Per Foxnews Alert!
Looks like Kofi Annan may be going down. Foxnews has obtained video tapes of Kofi Annan and Paul Volcker.
There are inconsistencies in Kofi Annan's statements. In other words...he's been caught red handed!
I haven't followed this case too closely. But I know that its about damn time for Kofi to step down!!!
I think Volcker was in on the take.
He was getting his share of the money.
Fox is going to cover it.
This may have something to do with that FBI guy (represented by Lanny Davis) who resigned from the UN investigation and turned over his papers to the Congressional oversight committee yesterday.
The British reporter on foxnews just reported that you are right.
His name is Robert P.
Let me get this straight, Paul Volker is having a news conference? Or its a news conference about Paul Volker.
We'll I don't have fox.
I am at work. Whats the news?
resignation?
Paul Volcker is holding a news conference.
Lets hope!
Robert Parton, a lawyer and former FBI agent who resigned last month as senior investigative counsel for the inquiry, gave the documents to U.S. lawmakers even though he signed a confidentiality agreement when he was hired and certified when he left that he possessed no documents related to his work.
Robert Parton
I'm not sure if C-span will cover it. I would imagine they would.

Members of Congress want to know specifically why two senior investigators quit the United Nations committee probing the oil-for-food scandal. Committee chairman Paul Volcker believes it's none of their business.
Thus the stage has been set for a confrontation with Congress that may be quite unsettling for U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan. And indications are that this time he won't emerge smelling like a rose.
Former senior investigator Robert Parton, subpoenaed by the House International Relations Committee, reportedly has turned over boxes of documents. Both Parton and another investigator, Miranda Duncan, have left Mr. Volcker's committee supposedly because it went too easy on Mr. Annan.
Last month Volcker's panel cleared Annan of involvement in awarding a $10 million-a-year inspection contract in Iraq to a Swiss firm that employed Mr. Annan's son, Kojo. Now a source close to Mr. Parton says the investigator wrote two drafts that were far more critical of Annan than what was released by Volcker's panel.
A spokesman for Volcker says he's not seeking diplomatic immunity to protect his panel. But, "to subpoena investigators would harm the integrity of the investigation."
The harm already has been done. It's now in Volcker's own interest to remove any doubts about his committee's work. That is, if he's not hiding anything.
Congress must continue to apply pressure. Silence only furthers suspicions that all is not as it should be on Team Volcker.
sure he was......Annon is expendable, which is why they made the sleaze Secretary in the first place......now, supposedly this wildcat investigator turns up the heat on Annon.......while supposedly badmouthing Volker for being soft on Annon.......thereby diverting attention from the many conflicts of interest that "annon" supposedly "ignored" regarding Volcker in the first place.
You watch... the Leftist UN Apologists will make how he obtained the documents the issue, rather than what's contained in the documents. Just ask Manuel Miranda.
