Has John Ashcroft been subpoenad?
Edited on Sat Mar-27-04 03:02 PM by leftbehind
I was just thinking about this:

- John Ashcroft was directed not to use commercial aircraft prior to 9-11.

- John Ashcroft was the man who set the priorities of the FBI prior to 9-11 and felt that terrorism was so important that it merited a brief mention under gun violence in his mission priority statements from 2001.

- John Ashcroft, from what I recall, also cut funding for terrorism prior to 9-11.

I have seen evidence of all of these things over time here, but it occured to me I hadn't seen any evidence that he was going to testify under oath at the 9-11 Commission.

Has anyone else heard what his status is in relation to the 9-11 Commission? Will he be testifying (hopefully under oath)?


This is my first thread. Please be gentle. :)

5. I believe he's been released.
No link, but I seem to remember seeing that.

6. I was struck by the convenience of the "health problems" as well
although it didn't hit me until this morning. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out.

7. It seems to me current and former FBI directors would just HAVE...
... to testify at the next set of 9-11 Commission hearings, given its title, "Law Enforcement and the Intelligence Community. Washington, DC, April 13-14, 2004"

But the Commission won't release its witness list until about April 3rd, according to http://www.9-11commission.gov/hearings/index.htm :

"The following represents the remainder of the Commissions 2004 investigative hearing schedule:

March 23-24, 2004 Counterterrorism Policy Washington, DC

April 13-14, 2004 Law Enforcement and the Intelligence Community Washington, DC

May 18-19, 2004 Emergency Response New York City The 9-11 Plot New York City

June 8-9, 2004 National Crisis Management Washington, DC

Additional information, including times, locations, and panels, will be disseminated approximately ten days prior to each hearing. Such information will also be available on the Commissions website--www.9-11commission.gov. Hearing dates and topics are subject to change at any time.

AL FELZENBERG, DEPUTY FOR COMMUNICATIONS National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States

Office: 202-401-1725 Cell: 202-236-4878 Fax: 202-296-5545"

8. Also, if Sibel Edmonds (the translator who Ashcroft tried to buy off)
testifies then Ashcroft would neccessarily have to be called to testify. Edmonds is to Ashcroft what Clarke is to Condi.

PS. You mispelled "supoenad", hee, hee. I likes hasslin' newbies. :)

10. Good one.
:thumbsup:

We need to get these people who were warned, or know intel was manipulated, or twisted, etc. and put them on the stand. Multiple corroborations for the lies of these fascisti are out there. Let's hope the Commission will bring these people out and then set the stage for a Special prosecutor to begin an investigation.

Find out why Ashcroft stopped flying on commercial aircraft in July.
