Obama's legal team seeks special prosecutor for voter registration probe
By TODD SPANGLER • FREE PRESS WASHINGTON STAFF • October 17, 2008
WASHINGTON – Barack Obama’s legal team wants a special prosecutor to determine whether partisan politics is at play in a reported though unconfirmed Justice Department investigation of a voter registration effort which has been the target of numerous complaints of late, including one in Michigan.
With the election just over two weeks away, Bob Bauer, Obama’s chief lawyer, said in a conference call with reporters this afternoon that he is asking U.S. Attorney General Michael Mukasey to to hand over to special prosecutor Nora Dannehy any probe into what Bauer called “bogus claims of vote fraud” that mirror concerns raised by Republicans two years ago....“Are we seeing a repeat now?” said Bauer. “It would seem that we are.”
.....
Bauer said there appears to be an “unholy alliance” between law enforcement officials and Republican officials, including presidential nominee John McCain’s campaign.
.....
Bauer, in his letter to Mukasey, argued that McCain’s claim of widespread fraud are “entirely unsupported” while Republicans want to “harass” and “impede” voters by challenging them at the polls, an accusation GOP officials have denied, saying they only want to combat fraud.
And this allegation is based on what???
Kind of like handing it over directly to Camp Obuma, right Saddam?
Pretty funny. Obama’s group is committing voter fraud, and Obama wants to pick the investigator
Oxymoron: Obama’s Legal Team
Yeah, the SP’s report ought to be ready just in time for the 2012 election...
I think the claims are on tape.
Ignoring the problem and refusing to investigate can be partisan too. That’s what they’re doing in Ohio, and that’s what we do in Minnesota.
If claims of widespread fraud are unsupported, how do you explain the fact that employees of ACORN have been indicted for voter fraud election cycle after election cycle?
By the way, if there is a special prosecutor, I bet he’ll hold a few press conferences before the election, furrowing his brow at serious allegations and questions being raised, then he’ll report sometime around January that officials appointed by Repulicans acted perfectly ethically.
And this allegation is based on what???
On the idea that Obasm smells trouble in paradise; it’s all just slip-sliding away. Needs a scapegoat and why not this one rehashed.
“And this allegation is based on what???”
Everything Republicans do is evil. Duh.
They are figuring that they can’t win without all the fraudulant votes.
The Reds vs. the Whites.
How about a special prosecutor to look into the “Lie Squad” in Missouri, or a civil rights investigation on the Delaware AG who falsely arrested an Obama detractor?
OHHHH .. Ok
Republicans want to investigate vote fraud, and OBAMA wants to investigate the INVESTIGATORS??
HEIL FUHRER OBAMA!!
RICO
Most Presidents are in office a year or two before the special prosecuter is needed. Obama needs investigating even before he is elected.
They should get Jesse Jackson. Then when he stonewalls the investigation before the election, he can be called Ol’ “Stonewall” Jackson.
"Unholy alliances" are just about the only kind Obama and his people have with anybody...or anything.
Calling Janette Reno!
