FBI Special Agent Robert G. Wright Jr. will hold a news conference Thursday in Washington to reveal FBI negligence and obstruction of counterterrorism investigations targeting Hamas and al-Qaeda.
Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, said its co-counsel David Schippers would join Wright at the press conference.
"Special Agent Wright, of the FBI's Chicago Division, is the only agent in the history of the FBI to have used the civil forfeiture laws to seize over $1.4 million dollars in Hamas terrorist money in connection with a criminal investigation of terrorist money laundering operations here in the United States," Judicial Watch said.
Minneapolis FBI agent Coleen Rowley has corroborated Wright's experiences dealing with FBI headquarters and senior management, "who consistently delayed, down-played and soft-peddled the investigative efforts of counterterrorism agents in the field," the organization said.
Stay tuned.
What does LOL stand for?
Laughs out loud.
If Schippers had something, why didn't he go on Newsmax or go to Alex Jones? If he didn't tell anybody, why the hell should we listen to him whine now?
G.W. Bush.
$hit rolls downhill.
Yes, he defended his family from murdering SOB's...
"Do you believe that David Koreshe and the parents of those kids acted with honor at Waco?"
Yes. They defended their church and children from murdering SOB's.
"Weaver had 18 months to answer the warrant and Koresh had 54 days to do the same."
The FBI could have arrested either man when they were away from their families. But rather than act with honor, they chose to attempt an arrest while innocent people were in harms way...
PS: About Weaver. A jury found him innocent and his civil suit left him a multi millionaire...
Maybe because of Chicago connections?
Yeah and when asked if he would do anything differently on a documentary I watched yesterday, he said. "I probably would not have sold the guns but other than that NO". IOW he felt the death of his wife and son were acceptable loses for a stupid gun charge and that he would take the 3.1 million and run. The man is a despicable skunk that if there were a God in heaven, his wife and Son would have been burying the SOB instead of the other way around! When the retired Marine Colonel told him that he was out of time he came out like the damn coward he is.
That is one scary thought considering the person who was the Chicago mob/political machine representative in the Clinton White House.
No way would they have kept their mouths shut. We are dealing with a federal government mentality here and, when they thought the time was right, this information would have been either "leaked" or handled exactly the way it is being handled. What I would like to know is WHY NOW.
Well it does make me feel better. What do you do when you inherit an organization that performs extremely poorly and there is a strong suspicion that maybe there are more uncover spies and misdirecting of efforts?
Without proof you cannot fire people, your hands are tied. Lo, a reorganization - same as the corporations do periodically. This allows upper management total control over who sits where, who is unneeded and who remains. This allows "cleaning house" and "removing deadwood". It also allows removal of those who have not inspired trust.
His "honor" was paid for by a dead wife and son and 3.1 million bucks to soothe his "pain".
