This ought to be a big story, but so far it's been swept under the rug by the dinosaur media.
Human rights attorney Scott Horton reports that the Bush regime's so-called Department of Justice hatched a vast right-wing plot back in 2001 or 2002. The Bush brain trust - which assumed that John Edwards or Hillary Clinton would be the Democratic presidential nominee in 2004 - identified potential backers of Edwards and Clinton. The Bush regime proposed raiding law offices of lawyers who backed the assumed Democratic ticket, seizing all politically oriented documents that they might possess, and using the documents to view the Democrats' campaign strategy.
From what I can gather, it looks like several of these rogue raids actually were carried out all over the U.S. and A. Apparently the attorneys who were raided didn't raise a stink about the involvement of John Ashcroft and Alberto Gonzales (both of whom were reported to be personally involved) because they didn't want to be intimidated further.
Whatever happened here, it's clear that major crimes were committed. (Big surprise, huh?) Not like we expect the right-wing media to get on the job in getting to the bottom of it.

Department of Justice plotted against Edwards and Hillary Clinton

The "dinosaur" media can't and won't touch this if no one is willing to talk on record. Unlike blogs, the real news media has to concern itself with credibility. If it didn't, there'd be Roswell and Big Foot stories in the newspaper every day. Besides, the first clue this might be bogus is lawyers keeping quiet. When has that ever happened?
ReplyDeleteThe first clue this might not be bogus is that it happened to no fewer than five different lawyers.
