Clinton Stumps for Street, Blasts FBI
http://www.guardian.co.uk/uslatest/story/0,1282,-3333843,00.html



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.

"the FBI investigation of the Street administration, saying

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?
