Eric Holder Running From Congress

Eric Holder

U.S. Attorney General and Obama appointee, Eric Holder, is running from Congress. He postponed his appearance in Congress, that was slated to occur today, deferring it to April 14, 2010. The last time he appeared in Congress, he came across as incompetent and unprepared and senators verbally ripped him to shreds

Holder is widely being slammed in the mainstream press and by the general public online for a number of follies and critics are interpreting this postponement as fear on the part of the Attorney General. Members of Congress slammed today's no show.

I do not like how this man operates at all. So many people in the press and on the blogs, are complaining of his lack of transparency and sheer treachery in matters of law.

I've seen it firsthand in the Aisha v. FBI case. Rather than do the right and honorable thing, Holder and Mueller have tried every crooked legal maneuver in the world, to continue hiding Freedom of Information Act documents, while millions watch their misconduct - and they did it at a time I am physically ill and my life and health are at stake, due to conduct the FBI contributed to.

You're appalling and have no conscience or scruples. When you do things like that, you make a mockery of the nation's laws for the world to see. Who could respect something like that.

Sessions Slams Delayed Holder Hearing

March 23, 2010 5:45 pm - The top Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee criticized the decision to delay a scheduled oversight hearing with Attorney General Eric Holder Tuesday, taking the opportunity to flesh out his disagreements with the way the Justice Department has handled terrorism cases under his leadership.

“The last time Attorney General Holder testified before the Senate was November 18th of last year. Then in late January, following revelations that the Christmas Bomber had been hastily Mirandized—without consulting the relevant intelligence agencies—Republicans called for an immediate hearing with the Attorney General,” Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) said in a statement. “Unfortunately, that hearing never was never held. We were told instead that we would have an opportunity to question Attorney General Holder at a planned oversight hearing in March.”

“Now that won’t happen either. But while this hearing has been delayed, the Attorney General cannot delay action to repair his broken policies,” Sessions added...

AG Holder, Facing Hits From Left And Right, Gets Reprieve From Senate Hearing

Mar. 23, 2010, 8:26 AM - US Attorney General Eric Holder was scheduled to have a chat with the Senate today, but, with less than 24 hours on the clock, it was rescheduled for April 14.

The postponement is possibly due to the signing of the health care bill, but Republicans think Holder might be glad for the extra time. No matter when it happens, it will not be a passive event.

The hearing is officially billed as "oversight of the Department of Justice" but general consensus is he'll face strong questioning over his decision (which seems more and more likely to be reversed) to try some of the alleged 9/11 masterminds in federal court.

The Wall Street Journal has a full report today on criticisms lobbed from both the left and the right and suggest that "the controversies provoked by his decisions threaten to derail his career..."

ATTORNEY GENERAL HOLDER AND HIS NON-TRANSPARENCY

March 21, 2010 - In 1999, Eric Holder helped arrange Bill Clinton pardons for 16 unrepentant members of FALN who had been convicted of “a variety of charges that included conspiracy, sedition, violation of the Hobbes Act (extortion by force, violence or fear), armed robbery and illegal possession of weapons and explosives -- including large quantities of C-4 plastic explosive, dynamite and huge caches of ammunition.”

More and more Americans are discovering that the Obama Administration's definition of transparency is more Clintonian and semantic than it is honest and encouraging.

The latest embarrassment for the Obama White House is the discovery that Attorney General Eric Holder has been less than forthcoming about his activities prior to being appointed U.S. Attorney General.

This week, the U.S. Department of Justice celebrated the one-year anniversary of Attorney General Eric Holder’s 2009 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) guidelines.

Issued exactly one year ago, Holder's guidelines were supposed to aid President Barack Obama’s “new era of open government” by establishing a “criteria governing the presumption of disclosure” and creating “effective systems for responding to requests.”

Unfortunately, after only the first year under these heralded guidelines, legal watchdog group Judicial Watch reported on March 17 that its officials have experienced little improvement in U.S. government transparency or accountability.

In fact, a recent analysis finds that government secrecy has actually increased under Obama...

Activist From ACORN Scandal Posed As Telephone Repairman

Video: Watergate Style Break-In At Sen. Landrieu's Office - CBS

The activist from the ACORN scandal, James O'Keefe, who was arrested last week for tampering with and wiretapping the office of Senator Mary Landrieu, employed a tactic I complained of 5 months ago in my lawsuit Aisha v. FBI.

Day one, the phone company would send someone to fix my phone line, then by day two, unbeknownst to us, Madonna's Kabbalah would send someone posing as a telephone repairman to tamper with it again.

This pattern repeated itself 3 times in 2005 over the course of two weeks, which led me to call the phone company and ask how many repair men they sent out. They said 3, yet we counted 6 and one of them knew too much about me, made his way into my home studio and confronted me, which gave the game away that he was a fraud posing as a repairman. Something he said gave it away that it was Kabbalah. I stated in the lawsuit:

Furthermore, how would the FBI explain away all the concrete evidence in the case, illustrating blatant crimes being committed against Aisha, such as the fact the hacks into Aisha’s computers to steal copyrights have been digitally and irrefutably traced back to the staff of Madonna.com. Madonna’s famous producers, affiliates and friends contacting Aisha online, by phone and in person. Her business partner, Sony, contacting Aisha repeatedly via email, inviting her to their company, sending her a gift by mail containing spyware, then proceeding to commit criminal copyright infringement, unlawfully using years old, preexisting copyrights belonging to Aisha. Members of Madonna’s Miami Kabbalah Center arrogantly stalking Aisha’s on a weekly basis, approaching her and getting caught on camera. The revelation that members of Madonna’s Kabbalah Center trespassed at Aisha’s home, unlawfully gaining access to Aisha’s house, pretending to be AT&T and Direct TV technicians the companies later claimed no knowledge of dispatching.

Based on reports over the past few days, O'Keefe and others conspired, then went to Senator Mary Landrieu's office posing as telephone repairmen. Apparently, this is the latest way to trespass and commit invasion of privacy and wiretapping. The sad part is innocent surveillance targets could get hurt in this manner, when people abuse phone companies' names, posing as their employees.

There was an incident regarding my phone line needing repair. All of a sudden, our line bore all the written about signs of wiretapping, such as interference on the line, static, secondary conversations as though the lines were crossed up, the phone would ring and a constant beeping noise would sound with no one on the other end, calls would abruptly cut off during key points in conversations and clicking noises would sound during certain phone calls. I looked it up online. Numerous private investigators' websites and book excerpts referred to it as signs or symptoms of wiretapping.

However, there were two other strange incidents regarding my phone line as well. In 2006, an actual AT&T repairman looked at my phone line, then came into my home office, as he didn't like what he saw on it, then started talking about wiretaps and stated "You aren't a spy are you" which really offended me, because I'm not (he was assuming only spies and terrorists are wiretapped - clearly, he hadn't met Madonna's private eye Anthony Pellicano or heard of the FBI spying on journalists and bloggers). He saw the wiretap.

Then, there was another incident prior to that where an AT&T phone repairman called me into the backyard while he was working on the phone box they put on each person's property and said to me, he doesn't like the fact there is no one inside the house, yet my phone line outside is lit up, showing activity and is engaged.

There is a pervasive corruption in the government and the corporate sector, where people believe they have an illegal right to spy on others, engaging in invasion of privacy, via wiretaps and other unsavory surveillance tools such as hidden cameras, forbidden by law. It needs to stop, as it is unconstitutional, thoroughly illegal and sick.

Has the FBI seized the computers of the New Orleans 4?

January 28, 2010 - Defenders of the operatives who tried to tamper with Sen. Mary Landrieu's phones point out that the men have not been formally accused of wiretapping. They have been accused of intending to maliciously tamper with the a federally owned phone system.

Wiretapping is one type of malicious tampering. It's also a much more serious and politically explosive charge than mere vandalism. So, as you'd expect, the suspects' lawyers are working overtime to counter suspicions of bugging or wiretapping...

The first step would be to analyze the equipment that the suspects brought with them. According to the affidavit that the two fake "repairmen" were wearing tool belts. So far, authorities haven't said what kind of tools they were carrying. It would also be nice to know more about that listening equipment that Stan Dai supposedly had with him in his car when he was arrested...

All four guys have been bailed out of jail. Let's hope the FBI has taken care to secure their home and work computers. Otherwise, they're probably home wiping their hard drives right now.
