Bush—Cheney CIA/Plame case indictments released this morning

Bush orders Fitzgerald fired and espionage indictments quashed
by Tom Flocco

Washington, DC—October 21, 2005—12:00 EST—TomFlocco.com exclusive—Today Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald handed over 22 indictments to Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez, accusing President George W. Bush, Vice President Richard Cheney and others of espionage, obstruction of justice, perjury and a variety of other charges in the matter of the CIA/Valerie Plame leak-gate case.

    According to intelligence sources who spoke with federal whistleblowers Thomas Heneghan and Stewart Webb, Bush then ordered Gonzalez to fire Fitzgerald and have the indictments quashed and sealed.

Gonzalez refused to release the indictments which have been handed down by the grand jury and ordered served by a judge, subjecting the Attorney General to additional charges of obstruction of justice, the sources said.

The indictments confirm our original “Bush-Cheney indicted” report on August 2, 2005.

Gonzalez was Bush’s former personal White House counsel before receiving a presidential appointment as U.S. Attorney General.

The move is reminiscent of the “Saturday night massacre” when President Nixon fired Watergate Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox in an attempt to save his presidency and obstruct justice.

Intelligence sources added that Bush tried to delay publicity about his attempt to fire Fitzgerald and quash the indictments this afternoon by ordering a diversion regarding a “Capitol Hill police attempt to disrupt a suspicious package in a car near the U.S. Capitol.”

The move to distract attention from the indictments occurred not long after the receipt of process by Gonzalez, according to intelligence sources with knowledge of the events.

While Gonzalez received the service of indictments, Bush was in California this morning and was scheduled to speak at the dedication of the new Air Force One pavilion at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in California.

It can be assumed that Bush’s orders for Gonzalez to refuse receipt of process and fire the prosecutor in the CIA leak case were discussed over the telephone since Bush was to speak at the Reagan Library just a few hours after the indictments were served.

Bush should have finished his speech at approximately 2:30 pm Eastern time, and it is probable that presidential strategy sessions regarding how to prevent the indictments and their criminal contents from becoming public have already commenced.

It is open to conjecture whether Bush could be arrested in California before even returning to Washington, given the criminal nature of the indictments.

An attempt to quash indictments and to fire Fitzgerald may also cause a constitutional crisis if Bush and Gonzalez continue to obstruct justice and defy U.S. law and constitutional legal process.

Intelligence sources told TomFlocco.com that the military or U.S. marshals should arrest Bush, Gonzalez, Cheney and others immediately for their criminal acts in keeping explosive espionage, obstruction and perjury indictments hidden from the American people, all of which affects U.S. national security.

D.C. Appellate Court throws out Bush suit against DOJ to block Fitzgerald indictments

D.C. Appellate Court throws out Bush suit against DOJ to block Fitzgerald indictments

by Tom Flocco

Washington, DC—October 25, 2005—www.TomFlocco.com—Earlier today the District of Columbia Appellate Court threw out a Bush administration suit against its own Justice Department, attempting to block the issuance of Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald’s indictments against White House officials.

The White House’s initial attempt to obstruct justice and have the indictments quashed and sealed was dismissed by the D.C. District Court late Friday afternoon, according to a sequence of events based on information in the form of data from intelligence field reports.

On Friday, Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez refused to sign for and issue the indictments against himself and his colleagues, which would have made them immediately public.

Fitzgerald reportedly appeared with Miers and Rice that same day before the D.C. District Court.

The indictments included both President Bush and Vice President Cheney, confirming our exclusive August 2, 2005 Bush-Cheney indictment story at TomFlocco.com.

According to intelligence field reports, the appellate court judges reportedly laughed at Bush’s White House counsel and former personal attorney Harriet Miers and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, saying “you can’t do this.”

The last ditch attempts by the White House to prevent the release of the indictments and their criminal contents were led by Miers and Rice, since Gonzalez has reportedly been indicted in an additional count for refusing to issue the original indictments as Bush’s attorney general.

This, also according to intelligence sources with intimate knowledge of the facts and the events who spoke with national security expert Thomas Heneghan (www.stewwebb.com).

Importantly, the dismissals by both the district and appellate courts will likely preclude an additional appeal by the Bush administration to the United States Supreme Court, since two consecutive reversals ordinarily prevent the high court from granting relief.

This would avoid another 5-4 Supreme Court split decision similar to the controversial Bush-Gore 2000 election recount litigation which has divided the country for five years.

Miers and Rice also reportedly attempted to have the courts place a gag order on Fitzgerald and the grand jury in another attempt to obstruct justice and prevent the criminal and far-reaching contents of the indictments from becoming public.

According to the intelligence sources, there are now 28 indictments to be issued in Fitzgerald’s first round—not 22—a fact that was not previously known up to the present time.

The number may have changed as a result of new information coming to light in recent days or a decision to add additional indicted officials to the first round for other reasons.

An indication of the far-reaching and expanded nature of Fitzgerald’s probes of White House crime families and his independent authority to do so is found in the December 30, 2003 letter from Acting Attorney General James Comey to Fitzgerald in which Comey said “I hereby delegate to you all the authority of the Attorney General with respect to the Department’s investigation into the alleged unauthorized disclosure of a CIA employee’s identity; and I direct you to exercise that authority as Special Counsel independent of the supervision or control of any officer of the Department.”

Comey was even more specific in another letter to Fitzgerald on February 6, 2004 when he said the Fitzgerald’s authority “is plenary and includes the authority to investigate and prosecute violation of any federal criminal laws related to the underlying alleged unauthorized disclosure, as well as federal crimes committed in the course of, and with intent to interfere with, your investigation, such as perjury, obstruction of justice, destruction of evidence, and intimidation of witnesses; to conduct appeals arising out of the matter being investigation and/or prosecuted…”

Cloak and Dagger

CLOAK EXCLUSIVE!
by Sherman H. Skolnick, co-host
posted 10/24/05

BUSH TRYING TO SMASH INDICTMENTS!

The occupant and resident of the Oval Office is pulling out all stops to wreck pending indictments.
The not yet publicized Federal Grand Juries' True Bills apparently deal with espionage and treason committed by George W. Bush and Richard Cheney. Also likewise reportedly named in the conspiracy charges as Federal Criminal Defendants or unindicted co-conspirators are numerous other White House and Pentagon biggies and reputed spies claiming to be mass media "journalists".
Advised by Bush White House Counsel Harriet Miers, recently nominated by Bush to the U.S. Supreme Court, Bush is using the Federal Courts in the District of Columbia to contest the legal validity of the Grand Jury actions. Ostensibly contained in the federal court records but under a very stringent gag order are Bush's wild contentions to the judges that he is the victim of "a foreign-orchestrated coup" being perpetrated by his numerous Jewish-surname advisors and, as Bush accuses with generalities, jointly by "France" and "Israel".
Bluntly put, like the Bush Family long-time pro-Nazi position, George W. Bush, like Adolf Hitler, is "playing the Jew Card". This now done to evade deadly serious charges of espionage, treason, and falsely going to war against Iraq while using the White House Iraq Group as an instrument of unconstitutional treachery. The indictments mess may end up in the U.S. Supreme Court, dominated by proto-Fascist Justice Antonin Scalia, the Court in 2000 corruptly splitting 5 to 4 in Bush vs Gore.
Meanwhile, no one is reminding Bush that a G.O.P.-dominated High Court in 1974 nevertheless ruled against Nixon and caused his resignation shortly thereafter in the "White House Watergate Tape" ruckus.
If Bush told the D.C. Courts now in secret emergency sessions the TRUTH---which he is NOT doing---he would say the group historically who foment Revolution for their Globalist agenda using elite Jews, and others as a scapegoat front, are the JESUITS and other Popish Persons, a forbidden topic but not censored HERE.
More coming. Stay tuned.

October 27, 2005 -- Bush White House Meltdown. As Supreme Court pick Harriet Miers "withdrew" her name from nomination early this morning, there are more indications that the Bush White House is in free fall. There are reports that Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald has postponed announcements of indictments until tomorrow because of a number of developments. First, negotiations between Fitzgerald and Karl Rove's attorney Robert Luskin on a plea agreement apparently broke down and Rove will be indicted on up to five counts. Those negotiations likely postponed the announcement of indictments. Second, yesterday, Fitzgerald spent 45 minutes discussing the case with US District Court presiding Judge Thomas F. Hogan who has been hearing the case.

Hogan is a no-nonsense judge who, in September 2003, quashed a legal maneuver by convicted Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard's lawyers to have his espionage case reheard. What is noteworthy is that Fitzgerald may have sought Hogan's approval for a new grand jury after the current one expires tomorrow.

      

White House Meltdown: Miers: Out for SCOTUS. Rove, Hadley, Libby indictments said to come tomorrow

It is being reported that Fitzgerald's prosecution team has received significant evidence from the US Attorney for Eastern Virginia and Deputy Attorney General nominee Paul McNulty that dovetails Fitzgerald's probe with McNulty's own probe of espionage involving Pentagon officials and staffers of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC). During the 2003 hearing, Hogan was unsympathetic to Pollard's protestations that his 1987 trial was unfair. Classified documents prepared at the time of Pollard's trial described the severe damage Pollard's transmittal of highly-classified intelligence to Israel caused for U.S. national security. The Pollard case is still radioactive for the US Intelligence Community. In 1998, CIA Director George Tenet threatened to quit if President Clinton released Pollard. Interestingly, it is believed that Pollard's omission from Clinton's 2000 pardon list was compensated by the addition of fugitive financier Marc Rich's name. The Rich pardon was partly negotiated by I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, Rich's attorney and now, a prime subject of the Fitzgerald probe.

Third, Fitzgerald has reportedly leased office space at 1401 New York Avenue, directly across the street from the Bond Federal building (see Oct. 25 story below) where his offices have been housed. The recent establishment of a web site for the special prosecutor and the office lease deal indicates that the prosecution team intends to remain in operation for the foreseeable future.

The latest speculation is that Fitzgerald's sealed indictments were delivered to Judge Hogan yesterday and that they will be announced tomorrow.

Plamegate Indictment Names Are Here!

There will be no announcement today, but likely Friday.

Scoop: Richard Sale: Aides To Be Indicted, Probe to Continue

Aides To Be Indicted, Probe to Continue

By Richard Sale

Two top White House aides are expected to be indicted today on various charges related to the probe of CIA operative Valerie Plame whose classified identity was publicly breached in retaliation after her husband, Joe Wilson, challenged the administration's claim that Saddam Hussein had sought to buy enriched uranium from Niger, according to federal law enforcement and senior U.S. intelligence officials.

If no action is taken today, it will take place on Friday, these sources said.

I.Scooter Libby, the chief of staff of Vice President Richard Cheney, and chief presidential advisor, Karl Rove are expected to be named in indictments this morning by Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald.

Others are to be named as well, these source said. According to U.S. officials close to the case an bill of indictment has been in existence before October 17 which named five people. Various names have surfaced such a National Security Advisor Stephen Hadley, yet only one source would confirm that Hadley was on the list. Hadley could not be reached for comment.

But letters from Fitzgerald, notifying various White House officials that they are targets of the investigation, went out late last week, a former senior U.S. intelligence official said.

Although most press accounts emphasized that Fitzgerald was likely to concentrate on attempts by Libby Rove and others to cover-up wrongdoing by means of perjury before the grand jury, lying to federal officials, conspiring to obstruct justice, etc. But federal law enforcement officials told this reporter that Fitzgerald was likely to charge the people indicted with violating Joe Wilson's civil rights, smearing his name in an attempt to destroy his ability to earn a living in Washington as a consultant.

The civil rights charge is said to include "the conspiracy was committed using U.S. government offices, buildings, personnel and funds," one federal law enforcement official said.

Other charges could include possible violations of U.S. espionage laws, including the mishandling of U.S. classified information, these sources said.

That Vice President Cheney is at the center of the controversy comes is no surprise. Last Friday, Fitzgerald investigators were talking to Cheney's attorneys, and detailed questionnaires, designed to pin down in meticulous sequence what Cheney knew, when he knew it, and what he told his aides, were delivered to the White House on Monday, these sources said.

The probe is far from being at an end. According to this reporter's sources, Fitzgerald approached the judge in charge of the case and asked that a new grand jury be empanelled. The old grand jury, which has been sitting for two years, will expire on October 28.

Thanks to a letter of February, 2004 which Fitzgerald asked for and obtained expanded authority, the Special Prosecutor is now in possession of an Italian parliament investigation into the forged Niger documents alleging Iraq's interest in purchasing Niger uranium, sources said.

They said that Fitzgerald is looking into such individuals as former CIA agent, Duane Claridge, military consultant to the Iraqi National Congress, Gen. Wayne Downing, another military consultant for INC, and Francis Brooke, head of INC's Washington office in an effort to determine if they played any role in the forgeries or their dissemination. Also included in this group is long-time neoconservative Michael Ledeen, these federal sources said.

On the Hill, Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) and Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.), democratic whip, are asking for public hearings to lay bare the forgeries and how their false allegations ended up in President George Bush's State of the Union speech.
