Sexual Blackmail from the Bush DOJ?

http://www.margieburns.com/blog/_archives/2009/8/22/4296606.html


More suggestions of sexual blackmail from the Bush Department of Justice—raising questions of whom else they held that stick over:

-snip-

For background, here: In the politicized firings of some federal prosecutors and the equally politicized retentions of others, Karl Rove was—as he himself has put it—a “conduit.” The personnel manipulations were not, of course, just an end in themselves. They were also the means to an end—the selective and politicized prosecutions of local elected officials, mostly Democratic, around the country. See the short video pamphlet produced by Project Save Justice for quick overview. The pattern of selective prosecution under the previous administration has been criticized by a distinguished panel of attorneys, retired judges and former government officials.

And here, a new wrinkle: Among other unsavory tactics, did the Bush DOJ engage in behind-the-scenes sexual blackmail against critics or legal witnesses?

***
In December of 2008, I was contacted by an individual I knew and her attorney about the OPR conducting an investigation on me and asking questions about my sex life and the adoption of my four-year-old daughter. I contacted the man they identified as working for the DOJ OPR, Jim Sullivan, who happens to work for Alice Martin. I asked him if I was the target of an investigation since he had conversations with the woman who contacted me about whether I had bought a baby for $300,000.00 after his asking her about it. He would not confirm or deny if I was a target to investigation on the ridiculous claim that I had bought a baby for $300,000.00, which was untrue, but he admitted asking the questions the woman said he had asked her.

read her whole letter and see how she outs Rove and his lies and manipulations and damns the newspaper

1. On a side note, members of the GOP think that everyone has
plenty of money to use for whatever immoral purposes suit them.

2. Bob "Gold Bars" Luskin's worst enemy is his own client.
Every time Karl says or writes anything, he puts himself in greater jeopardy, due to his inability to keep trying the same dirty tricks that got him into this ol' mess in the first place.

3. I believe Karl and Cheney are so arrogant and so full of themselves
that everytime they write an ariticle, appear on television they are providing documented evidence of their crimes. They contradict themselves over and over again....

Rove was as nasty as they get, he embodied McCarthyism to the t. He got those 9 attorneys blackballed and destroyed their careers. He enjoyed it, I want him prosecuted for what crimes they can prove.
