Bush Justice Department's Actions Protect Convicted Felon Who Violated National Security

Judicial Watch To Appeal Lower Court's Grant of Bush Administration Request

(Washington, D.C.). Judicial Watch, the public interest law firm that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, has been litigating defamation lawsuits against convicted felon Wen Ho Lee and others who, to deflect blame for their own actions, slandered and libeled Trulock. Specifically, as part of a media, public relations campaign, these defendants claimed in widely published reports that Trulock had singled Wen Ho Lee out for prosecution because he is ethnic Chinese, a variation of the O.J. Simpson defense. As a result, Trulock, a hero who blew the whistle on the biggest breach of nuclear security since the Rosenbergs at Los Alamos National Laboratories, lost his job and had his reputation destroyed.

A later government report which issued in Judicial Watch's litigation on behalf of Trulock proved that he had not engaged in “racial profiling.” Nevertheless, Wen Ho Lee recently published another defamatory book making these and other claims, further damaging Trulock, who is now destitute and penny-less. It hit the bookstores on January 15, 2002.

During discovery in the cases brought for Trulock, Judicial Watch obtained admissions from Wen Ho Lee that he had never been discriminated against, and did not even know what racial profiling is. Further, he was forced to admit that the government had valid reasons to investigate him.(emphasis added)

Nevertheless, just days before trial, which was scheduled to begin February 19, the full weight of the Bush Justice Department was used by the administration to intervene in Judicial Watch's private cases for Trulock, to argue that if the trial was allowed to proceed, that national security would be violated.

The lower court granted the Bush Justice Department's request to stop the cases this afternoon, on the eve of trial. Judicial Watch will appeal on behalf of Trulock.

Already, another case filed before the same court, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, which was dismissed, has been reinstated by the Fourth Circuit. This reinstated case involves Trulock's claims against former FBI Director Louis Freeh for violating his constitutional rights.

“The Bush Justice Department feared that if the Trulock defamation cases went to trial that it would be embarrassed for allowing Wen Ho Lee to violate national security, and for this reason conjured up a bogus argument, backed by secret CIA affidavits submitted to the court ex parte, that trying this simple defamation case would itself breach national security. This action by the administration amounts to a cover-up of the negligence of the FBI, which allowed Wen Ho Lee to pick the pockets of the American nuclear arsenal. To this day, Lee cannot account for the whereabouts of the secrets he stole,” stated Judicial Watch Chairman and General Counsel Larry Klayman.

I think George Tenet spends his days doing crossword puzzles at his desk or organizing the football pool. I'm still looking for Whitey Bulger but I don't think I am going to get that reward.;-)

[Wm Bach]

Larry Klymer-man's butt-boys. How low can you go?

Not as low as you, apparently. The gutter is all yours, I'll not race you to it. Enjoy your "prize".

[ntrulock]

I think Larry was being "ironic." National security had very little to do with it, unless you consider "outing" the FBI to be a national security risk.

Many blessings, many prayers.

During the HWBush Vice Presidency into his Presidency, the US was transferring US missile defense tecnology and miniature nuclear bomb technology directly to the Russians at Los Alamos… During the HW Bush Vice Presidency, US missile defense technology was also allegedly transferred to the Chinese at Kirtland AF Base…

Why would Bush transfer US missile defense technology and mini-nuke technology directly to the Russkies from 1981-1989 at Los Alamos and how was this accomplished during a period which represented the very height of the Cold War? Why did the US provide the ChiComs with SDI-related technologies? How did it conform with Reagan’s policy of building up the ChiCom military known with direct US military and technical assistance as the “Peace Pearl Program” as a supposed counter to the mighty Soviet Red Army?

Sam COhen and the father of the hydrogen bomb, Edward Teller, publicly testified before a conference of prestigeous scinteists that the US helped Russia test a Russian mini nuke at Los ALamos. The transcript of that conference has been posted on the FR by me in December 2001.

Please link me to Mr. Teller’s testimony that the US helped Russia test a mini nuke at Los Alamos and provide the date that this was done.

I was offered a job to work with the Russians on the US missile defense program (SDI) in the 1980s via the Reagan/Bush administration at Kirtland AF base near LosAlamos. I turned the job done when I was told I had to work with Russian scientists and when I was told the purpose was to "establish a world government" (exact words). I wrote up this story in an article I posted on FreeRepublic in June 2000…

What year were you offered a job to work with the Russians on the SDI? Are you saying that the Russians were helping us in the research of development of SDI—a system which they allegedly feared and were willing to do almost anything to ensure the US did not deploy so that their overwhelming offensive nuclear and strategic defense superiority would not be lost? Reagan did offer to share SDI technology with the Russians. Please link me to this story as well.

In his address to the nation on September 27, 1991, HW Bush unilaterally disarmed the US of many of its best tactical nuclear weapons including the neutron bomb at a time Cohen alleges Bush gave the neutron bomb to China. In his speech, Bush spoke warmly about the New World Order (world Government ) and the need he forsaw as former US ambassador to China to include China in the New World Order. Did this include givng CHina US nuclear technology to create a New World Order, a world government as I had been told was being done for the same reason with Russia??

How exactly did President Bush Sr. believe that providing Communist China and Russia with neutron bomb, mini-nuke and missile defense technology further his stated objective of creating a New World Order one-world govt? While I agree that was his objective, I do not understand the linkage which you are suggesting here. How does building up the military forces of the enemy contribute to the formation of a one-world govt unless the intention is that such a one-world govt be led by that same enemy (the Sino-Russian alliance)?

Early this year GWBush unilaterally disarmed the US of almost 5000 of the US ballistic missile delivery systems without any concessions from the Chinese or the Russians, Bush also shared operational details of the US missile defense with the Russians and CHinese. DId GW Bush do this to help establish a New World Order (world government) as his father HW Bush had stated he wanted done in 1991?

The answer to your question here is clearly yes because GW Bush’s implementation of the massive unilateral disarmament of this country’s nuclear deterrent is part of the “Freedom From War” directive issued by JFK in 1961 committing the US to global disarmament in order to grease the skids to forming a world govt which would possess the most powerful military in the world using nuclear and conventional forces provided it by the nations surrendering their national sovereignty to it. US policymakers have affirmed over and over again over the past decades that they are still operating in furtherance of this objective.

[RaceBannon]

I wonder if they made wallpaper out of them like we did!

[Paul Ross]

Oh, no, you're not going to be able to wash your hands of your guilty collaborationism with the Clinton's so easily by equating the two here. Wen Ho Lee did not just LOOK like a treasonous malefactor, he is STILL behaving like one, refusing point blank to cooperate on locating the missing syquest tapes as required in his plea agreement, and in fact there is a LOT of evidence that makes it clear he is in fact working with the PRC secret services. The overwhelming amount of duplicity in this character makes it an UNAVOIDABLE conclusion, and the dismissal of this case was an act of treason, and the judge had to know that. No aplogies were owed this scum, and you should be ashamed of yourself.

[Paul Ross]

B'wwhahahahahahhahahaha!

You are really full of it. The 'premier organization' as you call it happens to be primarily composed of radical, left-wing SOCIAL so-called SCIENTISTS. Ie., poly-sci nitwits with PhD's. Very few 'hard scientists' in the bunch, and of those, THEIR MAIN guys like John Pike, he has been DISCREDITED six ways from sunday. Constantly braying pollyanish consequences, to ANY US deployments of ANYTHING. This is your apostle of light and reason? LOL! You're so full of ignorance it is pathetic. You are a flagrant and flaming liberal, and as such belong in the dust bin of history, right next to Gorbachev.

[Paul Ross]

Well, I don't mind obliging him (Water0nBrain, oops, I mean Aquatic), as he is likely a denizen of the soon-to-be-defunct Salon or DU.

Now that their dot-bomb money (e.g., Global Crossing for one),is drying up, and their Enron spigot is shutoff, the liberals will really be hurting for private-sector funding, and will naturally be more dependent than they have been for some time upon their misused Federal Grants and programs (e.g., Legal Services Corp., etc.), from whence they will run their operations out of. So I expect their web sites to go out of business sooner than expected. Call it one of the benefits of recession.

[GOP_1900AD]

41 years. That is a very interesting figure indeed. It was 41 years ago that Anatoliy Golitsyn defected and then was "discredited" by those very highly placed KGB moles whom he named and shamed. The resulting fiasco knocked out the last of the true KGB hunters and neither the CIA nor the FBI have yet to recover. 1961 was also, according to Golitsyn, the year that the 40 year strategic KGB deception plan was to commence, to be followed by the false fall of the Soviet Bloc 30 years hence, and, by the Final Phase starting in 2001. Yes, 41 years of sloth and incompetance, and yet, even the most highly placed still appear to be afraid to know just how compromised, mole ridden and ineffective our security agencies have become. Of course, public knowledge of the entire hidden story of the past 41 years would likely result in a panic (both emotional and economic) unlike any ever seen before in a large industrial nation. Pretty bad being painted into a corner, is it not?

[GOP_1900AD]

Notra, God Bless you. You are a true patriot and a real American hero. I thank God everyday for you and others like you who demonstrate this sort of managerial and moral courage. Take care.

You must be out of your mind, or what's left of it. Check out this list of Nobel Laureates serving as sponsors or board members, vast majority of them are in hard-core scientific fields, where genius-level IQ, impeccable educational attainment, and stellar objectivity are only the pre-requisites.

http://www.fas.org/sponsor.htm

Put your money where your mouth is, show me a list of names that is 10%, even 1% as impressive as the one above, who’re associated with any organization or group that’s made vile and baseless charges against Dr. Lee.

[Paul Ross]

Bump! Golitsin's revelations are still very much on track.

[Paul Ross]

I have better things to inanely waste my time playing your juvenile game, you could not refute ONE SINGLE CONTENTION in my missive. So you rant about your few Nobel laureates, who, excuse me happen to be alligned how, politically??

So I will just note where your precious FAS falls out in a rather summary listing of the 'biggies' as attached below:

"This is just pitiful news...and VERY telling."

Agreed!

This is what happened when FR buried its head in the sand , and became mesmorized with a party and a man.

[Revel]

In case you have not figured it out...this site has become infiltrated with disrupters. I have seen Klayman act kooky myself but, Don't these people who attack Klayman in order to distract from the headline remind you of James Carevell? What difference does it make in this case what you think of Klayman or judicial watch. Absolute power corrupts and this is all the proof we need. There is no justice up there. This is the first thing that gave me a dislike for Bush.

[B4Ranch]

He's the only one with enough guts to fight governmental corruption also. Crazy thinker, thinking he can win against the government.

[Common Tator]

SERIOUSLY. HAS JUDICIAL WATCH EVER WON A CASE? HAVE THEY PUT ANYONE IN JAIL OR PUNISHED THEM? HAVE THEY BROUGHT THE CLINTONS TO JUSTICE?

Man get a clue. Only a prosecutor can charge people with crime. A lawyer can't do that? No lawyer. Not Klayman. Not any lawyer. All a law firm can do is sue someone for damages in CIVIL court. Lawyers can't bring criminal charges. Civil suits can't put people in jail. They are civil... civil people deciding a civil case civily. Civil cases are only about money. At best they could make the Clinton's pay money to the person doing the sueing. That means all that would or could happen if Klayman had won one of the cases against Clinton, is that Clinton would have to pay him money...after years of appeal.

Only the Justice Department can file criminal charges against anyone for a federal offense. Im state courts only elected prosecuting attorneys can get a grand jury to indict for crimes and bring a criminal case. NOt even cops can file a felony case. They have to get a prosecutor to do so. In many cases he has to get a grand jury to indict.

All Klayman can sue for is money to compensate for damages to his clients. His problem is he has never been able to prove damages. He can claim someone damaged his client and ask the court to give them money. If he had won those cases against Hillary and Bill the most it could have cost them was what Bill gets for a couple of speeches. In most such cases such suits end up like Paula Jones suit. Most of the money Clinton paid went to Paula's attorneys. Klayman won none of his cases. Clinton settled with Paula.

Thanks for the info. very interesting read,Judge Parker's comments.
