On questioning, FBI's Mueller 'has not heard of' challenges to voting rights of the foreclosed.

Meanwhile, up on the Hill today at House Judiciary, FBI Director Robert Mueller was the only witness. On questioning by Maxine Waters, Mueller claimed he's not familiar with the voter caging going on, targeting people who have been foreclosed out of their homes. And, he could not name the Head of the Civil Rights Division in his own department, who Mueller promised to make sure was aware of it.



IT'S TIME TO GET THIS ONGOING GOP ELECTION FRAUD INTO THE CONVERSATION.

And for Mr. Mueller, it's time to start cleaning out his desk.

Multiple Congressmen expressed frustration at the inefficacy of FBI oversight as currently carried out by the House Judiciary Committee in a hearing today. FBI Director Robert Mueller was the sole witness. Chairman John Conyers (D-Mich.) opened the session complaining in an exasperated tone that the committee had not yet received a response to a September 5 letter asking about “the FBI’s anthrax investigation, disturbing revelations about the Bureau’s improper collection of information on reporters, the FBI’s approach to this country’s mortgage fraud crisis, and the expanded investigative and intelligence gathering powers resulting from the proposed Attorney General Guidelines concerning the FBI’s domestic operations.”

Congresswoman Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) asked Director Mueller about allegations that voters will be challenged at polling places if their homes have been foreclosed on. Mueller said he had not heard about that particular plan. He said the Department of Justice Civil Rights Division would investigate any such issue, though Mueller was unable to name the head of that division without the help of an aide. Mueller promised to follow up on making sure the Civil Rights Division knew about the problem, and Chairman Conyers assured Waters that Civil Rights Division head Grace Chung Becker would be testifying before the committee soon.

4. Isn't it great to have Democrats finally go after voter fraud?

About time. Maybe Greg Palast will finally get his just due.
