Long-sealed Watergate documents may be released
By JESSICA GRESKO | Associated Press – Sat, Jun 2, 2012

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. Department of Justice says at least some materials sealed as part of the court case against seven men involved in the 1972 Watergate burglary should be released.

The agency responded Friday to a request by a Texas history professor who is seeking access to materials he believes could help answer lingering questions about the burglary that led to President Richard Nixon's resignation.

Luke Nichter of Texas A&M University-Central Texas in Killeen, Texas, wrote the chief judge of the federal court in Washington to ask that potentially hundreds of pages of documents be unsealed. The judge said in a letter made public earlier this year that the professor had "raised a very legitimate question" about whether the material should remain sealed, and he ordered the Department of Justice to respond with any objections.

Justice attorney Elizabeth Shapiro wrote in a court document filed Friday that the office would not oppose the release of at least some documents.

It has been my observation, based on years of intensive reading of the news, that where there lots of boys, i.e., Boy Scouts,summer camps, alter boys and Penn State University there will be pedophiles. Boys Town would be surprising only if it was the exception.

Did she want them uncovered?? I can't see any reason for her to do it.

You never know with these people.

One of the main victims who brought this forward said that Bush did participate.

Do you believe that?

Were either of them involved?

If I could 'confirm' that, I doubt I would even be alive.

Here is what I believe.

I believe something terrible did happen.

I believe that it involved the CIA.

I also believe it involved that Air Force Base.

I believe it is possible that Bush had oral sex. I don’t think I have seen the sex of victims of that episode. Larry King was a close buddy of Bush. One of the victims was able to draw a floor plan of the residential area of the WH. (could be disinformation)

I also believe that since Colby and the lawyer in the Franklin Cover up were part of Operation Phoenix..that there could be disinformation as part of the Franklin Cover up.

Whether or not Colby really said the words Decamp claims these words ring true:

“”Some people will go to any lengths to make sure things stay secret,” Colby had often repeated to me, “which is why the CIA and the KGB sometimes find their agents dead. Your best interest,” he argued, “may well be in publishing what you know and are able to prove, rather than keeping those facts secret. Whether you ever sell a single book or not does not really matter. Putting your information on the public record is what is important. That way, there is no logical reason to harm you or your family, to suppress some truth you have already documented. That is probably your real life insurance policy in something like this Franklin situation,” Colby had advised me. “

“What you have to understand, John, is that sometimes there are forces and events too big, too powerful, with so much at stake for other people or institutions, that you cannot do anything about them, no matter how evil or wrong they are and no matter how dedicated or sincere you are or how much evidence you have.”

Fast forward to 2012. WHI said something similar.

And as for Holder, who is threatening the Republicans and with what????????

Remember this, Hillary said any president who lies to the American people should be impeached. “I did not have sex with that woman.”

Divert and distract. The idea is remind people about Nixon and the corrupt GOP. All of this is meant to help Obama.

Bingo...and the liberal media will cover this joyfully in an attempt to cover for their boy obama
