Key witness in passport fraud case fatally shot
A key witness in a federal probe into passport information stolen from the State Department was fatally shot in front of a District church, the Metropolitan Police Department said yesterday.
Lt. Quarles Harris Jr., 24, who had been cooperating with a federal investigators, was found late Thursday night slumped dead inside a car, in front of the Judah House Praise Baptist Church in Northeast, said Cmdr. Michael Anzallo, head of the department's Criminal Investigations Division.
Cmdr. Anzallo said a police officer was patrolling the neighborhood when gunshots were heard, then Lt. Harris was found dead inside the vehicle, which investigators would describe only as a blue car.
Emergency medics pronounced him dead at the scene.
City police said they do not know whether his death was a direct result of his cooperation with federal investigators.
"We don't have any information right now that connects his murder to that case," Cmdr. Anzallo said.
Police say a "shot spotter" device helped an officer locate Lt. Harris.
...
The Washington Times reported April 5 that contractors for the State Department had improperly accessed passport information for presidential candidates Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton, Barack Obama and John McCain, which resulted in a series of firings that reached into the agency's top ranks.
One agency employee, who was not identified in documents filed in U.S. District Court, was implicated in a credit-card fraud scheme after Lt. Harris told federal authorities he obtained "passport information from a co-conspirator who works for the U.S. Department of State."

LEIUTENANT AKA LIEUTENANT AKA Foots. :)
the only 3 passports breached were Clinton, McCain and Obama. Out of those 3, obama is clearly the one with questionable origins/travels.
Obama’s passport was breached first. 1/9/08. I will attempt to excavate my 008 book marks with a source.
NOTE: The first name of the decedent in this case is reportedly spelled differently then the common term “Lieutenant” meant to designate a specific rank.

I kept reading this thread to learn in what organization he was a “Lt.” Thanks for answering my question.
What were his parents thinking?
You didn't. This story was deliberately sat on.
WOW
Barry Soetero and Stanley Dunham’s (RIP) passport information is a little bit safer form prying eyes
Barry’s supposed gay lover in Chicago was also shot near a church, wasn’t he?
Stanley Dunham’s passport records might also have been of interest
A little off topic but up lifting.

I see James Lewis lifted this from Michael Savage and pretended he came up with this on his own. I don’t care that he wrote about it. Just give credit where it is due.
It's the Chicago Way to promise retaliation if you don't cooperate. I wonder if that's what's going on here:

“It’s the Chicago Way to promise retaliation if you don’t cooperate. I wonder if that’s what’s going on here” LorenC under other sign-on names used that very tactic with Polarik. And when Ron wouldn’t shut up and get out of Obammy’s way, a squad was activated at FR to attack him personally and destroy his credibility. A fake exhibit was even produced and shoved at him for analysis. After calling hawaii and verifying an item on the exhibit, I am convinced the exhibit is not ebing presented accurately. But the game was to destroy Polarik, so a thread was posted and operatives jumped in to amplify the personal attack. It’s the Chicago way. Of ocurse, the exposure of the forgeries posted at Factcheck, KOS, and the pres_ _ent’s website are now being ignored. The truth is pushed aside regardign the criminal in the Oval Office as the Chicago mob attacks Polarik rather than answering his data which exposed a forgery.

WHo is going to keep tract of the deaths. This isn’t the first and it won’t be the last.
Look at the lady who called in the possible break in Cambridge. She was almost immediately demonized as a racist.
Obama and his goons are hiding something with the BC and hiding a lot more. Our opponents do not back down unless we stand up to them.
An example of a person who has not backed down is Sarah. We have gotten “bad press” because of her and using the arguement & logic of the anti-birthers (Coulter, Ingraham, Hewitt, Medved, OReilly, et al) - we should throw Sarah under the bus.
The left is going to demonize us no matter what.
I think Lieutenant was a non-government pawn who was expendable.
IMO, he was involved because he was a peddler on the street with the passport information and credit cards. I think he may have had something to do with the foreign money (”cash cards”) that may have come from overseas and stateside “donors” into Obama’s campaign in August and September.
Everyone else involved in/with the State Department break-in seems to be in government, or a contractor, and can be leveraged if they want to keep their careers, and/or family, safe.
IMO, the only break we can expect to get on this care is if INTERPOL, or if one of the players in the break-in, leak something that is picked up by an unsuspecting LEO or reporter who dares to proceed further on it.
Yep, these people are NOT our friends.
Do not try to appease them — it does nothing but encourage them to take further advantage of those who let them do so.
Extended Clinton administration with islamonazis thrown in for good measure. It’s a horror story that seems to have no end.
I saw coverage of it last year. The passports, the credit cards and the murder.
It was just a brief news blip, then it disappeared.
Interesting stuff...:0/
And even better. Why do you think it took weeks for Hillery Clinton to accept the post of Sec State as offered her by Obama?She held out for all the perks she could get because Obama needed her to bury this so that his personal data( COLB, travel records) would not surface. Any bets that the first thing she did when she entered the office was to send a team to bury this so far, that it would be as likely to see the light of day as the sphincter of a deep sea mollusk.
The fix went in.
