Ed Meese calls for Gorelick's resignation
just saw it on Abrams' show

what was that all about? they didn't say

and, gee, I wonder why he didn't call, just for fun, on Zelikow to resign.

isn't he orders of magnitude more compromised than Gorelick?

her own conflict is working for that HUGE firm that's representing the two rich Saudis.

how come nobody on the tube mentions that?

and WHY don't they "deputize" Kristen Breitweiser, so she can ask all the question the Warren Commissioners WON'T?

huh?

wasn't it being considered at one point to put one of the family members on the commission?

1. Good point about Breitweiser...
She's a shark, and she should be!

2. On what grounds?
What reason did Meese give?

PS. What's that firm Gorelick worked for?

8. probably her memo
advising intel and law enforcement to refrain from sharing info. She should have disclosed that right off the bat. Witholding it looks bad.

23. Didn't Asscroft say he was de-classifying that memo just today?
How could Gorelick be accused of "withholding" a classified memo?

It looks as though Asscroft cherry-picked a diversion to de-classify so the panel member most informed about DOJ could not question him. After all, his preparation for AG was being Governor of MO, trying to amend the Constitution to strip off the 4th-6th Amendments, and losing an election for Senator to a dead man. Gorelick would have NAILED him while exposing his incompetence to the world.

14. no sh**

he CLEARLY was way way up in the obstruction of justice whirlwind surrounding Iran/Contra, and is one of the sleaziest, slimiest, filthiest scuzmongers of that entire administration.

4. Ed Meese - the guy who gave Ollie North 3 days to shred papers.
Ollie did it while Meese's people were in his office.

6. That's a BS Republican Ploy
Gorelick is one of the most informed commissioners on that panel. Its too bad BushCo and its supporters are so afraid of the truth that they are now trying to twist the media into scapegoating innocent truth seekers on this panel.

11. I Hope Breitweiser And The Jersey Girls Write A Book...It Would
be a monster best seller.... They know the questions that aren't being asked, like how the FBI, which was so technologically backward, swooped down on all those flight schools within hours and came up with surveillance video of Atta, before his picture was ever sent around to authorities.

She also picked up on a passage from Bush at War where Tenet says the chatter increased AGAIN just before 9-11.

12. I think "Big" Jim Thompson should resign.
As I said in an earlier thread, what a "horse's ass". I'm surprised Asscroft didn't kiss him after he got through testifying.

15. Why would he call for her resignation when
she was chosen for her conflicts? Oh that's right, one of the reasons for choosing people with conflicts, is so pugs can now get the bushbots all pumped up...and ask for resignations.

Choreographed down to the final act--the report.

20. here's why Gorelick's taking heat
Edited on Tue Apr-13-04 05:35 PM by buycitgo
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x1401402

the header says this

"Ted Olsen who sat behind Asscroft at the hearings. Olsen found a memo in which Gorelick put in place prohibitions between CIA and FBI Intelligence Exchange. Asscroft surprised Commish with this.

Lou's Trick was confronting Gorelick saying there are people "who have challenged your role on this Commission because you were part of the Clinton administration and therefore you should have recused yourself from asking questions."

Gorelick was blindsided by Lou's attack. She looked like a deer in the headlights, and while she tried admirably to defend her role on the Commission Lou just kept going at her.

Lou got info from Olsen. He's NOT the good guy we think he is!"

it's Olson, FWIW

22. all she had to do was mention her own law firm.....hahahaha
OR bring up Zelikow's MYRIAD conflicts

he's RUNNING the whole thing!

check the Sheehy Observer article from March 24 or 25.

he's the gatekeeper of classified docs, decides who testifies, and some other stuff, too.

not to mention he was part of the transition team, regarding NATIONAL SECURITY, working with CONDI on that, in addition to writing a BOOK with her

but you already knew that, didn't you?

why didn't she bring it up?

and WHY doesn't Zelikow EVER appear on TV?

21. Under Meese' criteria
half the commission should resign. They're all walking bags of conflict of interests.

25. Ed Meese is a somewhat behind the scenes author of cabal plans
He is at the highest pinnacle of planning for the cabal - he is a Bush handler and string puller. He tells others what to do. You know they are serious when they put him out in front of the TV - he and C Boyden Grey. Both from the Federalists.
