THE FOURTH

THE FOURTH. by maggiesboy aka Johnson from BlueRootsRadio.

Don't just sit there. Go to My.BO and tell him what you think about Telecom Immunity in the FISA capitulation bill. Or if you don't know about this attack on your Constitutional Rights granted by the Bill of Rights then read Glen Greenwald.

SELECTIVE PROSECUTION PART II

UPDATE:

Audio Here
Video link to come

Congressional hearings on the 2002 Election Day phone jamming in New Hampshire have been scheduled for Wednesday.

The Capitol Hill hearings are expected to focus on how Justice Department lawyers handled the case of Republican Party operatives jamming Democrat Party get-out-the-vote phone lines on Election Day in 2002. The hearing is titled "Allegations of Selective Prosecution Part II: The Erosion of Public Confidence in Our Federal Justice System" and will be held by two subcommittees of the House Judiciary Committee.

Two men have pleaded guilty in the phone-jamming case, including former New Hampshire Republican Party executive director Charles McGee. Former Republican National Committee regional director James Tobin was convicted by a jury and acquitted on appeal. His case now sits in the First Circuit Court of Appeals.

New Hampshire Rep. Paul Hodes has been asked to testify about the case, and he plans to lay out what spokesman Mark Bergman called "unanswered questions," among them whether the White House was involved. Records produced during Tobin's trial showed he made nearly two dozen calls to the White House within a 15-hour period starting on Election Day, hours after the phone-jamming operation. - Concord Monitor

Jon Stewart has to explain (of course).

TPM has even more on this 6 year inquiry.



Do you wonder what US Attorney covered this? US Attorney for the State of NH, 2001 Bush appointee Thomas Colantuono did. Was he fired like the others? NO? Smells Fishy!

UPDATE II: "I cannot link the New Hampshire phone jamming scheme in any way to President George Bush's White House," Allen Raymond said at a joint hearing of two House Judiciary subcommittees. But Raymond said his training at the Republican National Committee and the National Republican Senatorial Committee told him that "unusual programs never saw the light of day without a thorough vetting by committee attorneys." - RAW
