The Goods on Goodling and the Keys to the Kingdom
Special to BRADBLOG
by Greg Palast
This Monica revealed something hotter — much hotter — than a
stained blue dress. In her opening testimony yesterday before the
House Judiciary Committee, Monica Goodling, the blonde-ling
underling to Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and Department of
Justice Liaison to the White House, dropped The Big One….And the
Committee members didn’t even know it.
Goodling testified that Gonzales’ Chief of Staff, Kyle Sampson,
perjured himself, lying to the committee in earlier testimony. The
lie: Sampson denied Monica had told him about Tim Griffin’s
“involvement in ‘caging’ voters” in 2004.
Huh?? Tim Griffin? “Caging”???
The perplexed committee members hadn’t a clue — and asked no
substantive questions about it thereafter. Karl Rove is still
smiling. If the members had gotten the clue, and asked the right
questions, they would have found “the keys to the kingdom,” they
thought they were looking for. They dangled right in front of their
perplexed faces.
The keys: the missing emails — and missing link — that could send
Griffin and his boss, Rove, to the slammer for a long, long time.
Kingdom enough for ya?
But what’s ‘caging’ and why is it such a dreadful secret that
lawyer Sampson put his license to practice and his freedom on the
line to cover Tim Griffin’s involvement in it? Because it’s a
felony. And a big one.
Our BBC team broke the story at the top of the nightly news
everywhere on the planet - except the USA - only because America’s
news networks simply refused to cover this evidence of the
electoral coup d’etat that chose our President in 2004.
Here’s how caging worked, and along with Griffin’s thoughtful
emails themselves you’ll understand it all in no time.
The Bush-Cheney operatives sent hundreds of thousands of letters
marked “Do not forward” to voters’ homes. Letters returned
(”caged”) were used as evidence to block these voters’ right to
cast a ballot on grounds they were registered at phony addresses.
Who were the evil fakers? Homeless men, students on vacation and —
you got to love this — American soldiers. Oh yeah: most of them are
Black voters.
Why weren’t these African-American voters home when the Republican
letters arrived? The homeless men were on park benches, the
students were on vacation — and the soldiers were overseas. Go to
Baghdad, lose your vote. Mission Accomplished.
How do I know? I have the caging lists…
I have them because they are attached to the emails Rove insists
can’t be found. I have the emails. 500 of them — sent to our team
at BBC after the Rove-bots accidentally sent them to a web domain
owned by our friend John Wooden.
Here’s what you need to know — and the Committee would have
discovered, if only they’d asked:
1. ‘Caging’ voters is a crime, a go-to-jail felony.
2. Griffin wasn’t “involved” in the caging, Ms. Goodling. Griffin,
Rove’s right-hand man (right-hand claw), was directing the illegal
purge and challenge campaign. How do I know? It’s in the email I
got. Thanks. And it’s posted below.
3. On December 7, 2006, the ragin’, cagin’ Griffin was named, on
Rove’s personal demand, US Attorney for Arkansas. Perpetrator
became prosecutor.
The committee was perplexed about Monica’s panicked admission and
accusations about the caging list because the US press never
covered it. That’s because, as Griffin wrote to Goodling in yet
another email (dated February 6 of this year, and also posted
below), their caging operation only made the news on BBC London:
busted open, Griffin bitched, by that “British reporter,” Greg Palast.
There’s no pride in this. Our BBC team broke the story at the top
of the nightly news everywhere on the planet — except the USA —
only because America’s news networks simply refused to cover this
evidence of the electoral coup d’etat that chose our President in
2004.
And now, not bothering to understand the astonishing revelation in
Goodling’s confessional, they are missing the real story behind the
firing of the US attorneys. It’s not about removing prosecutors
disloyal to Bush, it’s about replacing those who refused to aid the
theft of the vote in 2004 with those prepared to burgle it again in
2008.
Now that they have the keys, let’s see if they can put them in the
right door. The clock is ticking ladies and gents…
