"A Lawyer & National Security Cover-ups"

From Consortium News:

"Two years ago, Wilson’s 1983 conviction for selling weapons and explosives to Libya was thrown out by an outraged federal judge after he learned that a government affidavit – denying that Wilson was in contact with the CIA – was a lie. Wilson, who is now out of prison, has filed complaints against Barcella with the District of Columbia Bar Association, according to ABC News’ “Nightline,” which interviewed Wilson for a story that aired on April 27.

Barcella denied wrongdoing in connection with the bogus Wilson affidavit, which concealed about 80 contacts between Wilson and the CIA during the time period when Wilson was selling materiel to Moammar Khadafy’s Libya, then considered a chief sponsor of international terrorism.

But Barcella also appears to have withheld evidence in another national security investigation of the so-called “October Surprise” case, allegations that the Reagan-Bush campaign interfered with President Carter’s efforts to free 52 American hostages before the pivotal 1980 election. In 1992-93, Barcella headed a House task force which investigated the accusations and exonerated the Republicans."

Snip

"The House task force report “debunking” the October Surprise allegations was accepted by Official Washington as the final word on the controversy. But subsequent discoveries have shown that the Barcella-led task force hid substantial evidence pointing toward Republican guilt as well as the involvement of some Barcella associates in the scandal."

1. I knew Barcella was involved in covering up Bush crimes for decades.

He puts on a bi-partisan face as he manipulates the results of the investigations he is involved with.....scum. He's right up there with Robert Mueller.

2. WOW, nice to see the details after all of these years.

At the center of so many secrets and wrong doing since Kennedy administration- George H.W. Bush. How in the world did a spook get elected president in a democracy ?

He incapacitated the actual president. Hinckley failed unlike the Kennedy case.

Edit: Bu$h1 got 3 terms.

4. Thanks for this by Rob't Parry

The persistence of this guy amazes me. Parry's literally the only journalist in the U.S. still following the (2nd?) biggest cover-up of all time - the "October Surprise" story. Amazing. There's still hard news here that's not making it past the MSM gatekeepers - any coverage now might call their their previous news judgment into question. United We Stand. :patriot: :rofl:


Parry makes all the rest seem like such dilitantes.

5. Parry's new work also casts serious doubt onto Lee Hamilton's integrity

Hamilton cochaired both the Iran-Contra ("October Suprise") and the 9/11 commissions.

Recall what I said above about the (2nd) biggest coverup in history.

8. Long-time Representative from Indiana

Was a contender for a * appointment to Tenet's post as CIA Director, despite Hamilton being a nominal Democrat.

What does that tell you? :bounce:
