Rush: Gorelick Quietly Asked By Kean To Resign!

According to an article Rush just read, Jamie Gorelick was quietly asked by Commission Chairman Thomas Kean to resign from the 9/11 commission due to conflict of interest. According to an unnamed staffer, she refused. Should we start a poll on how long she lasts?

[mwl1]

I called my GOP congressman to demand that he call for her resignation. Just imagine the outrage if this were a GOP official with these conflicts of interest. They'd break into regular programming.

[hershey]

Aha!

[hchutch]

Dunno - Air America got a court order to go back on the air...

[J. L. Chamberlain]

You guys don't get it, do you? Kean and Hamilton aren't going to give her up. No matter what! You guys can bitch, carp and complain all the live long day and she's going to just be standing there. In the end, Bush will cave and call off the dogs because he can't afford to have them going on Larry King Live and pinning the whole 9/11 mess right on him. But by all means, have your fun!

Maybe the TWA800 familes should step in right about now and start asking questions...

[Truth29]

What about Sensenbrenner calling a hearing and subpoenaing her? Only a dream, I know.

[Wolfstar]

That would be my guess, too. Given the state of the public record, we most definitely cannot be blamed for wondering.

[Sender]

If Gorelick really knows things about OKC and TWA flight 800, and if someone thinks she might crack if she becomes a witness, then she should fight to stay on that commission as if her life depended on it.

[rod1]

Maybe it would be helpful to attach a draft resignation memos to the request that Gorelick resign. Clearly Gorelick has lost her touch crafting needed much memos since 1995.

The other panel memebers need to get the message that they are going to get painted with the same putrid brush if she hangs around much longer. It wil not be just the whole panel's reputation as a legitimate investigatory body--- it will be raise suspicions as to what are these other guys hiding--since clearly they are not interested in the truth.

[randog]

...I have wondered whether Gorelick was a deliberate choice of the Bush administration, so that at an opportune moment the credibility and non-partisanship of the commission may be called into question...

Bush and his admin are masters of the Rope-A-Dope game (and, conversely, the dems are really, really bad at it). I would suspect that the WH knew the dums would stack the panel and just conveniently looked the other way.

[kittymyrib]

Only honorable people resign, never the Clintonistas. With no honor, morals, or integrity the only thing they have left is their government jobs to give them a sense of power over their betters, and they will NEVER give that up. It's their only reason for living.

[Robert_Paulson2]

and herself.
she is implicated in the murders of 3000 americans on 9-11 by her policy memo and undisclosed bi weekly meetings with tenet during the clinton administration, as a cia consultant of some kind.

clintong implemented this policy of separation, just to cover up and control investigatons of his own criminal/international actions against the USA. He fired 1200 federal prosecutors his second day in office to get this done too.

Gorelick knows where the bodies are buried or who buried them when where and why... She is there to save clinton and her highness... hillary.

the 9/11 panel is a cover up/ attack dog tool of the clintongs. and america knows it.

[randog]

...-Gorelick resigns "for the good of the commission"

Case closed, Clinton is safe again.

I agree with your assessment except for the last part. The toothpaste is out of the tube. Regardless of what happens, Gore-lick is a smoking gun. I expect the books linking her and the DOJ's obstruction activities to start hitting the bookshelves in 3-4 months.

[Judith Anne]

The longer this commission goes on, the more the actual truth comes out and the worse the commission members look. I'm actually looking forward to even more revelations of similar skullduggery by the slimy liberal creatures crawling out from under rocks onto their slimy RINO friends, and watching them burn up in the sunlight of truth.

And President Bush accomplished all of this--yes, I "blame" him for letting the frikken America-haters hang themselves in public using their own rope. ;-D

[Eva]

Gorelick is not the only Democrat commissioner who knows where all the bodies are buried. The new question is what did Ben Veniste know about the Gorelick wall and when did he know it?

In the end, Bush will cave and call off the dogs because he can't afford to have them going on Larry King Live and pinning the whole 9/11 mess right on him.

They're going to pin all the blame for 9/11 on Bush anyway - the RINOs on the commission have shown time and again that they are too spineless to get in the Rats' way on this. They'll throw in a few minor "technicality" type gigs for Clinton just to make the report look "fair", but even then they'll probably downplay any real culpability that Clinton or senior Clinton people may have had, and portray it as screw-ups by low-level staffers that just can't be avoided (the "we're all human" defense). The report will most likely assign at least 90 percent of the blame to the Bush Administration.

So all that leaves for us is to point out just how much of a partisan joke this so-called nonpartisan committee has become. Continuing to hammer away at Gore-lick is one way to keep that in the spotlight. And while I agree that Gore-lick is not going anywhere unless Clinton invites her to Fort Marcy Park for a "friendly chat", the harder they have to fight to keep her on the commission in the face of steadily increasing evidence that she belongs on the witness stand, the better it is for us, as this serves to discredit this kangaroo court that much more.

You have to wonder what fantasy world the Republican leadership lives in when they select ineffectual retired politicians like Orrin Hatch and Thomas Kean for the 9-11 commission, while the Democrats stock their side with attack dogs like Richard Ben Veniste and Jamie Gorelick. It's possible that the Clintons have incriminating files on these GOP politicians, but does that explain why George W. Bush did not thoroughly clean house of leftover Clintonistas in any position of authority right after his inauguration? Does it explain why we seem to be following a "no win war", Vietnam-style strategy against the Iraqi rebels.

Is there some sort of "terminal niceness" DNA in the genes of Republican leaders that prevents them from going on the attack? Someone should send copies of the photograph of Leo Durocher, the baseball manager known for his statement, "Nice guys finish last," and of General Douglas MacArthur, known for his statement, "There is no substitute for victory," to the White House, GOP National Headquarters, and the offices of Republican Senators and Congressmen.

bad link, I'll try again. The Hideous Career of Richard Ben Veniste

[alnick]

Look, Hatch has done some things I don't like, but the quote you posted says the opposite of what you imply. He said he trusts she will do the right thing. That means he trusts she will resign.

[EQAndyBuzz]

"She will never resign. It is not the Clintonista way."

Nope. She will file a lawsuit, have Ben Viste represent here, the ACLU will claim discrimination, she will win a big settlement, will will then take a professorship to Lib U where she will espouse her Marxist beliefs.

ABCCBSNBCCNNMSNBCNPR will blame Bush for this and will demand and investigation. During the investigation, all reference to her documents will disappear.
