NIGERGATE: FBI TO CONDUCT IN DEPTH INVESTIGATIONS. VARIOUS NATIONALITIES, INCLUDING AMERICANS, INVOLVED IN THE SCANDAL, RESULTS EXPECTED VERY SOON.
INCREDIBLE, the FBI is opening a new front in the Nigergate affair. Thanks to the efforts of Free Republic the Niger-gate affair is at last heading in the right direction. As reported in the Los Angeles Times (http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-niger3dec03,0,4700538.story?coll=la-home-headlines), albeit in their ‘own way’, the FBI has decided to continue its investigations into the false documents that lie at the heart of the affair. The FBI will continue its investigation working alongside the Italian SISMI, the results, according to qualified sources, will not be long in the coming. The investigation will concentrate on two aspects of the affair: 1) identifying who is behind the forgeries and what their motives were and 2) who in a second moment attempted to gain from the affair. An Italian news agency quoted a qualified intelligence source as saying “The investigations are also aimed at asserting who, and for what reasons, tried to accredit the responsibility to the Italian authorities and through this damage the institutions”. This is fantastic, what the official is saying is that the members of the media (and we know who they mean) who took part in the crusade aimed at damaging Italy’s security apparatus and thus it’s government and thus the security of an allied nation are going to be ‘named and shamed’. Are we about to see a few new indictments? What we will definitely see are a lot less smiles in certain circles.
The news wires are reporting that the pressure applied by a group of Senators, including John Rockefeller, has induced the FBI to further investigate the matter. Initially the FBI concluded that the forgeries were simply the work of a trickster who wanted to make some fast cash, now they are going to go all the way down the line. This is going to be interesting, what’s being said is that initially there was very little suspicion of political manoeuvring, the FBI are now doing a rethink and are examining exactly this: what is the REAL STORY behind the long and drawn out affair. Who stood to gain, who tried to manipulate through lies, falsities, insinuations and outright untruths. Put in simple terms the FBI are now looking at the affair as an attempt to influence American foreign policy and an attempt to create internal damage.
It gets better: according to media reports the FBI is concentrating on a line that places numerous individuals, including US citizens, in relation to the affair surrounding the forgeries. So the FBI concluded some time back that the Italian SISMI had nothing to do with the forgeries and is now examining an internal front. This is news. Shame on the lie mongers who tried, and are still trying, to place the blame on one the principal allies of the US. The FBI have asked for help from the Italians so the days of malicious lies and deceit from certain blogs and certain MSM are over. Finished. Well almost, the FBI will be asking some folks a lot of questions, why they disseminated lies, why they pointed fingers and why, above all, did they try to damage a key allied government and their own administration.
Free Republic has played an important role in all of this, we should be satisfied that by helping the truth to emerge (the REAL truth, not the invented truths of the liars) the FBI has opened a new and crucial front into the entire affair. All of this should make us PROUD. We were the first to say that SISMI was innocent, that Rocco Martino was working for Paris and that bloggers, journalists and ‘associates’ were spreading lies. We were the first to open the ‘French Connection’ and the first to look at it in detail (see most recent postings). By its actions and through its decisions the FBI has proved us all correct. This is a triumph for the truth, I fear that those who were saying the same thing about their own actions are going to have to eat their words.
Lets keep posting. Interesting times indeed.
Freepers have done better work researching this than the FBI has!

Links?
Rockefeller asked?
Rockefeller asked?
He made sure the issue wasn't discussed during the Senate investigation of pre war intelligence due to the ongoing FBI investigation.
Anybody know why the investigation was dropped. Wonder if Rockefeller was just buying time?
However, I find it curious John Rockefeller is in on getting this investigation going. Does he think Cheney is part of it? Which is what's been flying around the net. He'll find a totally different set of circumstances. Which will blow the lid off many on the left, IMHO.
As I've mentioned before, Jerky Springer said that Rove and Cheney are the forgers. I actually listened to his show for about 5 minutes one day. What a jerk!
Rockerfeller is hiding in plain sight, like a fox mingling with the Beagle pack at a hunt
I wouldn't trust Rockefeller if my life depended on it.
The Wilsons and the CIA will soon find out they have violated the first rule of a coup. And of course, the first rule of a coup is that you must kill the King, because if you fail, your a$$ is grass and the King has the lawn mower.
You bet he is. Rockefeller is an American enemy, IMHO. He and all the left are trying as hard as hell to find something anything to try an impeach Bush. If this is all they've got...what a joke.
Do you really think Free Republic had anything to do with spurring the FBI to action?
Michael Ledeen is suppose to be the one who forged those docs for Cheney. Which is an absolute pile of crapola.
It is also time to do an investigation regarding the CIA and Wilson Plame.
Oh come on now, really!
Where do you think the Fuds get all they're good leads...LOL
Well...the FBI recently closed the books on a 20 year old mob hit in Chicago. (Yawn).
Sh*t, I wouldn't trust him if my dinner depended on it ... or my next bowel movement
Those findings concerned some members of the Senate Intelligence Committee after published reports that the FBI had not interviewed a former Italian spy named Rocco Martino, who was identified as the original source of the documents. The committee had requested the initial investigation.
Freepers have known about little Rocco for months. And the FBI never even interviewed him? Useless. Utterly useless.
