Bush Imploded! Why Am I Not Fucking Ecstaticly Happy?

Dated November 5, 1998 (105th Congress, 2d Session, House Report 105-829), the Congressional Committee on Government Reform and Oversight (chaired by Indiana Republican Dan Burton) in its Interim Report on the Investigation of Political Fundraising Improprieties and Possible Violations of Law (Chapter V, B: FEC Enforcement Practices and the Case Against Foreign National Thomas Cramer: Did Prominent DNC Fundraisers Receive Special Treatment?, in the internet,

http://www.house.gov/reform/reports/fundraising/index.htm) reported on the question why the FEC failed to prosecute Marvin Rosen in the Thomas Kramer case, despite the FEC’s finding that Rosen had been a solicitor of Kramer’s donations.

With relation to Marvin Rosen, the Interim Report states: „Although he was the key DNC finance official during the 1996 campaign, Marvin Rosen has to date been largely overlooked in the campaign finance investigation. During his tenure as DNC Finance Chairman, Rosen was connected and involved with a number of questionable activities: … .” „The Committee also discovered that Rosen solicited $60,000 from Kramer at an event in March 1994 and another $65,000 from Kramer through his companies. Both of the contributions violated 2 U.S.C. § 441e.”

At „V. Conclusion”, the chapter of the Interim Report concludes: „Perhaps more important, the FEC appears to have done nothing to pursue the allegations of wrongdoing against Marvin Rosen. Although the Committee recognizes that the FEC must prioritize its many cases, few things would rival in importance the possibility that one of the titular heads of either the Democratic or Republican parties is involved in criminal conduct that cannot be explained away … .”

In two articles on February 1, 2000, the Tampa Tribune reported on a possible repetition of the non-prosecution of Marvin Rosen in another case of allegedly illegal campaign funding: „Marvin Rosen, a possible repeat violator of campaign law, had time on his side. The Federal Election Commission let the statute of limitations expire rather than pursue a politically powerful South Florida lawyer, even though commissioners agreed they had reason to believe he violated federal campaign law in connection with the Future Tech International Case.” The other article reports: „Future Tech in Miami and four executives agree to pay a fine for violating campaign laws.” The fines total $209,000, but Marvin Rosen was not fined.

Answer: Greenberg Traurig, the Democratic powerhouse law firm. The firm where the DNC Finance Chairman of 1995-97 Marvin S. Rosen was and is the politically most powerful senior partner, a well-known fixer of the political scene.


9. A note aside: Power politics in the U.S.A. have little to do with the distinction between „Democrats” and „Republicans”. Real power is held by a secret one-Nazi party sometimes referred to as the Republocrats, in other contexts referred to as America’s „shadow government”.


10. This most important litigation for U.S. politics was fixed in secret, not decided according to proper procedure and law. For the general framework of this system of fixes and imbalances outside the U.S. Constitution, see part 1 of this series linked at the top of this page.


11. I make reference to an archived report of CNN:

If you leave out the „buts”, CNN reported this (direct quotes):

- Supreme Court Justices Clarence Thomas and Antonin Scalia both have family connections to George W. Bush’s side.

- Two of Scalia’s nine children are connected with law firms representing Bush.

• Eugene Scalia, 37, is a partner in the Washington office of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher, where Bush lawyer Theodore Olson also is a partner.

• John Scalia, 35, has accepted a job offer with the Washington office of Greenberg Traurig. Another Bush lawyer, Barry S. Richard, is a partner in that firm’s Tallahassee office.

Neither son is directly involved in the case. Eugene Scalia specializes in labor law. John Scalia won’t actually join the Greenberg, Traurig firm until sometime next year, according to partner Joe Reeder, who said the job was offered weeks before the election and has no connection to the Florida case.


12. Actually, there are numerous Bush-Greenberg Traurig connections of a shady political nature, see

13. As a further bribery pay-back, President-Pretender Bushfraud appointed Eugene Scalia to the post of Solicitor of Labor in a recess appointment a year later on 11 January 2002,
