Breaking (Bad) News for Ed Profs Ayers and Dohrn

The following just in from Nancy at familysecuritymatters.org (read to the end for word of a new report concerning a "new SDS" on campuses):

In a sensational letter to be released at a March 12 National Press Club news conference, the San Francisco Police Officers Association (SFPOA) tells Cliff Kincaid of America’s Survival, Inc., and FamilySecurityMatters.org contributing editor, that evidence in the 1970 bombing murder of a San Francisco police officer points to Weather Underground members Bernardine Dohrn and Bill Ayers, two associates of President Barack Obama. The letter will be made public at a news event that will feature a former FBI informant in the Weather Underground saying that Ayers told him that Dohrn planted the bomb that killed Sergeant Brian V. McDonnell.  The informant, Larry Grathwohl, has testified under oath before the U.S. Senate about the bombing plot.
 
"There are irrefutable and compelling reasons to believe that Bill Ayers and his wife Bernardine Dohrn, members of the terrorist group 'Weather Underground' are largely responsible for the bombing of Park Police Station and other police stations throughout the United States during their 'tour of terror' in the late 1960s and early 1970s," the SFPOA letter states. The SFPOA letter is signed by all five officers of the SFPOA.
 
The SFPOA letter says that while “Sgt. McDonnell was the sole fatality of this heinous and cowardly act," which occurred on February 16, 1970, eight other policemen were seriously injured. "Those responsible for the cold blooded murder...and the injuries to the other officers have never been brought to justice and the case remains open," the letter notes.
 
"The San Francisco Police Officers' Association joins Mr. Cliff Kincaid of America's Survival, Inc. in his valiant and noble effort to urge a renewed effort by the appropriate Law Enforcement Agencies (Local, State, and Federal) to bring this case to a close and bring those responsible for the murder of Sgt. Brian McDonnell and the injuries to the other officers to the justice they have so long eluded."
 
In addition to releasing the letter, Jim Pera, a retired San Francisco Police Officer who was one of the first on the scene after the 1970 bombing, will describe the devastating impact of the blast. In addition, two reports on the Weather Underground will be released. They are "What was the Weather Underground?" by former Congressional investigator Herbert Romerstein, and "From Arms to Education to Political Power — the Return of the SDS and the Weather Underground," by Cliff Kincaid and internationally-renown blogger and researcher Trevor Loudon. The latter examines how members of the Weather Underground have regrouped to form a “new SDS” on college campuses.
 
*The News Conference will be held at 12:30 p.m. at the National Press Club, 529 14th St., N.W., 13th floor, Washington, D.C. Reservations can be made by contacting griffin@griffnews.com or by calling 703-255-2211.

A presidential pardon may be granted at any time,

Correct. But the President of the United States cannot pardon someone for a crime against a State, only for a Federal crime. The story says a Federal Grand Jury is looking into this case, but if they come up with something that is a violation of California law, for which the staute of limitations has not run, such as murder, that could be prosecuted in State Court.

Of course there is the less than zero chance that a San Francisco jury will look very favorably on these defendants.

Thanks for the ping!

Not hard to guess who wears the pants in that couple.

More documentation and proof that the Zer0 for decades has surrounded himself with criminals, foriegn/domestic terrorists, tax cheats as per my 2009 tagline.

“Why those two have not been swinging from lamposts by now is beyond me.”

Because the left wing mediots made those of us who served in the military during the Viet Nam years the criminals and made killers like Ayers and Dohrn the heros. Then basically every movie/tv show Follywood made about the Nam war made our warriors the killers and the Ayrs/Dohrns/Fondas/Kerrys/Kennedys the heros.

No, she was never admitted to the bar, but -- just like hubby Bill and the Chicago Annenberg Challenge -- she extorted raised more than a million dollars in funding for the Children and Family Justice Center she now heads at Northwestern, [most of it from the MacArthur Foundation, which also funded the Annenberg scam], as well as grants from the Chicago Community Trust and the Illinois Lawyers' Trust Fund.

Her job at the "Center" has been described as "more in the social than in the nitty-gritty legal realm."

Here's a 1993 Chicago Magazine article on the witch; not recommended for those with high blood pressure.

Instead of having a senate inquiry & news presser, why the hell aren’t we having a FBI investigation, arrest and charges of murder?

[browardchad]

The story says a Federal Grand Jury is looking into this case

Well, if it's the same Federal Grand Jury, they've been investigating it since 2003. Kron 4 News ran a 3-part series about it back then, which has since been deleted, but Part 1 is still in the cache.

Part 2 was titled "Patriot Act Used to Reopen Murder Case?" and Part 3, "Survivor of Old Murder Case Speaks Out."

I've never seen a follow-up on the investigation.

Bill & Bernie will come to no good end one day. But first, they will be invited to spend the night in the Lincoln Bedroom.

IMO Ayres is directly involved with the creation of those terrorist cells on college campuses.

He has been given free reign to inundate all schools from kindergarten up with his radical agenda.

His friend Obama has given him a lot of help.

[KTM rider]

does it seem odd to anyone that so many appointees and close friends of the One are getting exposed, charged and convicted after escaping prosecution for so long ?

is this what the One meant by "transparency in the administration" ? where ALL are victims or stepping stones to power, none are spared.

Obama is certainly an iconoclast, and his association with Ayers and Dorn being glossed over by the MSM is criminal negligence IMO. Especially in light of the fact that "War on Capitalism" is a top priority on the SDS list of "things to do".

The american people may have been unwittingly been led into a deadly trap by the well meaning liberals who have no idea what pain they may be bringing on to themselves and everyone else by putting this man in power

[Signalman]

Any word on the press conference? It was supposed to happen an hour ago.

[Locomotive Breath]

Consider the source, but

Since the SF police station bombing was never solved, there would be no double jeopardy since no one was ever charged.

[FloridaGeezer]

I am wondering why the victims of these crimes such as the San Francisco officers, Mary Jo Kopechne, the investors who were involved with Madoff etc. could not sue these perpetrators in civil court and, if they win, receive monetary payment from the perpetrator. Is there someone out there with some legal reason that it couldn’t be done?

“[T]he truly unforgivable mistake of the Chinese authorities was the failure to intervene on a timely basis to nip the demonstrations in the bud, rather than -- as would have been both wise and efficacious -- to intervene with force when all other measures had failed to restore domestic tranquility to Beijing and other major urban centers in China. In this optic, the Politburo's response to the mob scene at ‘Tiananmen’ stands as a monument to overly cautious behavior on the part of the leadership, not as an example of rash action….

“I do not believe it is acceptable for any country to allow the heart of its national capital to be occupied by dissidents intent on disrupting the normal functions of government, however appealing to foreigners their propaganda may be. Such folk, whether they represent a veterans' ‘Bonus Army’ or a ‘student uprising’ on behalf of ‘the goddess of democracy’ should expect to be displaced with despatch [sic] from the ground they occupy.”

Mentored by Davis (fellow cell member of Grampa Stanley), emulating Alinsky, Launched by Ayers & Dohrn, seeking to install Freeman, yet denying he is a "socialist"--

Of course he is not a socialist.

He is a Communist.

With a machete, a burning tire, a teleprompter and the powers of POTUS.

Yet John McCain is not afraid--it'll be just like the Hanoi Hilton--that cozy feeling of home.
