Clinton Stumps for Street, Blasts FBI

[DUreader]

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Saying he knows ``quite a
bit about Republicans investigating Democrats,''
President Clinton led a raucous campaign rally for
embattled Mayor John Street on Friday, four days
ahead of the election.

Clinton slyly compared his impeachment to the FBI
investigation of the Street administration, saying
Republicans in Washington ``ought to be
investigating (Street's) public record because it's
a lot better than theirs.''

The investigation, which became public Oct. 7
when police discovered a hidden listening device in
Street's City Hall office, has made the famously
taciturn Street ``downright charismatic,'' Clinton
joked.

A poll released this week showed that the FBI
bugging of the mayor has given a boost to his
re-election effort. Democrats have blamed the
federal probe on Republicans trying to harm the
mayor politically - a charge that has resonated
strongly among black voters. Street is black; his
GOP opponent, businessman Sam Katz, is white.

1. Tell me if I'm wrong

but wasn't just about every black mayor "investigated" during the first Bush administration? I sense a "pattern of behavior" here. Call it harassment?

2. The FBI. The FBI. The FBI.

Now do you think that encouraging a kid who wants to work for the FBI is an honorable effort? The FBI works for the right wing. We the taxpayers who pay their salary are paying for right wing tricks. For how many years? How many years was J Edgar Hoover in office? Now we have J Edgar Ashcroft. This is an outrage. Tell me if in our history we have ever had the FBI working for Democrat or Independent political agendas. Please educate me. Isn't the FBI and CIA and all the other agencies supposed to be working for the people?

The FBI worked for the right wing under Hoover. The FBI worked for Nixon, Reagan, Bush and Bush.

Hey world...America is full of phonies. Their is no honor in our principles.

You may also ccam us because we are easily scammable even by the people we pay.

3. Nice to see Bill sticking his neck out

for a fellow dem.

I keep hoping the Bill and Al are both hanging back waiting for the right time in the election cycle to help take back our country from the fundie neocons. Let's hope this is just the beginning.

4. Bill Clinton unlike Bill Lockyer and Zell Miller....

actually has faith in the party!

5. Is the FBI a tool of Bush like the Gestapo was for Hitler

:bounce:

6. He's still got a big kick! Notice; news from England and NOT the US!

"the FBI investigation of the Street administration, saying
Republicans in Washington ``ought to be
investigating (Street's) public record because it's
a lot better than theirs.'"

I don't like to put to much emailing out there but the above would be a good article to send to our GOP American Media Whores!

Lost In Translation
Edmonds says that the supervisor, in an effort to slow her down, went so far as to erase completed translations from her FBI computer after she'd left work for the day.
“The next day I would come to work, turn on my computer and the work would be gone. The translation would be gone,” she says. “Then I had to start all over again and retranslate the same document. And I went to my supervisor and he said, ‘Consider it a lesson and don't talk about it to anybody else and don't mention it.’”

Did The FBI Destroy Evidence?
The FBI and prosecutors ordered the destruction in 1999 of evidence from a bank robbery they once suspected linked Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh to white supremacists who were threatening before McVeigh's bombing to attack the government, documents show.
The evidence included a surveillance videotape of a bank robbery by some of the supremacists that occurred in Ohio five months before the bombing. The FBI lab compared the tape to pictures of McVeigh, but concluded a match was "inconclusive," internal memos show.

FBI Agent, Turner, blew whistle on Ground Zero, 911, theft.
She says she immediately reported the problem to a federal prosecutor, then to her supervisor, and waited for him to act.
Two weeks later, after nothing apparently had been done, Turner seized the globe, bagged it as evidence and took it to Justice Department officials in Washington.
(She's being fired.)
