Reporter Thomas Lipscomb wrote the story which is linked above in the NY SUN. It has the potential to end the Kerry presdential run.
I had a great conversation with Lipscomb a short while ago. This story was too hot for some of the majors. But Lipscomb assured me it is well-sourced and is dead on.
Two witnesses have placed John Kerry at a Kansas City meeting of the hierarchy of the Vietnam Veterans Against the War in November of 1971. At that meeting, they actually took a vote about assassinating United States senators. It was called "The Phoenix Project" and was the brainchild of Scott Camil. Kerry spokesman David Wade has denied Kerry was at the meeting.
The two witnesses who place Kerry at the meeting are Terry Du-Bose and Randy Barnes. What is very interesting is that Barnes is a big Kerry supporter and the head of Missouri Vets for Kerry. As a supporter, Barnes would certainly not make up a story that would hurt his candidate. He told Lipscomb of Kerry's attendance at the meeting.
Think of the implications. If the mainsteam media and major news networks do their homework, they may discover that a man who wants to be president was at a meeting discussing the possiblity of assassinating United States senators. That is a conspiracy. Instead of the White House, does John Forbes Kerry belong in the Big House?
Get on the phone to newsrooms and shame them into covering this story. A major mainsteam journalist returned by email in about a half hour after I sent him info. He finds it "interesting." Let's see if pursues it. He is notable enough, that if he does the story, all hell will break loose in the presidential campaign.
Note: Lipscomb is not a right-wing ideologue. He did a recent story defending Kerry over his medals. He also recently did a story in which he went after George Bush's National Guard service. He told me that he expected to find a drunken rich kid with coke up his nose. Instead, he discovered that Bush actually did more than make up the meetings he had missed and he honorably fulfilled his duty. And Terry McAuliffe knows it.
LOL. I got a real education in 2000 by following Florida statutory law, FLorida Supreme Court opinions, Federal District Court opinions, and Federal election law. There are plenty of ways the process can deviate from what we are accustomed to. Title 3 of the US Code is a sobering read, as it touches on how to handle "refusal of office" and other remote possibilities.
Technically (i.e. legally), you are correct; however, I think it is extremely unlikely that anything will come of this. If an actual murder had been committed (or even attempted) it would be different. If he had voted yes – and nothing had come of it – things would be different. (If it were Bush instead of Kerry things might be different.)
I could be wrong – but I’m not.
In its larger sense, this word is used to signify every considerable misdemeanor, which has not a certain name given to it in the law; and it is said that a misprision is contained in every treason or felony whatever.
2. In its narrower sense it is the concealment of a crime. Misprision of treason, is the concealment of treason, by being merely passive for if any assistance be given, to the traitor, it makes the party a principal, as there is no accessories in treason. It is the duty of every good citizen, knowing of a treason or felony having been committed; to inform a magistrate. Silently to observe the commission of a felony, without using any endeavors to apprehend the offender, is a misprision.
Misprisions which are merely positive, are denominated contempts or high misdemeanors; as, for example, dissuading a witness from giving evidence. MISPRISION OF FELONY -
Whoever, having knowledge of the actual commission of a felony cognizable by a court of the U.S., 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 U.S. 18 USC Misprison of felony, is the like concealment of felony, without giving any degree of maintenance to the felon for if any aid be given him, the party becomes an accessory after the fact. --b-- THE 'LECTRIC LAW LIBRARY(tm) -- http://www.lectlaw.com
I have my doubts that Bush would beat her.

"Masslaughter."
I think that the most pointed questions on this thread have focused on the time between now and the Election, especially around the time of their party Convention, to include however all such time as occurs between now and the demise of Hitlary ').
I wouldn't bank on it -- yet.
One question the media would HAVE to ask him (if they ever report the story) is: Did you report this assassination conspiracy to the authorities?
If Kerry didn't report it, then he's clearly not fit to be president.
If he did, then he's in trouble with the left wing.
The fact that he voted against it and that it happened over 30 years ago is enough to make it go away, and pursuing it could threaten our credibility.
Please think about it.
