DoJ Inspector General Investigating Bush Stopping of Abramoff Case in 2002
Inspector General Investigating Bush Stopping of Abramoff Case in 2002:Media Won't Report
by Sherlock Google


Abramoff Personal Secretary Sue Ralston
With President of the Corrupted States George W. Bush

Don't forget that Jack Abramoff's own secretary, Susan Ralston, became Karl Rove's Personal Assistant, and that Abramoff said he contacted Rove personally on relieving his client Tyco from having to pay some taxes and still be able to get federal contracts. Abramoff said "he had contact with Mr. Karl Rove" on Tyco.

But that's not the half of it! It was only revealed this August that in 2002 Bush himself fired a prosecutor, Frederick Black, investigating Abramoff over a scandal in Guam. Rove recommended the replacement and the inquiry of Abramoff ended! ""The demotion of ... Black looks political and should be investigated," Melanie Sloan, executive director of CREW, said in a press release." It would be Obstruction of Justice by Bush if true, and I personally believe it to be Obstruction, given what we already know.

Yet the media today is just asking about staff meetings. There's way more than that alreday under investigation!

2. Smoking Gun?
I wonder how many pictures the White House has found and scrubbed?

3. Snotty, any recollections on any of this in the Alzheimer White House?
John Conyers in August asked for an investigation for possible Obstruction of Justice charges against Bush for abruptly ending an inquiry on Abramoff and Guam. Bush (or the RNC) never repaid Abramoff's firm, Greenberg, $314,000 in bills for the 2000 Recount, making it in effect a HUGE in-kind contribution to Bush! SO BUSH OWES ABRAMOFF BIG-TIME. And Abramoff himself was a "Pioneer", raising over $100,000 for Bush in 2004.

These dates ring any bells?
Subpoena issued Nov. 18, 2002
Bush demotes Black on Nov. 19, 2002.
