RFK: Rove And Rove's Brain, 'Should be in jail,' Not In Office

NEW YORK -- Voting rights attorney Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has called for prison time for the new US Attorney for Arkansas, Timothy Griffin and investigation of Griffin's former boss, Karl Rove, chief political advisor to President Bush.

"Timothy Griffin," said Kennedy,"who is the new US attorney in Arkansas, was actually the mastermind behind the voter fraud efforts by the Bush Administration to disenfranchise over a million voters through 'caging' techniques - which are illegal."

(Hear Kennedy on Griffin, Rove and 'caging lists' at www.GregPalast.com)

Kennedy based his demand on the revelations by BBC reporter Greg Palast in the new edition of his book, "Armed Madhouse." On one page of the book, Palast reproduces a copy of a confidential Bush-Cheney campaign email, dated August 26, 2004, in which Griffin directs Republican operatives to use the 'caging' lists.

This is one of the emails subpoenaed by Congress but supposedly "lost" by Rove's office. Palast obtained 500 of these, fifty with 'caging' lists attached.

11. Occasion?
I didn't follow your link, because I want to go elsewhere, but, what was the occasion for the recording of Kennedy on Palast's page? It's funny because there has been so much evidence of election malfeasance since 2000--is it because of the US Attorney and DOJ politicization that nothing has been done yet?

RFK's piece on Ohio was a blockbuster, but the corporate media never picked it up--besides Keith Olbermann.

What's a country to do?

Call/write your Senators and Representative!

12. damn well better go to prison
if not then this country is nothing but garbage, filth, scum. An even playing field is required and using the justice to tilt the game is beyond criminal. Jail and loose the key on these f*ckers or we are lost as a country. Justice and liberty for all....sounds good.
