9/11 families to meet with AG on Murdoch scandal
Source: Associated Press

Attorney General Eric Holder has agreed to meet Aug. 24 with some of the 9/11 family members regarding the FBI inquiry into the allegations surrounding Rupert Murdoch's media empire, a lawyer said Wednesday.

According to a London tabloid's story based on unnamed sources, a former New York police officer-turned-private investigator said he'd been contacted by journalists from Murdoch's News of the World who offered to pay him to retrieve private phone records of Sept. 11 victims in the United States. The story said the investigator turned down the proposal.

The U.S.-based parent company of Murdoch's operations, News Corp., has said that "we have not seen any evidence to suggest there was any hacking of 9/11 victim's phones, nor has anybody corroborated what are clearly very serious allegations.

Justice Department spokeswoman Tracy Schmaler confirmed the meeting date.

1. The London tabloid which made the claim
was the Sunday Mirror. They got the allegation from an undisclosed source which wasn't the New York police officer-turned-private investigator. The subject remains a mystery as the Sunday Mirror remains the sole source and they have yet to substantiate the claim. :shrug:

2. If Holder pulls any of his crap with them I'm going to get really pissed
He's been a real disappointment going after perfectly legal medical marijuana clinics. I hope he doesn't say there's no indication of wrongdoing because we won't believe him. I hate that whitewash crap too.

6. Mudock, US Chamber & California Courts~Scared Bloggers
Hi. I am a whistle blower of how it became a fraud in US
public health policy that it was scientifically proven water
damaged, moldy buildings don't harm. Its involves the US
Chamber of Commerce and billions in insurer fraud. Have a
marketing degree and tracked their spins. I was able to get a
front page Wall Street Journal article on the subject in Jan
2007. Spent six months working with the reporter, David
Armstrong. Search "Amid Suits Over Mold Experts Wear Two
Hats". In 2008, Murdock bought the WSJ, and this
investigative journalist branch out of Boston was shut down. I
was able to get a Federal GAO audit with the assistance of the
Dem. Senate HELP Committe. But the fraud continues in public
health policies throughout the US. No one will directly
challenge the Chamber here in the US for collusion to mass
market a fraud into US public health policy.

It gets worse. For six years, the Ca courts have been
harassing me, trying to silence me of the fraud and what they
did to aid it. The corruption goes all the way up to the Chief
Justice's office. I was sent a fake judgment document from the
court in 2009 that was never in the court records. They
ignored the evidence that the US Chamber medico-legal author
was committing perjury to establish reason for malice while
strategically litigating to shut me up. They ignored the
evidence that a retired high level CDC NIOSH employee was an
undisclosed party to the litigation. 

As of May 6, 2011, the fake legal document that originated
from the courts was mailed to a blog owner in Tx to threaten
her to shut up. She has the documents on her blog, Katy's
Exposure, proving what the courts have done to aid the fraud
of the Chamber to continue. She has been severely hacked via
her Blackberry and UVerse/AT&T. The CA judicial system is
collapsing under the weight of fraud, abuse and cronyism of
which we can clearly evidence. Others who work in the courts
know more. Search "KATY'S EXPOSURE CALIFORNIA JUDICIAL
SYSTEM IMPLODES UNDER WEIGHT OF INEPT LEADERSHIP".  
HELP!!!!  WE'RE SCARED because we can and we have evidenced so
much.
