We all know there's a madman in the White House. But the story of the madness began with one person who got in the way of what they wanted to do. Even before the 16 famous words in the state of the union, there was a person who was already revealing their first major coverup. Her name was Jesselyn Radack. And while people have labelled her a traitor or a whistle-blower, our media has failed to reveal the coverup! This is an impeachable offense on it's own merits!
Aschroft, Bush, Cheney, and Rummy said and then DID a lot more behind the scenes than what you might realize. Jesselyn Radack REVEALED the coverup and she's written about it in The Canary in the Coalmine.
BuzzFlash interviewed her and you can listen to it
here.
And everyone...little snippets here and there will never get you the whole story. Someday, Jesselyn Radack MAY get called before the judiciary committee to reveal UNDER OATH what happened in the coverup. Her story IS IMPORTANT. I truely admire her for doing the courageous thing and telling the truth when her life would have been so much easier if she'd have only let the coverup stand without comment.
Want to know more than the snippets? And want to know WHY you should nag the hell out of Congress to have impeachment hearings? Then hop over to her site and
buy the book. In the meantime, here's a short snippet for you...
BuzzFlash: What’s interesting to see here is that the Department saw you as a liability. You were the woman who knew too much, in a way. And you’ve said you didn’t really create a big stir, even though the Attorney General was lying. I mean, there’s no other way you can look at it, the way he presented the issue of attorney representation and so forth.
Jesselyn Radack: For me, that became crystal clear during the confirmation hearings of Michael Chertoff, first to be a federal judge, and then more recently head of the Department of Homeland Security. He was questioned during both confirmation hearings specifically about the Lindh case, and specifically about the retaliation towards me that followed. And he blatantly lied. But basically his answers were non-responsive and hyper-technical, and basically very elliptical. At first, he flat-out denied that my office had ever rendered advice in this case, period. Then, when confronted by Senator Kennedy about the actual advice that was given, he still said he didn’t know about it. Later, when confronted with the fact that he did, he kind of backtracked a little bit and said he recalls learning about it, but didn’t really consider it to be an official opinion and that kind of thing. As this progressed, it became clear that this went to much higher levels than just a decision by the director of the ethics office. Later on, The New York Times was able to get the attorney with whom I corresponded to go on the record that his boss -- at the time, that was Michael Chertoff -- was very displeased with the fact that he had sought the advice of the ethics office. He had definitely stepped out of line in doing that.
Michael Chertoff at that time was the Assistant Attorney General in charge of the criminal division. He was the uppermost figurehead in the criminal division.
