Typical lawyer trick: when you are sued, you don't just defend, you counter sue.

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

Possible?

Yeah, until they are caught and a$$'s are nailed to the wall.

Then it will be just a truism that was easily overlooked by accident.

Bob Bauer’s Election Protection Mission
26 Aug 2008 08:10 am

Barack Obama’s campaign predicts that as many as — if not more than — 130,000,000 voters will go to the polls this November, by far a record. The man in charge of making sure it all goes smoothly, Bob Bauer, is decidedly calm about the massive endeavor he is coordinating.

At a lunch for election lawyers, corporate and union counsels and a few nerdy reporters this afternoon, Mr. Bauer, Obama’s general counsel, outlined the campaign’s integrated election protection effort, the largest ever in the party’s history.

A team of lawyers works out of an Obama for America pod at the Democratic National Committee. Donna Brazille, the longtime Democratic activist, is coordinating the party’s end of the multi-million dollar program. (The DNC’s efforts predated Obama’s, having been announced in August of 2007.)

Bauer said that state councils have already been established, with volunteers working with state and local officials to preemptively resolve crisis before they’re unveiled. Across the country, counties have reported massive increases in voter registration, mostly Democratic, and many municipalities were overwhelmed by larger-than-expected turnout during the Democratic primaries.

Bauer said that “thousands” of lawyers were participating.

To those in the media who wonder about the effect of thousand of lawyers scrutinizing every polling place, Bauer said: “We’re not looking for a fight,” he said. “We’re looking to prevent a fight.”

Mr. Bauer had invited as his guest Tom Daschle, the former Senate Majority Leader.

McCain needs to fight this going to Nora. I’d send it to a 3-way bipart board of atts from Att Gen office bedore I’d let Nora get assigned to the case solo.

In my view, what the BO cronies are doing is using a powerful tool called “leverage”. There choices may not appear right on the surface of things but at the core of their politics to move forward in this election is to leverage the “financial markets”, leverage the “social media markets” and leverage the “economic markets”. We see the polls move in his favor because of “leverage” and “mass appeal to a charismatic leader” who has little to no real substance in his policies or his goals for America. American people need to wake-up but they are asleep at the wheel of their tapped out savings, tapped out credit cards, threat of foreclosure on their home and looking for a leader who will save them from going paying higher taxes. What they do not realize though, is that at any time a corporation cannot meet it's bills or obligations it will go into Chapter 11 and they will face the possibility of losing their precious job. FreeRepublic needs to keep getting the word out to America and keep the Democrats from taking over Washington!

Obama lawyer warns of ‘reckoning’ for Clinton 527 donors and staff

Obama lawyer Bob Bauer reiterated the charges made in a memo yesterday (after the jump) that the new pro-Clinton 527, the American Leadership Project, is breaking the law and warned that donors and aides to the group could face criminal liability — an apparent effort to stop the group before it starts, and to scare off other, similar efforts.

Bauer argued on a conference call with reporters that the group’s “major purpose” is supporting Clinton and that it’s “a very clear runaway case of lawbreaking” because it hasn’t filed papers with the Federal Election Commission or reported the money it spent producing its ad and posting it to YouTube.

“There’s going to be a reckoning here,” he warned. “It’s going to be rough — it’s going to be rough on the officers, it’s going to be rough on the employees, it’s going to be rough on the donors.”

“Whether it’s at the FEC or in a broader criminal inquiry, those donors will be asked questions,” Bauer said.

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...

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

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.

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.

This is absolutely breathtaking. These fascists actually are calling for a criminal investigation of anyone who dares to allege that ACORN is committing fraud, despite widespread, documented evidence that they are doing exactly that. I hope all of you enjoy your freedom to post on this blog now, because if these fascists gain control of the government, you will not be allowed to do so. We might as well be living in Germany in the early 1930s.

The whole ACORN thing is part of an intentional 0bama Leftist effort to create massive disruption around the election process. Algore’s legacy on steroids. The 0bama camp was waiting for this, hoping for this, planning for this.
