FWIW--"Federal Whistle Blower Claims Chicago Grand Jury Indicted Bush..." |
|
I don't know if this has been posted yet and I can't attest to the credibility of the source, but it does tend to brighten one's day...:) Enjoy! Federal Whistle Blower Claims Chicago Grand Jury Indicted Bush And Others For Perjury and Obstruction Of Justice; U.S. Attorney's Office Says 'No Comment,' Refusing To Confirm Or Deny Alleged Indictments.
Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald's investigation into the Valerie Plame-CIA leak has now spilled over into Bush administration lies involving 9/11 and the war in Iraq, according to sources close to the Chicago probe. August 2, 2005
By Greg Szymanski
Sources close to the Chicago federal grand jury probe into perjury and obstruction charges against President Bush and others said indictments were handed down this week, but a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office of the Northern District of Illinois refused to comment.
“We are not talking about any aspect of this case and our office is not commenting on anything regarding the investigation at this time,” said Randall Sanborn from the office of U.S. federal prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald, the attorney conducting the grand jury probe into whether Bush and others in his administration violated federal law in a number of sensitive areas, including the Valerie Plame CIA leak case, involvement in 9/11 and the illegal nature of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
In December 2003, Fitzgerald was named Special Counsel to investigate the alleged disclosure of the identity of who leaked information in the Plame case, but the present grand jury probe has expanded to include the wide-reaching crime allegations as new information surfaced.
Although the U.S. Attorney’s office in Chicago is staying silent, it is well known that Fitzgerald is digging deep into an assortment of serious improprieties among many Bush administration figures based, in part, on subpoenaed testimony provided by former Secretary of State Colin Powell.
According to federal whistleblower Tom Heneghen, who recently reported on www.truthradio.com, Powell testified before the citizen grand jury that President Bush had taken the U.S. to war illegally based on lies, which is a capital crime involving treason under the U.S. Code.(more) http://www.arcticbeacon.com/articles/article/1518131/30722.htm

4. There has not been a second source to confirm any of this.... |

So most folks are not accepting it as authentic, it seems?

9. Regardless of its authenticity, |
|
it does raise interesting questions.
How would members of a sitting president's administration be indicted, if, as is said so often, over the years they have usurped most all legal checks and balances to executive authority?
If this were to occur because there still are remaining legal checks and balances, would it be kept quiet for security reasons until all legal avenues of defense had been exhausted, or a new administration was already in place?
How does the above change with a presumption of guilt and the further corollary that they likely wouldn't limit themselves to only legal activities of defense?
