Specter Opens Door on White House Felonies

By Jeffrey Lord on 3.16.10 @ 6:09AM

"There's a crime called misprision of a felony. Misprision of a felony is when you don't report a crime. So you're getting into pretty deep areas here in these considerations." -- U.S. Senator Arlen Specter on March 12, 2010

"Right now, they're doing the 'I won't confirm or deny,' and for us, it leaves two possibilities. One is the promise of transparency in this administration is just shot. The second one is even worse, which is either Sestak is lying or the administration has done something wrong and is covering it up…" -- U.S. Congressman Darrell Issa on Friday on March 12, 2010

"The 'stonewall strategy' functioned from the very first episodes of the cover-up. It was instinctive, from the very top of the Administration to the bottom. It was also ad hoc, developed in small reactions to the flurry of each day's events…we found ourselves trying to hold a line where we could." -- Nixon White House Counsel John Dean in his Watergate book Blind Ambition

Here we go again.

Even as the drama of health care carries the headlines, beneath the surface, visible now, the iceberg of scandal ripples.

First, the timeline on the blossoming scandal upon which we will now officially fix the dreaded "gate" descriptive. Jobsgate.

Well, the article came out yesterday

Generally an article that makes breaking news status here is one that is posted quite soon after being put out

Thus the term “breaking” news.

And this one was put in that category yesterday when it came out.

Yes it is important, and will be seen.

The one posted yesterday has close to 10,000 views

I just wrote a five page letter to SCOTUS. Mostly giving them Founding Father’s Quotes but also including:

The purpose of this letter, kind Justices, is to entreat you to allow Attorney Dr. Orly Taitz, Esquire 29839 Santa Margarita Pkwy, ste 100, Rancho Santa Margarita CA, 92688 [949-683-5411] to present her case before the Supreme Court. I contend, gentle Justices, that denying Dr. Orly Taitz, Esquire her time before your Court could be considered Misprision of felony. And every one of us with knowledge of the commission of a crime by the false use of the Social Security Number belonging to a Connecticut resident born in 1890 by one Barry Dunham Soetoro aka Barack Hussein Obama would be guilty. And now that you have been informed, I will leave it to you to decide your own complicity.

TITLE 18 > PART I > CHAPTER 1 > § 4
§ 4. Misprision of felony
Whoever, having knowledge of the actual commission of a felony cognizable by a court of the United States, conceals and does not as soon as possible make known the same to some judge or other person in civil or military authority under the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.

But what does Scots Law say?


It will probably end up being "Not Proven".

Yes, but did it violate Scottish law?

Specter, I think, is trying to regain some credibility (never had any but he thinks he did) and distance himself from the zero administration because he’s losing to Toomey.

I also think the zero administration promised him a clear playing field if he would switch and now Sestak won’t play ball so Specter is taking it out on the administration.

Poor Arlen. He made a deal with the devil and the devil turned around and stabbed him in the back.

Perhaps “LATE BREAKING”?

:^)

I’m glad these threads are receiving a lot of attention.

Or was he talking about the sestak scandal?

Or was he taking about his part in the JFK assassination cover up?

I couldn’t tell you, but it will be interesting. I can only hope that heads in the WH will role. I’m not optimistic.

is he being yet again the dutiful globalist stooge . . . and they have decided to flush OThuga in the not too distant future?

Sestak has the look of another Rahm pseudo-Blue Dog, so Specter, being a self-consequent idiot, would presume the Black House wants to replace Specter with Sestak. So Arlen whines to the Black House, and a political fixer makes a call to Sestak to drop out. But Sestak reasonably thinks he'd be a better DemonRat than Sphincter would any day, so he's going to hang tough.

These guys, when they're in Political Mode, apparently don't even think in terms of criminal law anyway and have to have some lawyer on staff remind them when taking the money would "expose" them to "some liability".

I think I trust Specter more than McCain or Graham-nesty. How screwed up is that?
