    Here’s some more of Rohrbaugh’s laughable handiwork.

    http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1507227/posts

    Rohrbaugh allows alleged top Maryland organized crime syndicate leader Gilbert Sapperstein to walk out of Maryland State prison after approximately only 28 days of an 18 month sentence.

    Nobody has ever figured out where Gilbert Sapperstein went for this approx. 28 before being set free.

    Rohrbaugh feigns stupidity !!!!!!

    How The Rule Of Law Was Subverted - The D.A. Massacre

    How The Rule Of Law Was Subverted

    The Implementation of a Clinton Administration Plan

    The Washington Weekly
    Copyright © 1997
    July 21, 1997

    It all started with the “D.A. Massacre” at the U.S. Justice Department. The Clinton administration in 1993 fired all U.S. Attorneys and replaced them with loyal cronies.

    That almost ended accountability for the Clinton administration, because indictment for crimes would have to be brought by U.S. Attorneys. An example is U.S. Attorney Eric Holder, conveniently placed at the District of Columbia—the actual crime scene for most of the misdeeds of the Clinton Administration. He has repeatedly refused prosecution of Clinton administration employees despite referrals with clear evidence of wrongdoing.

    But it now seems that the “D.A. Massacre” was part of a larger plan to end accountability and destroy enemies of the state:

    Inspectors General Replaced
    The Inspectors General of the different government agencies are the ethics and crime watchdogs. During the Clinton administration, they, as well as the respective general counsels, were replaced with loyal cronies answering no longer to the people of the United States but to the White House Counsel’s office, the central intelligence office of the operation as we shall see later. Consider the following examples:

    (1) Treasury Inspector Valerie Lau started a criminal probe of Secret Service agents John Libonati and Jeffrey Undercoffer after they had testified that the Secret Service was not the source of the list used to compile FBI files in the Filegate scandal, thus blowing the White House cover story. Senator Orrin Hatch suspected the criminal probe was a political vendetta orchestrated from the White House. Treasury IG Valerie Lau also provided confidential depositions of White House staffers to White House Counsel Lloyd Cutler ahead of Whitewater hearings in 1994. Cutler used the testimony to coach staffers to get their stories straight and consistent before appearing before Congress. The depositions had been taken as part of a Treasury IG probe into allegations that the Treasury Dept. had tipped off the White House about the RTC criminal investigation into Whitewater. The Treasury IG probe, predictably, found no improper contacts.

    (2) FBI General Counsel Howard Shapiro hand delivered the manuscript of dissident Gary Aldrich to the White House Counsel’s office. He also leaked information to the White House Counsel’s office that FBI agent Dennis Sculimbrene had revealed in a confidential FBI interview that it was Hillary Clinton who hired Filegate perpetrator Craig Livingstone. Both contacts were followed by White House efforts to neutralize Aldrich and Sculimbrene.

    (3) State Department Inspector General Josephine William-Bridgers cleared Toby Gati, the State Department’s intelligence chief, of improper contacts with Hungarian intelligence and illegal access to classified NSA documents. Josephine William-Bridgers is “the model of ‘see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil,’” says former State Department employee Timothy N. Hunter. William-Bridgers replaced Sherman Funk after he had found several instances of clear criminal violations at the State Department.

    (4) United States Information Agency Inspector General Mariann Benett covered up credit card fraud by USIA Inspector General staff and launched a politically motivated investigation of Radio Marti, a staunchly anti-Communist radio station run by the government. She came under heavy fire from her deputy Inspector General for her violation of procedure.

    Political Blackmail
    Political intelligence gathered by Inspectors General and other covert operatives of the White House Counsel’s office has limited value if it cannot be turned into action. This is where political blackmail enters the picture. A truly corrupt administration can only survive if it can control public opinion, the judicial system, and the political system. Public opinion is controlled by the Clinton-friendly media. The judicial system has been taken care of as described above. That leaves the political system, which can still hold hearings and vote to impeach. The only effective way to deal with politicians is by blackmail. To blackmail a politician, you need dirt. To collect dirt, you need a private investigator or FBI agents. The White House has and uses both.

    The White House Counsel’s office employed Anthony Marceca and Craig Livingstone to study FBI files on thousands of government employees and politicians. The names include both Republicans and Democrats, and this is an important point. As can be seen from the current Senate campaign finance hearings, it is of great value to the White House to have a few Democrats on the Committee who will do everything to obstruct, impede and obfuscate the hearings. Here again, the White House Counsel is key. Current White House Counsel Charles Ruff was the lawyer who got Senator John Glenn (D-OH) off on a charge of accepting a $234,000 bribe from S&L operator Charles Keating during the “Keating Five” scandal. Charles Ruff knows what legal or illegal means were used to save Glenn’s career. Ruff also knows what legal or illegal means were used to retire Glenn’s $3 million campaign debt from a failed 1984 presidential bid in violation of FEC rules.

    The current obfuscation attempts by Senators Glenn, Levin and Torricelli are so blatant and clumsy, however, that even Clinton-friendly media operatives find them difficult to defend. As a reference point, we can use the behavior of a Democrat who does not appear to have been either bought by the Chinese or fallen victim to political blackmail: Senator Lieberman, who still appears to keep an open, inquiring mind.

    The White House has also made heavy use of one certain private investigator from California, Jack Palladino.

    Palladino was first used by the Clinton campaign in 1992 to threaten “bimbos” and others who were considered coming forward with information damaging to Clinton. In 1993, Jack Palladino apparently was hired by Harry Thomasson to look for dirt on the fired White House Travel Office staff. Justice Department phone logs from June 23, 1993 also show that Betsy Wright called Deputy Attorney General Webster Hubbell to give him the phone number of Jack Palladino at the request of Hillary Clinton. What Jack Palladino did for Webster Hubbell on that occasion remains a mystery to this date. But we do know that a $150,000 payment to Palladino’s detective firm was made in 1993 by a lawyer for the Teamster’s union. That lawyer was none other than the current White House Counsel, Charles Ruff.

    The FBI and The Justice Department
    The replacement of the FBI director and the appointment of an Attorney General, both of whom are loyal cronies of the Clinton administration, is an important part of the plan. Take as an example the current campaign financing scandal. The FBI has known at least since last year about the Chinese plan to illegally infiltrate U.S. politics, yet has done nothing. It was the private watchdog group Judicial Watch that exposed the apparent spy John Huang. The FBI has yet to track down and question most of the players in the fundraising and espionage scandal.

    But the FBI and the Justice Department have not hesitated to pursue the apparently frivolous allegations by DNC operative Mark Siegel against House Government Oversight Committee Chairman Dan Burton. Last week, the Justice Department delivered what Burton considered a clear message: you continue your aggressive government corruption investigations, and you will get “framed” for a campaign finance scandal of your own. This is political blackmail—not by the White House Counsel’s office but by the Justice Department, the top law enforcement agency in the land.

    Also last week, Dwight Linkous, a former consultant for Charlie Trie said that he has been prevented, presumably by Justice Department officials, from telling a federal grand jury investigating campaign finance all he knows.

    And The American Spectator reveals in the August 1997 issue that the DNC is far from coming clean on its illegal contributions. “Using publicly available FEC records and documents released by the DNC... we have identified an additional $562,437 in dubious contributions that were undeclared by the DNC,” Kenneth R. Timmerman tells the Washington Weekly. “This clearly suggests that there is much more to the campaign finance scandal than the DNC wants us to believe, and that much more illegal money is probably out there, undisclosed, and unreturned.”

    The important question is why has the FEC or the Justice Department not taken this look at the DNC? Why is it that every new revelation has to come from conservative reporters, conservative organizations, and investigators for Republican Senators? The Justice Department clearly is not interested in uncovering the truth.

    So those who have asked repeatedly how the White House has been able to get away with so many crimes reported by the alternative and conservative media now have an answer: they had an advance plan.

    Our friend Tracy Mehan asks, “Do the Clintons hunt in pairs like those velociraptors in Jurassic Park?” And plenty of people will be asking the same question as Greg Craig, the attorney who represented Bill Clinton during impeachment. Suffering an apparent case of lawyer’s remorse, he said, “Recent events raise the question: If Hillary’s campaign can’t control Bill, whether Hillary’s White House could.”

    Excerpt
    But then an outside Justice Department investigation informed Freeh that Potts had allegedly joined a cover-up about the true facts at Ruby Ridge.

    Excerpt
    When Potts left the bureau in 1997, his buddies flew into Washington from around the country for a farewell dinner. They billed the government, claiming “official business”—a nonexistent “ethics seminar” at the FBI training academy. A panel of senior officials known bitterly by street agents as “the club” let their fellow chieftains off with a mild rebuke. Instead of being accused of fraud, the charge was softened to “inattention to detail.”

    Kudos to Fitzgerald (He needs to be elevated to the position of U.S. Attorney General).

    Fitzgerald has had amazing success in Illinois against one of the most corrupt political machines in the U.S. !!!!!

    Here’s another example of a federal prosecutor closing in on a another “Queen Bee” Democratic mayor, Martin O’Malley, Baltimore.

    Maryland is a mirror image of Chicago !!!

    http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/1360653/posts?page=2

    EXCERPT :

    The job of U.S. attorney is a political appointment. The top man in any U.S. attorney’s office comes and goes. The real continuity in the office rests in the hands of scores of often anonymous assistant U.S. attorneys working there. DiBiagio had a foot planted in both worlds.

    Before his appointment as U.S. attorney by the Bush administration, DiBiagio worked in the Maryland office as an assistant U.S. attorney from 1991 to 2000. So he was a longtime internal operative. He’s a graduate of Dickinson College, in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, and the University of Richmond, where he earned his law degree.

    From the earliest days since his elevation as U.S. Attorney in 2001, Republican DiBiagio emphasized prosecution of cases involving public corruption and white-collar crime. In a state historically dominated by Democrats, that means prosecuting Democrats.

    Early on, U.S. Attorney DiBiagio found himself at odds with the Baltimore office of the FBI, notably former Agent-in-Charge Gary Bald, who soon left to oversee FBI counterterrorism efforts. In 2002 DiBiagio wrote a memo scolding the Baltimore FBI field office for failing to investigate white-collar crime.

    Before long, DiBiagio launched a probe of the Democratically controlled Baltimore city council. He subpoenaed the financial records of every council member.

    In his sights, everyone understood, was Democratic Mayor Martin O’Malley. O’Malley was seen as Gov. Ehrlich’s chief threat and rival. U.S. Attorney DiBiagio would soon reveal a penchant for writing embarrassingly ill-conceived and revealing letters, memos and e-mails, many of which were leaked to the press.

    Actually, they do have their own Indonesian version of Hell’s Angels.

    A lot of them ride old vintage WWII Harleys,I think they were called Liberators.

    In the early 80’s there were a lot of well maintained vintage motorcycles still being ridden daily in Indonesia.

    They dress and act like U.S. Hells Angels and will cut you in (knife is the weapon of choice in Indonesia) a second if you get in an altercation with them.
