN, MSNBC, CBS, NBC, ABC, TIME MAG, NEWSWEEK, CHICAGO SUN TIMES, HOUSTON CHRONICLE, SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE, DALLAS MORNING NEWS, PHILADEPHIA INQUIRER, SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER, MIAMI HERALD, DETROIT NEWS, CLEVELAND PLAIN DEALER, ARIZONA REPUBLIC, MINNEAPOLIS TRIBUNE, NEW ORLEANS TIMES PICAYUNE, MILWAUKEE JOURNAL, etc. It really isn't that important. It's just the first ever lawsuit against a former president and sitting senator that the California Supreme Court said would proceed.

Way to go Doug & Blurblogger!

[JDoutrider]

I owe both of you a beer! OutF'nStanding job!!!

[ladyinred]

It doesn't get any better than this doug!

What's the deal with Kendall's lower lip? Was he POUTING like a child that got caught with his hand in the cookie jar, or worse? :-)

[Victoria Delsoul]

Good job!

[doug from upland]

I owe Blurblogger an apology because I forgot to mention something he did that was outstanding. When the justices left the courtroom and the attorneys shook hands, Gary Kreep walked over to a group of law students and saluted the talents of Kendall as a litigator. Then, Blurblogger actually walked up to them and mentioned FreeRepublic.com as a source to which they should look for the news.

[Yellow Rose of Texas]

GREAT work, GREAT read, just..., GREAT!

No need for any apologies, Doug, I actually triple-dipped. I got big checks from Karl Rove, Halliburton AND Jim Robinson for that FR plug. ;^) And now I can send in some post-FReepathon bucks!

[potlatch]

Thanks, those are great pictures!

[upchuck]

I'm surprised some of our "friendly media" buddies like CNS or NewsMax haven't reported on this.

[bitt]

"That's a FReep!"

lol! great job. love the badges.

[doug from upland]

I spoke with FOX News in L.A., and am surprised they didn't show up.

[peacebaby]

Excellent read! Chock full of fact. Spiced with wit. Suspenseful. Leaves the reader wanting for more... .

Peacebaby highly recommends this book, and predicts it will make the New York Times Best Seller List (because Hell/Hillary will freeze over - eventually).

[pollywog]

Great photos doug from upland!!
