Obama camp requests special prosecutor for fraud investigation
CNN ^ | 10/17/2008 | Martina Stewart

The Obama campaign announced Friday that it is asking Attorney General Michael Mukasey to turn over any investigations of voter fraud or voter suppression to Special Prosecutor Nora Dannehy, the same special prosecutor recently appointed to investigate the U.S. attorney firing scandal.

It’s the latest salvo in an escalating war over allegations of possible voter irregularities during the upcoming presidential election.

“What they’re actually about is the unprecedented effort to essentially sap the American people of confidence in the voting process,” Bob Bauer, the Obama campaign’s general counsel, said Friday on a conference call.

This is quite interesting. So, as Fitzgerald gets closer to a possible indictment in ACORN voter fraud...Obama team screams me too, me too. Investigate...without proof as blatant as ACORN. Maybe Fitz is getting so close to indictments OR a means of forcing him to act....so that they can use this as an excuse to fire him IF Obama is President. Interesting. The ultimtae revenge would be Bush signing the DOJ indictment for Obama, ACORN, Rezko.....after 8 years of crap daily from the Dems. I can dream...

He’s laying the groundwork for this being a Bush/McCain whitey driven agenda to take out a good black man.

Lawsuits.
Race riots.
Chaos.

As Gloucester said in “King Lear” (Act IV, Scene 1):

“Tis the times’ plague, when madmen lead the blind.”

Why would he do this? If even a half hearted investigation is held, it will surely highlight the issues he has caused and condoned..

It’ll work for the weirdos who still are griping about the “stolen” election of 2000.
Unfortunately - there are quite a few of those folks.

You’re right - I don’t foresee riots in our area- but in the cities? election night?
yikes.

This is a miscalculation by the Dems. By making this demand, they are making more people aware of the underlying issue of suspected Dem fraud. It is now guaranteed to stay in the news.

Fraud is fraud. Punish the guilty. Don’t let the Democrats cover ACORN’s ass.

And realize that the Democrats play dirty, and that you have to hit back and hit hard.

The thought of these people being in charge terrifies me.

It absolutely should.

They are requesting an investigation into the investigation.

The riots will be in cities. NY, Chicago, Detroit, Philly etc.... All they ever do is destroy their own neighborhoods. It’s not like the racist nutjobs in Harlem are going to drive down to Texas and start burning stuff down over there. They will destroy their own areas.

If they want to live like animals I say we let them.

This is a preview of what the Obama Administration will be like. As long as you’ve got the right politics, you can get away with anything.

I have a better idea.

Let's expand the current Fitzgerald investigation to include voter fraud and suppression.
