Bachmann's Hubris May Land Her in Jail

Michelle Bachmann is an arrogant holier than thou (who chomps on Keilbasa good) - and abuses her staff like a Queen who would axe anyone getting in the way. She has a Bachmann-gate scandal brewing on many levels - including one that Minnesota is working fiendishly to bury (that of Frank Vennes).

Bachmann's haughtier is based on her desire to be in the limelight and she should be careful what she wishes for.


As reported by PoliticusUSA.com's reporter Jason Easly;

Michele Bachmann's Scandal Could Be Turning Criminal As the FBI Investigates

While she continues to call for President Obama to be impeached, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) is being investigated by the FBI for campaign finance violations.

So far, the Office of Congressional Ethics, the FEC, and the Iowa state senate ethics committee, and a special prosecutor are investigating a series of potential violations that include possible improper payments to an Iowa state senator, using campaign resources to promote her book, the theft of an email list of Iowa homeschoolers, and money laundering.

A new PPP poll released today found Jim Graves leading Bachmann 47%-45% in a potential rematch of their close 2012 matchup. Bachmann barely beat Graves by less than 5,000 votes last year, and that was before she became the focus of up to six probes and investigations.

PolitiscusUSA.com story references the Minnesota Post article

"FBI joins probe of Bachmann's presidential campaign"

The FBI is investigating complaints of alleged campaign finance violations in Rep. Michele Bachmann's presidential campaign.

The FBI joins the Office of Congressional Ethics, the Federal Elections Commission and an Iowa state Senate ethics committee in probing whether Bachmann's presidential campaign paid an Iowa state senator from her MichelePAC, a fund that should not have been used for campaign expenses, and whether the state senator stole the email list of an Iowa home-school group from another Bachmann staffer, Barbara Hekki, prior to the Iowa caucuses in January, 2012.

Andy Parrish, former Bachmann chief of staff and one of the directors of Bachmann's Iowa GOP presidential campaign, will be interviewed by the FBI, according to his attorney, John Gilmore.

[br][hr]
[br]
Activist/ Cartoonist Avidor was compelled to yank down his web/blogs, specifically the one titled "Dumb Bachmann" (dot com and Blogger)' For the most part a media outlet was sued (for stating fact) and Avidor was also named. The courts appears to be permitting the law firms involved to make out like bandits; when the case should have been tossed as hogwash.

Fortunately, the "Ripple in Stillwater" website is still up - with similar info.

As quoted by the Minnesota Star Tribune (back in 2006)

Michele Bachmann states;

Romney the Racketeer Chronicles - Part 2: Pitten's Seedy Funding-No Good Can Come of Bad


[br][hr]
[br]
[center]Mitt Romney Formed & Continues Bain Capital with Seedy Monies[/center]

[br]
How Romney's Racketeering Empire Began & Continues This Very Day
[br
--------It is my quest, to get an arrest, of Mitt (the RICO Boss Pitt's) Romney. These chronicles of "Romney the Racketeer" will continue to document his organized criminal empire that has been vastly hidden from the public's eyes. Main stream, in part, is owned/controlled by Mitt Romney's Bain Capital through such entities like Clear Channel Communications and its 800 stations (that reaches over 100 million listeners with bias shows like Rush Limbaugh and Hannity).
[br]
.......... Looming large is the big question" how is it that Bain Capital was able to buy (the losing money) Clear Channel and maintain it". The answer is simple. Our nation is Romney/Bain Capital (and lessor known Sankaty) vault. They simply go out and fleece public & private companies - Illegally! Doing so, because (like Goldman Sachs) Bain Capital is Above the Law!
[br]
......... Mitt Romney is a RICO boss and Bain Capital/cohort/ cronies - are his gang[br]
[center] Fret not my DU friends - I can provide proof vast![/center]
[br]
[hr]
[center]How Willard (Mitt) Romney Began Bain Capital[/center]

[br]

[br]
  • - Bain & Company separated from Romney's Bain Capital
  • - Salvadoran "Death Squad" provided a seedy $9 million to initially fund Bain Capital (HuffPo story - HERE )
  • - Fraudster Michael Milken funded Romney's Stage Stores (see Taibbi's "Greed & Debt" story).
  • - MNAT law firm merged Romney's entity 'The Learning Company' with Mattel in 1999 (investors lost billions)
  • - Stage Stores (funded by Milken fraud monies) - goes bankrupt in 2000
  • - FDIC Charter Granite Bank (of Stage STores) is sold to World Bank for $150 million
  • - Bain acquires Kay Bee (Michael Glazer CEO) in fall of 2000 - NOTE: Glazer is also a director at Stage STores
  • - GSachs takes eToys public in 1999 - MNAT represents Sachs in Delaware becomes eToys attorney via Perjury!
  • - eToys Bankrupt in 2001 - Paul Traub & Barry Gold from Stage Stores - pretend to be MNAT/Bain opponents
  • - Bain bids tens of millions to buy eToys; But MNAT, Traub and Barry Gold reduce that to almost free
  • - Michael Glazer pays himself $18 million and Bain Capital $83 million and then files bankruptcy of Kay Bee
  • - Romney (purportedly) resigns as Bain's CEO in August 2001
  • - An MNAT law partner becomes the Delaware United States Attorney on August 2, 2001
  • - Barry Gold and MNAT nominated Traub's firm to prosecute Goldman Sachs in New York Supreme Court
  • - MNAT represents Bain Capital in $83 million fraud and Paul Traub asked court to be prosecutor of Glazer/Bain
  • - Delaware Department of Justice allows MNAT to Destroy eToys Books & Records
  • - Also in the Kay Bee case - Delaware DOJ asks judge to Strike and Expunge evidence of MNAT/Traub frauds
  • - MNAT/Traub confess lying 34 times to court; but Delaware federal system of justice so that's No Perjury

[center] Romney, Bain & the 2 Gay's [/center]
[br]
......... Sorry to burst your bubble; but I've got no "seedy" proof that Romney is gay (though there's substantial evidence he may have a kid by his nanny). What we do have is two people name gay - apropos. Frank William ("Bill&quot Gay was Howard Huges partner/counsel (and reportedly it is Bill Gay's family connection who drugged up Howard Hughes). It is reported (at least currently) upon the www.MNAT.com website (between 1960 and 1980) that Morris Nichols Arsht & Tunnell law firm, handled Howard Hughes aircraft. Upon the surreptitious demise of Howard Hughes, MNAT switches sides and represents the Mormon churhes claim of Howard Hughes "WILL"/estate.
[br]
......... The other Gay is Bob Gay (Bain Capital managing director for 15 years) and is now at Huntsman Gay.
[br]
[center] Now you have background on 1 way that Romney winds up with MNAT[/center]


[br]
[hr]
MItt Romney the Racketeer - continues.
[br]
Let's face it, the country came too dang close to election a RICO boss Romney as POTUS. Bain Capital began with "seedy" monies from Salvadoran "Death Squads" and such other fundings as Michael Milken. How Romney was able to keep Milken's money (and then file bankruptcy on it later) - is also a big story. As reported by Rolling Stone's September 2012 cover story titled "Greed and Debt" True Story about Mitt Romney and Bain Capital; activist Matt Taibbi points out the fact that the Judge over Milken's case, had a wife who was partners in Romney's Stage Stores deal.
[br]
Then, with the other Organized Crime sprees of The Learning Company, Kay Bee, Stage Stores/ Co-Debtor with Liquidity Solutions ("KEY&quot , Kay Bee and eToys - etc., Romney's RICO empire and his gang continue to do wrong anywhere they wish. MNAT's partner in crime (Colm Connolly) - did refuse to investigate and/or prosecute his former partner (MNAT) and that firms clients (Bain/Romney/GSachs) for 7 years.
[br]
[center]If ONLY Taibbi had told the Whole Story
[br] I guess no one cares about trying to winning a Pulitzer Prize anymore.
[/center]
[br][hr]
Criminal Genius is the Bankruptcy Ring part of the Racketeering
[br]
--------- It is easy for Bain Capital to make money. They have a GUARANTEE of success. As Romney told "you people" that he doesn't have to inform U.S. of what's in his "Off Shore" tax havens, while he "flip flops" on the issues that he LIED to the entire country about when he left Bain Capial; because - HEY - he's simply "retroactivily" retired from August 2, 2001 back to February 1999. Which just so happens to be the time of the organized crimes mentioned above, while also being the very same exact time that Colm Connolly was a partner of MNAT. (see New Yorker on the Real Romney scandal - HERE ) and Colm F'n Connolly's Dept of Justice Office of Legal Policy Resume - ( HERE ).
[br]
[center]Kay Bee & eToys have been bankrupt multiple times - winding back up at Bain under Toys R Us[/center]
[br]
[hr]
I leave this segment of the Romney the Racketeer Chronicles with a Youtube video explaining "bust outs" by Bain
[br]

[br][hr]
[center]Nothing good shall come of the BAD Romney
Except for his incarceration![/center]

As you can see by the preponderance of the evidence, Romney's Bain Capital money was seedy from the outset, of Salvadoran questionable sourcing. Then he went and made some bargain with a federal judge to give Michael Milken a short term and the judge's wife big profits in Stage Stores. This set the stage for future federal corruption efforts because Romney realized that "hey - the suckers aren't screaming about it".
[br]
So Mitt begins his MNAT, Paul Traub, Michael Glazer and Barry Gold crime sprees with Mattel/ The Learning Company, Stage Stores/Liquidity Solutions, Kay Bee and eToys. Simply filing bankruptcy over and over again, sticking U.S. and the creditors with the bill. Here's a link to Think Progress history on Romney/Bain cases ( HERE ).
[br]
Even though we've compelled confessions to 34 lies under oath, to a Chief Federal Justice (MFW), the courts said we don't have its permission to inform it about fraud. Meanwhile the autocratic Colm Connolly works as a corrupt federal prosecutor and refuses - for 7 years - to investigate/and/or prosecute his former partnes/ clients.
[br]
[CENTER]Because Romney utilized a Corrupt Federal Prosecutor - there are NO Statute of limitations![/CENTER][BR]

...... From 2001, (especially since 2004 - when they kidnapped my daughter - after my own attorney emailed me a threat to "back off" OR ELSE!. Since then, it has been my goal to keep Pitten's out of the White House (and off of the white horse he said a prophecy dream guaranteed him). Doing so - SOLELY - by doing the only thing a broke man can, blogging, webbing and ranting/commenting anywhere/everywhere I could. Keeping Bain Capital in the news.

None of these articles tell 1/100th of the story. Together, they don't even cover 1/10th. There's SO MUCH MORE. Including state, federal and SEC frauds - MASSIVE. Plus corruption and even mayhem, murder (including a brother of an Assitant U.S. Attorney who was a partner in the frauds).

[br]

PLEASE give Laser the Liquidator - a break?
[br]
There seems to be some implied requisites upon abused parties who cry foul or blow the whistle.[/center]
[/center] [hr]
[br]
------ It boggles my mind how people find fault with me (often) for not being able to tell my story - the way they would like to hear it. As you might have heard, an attorney who represents himself - has a fool for a client. That makes me much worse off - as the education meter damn near doesn't go as low as it needs to in my case (thank G-d for spell check and MS Office). Unfortunately, there's NO instruction manual for defeating Wall Street Robber Baron's like Mitt Romney, Goldman Sachs and Bain Capital. Hell man, as you well see in this and the threads to come - even the entire U.S. Government is tucking tailing and avoiding tangling with those goons - At All Costs!
[br][br]
....... Even the Deputy Director of the Department of Justice Executive Office of United States Trustee's (Lawrence Friedman) RESIGNED - when we pointed out the Michael Glazer / Kay Bee Toys $100 million. Not only did Friedman quit and run; but he also joined the Dark Side. He became a Director at Bear Sterns (need I really tell you how well that worked out)? Then he moved to Indiana and became head executive of Bader Company (insurance of storage units). Then formed an Off Shore Tax Shelter - used 2 set of books, created a bogus ESOP program - and the DOJ/IRS/SEC have not touched him 1 iota.

WHY - because he's a buddy of Mitt Romney now
(the POTUS wannabe who has failed and STILL wants to BE)!

[br][br]
------ Some insist that my grammar be more correct (EEEAAANNNTTT - sorry - this victim didn't graduate HS and {actually} - intentionally failed English. My teacher hated my mother, thus hated me and I, in turn, messed with her mind as often as I could. Th-at trait of standing firm against overwhelming foes, is serving me well - now. Romney and his ilk are a horde of Goliath's - and I'm not even a David - I'm an amoeba upon his sandal.
[br][br]
[center]Turns out an amoeba - with the inflexible sword of truth - is kicking some Romney ass[/center]
[br][br]
````` There's also some inference that (because I'm a blogger, Diarist or web/comment poster) - whereas I'm required to be an Attorney at Law, and/or a journalist, and/or a Professor in Literary design/syntax and and/or a professional at "dangling participles" (what the hell is that anyway). Compounding that issue further, my salary was $3.7 million in 2001. Who the hell wants to help me get that back - NO ONE. Especially Romney and his RICO gang - with their "corrupt" federal agents (more on that below and threads to come).
[br][br]
------ Yes, I'm the Laser that everyone thought Jamie Gold owed 1/2 the money to - from the World Series of Poker (WSOP). But they were wrong about that also. Though it is a fact that Jamie Gold was telling the truth - about producing a TV show for Poker Tournaments (which WAS my project). He had to settle with a different Laser (actually, I believe, the other guy's name is "Laiser&quot .
[br][br]
...... It is true that my quest, among seeking justice, also includes getting my money back (my 6 grand children's inheritance). Aren't victims of organized crimes, fraud efforts, corruption and Ponzi schemes allowed to get back what is stolen? [br][br]
You want me to get back what they stole, with interest & penalities (I can assure you that DU donate box does).
[br][br]

Laser Haas, or Squirt, Kumquat, Hoss Cartwright - or whatever you want to call me - is simply a victim. At the barest of minimums, those crooks offered me a bribe and - not only did I turn it down, I reported them! - You need not concern yourselves with what I'm going to get out of this. Chances are, when they yank eToys away from the wicked wibitch of the "Deal"aware courts east, the next judge will do his/her best to teach all other whistleblowers out there a lesson. Forcing me to squirm, hoping I pop a blood vessel. So that no one - ever DARE again - to say NO![br][br][center] I'm going after them for hundreds of millions; because it's my grandchildren's right that I do.[/center][br][br] I would hope you'd rather have what they stole - back in my pockets - instead of Romney's Off Shore accounts. Most of it is going to go to more lawyers - anyway.
[br][br]
[center] So - PLEASE give me {Laser} a break - and help me nail these Vampire squids?[/center]
[br][br] Because it's the right thing to do!

[hr][br]

Romney lied about being Bain Capital's CEO in 2001 - and Laser (the Liquidator) Haas - is one reason's why!

------ Now, please bare in mind, I'm not claiming to be the "only" reason. That would make it too easy for them to quash the problem. There's the MNAT merger of Romney's 'The Learning Company' - with Mattel in 1999. Then there's the Stage Stores/ Liquidity Solutions dealings in 2000/2001. Compounding them there thing'ees is the fall of 2000 Bain Capital acquisition of Kay Bee Toys (never forgetting that Michael Glazer is CEO of Kay Bee & Director of Stage Stores). All of which funneled itself into eToys, as one of the largest schemes to destroy a 2 year old public company and devour a federal bankruptcy estate that you will ever see or hear of. All of which is then made morose by the fact that Michael Glazer (now blessed with a "handpicked" United States Attorney of Delaware - in Romney's pocket) - then paying himself $18 million and Bain Capital $83 million.
[br]
------ Obviously, the question that begs is "Laser was only offered $1 million (actually it was originally $850,000 and an offer to bump it up to $1 million) - and they (the skullduggery gang) upped the ante to $18 million for Michael Glazer. Therefore, many say Mr. Liquidator "probably" wouldn't turn down $18 million. While I will disagree with you, the fact of the matter is, only the actual test is definitive. Truth is, I believe I would have said no - no matter how much (the higher the money, the more one quakes in their boots). Be that as it may, as you will come to see and witness, the money was not the driving factor. The abduction of my daughter, the attempt to kill eToys shareholder Robert Alber (who had to shoot/kill his assailant Michael Sesseyoff in Kingman Arizona), the death of Anna Schaefer (whom I paid to move back to Minnesota). The demise of Marty Lackner (brother of MN Assistant U.S. Attorney J. Lackner) - is an issue that will ALWAYS haunt me. Super compounded with the bizzaro murder of John ("Jack&quot Wheeler and my fiduciary duty to my job (protecting the eToys entity/ estate) - is what has driven me.
[br]
........ Here's what is really funny, had the "geniuses" on the opposite side of the fence, not have been so fiendishly ebol and simply offered to compel me to take only $1 million of the $3.7 million that was due my company, Collateral Logistics, Inc., ("CLI&quot . Then they might have gotten away with it all - entirely. But some super genius over on their side of the fence, decided to squash Laser Haas like a bug in a rug - simply because they could.
[br]
At our last meal together, in 2002, I warned Barry Gold

"Don't mess with me, you and Traub may think it ends here, if you don't do right,

--------------------------------------- I'm warning you Barry Gold - that "It begins here"!

[br]
....... It is certainly true, someone else should be telling this story. Attorney's have fools for a client, when they represent themselves; because they are too emotionally involved. And yours truly certainly ain't no attorney (but my tenacity and the truth has shut down law firms).
[br]
It is simply a reality that you are being granted a ring side seat to something rare and special here. You have a FREE "ring side seat" to a saga = where a truly insignificant guy (an amoeba) - has been placed by our universe, into the surreal Twilight Zone extraordinary. It is a unique opportunity to watch the battle against evil, with a REAL chance that the good guys may win.
[br]
Or - you could be reading a dead man's words (and that ain't no slouch of a story either)!
[br]
-------There's no doubt that I'm doing this different than what the "Manner's Book" says I should be doing. Ain't my dang fault, everyone is delighting in not letting me see that DAMN "manner's" instruction mannual. So I have to do it the only way I can. Post, rant, Post, comment, Post, complain and send faxes, emails and phone calls to Washington D.C., Senators, Congressmen, FBI Agents (who actually threatened me thrice. While also sending it to main stream media, Over and Over and Over - AGAIN.
[br]
------- I'm simply a guy who doesn't give a damn who likes him or hates him. They took my career, my home, my life savings, my daughter for a few days and my children's/grandchildren's inheritance away. These turds arranged the abduction of my daughter, on my birthday and CALLED me to rub it in. Most likely due to the fact that they "believed" Romney was going to become POTUS and handpick that "friendly" United States Attorney General that Sheldon Adelson was giving Romney's Campaign a $100 million dollars to assure.

[center]But - Again - In case you didn't hear;[/center]

Romeny DIDN"T Make it and Sheldon Adelson has already confessed fed violations of FCPA (see story - HERE ).
[br]

[br]
------- Now, those of you who say "Laser ain't so dang special" - you'd be CORRECT. My personal book (should I live long enough to write the final chapter) - is titled "From the Wrong Side of the Tracks; to the Right Side of Me". Everything about who I am, Liquidator, a son of parents who always wanted him out of the way (until they mellowed out later in life), an opportunist and chasers of opportunities. All of that - along with my youth of being abused - says Laser Haas should have taken the money. Does anyone turn down million dollar paydays;

[center] I DID [/center]
[br]
Surely any therapist would tell you my life history indicates that I should have taken their $ Million dollar Bribe attempt (and offer to be a partner with Mitten's - YUCK - could you imagine the flip flopping slime all over you - SHHEESSSHHH). HOWEVER, for some reason that all of U.S. will never know, yours truly turned down the deal of a lifetime. Even my partner of 12 years, a man whom I would have glady taken a bullet for, because I loved him so much. That guy, my family (except for dear brother KC and my son), all say I'm the black sheep and that I'm a fool for saying no. They (Romney's Gang) have gotten away with it and will ALWAYS get away with it. All those so called "friends"/family - REALLY PISSES ME OFF.
[br]
Believe it or not, the million dollars was not the issue. What was REAL important to me, is that my entire career (25 years of such in 2001) was a quest to become one of the 10 biggest Liquidation/ Turn Around Manage guys in the country.

[center]They offered me my life's dream = and for some silly reason = I told them No![/center]

It is just a simple fact that I dream of the day when no one upon G-d's earth, will walk by another human being and not care about them. I'm foolish that way. Your reading the rant of a person who believes in the goodness in all of U.S. (but gets pissed - Often - at the way people are from time to time -especially the war mongering American Empire)'
[br]
Regrettably, this case is a story that even "---------------" herself, was not willing to take on (yes, I reached out to her more than once - it could be that I'm simply a guy and she likes women's cause - Who Knows). It is real simple. Yours truly has taken for myself an oddball name (I believe in the N'arn way). This is because, no one can define who you are; but you. Also Meteor Blades at DailyKos, assuaged me from the dark side (and I'm forever greatful to him) - as I (used to be) - one of the RWNJ that listened to Bible thumpers and Chief Justices on bended knee - thankful for the crumbs that they would toss down to my chain wrapped body (maybe that is why I've paid such a heavy price - my former homophobia's - from being abused when young). Thank goodness for my Meteor Blades salvation (but the trolls at DailyKos - SUCK the Whammy Big TIME).
[br]

Be all this as it may (and you are free/invited to ask any questions you wish). I choose not to go by the "implied" playbook of staying quietly in my corner, so that you can be presented the poster child victim/ martyr. I'm simply the guy who said NO to bad men - and no matter WhatEver happens in the future - that's a badge of honor that NO ONE can take away from me.
[br]
For some inexplicable reason, this Laser Haas guy is battling that Romney POTUS wannabe guy - and the amoeba is winning!
[br]Turning down the bribe (especially when you see/read how I did so) - makes me feel that I've achieved something special. The moment I did such, I KNEW what I had done (and also was aware that my career might be over - as the bribe was offered to me - with the permission of the trial attorney {Mark Kenney} of the United States Trustee's office.
[br]
All such is a scary nightmare when you are the son of a mom whomarried a 17 yr old when you were 12. Where boy friends and neighbors used you and your sister as sex slaves. My mom also married a 19 yr old when I was turning 18 - who got shot by a friend 6 times and the MoFo didn't die. Nor does it matter that I did not see my dad from the age of 10, till I went and found him at age 18. They were schemers, who raised (or didn't raise, depending on the way you wish to look at it), a son they didn't care about or want. The runt of the litter.
[br]Instead of being bitter at it all - I try to be the nice guy - even to my enemies (to a fault in many ways); because there are already so many arse-holes in our world(s).
[br]
However - Yours truly is also one - Inflexible - in his oath of fiduciary duty.
----------------------------------These Pitten "geniuses" picked the wrong guy - they should have shot me 1st!

His gang consists of (but is not limited to) partners Goldman Sachs, who utilized a mutually beneficial law firms of Morris Nichols Arsht & Tunnel ("MNAT&quot and many firms owned/associated with Paul Traub (who was also a partner of fraudster Marc Dreier and Ponzi schemer Tom Petters (more on them in future thread postings).
[br][br] ------ Barry Gold is secretly (now confessedin eToys case) - Paul Traub's partner. Michael Glazer was a director for Romney at Stage Stores. Michael Glazer also was CEO of Kay Bee Toys. Jack Bush (of Dallas) was also a "Director" for Romney at Stage Stores. Bush goes from one Bain Capital bankruptcy to another and Barry Gold testified (in eToys) that Jack Bush gets him employment gigs often. Thus - Barry Gold was Jack Bush/Michael glazer's "director's assistant" at Stage Stores (who then hired his buddy Paul Traub).
[br][br]
------ Paul Traub has worked for/with Mitt Romney/Bain Capital issues for decades now, since the NeoStar case. Also with Barry Gold and Jack Bush at Jumbo Sports, as well as Stage Stores. [br][br]
[center] Thus Romney = Bain = Glazer = Kay Bee = Stage Stores = Barry Gold = Paul Traub [/center][br][br] As you can see by the incestuous (less than 2 degrees of separation) chart above, they are an association in fact (RICO GANG of persons).[br][br] ----- This RICO association in fact actually has a name denoted by congress - Bankruptcy Ring - of perpetrators. They fleece, steal billions from The Learning Company, Mattel, Stage Stores, Kay Bee, FAO Schwartz and eToys (just to name a few). Then they utilize their ill gotten gains to buy things like Clear Channel Communications. In the hopes to expand the power/ reach of their organized criminal empire, so that their boss Romney could become POTUS. [br][br] As an Racketeer would, they put the excess monies (and profits of their crimes) - OFF SHORE. Or they reinvest them in other schemes & artifices to defraud.





[hr][br]
[center] [/center]
[br]
[hr]
[br][br]
Now, as you would surmise, this is (of course) is most definitely ILLEGAL conduct of the highest order. As a matter of fact, the United States Trustee testified, in a Motion to Disgorge Traub's firm for $1.6 million - that the parties were "forewarned" in advance, not to replace key eToys executives with anyone connected to them (see Disgorge Motion parts 19 & 35 - HERE ).

[br]However - it has NOT been properly investigated and/ or prosecuted
----------------------------------- because of a CORRUPT federal prosecutor named Colm Connolly (picture above).
[br]
There's no question of culpability - only of accountability
[br]
----------- It is a matter of public docket record fact that MNAT, Barry Gold and Paul Traub have (already) CONFESSED that they lied under oath 34 times about MNAT (secretly) being the attorney for Goldman Sachs and Barry Gold/ Paul Traub (secretly) being partners. They offered me Bribery in 2001 and I reported it to the Dept of Justice. This caused them to panic, Mitt Romney did then (purportedly) resign (the infamous "retroactive" period of August 2001, back to February 11, 1999) and then, at the same time, Colm Connolly (who was a partner of MNAT from 1999 to August 2001 ) became the United States Attorney in Delaware. Burying the cases and protecting his partner/clients from investigation/prosecution, for 7 years.
[br][br] Please see Colm Connolly's archived DOJ, Office of Legal Policy RESUME http://www.justice.gov/archive/olp/colmconnollyresume.htm ). It is telltale of Romney's "retoractivity".

Therefore - I ask you the reader these questions;

Is it wrong for Laser, a victim of Mitt Romney's organized crimes - to try to nail these crooks?
[br]

[center]Isn't it about time Goldman Sachs & Bain Capital were indicted?[/center]

[br][hr]There's more than 300 felony violations here, so I'm just going to handle the top 20 - ONE chronicle part at a time.
Feel Free to ask any questions in the comments! Forgive me if I don't answer right away (only get 300 emails a day at times) and I'm working on helping other victims (like Governor Siegelman). Also, please forgive me - if you think I should be handling this case different. Until you've "been there" and "done that" - it is a cheap shot to find fault with a victim, who is fighting a moder day ebol Robber Baron.

Washington, D.C. Insider Says Senator John Sampson Covered-Up Court Corruption

BREAKING NEWS: Washington, D.C. insider says NYS Senator John Sampson covered-up evidence of widespread corruption in New York Surrogate's Courts.

Rep Cohen D-TN confronts AG Holder on Don Siegelman's case

Source: C-SPAN

During questions on the troubling matters of the Administration's Department of Justice Program; Representive Cohen from Tenn. queried Eric Holder about the Governor Siegelman case.

This is excerpt/transcribe of the video discussion.

00:02:15 I WOULD LIKE TO QUELL YOU ABOUT A FEW ISSUES THAT BOTHER ME.
[br]
00:02:18 THE FORMER ALABAMA GOVERNOR DON SIEGELMAN WHO WAS THE GOVERNOR OF ALABAMA AND PROBABLY THE LAST DEMOCRAT STATEWIDE OFFICIAL THERE IN THE PAST AND MAYBE IN THE FUTURE FOR A LONG TIME.
[br]
00:02:30 HE TRIED TO GET A LOTTERY IN HIS STATE WIT I DID IN TENNESSEE AND KNOW HOW DIFFICULT IT IS.
[br]
00:02:35 IN SO DOING, HE FOUND HIMSELF IN COURT AND CONVICTED IN A JAIL AND A CASE IN WHICH AN UNPRECEDENTED 113 FORMER ATTORNEYS GENERALS, REPUBLICAN AND DEMOCRAT REPRESENTING 44 OF THE 55 STATES HAVE SAID HIS PROSECUTION WAS A GRAVE INJUSTICE.
[br]
00:02:54 JUST A NUMEROUS AMOUNT OF LEGAL EXPERTS HAVE SAID IT WAS A GRAVE INJUSTICE AND THAT THE PROSECUTION SHOULD NEVER HAVE TAKEN PLACE BECAUSE THE U.
[br]
00:03:02 S. ATTORNEY, A BUSH APPOINTEE, WAS THE WIFE OF THE CAMPAIGN MANAGER OF HIS OPPONENT IN A JUBORIAL ELECTION AND THAT WHILE WE RECUE RECUED HERSELF, SHE STAYED INVOLVED.
[br]
00:03:15 I KNOW THERE ARE PROCEDURAL ISSUES ABOUT A MUCH CUE MISSIONTATION.
[br]
00:03:21 EACH DAY HE'S IN PRISON IN MY OPINION IS A GRAVE INJUSTICE.

For those of you who haven't been following the Governor Siegelman case; he was RailRoaded by Karl Rove and Alabama U.S. Attorney Canary. I'm still too new to DU - and have no idea how to "embed" the video. Please go to this link ( http://www.c-spanvideo.org/clip/4451382 ) at the C-SPAN website (which also transcribes the conversation).

The Petition, by his daughter, requesting President Obama give a Pardon to Governor Siegelman is linked ( HERE ).

Governor Siegelman's daughter is the lead advocate for her dad's release with a FaceBook page ( HERE ).

Civil Rights leader Rev. Shuttlesworth = who was companion to Martin Luther King Jr /Rosa Parks - supports the quest to free Governor Siegelman. The Reverend held Governor Siegelman's wife hand in court (see more details - HERE ).
[hr]

GWB and Karl Rove WIN - as long as Governor Siegelman is incarcerated unrighteously.


This injustice and abuse of power - is INTOLERABLE!

This is one injustice we should not stand idle by and allow to transpire. It only serves GWB and Rove. For that reason alone, we should rally the troops together and demand freedom for Governor Siegelman.

Just think of the good this man will do for U.S. - upon his proper - long overdue - Release?

If you haven't already done so - Please sign the Petition ( HERE ) and help others do the same;
Governor Siegelman's release is a knife in GWB and Rove's ebol heart!

This is a letter from our FB Friend on the Governor Siegelman Page

Thanking Representative Cohen.

Wrote a letter to Congressman Cohen, thanking him for his questioning Eric Holder on Governor Siegelman's case. I'd like to see the Backbone Campaign give him a Backbone Award! He certainly deserves one!
____________________________________________________

Congressman Steve Cohen
Tennessee, 9th District

Washington, DC 20515

Dear Congressman Cohen,

By asking Attorney General Eric Holder about the Governor Don Siegelman case, and kindly requesting that he take action on this long overdue issue, you have become a hero to many Americans.

It is an atrocity that this case was ever tried in the first place, but that it could have gone as far as it has, with so much glaring truth to the criminality being committed by the prosecutors, the judge and the nefarious Karl Rove and Bill Canary, should be a stark revelation to anyone as to how far off course our justice system has strayed.

Those people are only part of the list who should be investigated when our leaders take a serious look at this case. When this happens America will see how our justice system has been used to destroy innocent lives and pad the power and pockets of countless people with malevolent intent.

Congressman Cohen, I hope this will be your first step in embarking on a path to justice for Gov. Siegelman. Nothing can be done to give back this last decade they have taken from him, but something must be done to give him back the rest of his life.

I hope you will ask your colleagues to join you in extending your request to President Obama. It is time for him to do what he must to end this miscarriage of justice.

Thank you so much for asking Attorney General Holder, but please don’t let that fall by the wayside, as it has been an impossible climb to get the attention of the Attorney General and the President in this matter. I believe Mr. Holder’s answer to you completely dodged all responsibility. He has been dodging it as long as he has been in office and it is time for that to end.

As President Obama has the power to grant a pardon for Gov. Siegelman, it is time for the Justice Department to step back and let the President do the right thing.

Tell us what we can do to help you to put your request front and center so that the unjustly imprisoned Governor will be free and justice can begin to be restored.

I will write my representative, Congresswoman Terri Sewell to ask that she stand with you in this request.

Sincerely,

Sharron Williams
Birmingham, AL

Joe Biden: The Rolling Stone Interview

Reposting from LBN ( here )- as instructed. Though I take issue with the banter of premise for mandating this redirect. There's not enough fairness in the flexing of power (nor proper understanding of the damage done to good faith programming) HINT HINT

Source: Rolling Stone Magazine

There is a keen Kennedy-like vigor to Joe Biden that overwhelms any room. As was once said of Theodore Roosevelt, he, too, wants to be the bride at every wedding and the corpse at every funeral. Unlike President Obama, who speaks in interviews with Hemingway-esque sparseness, Biden rambles like Thomas Wolfe, painting a robust picture of an ever-changing America where coal miners will soon be working in clean-tech jobs, gun-safety laws will be tougher and China will be reined in by the White House from poisoning the planet with megatons of choking pollutants.

Never before have a president and vice president been as close personally and professionally as Barack Obama and Joe Biden – just think about the past 80 years. FDR switched out VPs with the regularity of a farmer rotating his crops. Harry Truman had little use for the lightweight Alben Barkley. Dwight Eisenhower never really trusted Richard Nixon. Historian Robert Caro just published an award-winning 736-page biography – The Passage of Power – that essentially chronicles JFK's deep aversion for LBJ. Nixon's selection of the pugilist Spiro Agnew in 1968 as his vice president blew up in his face a few years later: A volcanic eruption of ethics charges were levied against Agnew, and he was forced to resign. Gerald Ford and his vice president, Nelson Rockefeller, never quite jelled. Ford, in fact, asked Bob Dole to run as the VP candidate in 1976 – an awful slap to Rockefeller. Although it's true that Jimmy Carter was extraordinarily close to Walter Mondale, their relationship lacked the two-term gravitas of Obama and Biden's ironclad bond. Ronald Reagan wasn't particularly intimate with George H.W. Bush; their wives often feuded. And when Bush became president, he didn't take Dan Quayle very seriously. (Nor did the country.)


As Biden tells it, these days he and the president see eye to eye on all policy issues. Only their nuances are slightly different. It's not far-fetched to think that Biden will run for president in 2016 on Obama's coattails. This notion surprises many Republicans, who feel Obama is foundering and that Biden, who will be 74 at the beginning of the next presidential term, is too old. But Biden is smart to stay close to Obama, whose public-approval rating hovers just below 50 percent (a number that rises to around 75 percent among registered Democrats). Assuming Hillary Clinton runs for president in 2016, she will sell herself as a successor to her husband, harkening back to the economic heyday of the 1990s. By contrast, if Biden gets into the race, it will be as an Obama Democrat promising to expand on the record of the last two terms.

Today - the 2016 POTUS race (appears to be)

Republican side = Jeb Bush v Chris Christie (on a diet for the next 2 years)
and
Democratic side = Hillary Clinton v Joe Biden.

Therefore, it could be either

Bush v Clinton
(Al Gore screaming to high heaven in the background).
Or
Christie v Clinton
(With her poking him in the belly and say "don't worry Pillsbury - I'll roll over you gently)

Unless we have

Bush v Biden
(a slam dunk for Joe and as senior bush rolls out in his wheel chair hollaring "Depository Depository&quot

THEN

Christie v Biden could be an east coast civil war
and VP Biden could guarantee his win
with a Hillary VP pick
OR (hold on to your seats folks)
A - VP - of AL Gore!

[hr]

Even though I have bones to pick with Joe, he did do the country a solid that will never make it into the history books (and probably saved my life in the process). You will find this hard to swallow - but I reached out to Senator Biden and articulated that we were on a pathway to becoming advesaries - when he did actually blow my mind.

I'm Romney's personal enemy - and therefore enemy of his (retroactive secret) Colm F Connolly. Who just so happens to be a corrupt former U.S. Attorney in Delaware

See Colm's Resume at the Department of Justice Office of Legal Policy ( HERE ). If you will take NOTE - you will see that Colm F Connolly was a partner of the www.MNAT.com law firm at the very same EXACT time that Romney claims to be "retroactively" retired from. This is because Mitt's other (secret) attorneys (Paul Traub and MNAT) have already confessed lying under oath 34 times to a Chief Federal Justice. Then Romney resigned as Bain Capital's CEO in August 2001. While Colm F Connolly did then become the Delaware United States Attorney on August 2, 2001.

Just like Chris Christie was rewarded with New Jersey Governor seat after giving his former boss (John Ashcroft) a $50 million dollar NO BID contract (Chrisitie has to go testify about the issue HERE). In a similar corrupt fashion, Romney's RICO Gang tried to reward Colm F Connolly with a Federal Judge Bench in the Delaware District Court.

But that failed - do to the American hero - Senator Joe Biden.

While he was running for President, Joe Biden went out on a limb and refused to sign the requisite Senator's Slip to process Colm Connolly's nomination for Federal Justice. Senator Biden paid a heavy price as the hometown paper (The Wilmington News Journal) - did go after Joe Biden - relentlessly.

I'm for Joe Biden with VP Hillary in 2016 and to help them, I'm NOT stopping my battle to get Romney the Racketeer tossed in jail OR at the barest of minimums, A RICO seizure of Clear Channel Communications before the elections of 2014!

John Sampson, State Senator, Indicted; Brooklyn Relieved He Wasn't Elected DA

Source: Village Voice

Well, we guess the voters were right to re-elect Charles Hynes back in 2005, when he was pushed fairly hard in the democratic primary by challenger, state Sen. John Sampson. (Hynes won by about four percentage points.)


Sampson, a 15-year veteran of the Legislature and chair of the senate ethics committee, was arrested today on two counts of embezzlement for, in part, using money embezzled from accounts of sales of foreclosed houses--over which he was supposed to be the protector--to finance that campaign against Hynes. He was also charged with tampering with evidence and witnesses.

Say what one wants about Hynes--and we have--but then imagine if Sampson had actually defeated the long-serving DA. Brooklynites would have an accused embezzler and evidence and witness tamperer in the most powerful law enforcement position in the borough. Yikes!

"At the conclusion of the [FBI] interview, the agents advised Sampson that he had lied to federal agents, which constituted a federal crime," prosecutors said. "When asked whether he wished to revise his statement, Sampson stated, 'Not everything I told you was false.'"

Sounds like a cry for help.
