Angleton arrested, this time by feds Indictment lists murder for hire!
By ROSANNA RUIZ and SUSAN BARDWELL Copyright 2002 Houston Chronicle
A Houston bookie and former police informant, acquitted by a state jury in the 1997 murder of his wife in their River Oaks home, is in jail on federal charges of conspiracy, murder for hire and a firearms violation.
Robert Nicholas Angleton, 53, was arrested about 10 a.m. Friday by FBI agents at his home in the 2500 block of Kingston. Angleton moved there with his twin daughters after his wife, Doris, was shot to death April 16, 1997.
U.S. Attorney Michael Shelby would not comment "on the nature or quality or the substance" of the evidence, saying he does not want to try Angleton in the media.
The case has generated much recent publicity with the imprisonment of Houston writer Vanessa Leggett for more than five months for refusing to turn over her research about the slaying to a federal grand jury.
Leggett was released Jan. 4, when that panel's term expired. Another grand jury, impaneled Jan. 8, returned the three-count indictment against Angleton on Thursday.
It says Angleton agreed to pay his brother, Roger, to kill his wife, and that Roger would take blame for the crime if caught.
The state charged Roger with murdering Doris Angleton, but he committed suicide in the Harris County Jail in 1998 while awaiting trial. He left a note saying his brother was innocent.
Robert Angleton's attorney, Mike Ramsey, said authorities, displeased with his client's acquittal, are fueled by arrogance in their dogged pursuit of him. A not-guilty verdict in a capital murder state trial in which the death penalty is sought is rare in Harris County.
Despite the renewed investigation, involving a "cross-pollination" of Houston police and FBI, there is no new evidence, Ramsey said.
"The federal system is arrogant to the extent it believes only it can do justice," he said. "If a state jury is not to be believed when it acquits, how can it be believed when it convicts?"
Shelby explained that although Angleton was acquitted at the state level, federal prosecution for the same crime does not constitute double jeopardy. Federal and state levels are deemed sovereign or independent of one another, he said.
"In this case, there exists a substantial federal interest, and in the state trial that concluded in 1998, that interest was not vindicated," Shelby said.
"So, since that point in time, we engaged in this process and made the determination that that interest needs to be vindicated in a federal venue."
Ramsey said there is a "legitimate" constitutional question to be raised about the prosecution. Should the case go to trial, however, a federal jury will also acquit, he said.
Angleton, 53, appeared Friday afternoon before U.S. Magistrate Marcia Crone. Heavier and balder than when he was tried in state court in 1998, he looked disheveled when brought before Crone in handcuffs.
Wearing a baggy, mismatched sweat suit and tennis shoes, Angleton spoke at length with defense lawyers Chip Lewis and Stanley Schneider, listening attentively to them. Lewis and Schneider will act as co-counsel with Ramsey, who represented Angleton during the state trial.
Crone told Angleton that conviction of conspiracy or murder for hire could result in a sentence of life in prison or death. Conviction of the firearms charge could bring a prison sentence of up to five years, she said.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Edward Gallagher III said Angleton is a flight risk and should be denied bail. A bond hearing will be held at 2 p.m. Monday.
Shelby said he and the other prosecutors are ready for trial. He would not say whether Leggett will be called to testify.
Her attorney, Mike DeGeurin, said he expects Leggett to be called to testify, as she did during the state trial. She will continue to protect her sources, he said.
Asked about Leggett, Shelby responded, "This impaneled grand jury did proceed with this indictment based upon the evidence presented to them."
DeGeurin had argued that prosecutors should not use the media as an "investigative arm" to obtain indictments.
Angleton was acquitted in state court after an eight-day trial. Shortly after his wife's death, Angleton, known widely as a bookmaker, was revealed to have been an informant for the Houston Police Department's vice division since 1988.
Doris Angleton had filed for divorce and had asked that millions of dollars kept in safety deposit boxes at area banks be frozen pending settlement of her divorce suit.
During their homicide investigation, police seized almost $3.4 million in cash from three safety deposit boxes. Angleton recovered $1.54 million of the money after settling a civil case with the state.
HPD officers said Doris Angleton was ambushed and killed by her brother-in-law, Roger, and that her husband paid his brother.
When Roger Angleton was arrested in Las Vegas, police recovered money, handwritten notes that implicated the brothers in a murder-for-hire plot, and a tape recording that appeared to be of the brothers planning details of the murder.
Robert Angleton, besides hiring three experienced defense attorneys, spent more than $200,000 on expert witnesses to challenge the authenticity of the tape recording.
No Double-Jeopardy?
Read this and learn there is no such thing!
Seems you can indeed be indicted in BOTH State & Federalcourts for the very same crime!
My question is why aren't the feds as interested in "Justice" for Nicole & Ron. Why have the feds not indicted O.J. "The Slasher" on federal murder charges?
..afraid of the NAACP?
...afraid of Allen Dershowitzs?
It would surely be RACIST to try "The Slasher" in federal court for murder, but it would be JUSTICE to try Angleton again in federal court!
This guy Angleton was a protected informant for the Houston Police, they allowed him to run his gambling racket for years and had millions stashed. I wonder how much he paid the police for his protection??
This is an example of the arrogance of the Federal "law enforcement" agencies and shows the vindictive nature of this prosecution. They wanted her research but we don't know why because they are hiding behind the grand jury secrecy.
They could be trying to dig out corruption in local law enforcement. I think that it would have been hard for the locals to cover up the corruption without help from some federal agencies. There very well could have been a joint corruption effort in the earlier cover ups of the gambling operation. My understanding, from news articles, is that Angleton used his informant position to put his competitors out of business and increase his share of the market. He was allowed to keep the "profits" from his illegal activities (at least those he didn't share with the people who protected his business).
James Jesus Angleton once suggested that whereas a common thug could kill a person, it took the talents of an intelligence services to make a murder appear to be a suicide. Under this precept, which "apparent suicides" of intelligence officers merit re-examination?
Answer:
Apparent suicides, without suicide notes, of suspected moles whose trials (or cases) would be potentially embarrassing to intelligence services. Here are ten examples:
In Germany 6 apparent suicides in same case, Hermann Ludke, a rear admiral in the west German Navy and the deputy chief of logistics for the NATO command, was identified by West German security police as a KGB spy.
Two weeks later, Admiral Ludke was found shot to death with a rifle, an apparent suicide. The same day that Ludke died, General Holt Wendland, the deputy director of west German intelligence, who had also been named as a Soviet mole, was found shot to death in his headquarters, an alleged suicide.
Within two weeks, four other German officials, who were reported to be suspects in the Ludke-Wendland cases, died violently, all alleged suicides.
In France, Georges Paques, who flew out a window, an apparent self-defenestration. Paques had been an aide to nine French ministers while spying for the Soviet union for some 20 years. His trial would have been potentially embarrassing.
In the US, Jack E. Dunlap, an employee of the NSA 1958, was found dead of carbon monoxide poisoning - an apparent suicide (See Photo). He also was a Soviet penetration agent, who had concealed in the attic his house a treasure trove of sealed packets of classified NSA documents bearing on its most secret deciphering and interception operation. There were many reasons why it would have been inconvenient to arrest and Jack Dunlap. For one thing, he was a liaison with "Staff D" in the CIA, and could expose areas of CIA-NSA cooperation in domestic interceptions that might be deemed illegal. For another, he had been the personal drive, and aide, to Major General Garrison Coverdale the chief of staff of the NSA. General Coverdale, and after Coverdale left in August 1959, Dunlap to the new NSA. chief of staff, General Watlington. As such, he had top-secret clearance and a "no inspection" status, which meant he could drive off the base with documents hidden in the car and then return without anyone knowing that the material had been removed from the base. Moreover, Dunlap had other high-level connections in the NSA. According to the Carroll Report, which investigated the Dunlap breach, he had helped a ring of officers at NSA pilfer some government property. Dunlap was under interrogation just before he died. His apparent suicide ended the investigation.
John Paisley, an ex-CIA officer, and liaison was the "B" team (which reassessed US intelligence) had been suspected of being a Soviet mole. He was found in the Chesapeake Bay, shot to death and weighed down with weights an apparent suicide.
Waldo Dubberstein, a CIA and DOD intelligence analyst, who admitted espionage activities, died of gunshot wounds, an apparent suicide.
Billie Sol Estes, now known as the Texas wheeler-dealer and con-man supreme was, in 1961, at the peak of his agricultural career. He had become a multimillionaire and a virtual icon in Pecos, Texas. His success was due, in great part, by his solid connections in government - and one of his primary connections was Vice President Lyndon Johnson. Things started to fall apart when Estes' cotton allotment scheme began to be scrutinized by Agriculture officials. Estes had master minded a bizarre method of having the government transfer other farmer's cotton allotments to his own cotton acreage. In this way all of his land could be used to grow the tightly regulated crop. Such a scheme would have been impossible without help from high officials, either inside the U.S.D.A., or Washington, or both. Henry Marshall, in reviewing the cotton allotment irregularities connected with Billy Sol Estes, evidently uncovered a warm path that led to Vice President Johnson, but also to his own untimely death.
Billie Sol went to trial and then prison, never once breathing the name of Lyndon Johnson - until his release in 1984. A Texas Ranger, Clint Peoples, had befriended Estes and convinced him that he should come clean with the whole truth. True to his word, Estes agreed to appear before a Robertson County grand jury and clear the record concerning the cotton allotments, the death of Henry Marshall and the involvement of LBJ and others.
He recounted the whole ugly picture - from the millions he had funnelled into Johnson's secret slush fund, to the illegal cotton allotment scheme, to the murder of Henry Marshall. Estes testified that Lyndon Johnson, Cliff Carter, Malcolm Wallace and himself met several times to discuss the issue of the "loose cannon" - Henry Marshall. Marshall had refused a LBJ-arranged promotion to Washington headquarters, and it was feared that he was about to talk. Johnson, according to Estes finally said, "Get rid of him," and Malcolm "Mac" Wallace was given the assignment. According to testimony, Wallace followed Marshall to a remote area of his farm and beat him nearly unconscious. Then while trying to asphyxiate him with exhaust from Marshall's pickup truck, Wallace thought he heard someone approaching the scene, and hastily grabbed a rifle which customarily rested in the window rack of the truck. Quickly pumping five shots into Marshall's body, Wallace fled the scene. Suicide.
That 1984 grand jury testimony accomplished only one official action. Marshall's death certificate was finally changed to read: "Cause of death - murder by gunshot." All of the guilty participants were dead - Johnson, Carter and Wallace. The only one left was Estes, and the U. S. Justice Department, getting wind of the Robertson grand jury testimony, wanted to talk to him.
A letter was sent to Estes, requesting a meeting with him to discuss the provocative charges he had made. Estes enlisted the legal services of Douglas Caddy to represent him in the matter. Caddy then wrote a letter to the Justice Department asking for the protection of immunity, among other things for his client. In his letter, Caddy outlined far more than the Justice Dept. had bargained for. In addition to the crimes Estes had testified to for the Robertson County grand jury, Estes listed seven more murders directly linked to Lyndon Johnson, one of them being that of President John F. Kennedy; and all of them at the hand of Malcolm Wallace.
After many months of negotiating at the highest levels of the Justice Department, Estes refused to testify to federal officials regarding the details of these crimes of the 1960's. We are still awaiting the day when Billie Sol, now 71, will testify to these details.
A few months after the November, 1995 release of our book: "THE MEN ON THE SIXTH FLOOR," I received two of these letters of negotiation, from two different sources. The content of these letters was startling. These letters have never been released to the public and since they are private negotiations between the Justice Department and a citizen, it is doubtful that they ever would have been released, even to the Assassination Records Revue Board, whose federally mandated job it is to examine and oversee the release of documents pertaining to the assassination of President Kennedy.
Here, for the first time, is the complete text of these two letters. They will be added to future printings of "THE MEN ON THE SIXTH FLOOR."

Dear Mr. Caddy:
RE: Billy Sol Estes
I have considered the materials and information you have provided to me in connection with your representation of Billy Sol Estes. I understand that Mr. Estes claims to have information concerning the possible commission of criminal offenses in Texas in the 1960's and that he is willing to reveal that information at this time. I also understand that Mr. Estes wants several things in exchange for this information, such as a pardon for the offenses for which he has been convicted and immunity from any further prosecution among other things.
Before we can engage in any further discussions concerning Mr. Estes' cooperation or enter into any agreement with Mr. Estes we must know the following things: (1) the information, including the extent of corroborative evidence, that Mr. Estes has about each of the events that may be violations of criminal law; (2) the sources of his information; and (3) the extent of his involvement, if any, in each of those events or any subsequent cover-ups. Until we have detailed information concerning these three things we can not determine whether any violations of federal criminal law occurred which are within our jurisdiction to investigate and prosecute and, if so, whether the information is credible and otherwise warrants investigation. Accordingly, if we are to proceed with meaningful discussions concerning Mr. Estes' proffered cooperation, we must receive a detailed and specific written offer of proof from you setting forth the information noted above. The government will hold your offer of proof in strictest confidence and will not make any use of it other than to determine the credibility of the proffered information and whether it warrants further discussions with or debriefings of Mr. Estes.
I must make sure that several things are understood at this time concerning Mr. Estes' proffered cooperation. First, if after reviewing your offer of proof we decide the information that Mr. Estes can provide is credible and in all other respects warrants further investigation -- a decision which will be made unilaterally by the government -- it will be necessary for Mr. Estes to be interviewed and to reveal everything he knows about the possible criminal violations. He will have to do so completely, truthfully and without guile. Second, it must be understood that the government is not now making specific promises to Mr. Estes except with respect to the confidentiality and use of your offer of proof as noted above. If it is decided that Mr. Estes should be interviewed, the extent of promises concerning the confidentiality or use of the statement or promises of reward or consideration to Mr. Estes, if any, will be determined only after we receive a detailed written offer of proof from you.
Above all else, I must emphasize that Mr. Estes must act with total honesty and candor in any dealings with the Department of Justice or any investigative agency. If any discussions with or debriefings of Mr. Estes take place after receipt of your offer of proof and if any agreement ultimately is reached after Mr. Estes provides a statement, the government will not be bound by any representations or agreements it makes if any of his statements at any time are false, misleading or materially incomplete or if he knowingly fails to act with total honesty and candor.
Sincerely
Stephen S. Trott
Assistant Attorney General

And too, several of those at the top were not Texas figures, though of course some had to be, like those who met in Dallas the day before the shooting, then returned to Washington to direct events there on 22 November 1963. That would include at least J. Edgar Hoover and Richard Nixon at the upper level, and for those at the operational level, see the interesting photo of those fellas gatrhered in Mexico City to celebrate both the New Year, and the news that their group had been selected to take care of that little chore in Dallas that their counterparts in Miami and Chicago had failed at. I believe only two of them were with the Dallas police officers.
***** *****
The unbroken chain of events which stretch from Dallas on the 22nd of November, to Watergate, the scandal that cost Nixon the presidency. Secrecy and denial may have blunted the effort to determine the entire truth, but it has not obliterated the trail from Dallas to Watergate. Unlike the shock that engulfed most, Richard Nixon and Nixon crony, Watergate burglar E. Howard Hunt, were both committed to alibi or to the avoidance of being associated with Dallas Texas, on the day Kennedy was assassinated. On November 22, 1963, Nixon claimed that he was in New York, and indeed he was, having left Dallas Texas at 9:05 a.m. about two hours before Kennedy's arrival. Ironically, Nixon landed at New York's Idlewild at 1:00 p.m., latter renamed Kennedy International Airport. The flight offered Nixon the air tight alibi that a person in-the-know desperately required. Howard Hunt, who was also reportedly in Dallas on the 22nd of November, also established an air-tight alibi to prove that he was not in Dallas. According to Hunt, he was not in his CIA office in Langley Virginia (why not?), but with friends in Washington D.C. "And since it is a law of physics that you can't be in two places at the same time", Hunt boldly asserts, "I was not in Dallas Texas." Hunt's appeal to the "laws of physics" ignores the manipulations of covert action crusaders who practice the fraudulent art of being at more than one place at a time. Remember the "Oswald double" who has made the task of tracing the real steps of the real Lee Harvey Oswald, practically impossible? The major preoccupation of spooks like Howard Hunt is deception, and their colorful denials are not credible.
In the final analysis the fact that Nixon and Hunt both secured "air-tight" alibies to account for their whereabouts when Kennedy was assassinated, is more incriminating than not. Most people vividly recall exactly what they were doing and where they were when they heard the tragic news about the Kennedy assassination, they were not vague, evasive or preoccupied by the need to produce law of physics-style alibis.
The common suspicion that Nixon and Hunt were privy to the fact that Kennedy was going to be assassinated, is well founded. Nixon and Hunt were violent anti-Communist crusaders with a penchant for plotting the assassination of "foreign" leaders and for perverting democratic principles. Moreover, Hunt and Nixon were two of the earliest and most persistent advocates who promoted assassination plots against Castro, and when Kennedy did not enthusiastically endorse anti-Castro plots or a military invasion of Cuba, they were invariably obsessed by the perceived need to get rid of him as well. On November 22, 1963, quoted in the New York Times after having made a timely evacuation from Dallas, Richard Nixon publicly recognized his anti-Kennedy zeal through the bold assertion: "I am going to work as hard as I can to get the Kennedys out of there. We can't afford four more years of that kind of administration."
While Nixon publicly exposed his commitment to get rid of the Kennedys, he did not say how he planned to accomplish his goal. At any rate, the fact that Nixon did not plan to defeat the Kennedys through legitimate political elections is quite obvious. In 1963, Nixon was the most popular Republican in the nation, yet despite the declared intention "to get the Kennedys out of there", he refused to run for the presidency until a shadowy committee to elect Richard Nixon was created in 1967. Political pundits, experts at creating a theory which matches the limit of public awareness, have repeatedly claimed that Nixon's decision not to run in 1964 was a brilliant tactical exploit. It was, they claim, foolish to challenge the unbeatable wave of popularity that brought Johnson a landslide victory in 1964. And so, it is popularly asserted, Richard Nixon, the brilliant statesman, staged one of the greatest political comebacks in American history, when he became the President in 1968. It is indeed a convenient theory but it ignores the fact that Nixon was not a typical politician but a man immersed in the shadowy world of secret politics. The fact that Nixon was largely a low key behind-the-scenes political operator until the Kennedys were assassinated, suggests that the so-called Nixon comeback was anything but legitimate. Politics, in the Nixon tradition was about behind-the-scenes plotting to destroy political enemies, it was not about fair play elections. And if Nixon did not aim for the presidency in 1964, it was not because he thought he couldn't win, but because the plotting of political cronies like J. Edgar Hoover precluded the possibility of a Nixon presidency in 1964. John Ehrlichman, Nixon's former counsel, made that quite evident when he said:
Hoover and Nixon had kept in touch during all the years Nixon was out of office. Rose Mary Woods had been Hoover's Nixon contact for the exchange of information and advice between them. Whenever Nixon travelled abroad as a private citizen, the FBI agents who posed as "legal attaches" in U.S. embassies were instructed by Hoover to look after Nixon. Hoover fed Nixon information during those years via Cartha De Loach, and through Lou Nichols, a retired Bureau assistant director who had become a distillery executive. But Hoover was more than a source of information -he was a political advisor to whom Nixon listened. (Witness to Power; The Nixon Years, 1982, Simon & Schuster, New York p.156-7)
And so, despite the popular belief that shrewd political acumen kept Nixon out of the White House race in 1964, the evidence suggests that Hoover dictated the Nixon decision to "wait it out". Indeed, pre-Kennedy assassination knowledge probably convinced Nixon to refrain from opposing Johnson in 1968. Clearly, evidence which strongly suggests that Nixon had foreknowledge about the Kennedy assassination is compelling. On November 21 1963, J.Edgar Hoover and Richard Nixon were at the home of wealthy oil baron Clint Murchison, in Dallas Texas. (p.14 High Treason) Murchison was a wealthy Texan who owned everything from the Dallas Cowboys to Henry Holt and Company, the publishing house that promoted the propaganda that Hoover published, to the racetrack where Hoover placed $100 bets, to the luxurious Del Charro Motel in California, where Hoover vacationed annually free of charge, to oil-gas interests... Murchison's empire, it appeared, was tailor-made to suit the interests of J. Edgar Hoover. The alliance between Hoover and Murchison was indeed like an ideal circle of corruption. Murchison, the recipient of huge loans from Teamster's pension funds, was evidently well served by the "politically correct" Teamster's union, whose administration was shaped by Hoover's capacity to blacklist the so-called un-Americans within. And the "dissent-free" Teamsters were at liberty to abuse pension funds at will. Business associates like Mafia crime boss Carlos Marcello gave Murchison additional "empire-building" clout. (mafia kingfish, p312)br>
Travelling in a circle which linked the Mafia, the Director of the FBI, Lyndon Johnson and ultra-Conservative wealthy Texan reactionaries who vilified Kennedy because he was supposedly soft on Communism, Richard Nixon was surrounded by people who were enthusiastic about supporting a plot to murder the President. In particular, the fact that Richard Nixon spent the eve of the assassination in Dallas Texas with Johnson and Hoover cronies, the oil-rich Murchisons, goes a very long way in casting a dark cloud of suspicion towards the arch-Republican Nixon, who virtually assured a Democratic landslide victory by not challenging Johnson in 1964. Like the ultra-Conservative Murchison, who provided financial support to the so-called liberal, Lyndon Johnson, Nixon secretly supported the Democrats, not the Republicans. Kennedy assassination plotters had evidently created "politically peculiar" secret alliances that escaped the notice of political pundits who promoted "Nixon the brilliant political comeback strategist" theories, to account for Nixon's conspicuous absence in 1964, and his "miraculous" return in 1968. What the pundits failed to explore is the probability that Richard Nixon did not run in 1964 in order to help Lyndon Johnson shed the scornful claim that he was the "accidental" President. Moreover, it is also safe to assume that Richard Nixon did not oppose the candidacy of Lyndon Johnson because he was absolutely certain that Johnson would reverse the foreign policy course of action that Kennedy had charted. If that was not clearly the case, there is no way that Nixon would have tolerated the "landslide mandate" that fell into Johnson's lap, through the decision to allow the "trigger happy" Barry Goldwater, to lead the Republicans.
Preoccupied by the need to cover up the truth about the Kennedy assassination, Lyndon Johnson publicly embraced the "let us continue" pledge, and with Nixon's undeclared support, "landslide Johnson" privately promoted the commitment "to begin", not where Kennedy had left off, but where Johnson and Nixon wanted to go. And so, like the convoluted plot of a Shakespearean play, the Nixon-assisted Lyndon Johnson landslide foreshadowed the dramatic new beginning in Vietnam -the introduction of the combat divisions that Kennedy had vigorously opposed. The popular misconception that Johnson and Nixon inherited the Vietnam war reflects a gross distortion maintained by obsessive secrecy and ignorant "punditeering". In actual fact, Nixon, Johnson, Hoover and the like, "engineered" the Vietnam war.
To be sure, since the man was murdered, the propaganda mill repeatedlly churns out the fraud that Cold Warrior John F. Kennedy started the Vietnam War. We do not have the time nor the inclination to challenge 27 years of rhetoric, ignorance and fraud. Well just tell you what John F. Kennedy said, and you can make up your own mind. John F. Kennedy said: "In 1965 Ill become one of the most unpopular Presidents in history. Ill be damned everywhere as a Communist appeaser. But I dont care. If I tried to pull out completely now from Vietnam, we would have another Joe McCarthy red scare on our hands, but I can do it after Im reelected. So we had better make damned sure that I am reelected".

States and Feds can try a person for the same charge?
If the Feds can charge this guy Angleton in federal court, why can't they indict O.J. and try him as well?

And, as when Rudolph Guilaini took on John Gotti after having been defeated three times previously by Gotti's attorney, can charge the individual's attorney as a witness to prevent him from assisting in a successful legal defense, depriving him of effective counsel.
I might have been more sympathetic to the tactic had it similarly been used against Clinton when his crooked attorneys were assisting him in his legal defense, but as it was bnot, it's clear that some folks get special priovileges and others are to be denied them. In any event, it's certain that todays courtys are among the most corrupt of our institutions.
