Obama Team Suggests Voter Fraud Probe a McCain/Bush Effort
Roll Call ^ | October 17, 2008 | Keith Koffler

Posted on 10/17/2008 2:29:32 PM PDT by Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!

The presidential campaign of Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) asked the Justice Department on Friday to allow an existing special prosecutor to probe the possible collaboration between the Bush administration and the presidential campaign of Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) in generating what Obama aides charge are spurious allegations and investigations of voter fraud.

The dems felt that they only lost because 58,000 people in Ohio were too stupid to vote for Kerry. This is why ACORN has been there doing this for two years. All they need is to rent a few buses to cart around a few hunred people so they can get to a few dozen districts and vote using dead people and names of people that lived in apartments taken from old phonebooks.

It’s that simple and Brunner is going to become the most popular dem since Hillary back in 2004 after they pull it off.

Well they are ASSuming that all the Kerry voters are going for Obomber but I don’t think it will happen.

I recall seeing quite a few Kerry signs and bumperstickers and reading pro-kerry letters to the editor but not so with Obummer.

They are counting their chickens far too early,IMO.

So? Whatever it takes to get the probe done. I happen to think having McCain/Bush pushing for truth is a GOOD thing! These people are pathetic, aren't they?

Republican voter-fraud accusations "seek both to suppress the vote and to unduly influence investigations and prosecutions," wrote Robert Bauer, general counsel for the Democratic presidential nominee. He made the statement in a letter to Mukasey and special prosecutor Nora Dannehy, who is looking into the nine U.S. attorney firings in 2006.

So let me get this straight. The 0bama campaign is asking the Department of Justice to investigate the Republican Party because of its concerns about vote fraud and voter fraud, because the Dems consider it "vote suppression"?

We are living in Bizarro World.

It is time the Justice Department heard from the American People in the form of a demand for a fair election.

“Hummmm Wonder if Fitz will attack the Coverup of ACORN and Obama with as much vigor as he did Scooter?”

Yes, I believe he will. Fitzgerald has been investigating Obama and Acorn in Chicago for a while now....and he knows if Obama is President he will more than likely be fired. I would think Rezko, Obama, ACORN and cronies will be humming some news soon, if he has enough to indict Bush is the one to sign the DOJ ....who knows? I am dreaming, praying and hoping......something has got to give....

Here's who Fitzgerald has indicted which is quite impressive for 44 years old. He does state on his website that he works 120 hours a week....wow...lots of corruption in Chicago.....
Patrick J. Fitzgerald began serving as the United States Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois on September 1, 2001. The United States Senate confirmed his nomination by unanimous consent and President Bush signed his commission on October 29, 2001.

Mr. Fitzgerald served on the Attorney General’s Advisory Committee from 2001-2005 and was Chair of the sub-committee on terrorism. He is also a member of the President's Corporate Fraud Task Force. In December 2003, he was named Special Counsel to investigate the alleged disclosure of the identity of a purported employee of the Central Intelligence Agency.

As U.S. Attorney, Mr. Fitzgerald serves as the district's top federal law enforcement official. He manages of staff of more than 300 employees, including approximately 161 Assistant U.S. Attorneys, who handle civil litigation and criminal investigations and prosecutions involving public corruption, narcotics trafficking, violent crime, white-collar fraud and other federal crimes. The Northern District of Illinois covers 18 northern Illinois counties across the top tier of the state, with a population of approximately nine million people. The district has a branch office in Rockford staffed by seven attorneys.

During the last four years, Mr. Fitzgerald has provided leadership and played a personal role in many significant investigations involving terrorism financing, public corruption, corporate fraud, and violent crime, including narcotics and gang prosecutions.

In Chicago, Mr. Fitzgerald has supervised the continuing public corruption investigation known as Operation Safe Road, which began in 1998, and which resulted in the convictions of approximately 73 defendants, including more than 30 public employees and officials. Since January 2004, he has overseen an investigation of the City of Chicago's Hired Truck Program in which three dozen defendants have been charged, including approximately 20 current or former city employees, and two dozen defendants have been convicted. Mr. Fitzgerald has also committed himself personally to the implementation of Project Safe Neighborhoods as part of a concerted effort with the Chicago Police Department and other state and federal law enforcement agencies to reduce gun violence.

Mr. Fitzgerald also served as trial counsel in United States v. Arnaout, in which the executive director of Benevolence International Foundation, Inc., a charitable organization based in south suburban Chicago, was sentenced to 11 years in prison. Arnaout pleaded guilty to racketeering conspiracy for fraudulently obtaining charitable donations to provide financial assistance to persons engaged in violent activities overseas, including to fighters in Chechnya and Bosnia, instead of using donations strictly for peaceful, humanitarian purposes.

Prior to coming to Chicago, Mr. Fitzgerald served as an Assistant U.S. Attorney in the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York for 13 years. He served as Chief of the Organized Crime-Terrorism Unit, in addition to holding other supervisory positions during his tenure in that office.

In New York, Mr. Fitzgerald participated in the prosecution of United States v. Usama Bin Laden, et al., in which 23 defendants were charged with various offenses, including conspiracy to murder United States nationals overseas and the August 1998 bombings of the United States embassies in Nairobi, Kenya, and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Four defendants went on trial in January 2001 in New York and four months later a jury returned guilty verdicts against all four. The defendants were sentenced to life in prison.

Mr. Fitzgerald also participated in the trial of United States v. Omar Abdel Rahman, et al., a nine-month trial in 1995 of 12 defendants who participated in a seditious conspiracy that involved the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center and a plot to bomb the United Nations, the FBI building in New York, and the Holland and Lincoln tunnels, as well as a conspiracy to assassinate President Hosni Mubarak of Egypt. He also supervised the case of United States v. Ramzi Yousef, et al., the 1996 prosecution of three defendants who participated in a conspiracy in the Philippines in late 1994 and early 1995 to detonate bombs simultaneously on 12 American airliners. In 1993, Mr. Fitzgerald participated in the six-month trial of United States v. John Gambino, et al., the prosecution of a Gambino crime family capo and his crew for narcotics trafficking, murder, racketeering, jury tampering and other charges.

Among Mr. Fitzgerald's awards and honors are the Attorney General’s Award for Exceptional Service in 1996, the Stimson Medal from the Association of the Bar of the City of New York in 1997 and the Attorney General’s Award for Distinguished Service in 2002.

Mr. Fitzgerald, 44, is a native of Brooklyn, N.Y. He joined the U.S. Attorney's Office in Manhattan in 1988 after three years as a litigation associate at the New York law firm, Christy & Viener. He graduated from Amherst College, Phi Beta Kappa, with a bachelor's degree in economics and mathematics in 1982, and from Harvard Law School in 1985.

They really are getting brazen.

Congressman Billybob was explaining on another thread that the Attorney General should be the one trying to force the Ohio Sec. of State to obey the law--this may be meant to make any such step by the AG look like a political move.

And of course any attempt to uphold fairness and honesty in the election will be branded as racist.

It would be interesting to probe into Burnner’s finances - will she see a huge jump in her net worth even if Obie DOESN’t win?
Kind of makes you think. All these people putting their careers on the line to make a buck -

what a sleaze she is.

But that's only a "tiny fraction" of the total new registrations, according to ACORN. Let's see: 1.3 million divided by 200,000--well, it's a fraction but hardly a tiny fraction. More like one-sixth.

And meanwhile, Conyers thinks it's unacceptable that we even found out about the FBI investigation. He expressed "shock and disappointment" that the American people were informed of it.

That, along with "take from the working class and give to those who live on handouts", is their entire platform.

Gee, being behind a probe of voter fraud doesn't compare to being behind (as in: instigator, purveyor, promoter of) voter fraud, Obama.
