The Obvious
I was reading some FEC stuff tonight and in case anyone's wondering, you're supposed to call the FBI if you have any actual evidence of federal election fraud. So far, Conyers and Clint Curtis are the only ones I know of who've done this. So everyone who really thinks they have that smoking gun should be calling the Bureau. So have ya?

3. I stand corrected. Thanks.
So anybody else want to post anything about their experience actually reporting fraud to the authorities? It would be interesting reading and of course it can be anonymous here.

10. Well, there was this discrepancy in the exit polls and....
Just kidding! I haven't reported anything. I have no first hand knowledge. I'd like to see if anyone else does though. It might provide a ray of hope.

And in case anyone does, I just wanted to provide the official advice about how to proceed.

8. Speaking of Jeff Fisher.....
Has anyone heard anything at all from/about him since Rep Conyers set him up with one of his staff lawyers to speak with?

4. YOu kidding me? The FBI's job is damage control for the White House

They are only going to gather evidence so they can suppress it. Contact Conyers if you know of election crimes that have been commited. Whatever you do, do not hand over your only copy of any important evidence to the FBI or any local law enforcement. That is like flushing it down the toilet.


The FBI has only been doing its job for a couple of decades. Before that, for many years under Hoover, the FBI existed to entrap political enemies of Hoover and/or the administration. Under Bush and Co. it has reverted to its old tricks. The FBI is not law enforcement when it comes to politics. It is the US equivalent of the old Soviet KGB.

11. OK. So how do you think Conyers will proceed if given evidence?
At some point, some law enforcement people will have to get involved. Who might they be, if not the FBI? I'm serious.
