It's not often that one person plays key roles in two -- count 'em, two -- trillion-dollar disasters. Welcome, my friends, to the world of well-connected Democrat Jamie Gorelick.
In 2004, observers were "astonished" to discover that a key member of the 9/11 Commission had a fatal conflict-of-interest. Jamie Gorelick had served as a Deputy Attorney General under Bill Clinton from 1994 to 1997.
It was later revealed that Gorelick had established a pre-Patriot Act "wall" that prevented the foreign intelligence and criminal investigative communities from collaborating.
Her 1995 memo, entitled "Instructions on Separation of Certain Foreign Counterintelligence and Criminal Investigations", stated explicitly that they would "go beyond what is legally required, [to] prevent any risk of creating an unwarranted appearance that FISA is being used to avoid procedural safeguards which would apply in a criminal investigation."
The result: shortly before 9/11, Gorelick's wall "specifically impeded the investigation into Zacarias Moussaoui", the so-called "20th hijacker."
At the time, an enraged FBI investigator wrote a memo to headquarters which included the sentence, 'Whatever has happened to this -- someday someone will die -- and wall or not -- the public will not understand why we were not more effective..."

Because the Bush family are part of the Globalist Movement. That is why Bill Clinton and Bush Sr. have dinner together and travel together. Wake up.
I believe she was on the side of Duke in the Duke LAX Case. Her specialty is obstruction and payoffs.
She should be charged with accounting fraud before the statute of limitations is up. 5 years from the end of the crime and she can never be charged. She, Johnson, and Raines were the main players at Freddie/Fannie who cooked the books and brought the world economy to it’s knees.
Their motive was to obtain millions in bonuses. They also wanted to grow mortgages to the poor to expand their progressive utopian agenda. They created investment instruments to raise capital to continue their progressive banking scheme. The taxpayers and future generations will pay trillions. This not only damaged us financially but many of our allies were impacted. How were her actions any different than Ken Lay’s at Enron? I would argue they were worse since she was appointed to a government supported entity and the damage was so widespread.
Her efforts to build firewalls in the intelligence community are well understood by few but were incredibly dangerous. As someone posted above, if you wanted to hide the Clinton-China scandal the best way to do this was to block the FBI and our foreign intelligence services from talking. This indirectly contributed to the intelligence failure of 9/11 costing America trillions. If we ever go to war in Asia, the damage could be even worse.
If we tried to explain it here on this website, we would be flamed, and then banned.
Of course she should be charged and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, along with anyone else who was in on it.
Good luck with that.
ps: don't hold your breath waiting for it to happen.
By the way, today C-SPAN interviewed Michael Scheuer,former Chief (and creator) of the CIA Bin Laden Unit from 1996-1999, on Washington Journal today.
He was asked if it (getting Bin Laden) happened the way he thought it would happen or planned it to happen.
“It did not happen the way we planned it because under Mr Clinton we had no lethal authority. We could not have done this operation against Bin Laden. We were directed either to capture him through a kidnapping or to give the US military to use their air power.”
He said Clinton had TEN specific opportunities to get Bin Laden.
In the best opportunity, when Bin Laden was in the desert meeting with several UAE princes, he said that Clinton, rather than get Bin Laden, contacted one of the princes to warn them because Clinton was in the middle of a deal to sell planes to the UAE-—so, Scheuer said, Clinton chose to sell planes to Arabs rather than get Bin Laden and protect American lives.
Clinton had another opportunity in the third week of May 1998-— an opportunity to kidnap Bin Laden. He cancelled the operation.
Caller asked about Clinton & Bin Laden. Scheuer said the 911 report describes the 10 specific opportunities in detail. Had they been given lethal authority, Bin Laden would have been dead in spring of 99.
PS: Scheuer must have mentioned Clinton dozens of times in the interview and not ONCE did he refer to him as President -— it was always as Clinton or Mr. Clinton. His description of Clinton was scathing. Basically said Clinton never made a decision not based in pure self-interest.
On the recent terror alert, Scheuer said that the one thing the government has not mentioned is how these three terrorists got into the US. It would be terrible if they got through an airport or customs, but it’s going to be worse politically if they got in from Mexico or Canada, where there are no controls in some areas....In terms of our borders, the great majority of our maritime and land borders are completely uncontrolled.”
This interview is well worth listening to if you get an opportunity to read a transcript or catch a repeat of the program.
Jamie Gorelick-—”the Forrest Gump of national scandals...”
LOL!

The bigger disaster she oversaw was Fannie Mae where she was paid $30 million.
I cannot tell you how many times I have resented some of this week's media coverage of the 9/11 anniversary, because no one is mentioning the one person that should be implicated in the intelligence community's failure to identify the threat.
PBS broadcast a report this past Tuesday by Rachel Martin who seemed to have no idea about Jamie Gorelick’s actions that strangled the CIA.
Countless others blamed the failure on the Bush people.
I sat listening to the tripe without one mention of this:
“It should be noted that when Gorelick penned the aforementioned memo**(see below), President Clinton was extremely worried about ongoing FBI and CIA investigations into illegal Chinese contributions that had been made to his presidential campaign.
“Both the FBI and the CIA were churning up evidence damaging to the Democratic Party, its fundraisers, the Chinese, and ultimately the Clinton administration itself.”
Think Charlie Trie here.
“It was also a period when the FBI had begun to systematically investigate weapons-technology theft by foreign powers, most notably Russia and China.
Think Loral Space Systems. Clinton give aways, not theft.
Think Clinton moving overseas technology transfer approval authority out of the Defense Dept. to Ron Brown's Dept. of Commerce.
“Had FBI agents been able to confirm China's theft of such technology — or its transfer of that technology to nations like Pakistan, Iran and Syria — Clinton would have been forced by law and international treaty to react (and to thereby jeopardize the future flow of Chinese money into his political coffers).”
**In a 1995 memo to then-FBI Director Louis Freeh and U.S. Attorney Mary Jo White, titled “Instructions on Separation of Certain Foreign Counterintelligence and Criminal Investigations,” Gorelick wrote the following:
“We believe that it is prudent to establish a set of instructions that will more clearly separate the counterintelligence investigation from the more limited, but continued, criminal investigations. 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.”

Excuse the double post
It's beyond explanation. The whole thing was a farce, from beginning to end. One of the most ironic scenes in modern history was when Jamie Gorelick was grilling Condi Rice. It should have been the other way around. Condi toyed with Gorelick like a cat playing with a mouse. I wish she'd sunk her teeth in, instead of letting her off the hook.
This needs to be spread around... and she needs to be indicted.
This is EXACTLY why a globalist RINO is unacceptable for president.
The “anybody but Obama” crowd must be opposed at every opportunity if we are to keep this Republic.
Dubya did not do Jack to hold the Clinton cartel accountable for it’s crimes.
We MUST have a TRUE reformer elected in 2012.
I think she’s also still involved with the Blackstone Group. That’s an outfit that’s even slicker than Jamie.
Thanks for the post and shining the spotlight on the vermin.
Is Ron Paul your true reformer?
One of my personal favorites and appropriate right about now. End of the legacy = http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1697083/posts
I found the interview by doing a search for Cspan and clicking on the Washington Journal link. The next choice is a Michael Scheuer video link. It is about 45 minutes.
I tried to paste a link, but have problems.
