"From My Sister, Olga" or "I Told You She Was A Bona-Fide Liberal"

I recently received this foray from my sister, Olga. As for the subject matter, I report, you decide.

"IMPEACH BUSH AND ENTER THE "GUESS HOW MANY INDICTMENTS" POOL

As always we feature the action link first, this one to call for the
impeachment of George Bush

http://www.millionphonemarch.com/impeach.htm

There is a storm of historic proportions headed for the United States, one
that will make Hurricane Wilma (also en route) look like a small splash in
the pond by comparison. It's been building and gathering strength in the
increasingly hot waters of the Special Counsel's office for almost two
years, and in a matter of days it may lay waste to the entire political
infrastructure of Washington, D.C., from one end to the other.

We start with the understanding that the crime of the century (so far) has
taken place in Iraq. Lies and forged evidence duped the American people
into waging preemptive war against a country that posed no threat to us --
all for the cynical and greedy purpose of enriching a handful of the Bush
administration's closest cronies. In the process, over 100,000 people have
been senselessly murdered and maimed, including many thousands of our own
service people. Hundreds of billions of dollars have been looted from the
treasuries of two countries, mostly our own. Even worse, many believe that
the attack of 9/11 was not only foreseen by the inner circle of our
government, but that orders for a deliberate "stand-down" allowed it to
occur. Why? So that the horrific resulting tragedy would justify all that
followed.

The magnitude of these crimes is so monumental that their perpetrators were
obsessed with suppressing any evidence of it. They ruthlessly smeared all
critics, purging and intimidating any dissenting voices. For them the
treasonous acts of exposing (and thereby destroying) one of our most
critical intelligence assets (a front company secretly working to prevent
the spread of WMD), were just another day's collateral damage. Having lied
successfully for so long, having corrupted their mainstream corporate media
lap dogs, and having made eunuchs of many in the "opposition" party, they
considered themselves unassailable. Such arrogance has seldom been equaled.

What they did not count on was Patrick Fitzgerald. The letter which
appointed him as Special Counsel granted to him the "authority of the
Attorney General . . . independent of the supervision or control of any
officer of the Department." Careful to confirm the extent of his mandate,
he further inquired and was advised that

"[It] is plenary and includes the authority to investigate and prosecute
violations of any federal criminal laws related to the underlying alleged
unauthorized disclosure, as well as federal crimes committed in the course
of, and with intent to interfere with, your investigation, such as perjury,
obstruction of justice, destruction of evidence, and intimidation of
witnesses; to conduct appeals arising out of the matter being investigated
and/or prosecuted . . ."

"Plenary" means "absolute and unqualified." In a word, Fitzgerald has all
the power of the attorney general, the top law enforcement officer of the
federal government himself, to pursue the facts wherever they may lead. It
therefore appears he now possesses his own authority, and cannot be legally
removed from his position, even by Bush. He has his own operating budget
too, direct from the GAO.

For the criminal purposes of the Bush administration, Patrick Fitzgerald is
their worst nightmare come true. He is a career prosecutor with a
reputation for being not only "frighteningly" brilliant but fearless, and
with a driving passion for determining the truth, their most mortal enemy.
Indeed, the fastest way to get Fitzgerald's fur up is to try to lie to him
as a witness. See, he's a workaholic already, and liars just make him work
harder. And if you've committed a federal crime like maybe . . . oh gee,
maybe like perjury . . . says an old attorney friend, "Pat Fitzgerald's
gonna get ya." Oh, and did we mention that he always goes for the person at
the top of the conspiracy?

For those who are still trying to get their minds around the possible
indictment of Rove and Libby, now a near certainty, consider that no one in
the Bush camp is capable of telling the truth under any circumstances. As
for Bush himself, one of his Harvard Business School professors said that
Dubya was "famous" in his class for being a "pathological" liar. Bush has
known all along who the leakers were, and he's been lying all along.
Fitzgerald interviewed Bush for over an hour, and it's unlikely that he told
the truth in any respect. Bad move, George. Fitzie don't play that.

But wait, you say; that interview wasn't under oath. Try telling that to
Martha Stewart who just got out of prison from her conviction for deceiving
an investigator. Likewise with Dick Cheney. Even if two of his bag men had
not cut deals with Fitzgerald already. And as for those who did testify
untruthfully to the grand jury under oath, ask Li'l Kim what heinous lie she
told to keep her in federal prison for a year. All she did was deny that
she knew somebody that she did, in fact, know.

So let's put it together. We have a president who seems unable to tell the
truth. We have an independent prosecutor of immaculate integrity who will
not tolerate a lie. The INESCAPABLE conclusion is that Bush will be
indicted, along with each and every member of his administration who
participated in this. There has been talk on the web of 22 indictments.
Rove and Libby -- (that's two), add two for Hannah and Wurmser (already
cooperating but not given immunity), plus Bush and Cheney -- that gets us up
to six . . . why don't we just say conservatively for the purposes of the
pool . . . that 12 people will be indicted.

Besides perjury (and false statements), Fitzgerald has conspiracy and
obstruction of justice to pick from as well, and those are just a couple of
the technical crimes. Remember that he has the authority to pursue this
investigation wherever it leads, and he is driven to do just that. He was
born for this. Among other things, he requested from the Italian
authorities the files on the forging of the Niger documents themselves.
That was what Joe Wilson's trip was all about. And why they were so
compelled to "out" his wife in the first place in their clumsy attempt to
discredit him. What do you think the chances are that the most zealous
prosecutor they could have appointed won't get to the bottom of that one,
too? He may even expose what really happened on 9/11. Wouldn't that be the
"coup de grace"?

So what happens next? What happens if Bush tries to preemptively pardon
everyone, INCLUDING himself? Even Nixon wasn't that shameless. But don't
put it past Bush to trigger the greatest constitutional crisis of all time.
There are a couple of wrinkles involved here, beyond even the public outroar
that would result. The constitution states that the president has the power
to pardon "except in Cases of Impeachment." That's why it is important that
you act now to demand the impeachment of Bush for all the high crimes and
misdemeanors that he has committed already. In the end it may be the only
way to restrain him.

TAKE ACTION NOW AT http://www.millionphonemarch.com/impeach.htm

If Bush tries to pardon himself AND cling to power, expect winds of historic
intensity for change. And in the center of it all there will be a vacuum of
power. For those politicians who have shown no courage so far, this will be
their last chance! Don't be surprised to see the conspirators running to
Roberts, their latest crony appointment, to try to find a way out. And
eternal shame on any member of the senate who lets that one slide without
demanding each and every document that could help reveal the truth.

Please take action NOW, so we can win all victories that are supposed to be
ours, and forward this message to everyone else you know.
