— OK, can you do some more probing? New York will want to know
frank's out today.
i checked already, and so did zurich. they say the question is irrelevant. he answered me with the quote i used, about we knew when he was coming this time. he's been here many times in the past, we think.
thx brad. aptn is aware, but unfortunately won't make it in time, but is hoping to catch tail end.
i'm pushing out another writethru with some more background details before press conference.
no surprise, new york is really hot on this.
they particularly want to know why now. (has he never set foot in switzerland before?) sheila, theorizes that's because they're under intense pressure over ubs and want to throw the U.S. a bone, but can yo ucheck with justice department sources there?
is frank around too, or are you alone?
u can tell aptn press conf 1700 (15 gmt) in bern at the parliament
i'll watch it live on internet

Just refreshed - too late, the notes are gone and the article us up.
OK - the notes are still up on other automated sites. Click here:

Very interesting. Thanks for posting.
So what’s the big deal?
It’s not a big deal. Just amusing that the AP writer apparently sent her IM messages for general release, instead of the story, and several automated sites picked it up. But no scandal.
Crucial information for conservatives. This could very well be your “buckhead moment”.
Speculation by AP about why all of a sudden they're making this arrest. Kinda embarrassing for AP.
lol, what a ridiculous theory.
That is funny, the Swiss thought they were throwing us a bone while doing this, while the liberal-elites all want him freed. Let’s see if Obama wants the headline, “Obama pardons child-rapist”
Yes, it shows an AP reporting actually investigating a story and following up. Can’t have that.
It reveals how close Swiss banking and Swiss government are.
I dunno, the Obama/UBS angle was the first thing I thought of too when I read about the arrest.
“I’ll watch it live on the internet”
The media writes its own obituary.
At the risk of a getting several more “What’s the big deal” replies - looks like a bunch of sites have picked this up. I Googled one line of the communication:
Wasn’t cuomo going after UBS at one point? bambi dropped patterson like a hot potato in favor of cuomo
Exactly—there’s a lot of weird stuff going on behind the scenes with the Swiss lately.
They would nab a REPUBLICAN if they wanted to do that.
Polanski is a liberal, hollyweird, child molester. IOW, all core DEMOCRAT constituencies.
That was interesting. No capital letters etc., they type just like a lot of trolls who’ve been zotted. ;-)
The CEO of UBS in the US Robert Wolf is a big fundraising bundler for Obama.
The DOJ was getting ready to seize UBS US assets to force tax compliance and so a deal was made to turn over the account names rather than be shut down in the US. It was an awkward position for The Kenyan.
Robert Wolf, CEO of UBS Americas, George Soros
The skeleton in Obama’s money closet

He’ll do a year and get a life-time achievement award at the oscars after his release.
actually,makes alot of sense. would be a bigger scandal in Switzerland.
Interesting. Thanks for the link.
Yes, they left out “the rest of the story”. Obama will pardon the rapist, solidifying the favor and donations of the Hollywood community. That is the bone, not Pulanski himself.
Flashback:
The US government could in theory ask the court to seize UBS assets in the United States until the bank complies, but some analysts argue this would send a chilling message to international financial institutions.
The case also has implications for American jobs. UBS employed 26,934 people in the United States at the end of March, more than in its home country of Switzerland, where 25,889 were employed.
Its Wealth Management Americas division managed a massive 618 billion dollars (673 Swiss francs, 444 billion euros) worth of assets at the end of the first three months of this year, making up about 30 percent of total assets managed by the bank.

Nothing here - everyone bellyaches about the media not being more curious - and now that we have insight into their process, including checking theories, folks are still not happy. I for one am happy to see the reporter isn’t just clipping out of press releases.
Yep.
I’ve gotta wonder why now too, I had thought he was trying to cut a deal with the DA a few years back, guess it didn’t happen. Of course, there’s only been an international warrant out on him since 2005 I believe.
A little weird this happening so close to Susan Atkins dying.
Maybe so, but it was the only thought that came to mind when I saw the story on Drudge and read that Polanski had visited Switzerland before without trouble.
Like I said on an earlier thread, Switzerland is now America’s bitch.

Thank goodness we have the MSM to carefully edit news before it is released to the masses, unlike those nutters writing blogs with no oversight at all.
Life will be so much simpler when Our Glorious Leader does away with that pesky free speech thingy and all news comes to us only from safe, government approved sources.
CAN ANYBODY READ THIS? MY NAME IS DR TODD LAMBERT IM WRITING THIS FROM THE YEAR 2190 ON THE SCIENTIFIC OUTPOST OF SECTOR 26 ON IO MOON OF JUPITER TO WARN NOT TO VOTE FOR OBAMA! IN 2008 OBAMA AND VICE PRESIDENT BYRD WINS THE ELECTIONS AND SURRENDERS TO OSAMA AND THE TERRORIST. AFTER GRANTING AMNESTY TO ALL TERRORISTS AND ILLEGAL ALIENS IN 2009 HE CUTS THE MILITARY BY 99% AND SELLS VERMONT NEW HAMPSHIRE MASSACHUSETTES AND MAINE TO CANADA AND GIVES NEW MEXICO AWAY TO MEXICO. THEN IN 2010 THE DEMOCRATS TAKE OVER THE HOUSE AND SENATE COMPLETELY AND RAISE TAXES FOR ALL AMERICANS INCLUDING THE POOR. IN 2011, ISRAEL IS ATTACKED WITH EBOLA AND SERIN GAS KILLING MILLIONS. THEY RETALIATE BY NUKING MECCA AND IRAQ. THEY ARE CONDEMNED BY EVERYONE INCLUDING OBAMA. IN 2012 WE HAVE HATE SPEECH LAWS AND THE SECOND AMENDMENT IS REPEALED. IT IS A HATE CRIME TO SUPPORT ISRAEL OR CRITICIZE CRIMINALS. IN 2013, UNEMPLOYMENT BECOMES 50% THEN IN 2015 WE GO BANKRUPT AND WE BECOME PART OF THE EUROPEON UNION. IN 2021 OBAMA BECOMES GENERAL SECRETARY OF THE UN AND RULES UNTIL HIS DEATH IN 2052 AT THIS TIME THERE IS 12 YEARS OF FAMINE, 1/3 THE HUMAN RACE DIES OF HUNGER WAR AND PLAGUE AND ALL FREEDOM IS GONE. WE ARE TOLD BY THE STATE WHERE TO GO WHAT TO THINK. IN 2100, WE SET UP COLONIES ON MARS MOSTLY BY CONVICTS LIKE THOSE WHO CRITICIZE THE GOVERNMENT AND BELIEVE IN GOD. THERE IS A “VACATION” CAMP ON VENUS FOR THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN GOD AND A FORCED LABOR CAMP FOR DISSIDENTS AND OTHERS ON GANYMEDE. IN 2150 ALL CITIZENS MUST HAVE V CHIPS INSTALLED IN THEIR BRAINS TO PREVENT “WRONG THINKING.” IN 2175 OSAMA OBAMA BINLADEN, BARACK OBAMA’S GREAT GRANDSON DECLARES INTERSTELLAR WAR ON THE ZOVIGON REPUBLIC BASED ON A STAR SYSTEM CALLED CLINTON 2183 BECAUSE THEY ARE CONSIDERED MENTALLY INCOMPITENT BECAUSE THEY HAVE RELIGION AND ALLOW THEIR CITIZENS TO CARRY GUNS AND DO STUFF LIKE THEY DO IN THE PAST. WE ARE LOSING THE WAR BADLY AND THE ULIAI AND THE KOR ARE THREATENING TO INTERVENE. WE ON IO HAVE BEEN PLACED HERE FOR WEAPONS RESEARCH TO STOP THE ZOVIGON INVADERS. WEAPONS RESEARCHED INCLUDE A GIANT RADIO THAT BLARES KUMBAYA AND WE SHALL OVERCOME FOR 7000 LIGHT YEARS AND A GIANT WHITE FLAG ON OUR MILITARY VESSESLS. (IF YOU WANT TO CALL THEM MILITARY SHIPS) WE HAVE A PATHETIC MILITARY, THE COMMANDERS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO OPEN FIRE ON THE ENEMY VESSELS UNDER PENALTY OF BEING CALLED A RACIST AND COURT MARTIAL AND WE ONLY SPEND 0.5 ON THE MILITARY. THE REST ON WELFARE AND POLITICIAN SALERIES. I HOPE YOU GET THIS, I DISABLED MY CHIP AND WE INVENTED A TIME MACHINE TO SEND MESSAGES THROUGH TIME SO I HOPE YOU GET THIS. UH OH! GUARDS ARE COMING GOTTA GO!
No disagreement, I was just pointing out the somewhat provocative bits.
Yea, isn't that something! Good observation.
“are you alone?”
Why not just hit your “print screen” key & paste into MS Paint or some such? No new software needed.
Thanks, I’m BLIND now. Don’t do that again!
He apparently left out the part where Obama outlaws paragraphs and lower case letters.
So when do the Vogons destroy Earth to make way for a hyperspatial express route?
What crucial information? It’s just a list of points the writer needs information about before he can write up the story. Publishing it is an amusing glitch, but not significant.
You waited 11 years to hit me with a snide remark?
