NY Times: Conyers to ask FBI to explore "illegal election tampering"

Lawmaker Seeks Inquiry Into Ohio Vote
By TOM ZELLER Jr.

Published: December 15, 2004


-snip-
The ranking Democratic member of the House Judiciary Committee,
Representative John Conyers Jr. of Michigan, plans to ask the
Federal Bureau of Investigation and a county prosecutor in Ohio
today to explore "inappropriate and likely illegal election
tampering" in at least one and perhaps several Ohio counties.

The request for an investigation, made in a letter that was also
provided to The New York Times, includes accounts from at least two
county employees, but is based largely on a sworn affidavit provided
by the Hocking County deputy director of elections, Sherole Eaton.

2. This is Conyers' response to Blackwell
As in, "F you, since you won't cooperate with me, maybe you'll cooperate with the FBI."

Conyers is amazing.

9. Are the FBI really the FBI anymore?
Or are they also in Bush's "pocket?"

Don't want to see our witnesses suddenly having 'accidents' after talking to the FBI.

6. "...the FBI and a county prosecutor..."
In this case, maybe we should put our money on the county prosecutor.
