Consider also the following time-line (note Tenet's role in l'affaire Deutch, and Clinton's last-day-in-office pardon). Is there any wonder the CIA is a screwed-up place when enduring leadership such as this?:

May 10, 1995 - John Deutch sworn in as DCI.

May 19, 1995 - The Senate announces that Nora Slatkin is leaving the Department of Defense (Assistant Secretary of the Navy) to join the CIA as Executive Director.

December 15, 1996 - Deutch resigns as DCI.

December 17, 1996 - A CIA computer security official visits Deutch\'s home and discovers thousands of pages of classified documents on unsecured (CIA) Macintosh computers. Almost immediately the CIA General Counsel, Tom O\'Neil and Nora Slatkin are advised of the breach. Slatkin advises DCI Tenet.

December, 1996 - Deutch joins the Board at Citigroup. Dec 20 ,1996 - Deutch begins deleting files from his computers.

January, 1997 - CIA security officials complain to Slatkin that O\'Neil is dragging his feet. Slatkin takes no action in response, except to \"hold discussions.\" Deutch refuses to be interviewed by security staff.

Summer, 1997 - The CIA security staff completes a report on Deutch which languishes in the security office awaiting action.

Fall, 1997 - Claiming ignorance of the security office\'s investigation, DCI Tenet grants Deutch new security clearances.

October, 1997 - On Deutch\'s recommendation Slatkin also joins the Board at Citigroup. Her current title - Senior Manger of Government Relations.

December, 1997 - Because the Justice Department has not been notified, a one-year statute of limitations for the appointment of an independent counsel to investigate Deutch lapses

March, 1998 - After seven years of service, CIA Inspector General Frederick P. Hitz retires to assume the Goldman Sachs Chair on International Intelligence at Princeton University. He later tells The New York Times that he assumed that his successor, Britt Snider, would advise the Department of Justice as to Deutch\'s possible criminal mishandling of CIA records. Oops!

April, 1999 - Janet Reno\'s Justice Department declines to prosecute Deutch while nuclear scientist Wen Ho Lee languishes in jail for similar violations.

February, 2000 - After a CIA Inspector General\'s report on Deutch\'s conduct leaks to the press Janet Reno reopens the investigation. Prosecutor Paul Coffey recommends criminal charges.

March, 2000 - Slatkin and Hitz contradict Tenet and state that he was much more involved than previously admitted.

Summer/Fall 2000 - The criminal investigation of Deutch inches ahead in secret. Fears mount that John Ashcroft, as Bush Attorney general, will aggressively pursue criminal charges.

January 20, 2001 - On his last day in office President Clinton pardons Citibank Director John Deutch.

jpthomas, this is a very interesting sequence of events, and one that brings the connection of the CIA to Citigroup and Goldman/Sachs to our attention!

I have flagged a few people who would be interested in this (please see reply #11).

I am glad to see that Peter King shares the same questions I do about this situation. I am assuming that if he has these thoughts, others such as Cheney and the President do as well. I remain convinced that the criminal investigation is NOT what Wison wanted.

Nice find jp. Here's an interesting tidbit from the link:

EXCERPT Given the enormity of documentation on Citibank's direct involvement with drug and criminal money laundering and the extraordinarily detailed investigations by journalist Al Giordano at www.narconews.com, several questions become obvious.

Giordano's translation of Spanish language reports on the on again, off again relationship between Citibank and Peruvian CIA backed strongman Vladimiro Montesinos, suggest that CIA tells Citibank which criminal clients are acceptable for Private Banking money laundering activities.

Clearly, the timeline implies that Slatkin's hiring at Citibank was a quid pro quo for her services in stalling the Deutch investigation. But more so it raises the question as to whether Slatkin is the CIA liaison at Citigroup to open approved channels for money laundering.

Also, it must be asked whether or not there is a partisan flavor to Citigroup's activities. All of the players here were Democratic Party apparatchiks. Is the Democratic Party the sole beneficiary of Citigroup criminal money laundering? Much will be revealed when the Bush Administration weighs in on the Banamex acquisition.

Ruppert is the source?

I don't think I'd believe him if he said the sky was blue and water was wet. Better to find another source for such info imo.
