— OK, can you do some more probing? New York will want to know
frank's out today.
i checked already, and so did zurich. they say the question is irrelevant. he answered me with the quote i used, about we knew when he was coming this time. he's been here many times in the past, we think.
thx brad. aptn is aware, but unfortunately won't make it in time, but is hoping to catch tail end.
i'm pushing out another writethru with some more background details before press conference.
no surprise, new york is really hot on this.
they particularly want to know why now. (has he never set foot in switzerland before?) sheila, theorizes that's because they're under intense pressure over ubs and want to throw the U.S. a bone, but can yo ucheck with justice department sources there?
is frank around too, or are you alone?
u can tell aptn press conf 1700 (15 gmt) in bern at the parliament
i'll watch it live on internet

Very interesting. Thanks for posting.
So what’s the big deal?
It’s not a big deal. Just amusing that the AP writer apparently sent her IM messages for general release, instead of the story, and several automated sites picked it up. But no scandal.
Crucial information for conservatives. This could very well be your “buckhead moment”.
Speculation by AP about why all of a sudden they're making this arrest. Kinda embarrassing for AP.
lol, what a ridiculous theory.
That is funny, the Swiss thought they were throwing us a bone while doing this, while the liberal-elites all want him freed. Let’s see if Obama wants the headline, “Obama pardons child-rapist”
Yes, it shows an AP reporting actually investigating a story and following up. Can’t have that.
It reveals how close Swiss banking and Swiss government are.
I dunno, the Obama/UBS angle was the first thing I thought of too when I read about the arrest.
“I’ll watch it live on the internet”
The media writes its own obituary.
At the risk of a getting several more “What’s the big deal” replies - looks like a bunch of sites have picked this up. I Googled one line of the communication:
Wasn’t cuomo going after UBS at one point? bambi dropped patterson like a hot potato in favor of cuomo
Exactly—there’s a lot of weird stuff going on behind the scenes with the Swiss lately.
They would nab a REPUBLICAN if they wanted to do that.
Polanski is a liberal, hollyweird, child molester. IOW, all core DEMOCRAT constituencies.
That was interesting. No capital letters etc., they type just like a lot of trolls who’ve been zotted. ;-)
The CEO of UBS in the US Robert Wolf is a big fundraising bundler for Obama.
The DOJ was getting ready to seize UBS US assets to force tax compliance and so a deal was made to turn over the account names rather than be shut down in the US. It was an awkward position for The Kenyan.

He’ll do a year and get a life-time achievement award at the oscars after his release.
