[The Great Satan]

Since all this happened in Albany, I'll bet anything that The Hairy Hand of Harold Ickes turns out to be at the bottom of the police sting and the political conversion of Hot Scott Ritter.

Except that Ritter had flipped to being a Saddam asset long before this sting, for example accepting $400,000 from a US-based Saddam front to go to Baghdad in July 2000 and direct a propaganda film for Saddam. This has nothing to do with Hillary or Harold Ickes, everything to do with Saddam Hussein.

I didn't say anything about Hillary being involved, but just wait and see how it shakes out. Did Ritter condemn Bill Clinton for his Wag the Dog bombing of Iraq? Do you know the time line of Ritter's first public anti-Bush statement?

Just because an Iraqi bribed him, doesn't mean he wasn't also blackmailed. And what's the background of this American-Iraqi?

Many of the witnesses against Clinton were bribed with movie and TV contracts by Clinton's show biz friends. Some were blackmailed into silence and some were threatened.

Ickes is a far bigger player in Democrat politics than the Clintons. His job was to make sure nothing Clinton did harmed the party, all the while Ickes made policy that Clinton signed as Executive Orders.

He's the guy with all power who never has his picture taken or the Marxist Super Agent posing as a paper shuffler. He's the king-maker, string-puller, dirty trixter...whatever. That's my theory and always has been.

Except that we really don't know what else they may "have" on Mr. Ritter that isn't out in the open.

No reason to believe this is the first incident. I think people usually commit crimes long before they finally get caught.
