<snip>Who Is Susan Ralston? Fitz Reportedly Reinterviews Key Rove and Abramoff Aide

A US-based Philippines newspaper has reported that Plamegate prosecutor, Patrick Fitzgerald, will reinterview a key aide to Karl Rove. Susan Ralston, Rove's personal assistant, has already testified twice before the Grand Jury. Fitzgerald reportedly wants to call her back in to probe Rove's Grand Jury testimony about his conversations with TIME Magazine's Matthew Cooper.

Prior to being hired by Rove at the White House, Ms. Ralston was a lieutenant to Jack Abramoff, who is himself being probed by a Grand Jury in a wide-ranging scandal involving multiple GOP figures in improper influence peddling, campaign contribution scandals, and a network of Islamic banks with alleged ties to terrorist groups. See, http://www.dailykos.com/story/2005/10/17/122311/72

Ms. Ralston now appears to be a key figure linking Rove, Abramoff and Republican strategist Grover Norquist in an international web of intrigue, dirty money, and terrorist finance. MORE BELOW THE FOLD . . .

I just cought this story from Philippine News Online:

Top Rove aide `critical' in CIA probe dated today.

Apparently because Susan Ralston is Filipino, the foreign news service likes to keep track of her.

There is no mention of when she is expected to meet with Fitzgerald, but it makes it clear to me that Fitz isn't done with Rove yet.

Susan Ralston Controls Abramoff's access to Rove

Susan Ralston appears to have helped Reed and Norquist (and Rove?) put the squeeze on Abramoff for access to Karl Rove, TIME Online Edition. Now these guys have been working together for years and involved in each other's successes. Are we seeing in this article evidence that Reed and Norquist are controlling access to Rove so they can game Abramoff just as he was gaming them in his scam with his clients? Susan is involved up to her chin and we just have to make some waves to find out if she can swim.

Important Info: Abramoff, Ney & the Washington Post

Lost in all the news and speculation of the last few days is some great Washington Post reporting that deserves review, attention and praise.

On Sunday's there was an excellent WP article How a Lobbyist Stacked the Deck by Susan Schmidt and James V. Grimaldi. It breaks ground a yet another Abramoff scandal and marks Susan Ralston (Jack former and now Rove's Gal Friday) as an Abramoff scandal player. Reed, Norquist and others also make the cut.

jorndorff, CVDem, and EasyRider all filed Diaries on the article that should not be lost in the Plame flood.

And today the same WP team turns their attention to Abramoff and Bob Ney.

Rove's Secretary Key Criminal Witness
by EasyRider

Criminal activities seem to be the history of those who have come the College Republicans National Committee. Susan Ralston seem to be able work interchangeability with any of the former CRNC executives, Rove, Abramoff, Reid, Norquist, Blackwell, and the current CRNC leadership who have interned in the White House under Rove.

In the Washington Post article, "How a Lobbyist Stacked the Deck", the reporters pieces together some of the story of the interaction and criminal activities revolving around these players on the national stage. One of the key players, all be it a lower level is Susan Ralston. She seems to have been in on everything for several years now. It was reported that she is now performing some duties for the President now. Between Susan Ralston and Harriet Miers it is a good bet that know the dark secrets of the interactions of White House, Delay, Abramoff, Norquiest, Paul Weyrich, Scooter Libby, Rove, and Bush.

1. Here's to hoping that this "personal assistant" gave a BJ....

...to ChimpSuck so we can impeach the fucker.

[DoYouEverWonder]

2. That's the same woman that was with Rove in the WH

on election night monitoring the votes coming in from the precincts.

[Peter Frank]

3. And Bush is trying to say he knows little of Abramoff... n/t

[mopaul]

4. that man, abramoff, i think he campaigned for ann richards,

and i have never had graft relations with that man, abe jackemoff.

[rodeodance]

5. I heard yesterday that they are going after the 'staffers' next as they

are the ones who are in the know.

[Peter Frank]

6. True...

The staffers are the small fish. Abramoff himself is a small fish compared to elected officials.

Abramoff is singing for freedom better than Ashcroft by now.

[katinmn]

7. Ralston is a major link to Bush!!

Gatekeeper, mole, facilitator.

I really despise people like Ralston. She's been prostituting herself and turning her back on people she could be helping (Filipinos) for personal gain.
Seems like they passed her around like a bag of chips.

[Peter Frank]

8. Looks like Fitz is on her case big-time...

She'll skate -- only if she gives up the goods.

[0007]

17. Hope your right!

[Peter Frank]

9. Be very aware of her name coming up in the media... n/t

[MoJoWorkin]

10. Look at the body language in that pic

Why hasn't the media said one damn thing about all those fawning women, and the kissin' and huggin' that W is so fond of doing in FRONT of the cameras. Lord only knows what goes on BEHIND closed doors.

:puke: :puke:

You can be sure they would be screaming it at the top of their lungs if it were a Dem.:nuke: :banghead:

[WernhamHogg]

11. I thought the same thing!

Whenever I see a pic like that, it creeps me out. How the hell can ANY human being be so close to George and SMILE about it?!?!?!?! I feel the need for several hot showers whenever I hear that George is even in the same STATE as me.

[Peter Frank]

12. In all fairness...

Bubba got away with allot of that kind of thing (before he crossed the line).

Stay focused on the real issues & make a difference.

[DemonFighterLives]

13. Gee dubby- hardly knew his clan

This is getting exciting! :popcorn:

[Peter Frank]

14. He only knew what he was told he should know... n/t

[deminks]

15. She was Norquist/Abramoff's plant in the White House

Calls that Rove got were screened by Ralston through Norquist. Norquist gave the thumbs up or down on the call. Ralston 'used to' work for Abramoff. Google the phrase 'pimping of the president'.

http://www.texasobserver.org/showArticle_new.asp?ArticleID=13

Why were White House callers screened by a political hack? Inquiring minds want to know. This particular hack has some fascinating interests.
Google Norquist.

"Oh, who am I kidding? I'm propping him up for the photo so he doesn't keel over. Again. On me, this time."
