2. I agree - if it works out that way. This type of thing has never
happened before - it is not addressed in the Constitution (Just re-read it last night to see what would happen) There has to be someone in a position such as the FBI or something that would work in our favor. I posted this on another board, but the current head of the FBI worked with Kerry in the past vs. the B*sh family empire in the BCCI case - I am hopeful that K/E will be able to get this man to help them now.

It's in this article on: http://www.alternet.org/election04/20268/

"The New York Fed — not Washington — also took action. It coordinated an action on the fourth of July weekend 1991 to shut BCCI down. And, finally, the DA’s investigation forced Washington to act, though it kept the case as limited as possible. Soon after, Assistant Attorney General Robert S. Mueller III (now head of the FBI) oversaw the indictment by a federal grand jury of Democratic influence-peddler and former Johnson Defense Secretary Clark Clifford and his protégé Robert Altman — the top officials of First American Bank — for misleading the Federal Reserve Board about BCCI's secret control of the bank and obstructing the Fed's inquiries into BCCI."
