8:40am PT (11:40am ET): During a break, Edmonds and the attorneys stepped outside.
DoJ still a no-show, so the questioning has proceeded, and Edmonds has been able to say "everything that she hasn't been able to say so far, implicating many members of Congress in a criminal conspiracy," according to interviews with Fein and others.
Edmonds' attorney, Michael Kohn said: "The Justice Department decided not to show. Therefore, the deposition has gone much more smoothly than we had anticipated."
There are apparently a handful of mostly independent and foreign media outlets present outside the NWC. No corporate MSM, from the reports I've gotten. Independent TV/media, an Armenian English language weekly, and press attache representatives of some foreign governments are among those present.

9:41am PT (12:41pm ET): Another break...Edmonds still being questioned under direct. Fein believes his cross-examination will last two hours or so once he begins. They are now breaking for lunch. DoJ/FBI still did not show up.
The deposition is being videotaped and Edmonds hopes that it can be released as soon as possible after the deposition, though there has been some objections about releasing the video tape...
Who is Sibel Edmonds ?
WOW!!
Uh-h-h...what exactly is this about? Care to enlighten us who wouldn’t know Sibel Edmonds from a lightpost?
Krikorian went on to say that he expects to release the video of the deposition, which, along with the transcript, is the property of his legal team. says “There will be...This could be a 10 part YouTube video segment, that we’ll put out there.”
“Care to enlighten us who wouldn’t know Sibel Edmonds from a lightpost?”
Yes, please. I’ve never heard of her either.
Thanks for posting. BTTT!
She was a translator for CIA or FBI back in 2001 and she turned whisleblower and lost her job with the agency. Since then DOJ has claimed her testimony as national security and stopped her from testifing. As I understand it.
This has been a long battle for her, many years.
I have been reading about this for years and I’m amazed that no DOJ appeared at this grand jury.
Never mind. I read the article at your link.
She’s screwing George W. Bush and other Republicans in Congress for dealing with Turkey, our anit-commie ally, under the table.
No wonder the commies in the Obama’s administrtion aren’t showing up. Edmonds probably works for them.
If you choose to see it that way, I see it as an individual that is as fed up with corruption as I am. This has been going for a very long time and it is coming to a head.
I spent thousands of dollars to elect Bush and now I’m disillusioned with all of them.
See my post at #10.
I know she probably believes she is doing something moral. But at that time we NEEDED Turkey, dammit! We needed their help very badly right after the Al Qaida attacks.
I bet she’s a Democrat.
Maybe not guilty unless it’s a guy.
When one deals with nations in the Middle East, you can’t be too choosey about ethics. There is no ethics there exept that of discretion.
I tend to agree
here is what the article said about her
For those not fully up on Edmonds story, her job at the FBI was to listen to wiretaps in the counter-intel department, to translate foreign targets caught on those taps. Presumably, that’s where her details on the destruction of Brewster Jennings comes from. She was hired by the agency shortly after 9/11.
Bombshell enough for ya? Let’s see if anyone in the corporate media bothers to agree, and/or pick up on this -— now that it’s officially “on the record” and, as Edmonds took pains to point out: under oath!
Right. Turkey was vital in the runup to Iraq.
She claims Bush knew about 9/11 months in advance.
” know she probably believes she is doing something moral. But at that time we NEEDED Turkey, dammit! We needed their help very badly right after the Al Qaida attacks.”
Do you remember when Nancy Pelosi Submited the bill condemning Turkey ? I can’t recall but GWB was asking something and she did this to foil him knowing this would anger Turkey.
There is a war going on and the American people are the booty. They are all pirates, we really do not matter as long as we keep our nose away from their topics.
It doesn’t matter if it’s phone tapping, wars, healthcare, or bailouts. Just step aside and get out of their way.
This mentality I am tired of, it ensures corruption and that is all I have been seeing for years. It is time for it to unravel whether it’s democrat or republican. They both are corrupt and it is time for it to stop.
