CEO RESIGNS FROM MISSOURI LEGAL FIRM EMBROILED IN U.S. ATTORNEY PURGE, GOP 'VOTER FRAUD' SCAM
Is the Noose Tightening Around Lathrop & Gage, Thor Hearne, Gov. Matt Blunt and the American Center for Voting Rights Corrupt Law Firm?


BREAKING from Kansas City Business Journal:

In early April, Tom Stewart announced that he would leave his position as chief executive at Lathrop & Gage LC to become chairman, effective July 1. Instead, he has left the firm altogether.


KC Star's breaking coverage reports that "Stewart held the top job at the firm for 18 years. During his tenure the firm grew from about 60 attorneys to 280."

What might all of this have to do with our coverage of Lathrop & Gage's connection to the U.S. Attorney Purge scandal, and the White House, as we've been recently reporting in some detail?

Read on...

3. Oh, Thor is so right in the middle of everything.
Has anyone ever looked into possible connections between him and SMARTtech? If there were, that would be very enlightening.

5. That's where the Thor/ACVR "Voter Fraud" story begins...

...See my special coverage page on ACVR here:
http://www.BradBlog.com/ACVR

The very first story in the list of key stories on the entire scam, is about Thor's appearance as little more than a self-described "long time voting rights advocate" at Bob Ney's only hearing on the '04 Election in Ohio.

13. From a previous post you had up 2 days ago
Brad,

I live in Columbus, OH and the Ohio State University's Moritz College of Law
was used as a "firewall" to keep the story that the election in 2004 was in
Ohio was won by Kerry but flipped to bush damped down. O.S.U.'s Law School
and it's election's "problems" study group were ready to go well before 11/2/04.

They were present when Bob Ney held his "show trial" that Hearne attended and
gave testimony at to "muddy the waters" about Ohio 2004.

Contact them and ask 'em about Ken Blackwell using Smartech* in Chattanooga, TN
to handle the data for the election in 2004.


* Smartech = R.N.C. = gwb43.com = bush/Cheney 04

8. 3 law firms now tied to purgegate now: Lathrop and Gage(Cummins, fired),
Edited on Thu May-17-07 11:31 PM by caligirl
Gibson Dunn and Crutcher(Yang resigned and took 1.5 mill), Greenberg Truarig( Tallahassee USA resigned) all USA were part of the purge and all these firms were Republican tied. Abramoff to Greenberg Traurig, Ted Olson and another high level GOP point person within Gibson Dunn and Crutcher. Rove friends Mark Hearn and Matt Blunt to L&G under investigation. All loyal bushies either took in a USA or helped to get one fired.

All firms involvedin illegal activity, all tied to the purge. How many more firms in the republican party are tied to this.

11. Federal Judges
Is it a conflict of interest if a federal judge, who was appointed by George Jr, has a wife who works for a conservative think tank?

12. It's no wonder The Dems are so slow with the subpoenas
Damn how do you figure out who to subpoena first?

Can they just issue a blanket subpoena covering this damn whole administration and anyone they have come into contact with for the past 10 years?

We gonna need bigger prisons!

17. Here is the link to the story from the KC Biz Jrnl:
http://www.bizjournals.com/kansascity/stories/2007/05/14/daily22.html

snip "Stewart's future with the firm had been in doubt since Fitter sent the firm's staff and attorneys a recent memo announcing that Stewart had requested a 90-day sabbatical. Stewart requested the leave for matters having to do with personal and family health, and he started it on April 23." snip

Pleeeeeaaassse, someone get these guys!
