Did I miss it, or was it just now there (Warren, Ohio)

[AmyCrat]

Was there ever any follow-up to the locked-out press story in Warren County? You know, the one where they said they got notified by the FBI that they were a "10" (on a scale of 1-10) that they were in danger of being hit by terrorists on election day, but then the FBI said they never said that?

Anyone ever look into it further? Any follow-up stories done on it?

1. Amycrat, check out this thread:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=203x114232

It links to a Daily Kos posting that links Warren County with the Jeff Fisher investigation by virtue of former FBI agents posing as current FBI agents. It's the first thing I've seen about the Jeff Fisher/Cybernet/voting machine fraud that makes any sense.

That's the only followup I have heard so far.

On edit:

Here's another thread to look at: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=203x114120

I don't get the statistical stuff, but one of the responders also included an excerpt from Conyers' letter to Blackwell from the House Judiciary Committee re: Warren County.

2. Conyers has asked Blackwell to

explain to his committe what was done about Warren. The meeting is on the 8th I'm pretty sure.

3. Hope he asks....under oath.

And I hope he asks him about a meeting with GW Bush on 11/2/04 in Ohio.

4. Oath, Schmoath!

I doubt an oath would compell these guys to tell the truth.

[AmyCrat]

5. seriously! or they'll just get a day pass

and "speak openly but not under oath" like B&C did during the 9/11 hearings.

7. the hearing next wed. requested a response--not an appearance from

Blackwell. Here is the story/letter

The two are quite distant, physically and culturally.
