Obama’s Next National Disaster – Jamie Gorelick As FBI Director?
AIPNews.com ^ | March 24, 2011 | John L. Work

If you think that Barack Hussein Obama has done as much as he can possibly do toward the demolition of our Republic, you had better think again.  I know it’s getting harder and harder to read the news reports.  He just keeps piling the destruction onto us to the point where it’s unbearable.  But, here’s the latest:

 Jamie Gorelick, who is now infamous within right-leaning circles (the same Jamie Gorelick who pocketed tens of millions of dollars during the Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac collapses that put us directly into the financial disaster we are now suffering – the same Jamie Gorelick who in 1995 authored a memo that Attorney General John Ashcroft later testified under oath was a directly contributing factor to the success of the 9/11 attacks of 2001) – is on Barack Obama’s “short list” to be named Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

 With thanks to Michael Savage, here are some excerpts from the CNS report by Chris Neefus:

 “(CNSNews.com)  – Jamie Gorelick, a former Clinton administration official who reportedly has made the Obama administration’s short list to become the next director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), was paid more than $26 million in total compensation as a top executive at Fannie Mae–before taxpayers had to bail out the mortgage giant…”

 That’s not the worst of it.  Read on.

 “…In a 1995 Justice Department memo, written when she was deputy attorney general, Kagan prescribed a policy for limiting the flow of information between intelligence gatherers and criminal investigators within the Justice Department…”

 “…Rules stemming from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), under which the intelligence community was operating as part of its investigation, stipulates that information may only be gathered by way of surveillance for the primary purpose of intelligence, not to contribute to a criminal case under which defendants have more constitutional protections…”

 “…“These procedures, which go beyond what is legally required, will prevent any risk of creating an unwarranted appearance that FISA is being used to avoid procedural safeguards which would apply in a criminal investigation,” Gorelick wrote…”

 Here’s the crux of the matter.  Gorelick’s memo had the net effect of prohibiting law enforcement agencies, such as the FBI, from gathering or accepting any criminal investigative information from federal intelligence-gathering agencies, which would be firstly concerned with safe-guarding national security interests.  From the wording of the memo, Gorelick was apparently more concerned with ensuring that the Constitutional protections of the 4th Amendment be extended to foreign nationals who might be planning acts of war against the United States than she was with preventing terrorist attacks on our soil.  But, let’s go on again:

 “…Bush Attorney General John Ashcroft later testified before the 9/11 Commission that Gorelick’s “wall” was a “structural cause” in the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001 being allowed to occur.

 In his prepared testimony, he said, “In 1995 the Justice Department, imposing a series of restrictions on the FBI that went beyond what the law required. … The single greatest structural cause for September 11 was the wall that segregated criminal investigators and intelligence agents. Government erected this wall. Government buttressed this wall. And before September 11, government was blinded by this wall.”…”

 Of course, Gorelick later denied that her restrictive memo was a factor in allowing the 9/11 attacks.  Socio-pathic (that is to say, without a conscience) lawyers from either side of the political spectrum are always masters of pointing their fingers at each other.  But this was unquestionably a policy blunder of historical proportions, written by the hand of Ms. Gorelick.

 The salient point here is:  After all of the controversy in which Jamie Gorelick has been embroiled, why is this woman even being considered for the position of FBI Director?  What does Barack Hussein Obama have up his sleeve now?

 Read all of it.

Thanks TRP. After I posted it and looked at it again, it made me think of a horse’s as* and that seems to fit him perfectly.

I sure hope you are right.

The only reason to appoint Gorelick to head the FBI would be so the Obama administration can engage in unlimited and unmolested criminal activity, far beyond the current level.

If this woman gets the job, the already horrific level of looting of this country will seem like merely 'boosting' sneakers out of broken shop windows compared to cleaning out bank vaults when we see what ensues.

The clock is ticking on the whole criminal operation in DC, and they are behind schedule.

My video about Jamie Gorelick including an interview with Louis Freeh talking about how Able Danger was ignored.

How much do you really know about 911?
