I never give time frames, because you never know where you'll have sufficient evidence to go public with a prosecution, " Mueller said.

The former leader of Your Black Muslim Bakery was convicted today of three counts of first-degree murder for ordering the slayings of Oakland newspaper editor Chauncey Bailey and two other men, capping a high-profile trial that was closely watched by journalists and First Amendment advocates. A second defendant, former bakery associate Antoine Mackey, 25, was convicted of two counts of first-degree murder for the 2007 killings of Bailey and Michael Wills, 36. The jury split on a third count involving the 2007 slaying of Odell Roberson Jr. 31, , and Judge Thomas Reardon declared a mistrial. Both Bey and Mackey...

What have we learned recently from a couple of embarrassing disclosures recently involving elected officials? Put down the BlackBerry. Move gently away from the keyboard. At least, for heaven’s sake, think before you hit “send.” Former Rep. Chris Lee learned this when a woman decided to forward to a gossip website messages and a shirtless photo the married former congressman had sent. The motivations of the woman, who cowardly remained anonymous until the Washington Post outed her, were overshadowed by the impact on the congressman, who quickly resigned. And now we have Sarah Palin, the subject of a gossipy tell-all...

The story of the leaked manuscript of former Palin aide Frank Bailey is getting a lot of traction as the mainstream media finds ways to maximize and defend the indefensible. Andy Barr and Ben Smith from Politico have taken it upon themselves (obviously without legal council) to run a story repeating distorted claims by a troubled ex-employee, with the goal of smearing Governor Palin in mind. Barr and Smith ponder why it is that no publisher has signed on to print Bailey's manuscript, which he has been trying to sell for almost 18 months. On top of the legal ramifications,...

OAKLAND — A judge on Friday shot down Yusuf Bey IV's attempt to dismiss kidnapping and torture charges against him, quickly ruling that there remains "incredibly damaging" evidence. Bey IV's lawyer Anne Beles, argued that her client's rights were violated in April when another judge refused to allow a witness to testify at a preliminary hearing after which Bey IV was ordered to stand trial in the case. That decision was the second time a judge ruled there was enough evidence to proceed with the case against the 23-year-old former CEO of the defunct Your Black Muslim Bakery. An earlier...

Article I Section 8, Federalist No. 45, and the Tenth Amendment - the usurpation of power by Congress It is difficult to understand how our national leaders can pass many of the laws they do given they have no authority to do so. It is also difficult to understand how everything seems to have been turned upside down -- what use to mean one thing now means the opposite. Well, here are the facts regarding the intent of the Constitution and how politicians attempt to convince us they are operating within its confines. US Constitution Article I - The Legislative...

OAKLAND — More than a year and a half after Oakland Post Editor Chauncey Bailey was gunned down while walking to work, an Alameda County grand jury indicted the leader of the now-defunct Your Black Muslim Bakery on Wednesday on charges that he ordered the journalist killed.

OAKLAND — Police internal affairs detectives investigating the handling of journalist Chauncey Bailey's slaying will have state investigators present when they interview members of their department's command staff. Investigators from the attorney general's office will be there to monitor the interviews, according to a letter the Department of Justice sent to Mayor Ron Dellums in November. But the Justice Department won't take over the whole investigation — which is apparently what Oakland internal affairs investigators wanted, the letter stated. "We do not believe, as has been suggested by the Police Department's Internal Affairs investigator, that the Police Department investigation be...

The leader of Your Black Muslim Bakery expressed satisfaction on the morning Chauncey Bailey was killed, saying the journalist got what he deserved for taking on the troubled organization in his reporting, a bakery member told Oakland police in a recently discovered account given the day after the slaying. Bakery leader Yusuf Bey IV summoned the woman to watch a TV news story about three hours after Bailey, 57, was gunned down on his way to work on Aug. 2, 2007, she told homicide investigators. As they watched the report on the Oakland Post editor's slaying, Bey told her, "That...

Armed robbers terrorized Oakland restaurants and small businesses in three separate crime sprees over the past year. The first wave targeted Asian eateries and struck during the 2007 holiday season. The second arrived last spring and was more indiscriminate. The third struck in July and August. All three made newspaper headlines and led television newscasts, shining a spotlight on the city's out-of-control crime problem and the Oakland Police Department's apparent inability to cope with it. In fact, the department's public response to the takeover robberies was both odd and illuminating. The department's mantra for dealing with the city's crime spike...

OAKLAND — Former employees and supporters of the defunct Your Black Muslim Bakery have scheduled a rally for Aug. 2 — the one-year anniversary of journalist Chauncey Bailey's killing — to call for an investigation into the business's demise. "This is the anniversary of the closing of the bakery and the event is about getting to the truth, getting to justice and making sure that whoever is guilty of any crime be brought before the bar of justice, because right now the truth is not being told," said rally organizer Henry Clark. The date was chosen to commemorate "police attacking...

Your Black Muslim Bakery leader Yusuf Bey IV kept the gun used to kill journalist Chauncey Bailey in his closet after the attack and bragged of playing "hella dumb" when investigators asked him about the shooting, according to a secretly recorded police video.He describes Bailey's shooting in detail on the video, then, laughing, he denies he was there, and boasts that his friendship with the case's lead detective protected him from charges.Bey IV has not been arrested in Bailey's Aug. 2 death; Devaughndre Broussard, a then-19-year-old bakery handyman, has been charged in the killing. In an interview last week at...

The “Teflon Terrorist” And Risk Of Infiltration Ron Kessler in his new book The Terrorist Watch quotes FBI Director Robert Mueller on the subject of WMD and the risk of infiltration: “Al Qaeda is tremendously patient and thinks nothing about taking years to infiltrate persons in and finding the right personnel and opportunity to undertake an attack. And we cannot become complacent, because you look around the world, and whether it’s London or Madrid or Bali or recently Casablanca or Algiers, attacks are taking place.” In November 2007, FBI Director Mueller gave a speech in which he warned against the...

DETROIT (AP) - Officials say a U.S. immigration official linked to $640,000 in bribery and theft accusations took money and gifts in exchange for freeing numerous illegal immigrants. A spokeswoman for Detroit's U.S. attorney says that one alien freed by the official went on to murder a Wayne State University graduate student from Jordan.

A high-ranking official with the Detroit office of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (“ICE”), formerly known as the Immigration and Naturalization Service, and four other metro-Detroit men were indicted by a federal Grand Jury with multiple counts of bribery, conspiracy and extortion, United States Attorney Stephen J. Murphy announced today. U.S. Attorney Murphy was joined in the announcement by Thomas M. Frost, Special Agent in Charge of the Chicago, Illinois office of the Department of Homeland Security - Office of Inspector General, and Andrew G. Arena, Special Agent in Charge of the Detroit, Michigan, office of the Federal...

OAKLAND — Police investigating the execution-style killing of a journalist raided a bakery run by a Black Muslim splinter group Friday and seized weapons they said linked the group to the crime. Just before dawn, scores of officers in riot gear descended from heavily armed vehicles and stormed Your Black Muslim Bakery and three nearby residences. Seven people were arrested and numerous weapons were seized in the military-style operation. The brazen slaying Thursday of Oakland Post Editor Chauncey Bailey has shocked Bay Area residents as well as journalists nationwide. At a news conference Friday, police sketched a few details of...

OAKLAND, Calif. (KCBS) -- Oakland police confirmed Friday that the assassination of journalist Chauncey Bailey was carried out by members of the Your Black Muslim Bakery. "Firearm evidence" found in pre-dawn raids conducted at the bakery and three other locations in the city is connected to Bailey's murder and several other violent crimes, said Assistant Police Chief Howard Jordan. The owner of the bakery, Yusef Bey IV, and six other employees were arrested on suspicion of murder, robbery and kidnapping, he said. Two others tied to the bakery remain at large. Homicide detective Ersie Joyner said the execution of high...

Earlier today, I mentioned the theory of Little Concrete Piranhas that Muslims from Your Black Muslim Bakery murdered classy investigative journalist Chauncey Bailey. Well, deputize those bloggers at LCP, because their hunch, posted yesterday right after news of Bailey's murder, has proven correct. Muslims Murdered Bailey in cold blood. And it appears to have been pre-meditated, too. Reader Kevin sends this report from San Francisco's KTVU--oh, and by the way, note that these holier-than-thou, "pious" Muslims flock like moths to a flame to strip clubs: Muslims Executed Chauncey Bailey . . .

About 5,000 motorcyclists rode in a caravan in honor of the 16-year-old girl who was shot at her high school by a gunman who held her hostage. The motorcyclists, including Park County Sheriff Fred Wegener, rode 40 miles to Platte Canyon High School from Columbine High School, the scene of the nation's worst school shooting in 1999. It was Wegener who made the call for SWAT officers to invade a classroom where authorities said Duane Morrison, 53, took Emily Keyes and other girls hostage and molested them on Sept. 27. Morrison shot Emily in the head after SWAT officers stormed...

Platte Canyon High School in Bailey was evacuated early Wednesday afternoon because of a hostage situation with a gunman, Park County emergency dispatchers said. Dispatchers said there was at least one hostage. The adjoining middle school was also evacuated. Jan Howard, a secretary to the superintendent of Park County Schools, said the students were being taken to a safe location and only sheriff's deputies and fire officials were being allowed into the schools. Authorities said U.S. Highway 285 was closed in Bailey because of the situation. Jefferson County authorities said deputies, including the SWAT team and bomb squad, from their...

The Way It Isa letter from the President of Vets for the Truth Like so many veterans who have served their country honorably, I find it hard to accept the words and actions of many of my countrymen — politicians, professors, protestors from the 1960s — who miss no opportunity to condemn their country and those who fight to defend it. I am angry at them all, those scum of the earth who abuse the freedom that our veterans have bought at the price of their own lives and blood.  I especially despise the George Soros/Michael Moore/Howard Dean crowd...

 LA Times article:"Swift Boat" Veterans Set Sights on Rep. Murtha Is Vets For The Truth the same group as the Swift Boat Veterans? No. But that didn't stop an article in Sunday's Los Angeles Times from trumpeting the erroneous headline: "'Swift Boat' Veterans Set Sights on Rep. Murtha." [EXCERPTS:]Two years after a cadre of veterans helped sink the presidential campaign of Sen. John F.

Bailey's Briefing of the Dayby CAPT Larry BaileyPresident, Vets For The TruthAugust 9, 2006 Ladies and Gentlemen,Your fearless leader has just returned from six days in southwestern Pennsylvania, and I have to tell you that I am mightily encouraged by what I saw and experienced.  To say that there’s an undercurrent of anti-Murtha sentiment in his district is to grossly understate the case—there’s a veritable RIPTIDE of disgust at what the man has become and what he has done, and we’re going to ride that tide until he is well and truly redeployed! I arrived in Pittsburgh on Aug....

BootMurtha launches PA District 12 Vets Mailing Goal Retired Captain Larry Bailey and his newly formed group Veterans For The Truth (VFTT) have launched a "Boot Murtha Project" to redeploy Rep. John Murtha (D-PA). The first salvo in their campaign is to reach approximately 18,000 veterans in Murtha's 12th District of Pennsylvania. That's a lot of veterans!

Last night a Victory Dinner was held to honor the men of Vietnam Vets for The Truth, the men who held the KERRY LIED rally that many Freepers attended. I was the videographer for the event, and was honored to be aqsked to do so by Jeff Epstein from Vietnam Vets for The Truth.

The fall of Saigon in 1975 ended the Vietnam War, at least in theory. But it didn't end Vietnam Veterans Against the War, the group that made John Kerry famous. Barry Romo joined VVAW in 1971 after a tour in Vietnam as an infantry lieutenant, and he has been a leader most every year since. With his shaved head, black goatee and left forearm tattooed with VVAW's logo -- an upturned rifle with a helmet on the rifle's butt -- Mr. Romo can be a forbidding figure. But the onetime Maoist, now 57 years old, is more archivist than ideologue.......

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Supreme Court on Monday banned F. Lee Bailey from practicing law before the justices, a formality for the attorney who has already been disbarred in two states. Bailey, who defended O.J. Simpson and other high-profile clients, was accused of mishandling stock owned by a drug defendant. The Supreme Court refused in May to review a Florida Supreme Court decision that barred Bailey from practicing law in that state. Bailey also lost his law license in Massachusetts after a review of the Florida decision. AP-ES-06-24-02 1141EDT

DENVER (Reuters) - A former deputy U.S. marshal pleaded guilty to perjury on Friday for lying about his post-trial affair with an alternate juror in the Oklahoma City bombing case. Benny Bailey was charged in February with having lied under oath when he told a federal judge in December 1998 that he did not have an intimate relationship with the woman. Bailey, now retired, was one of the deputy marshals who escorted jurors during the 1997 trial in Denver that found Timothy McVeigh guilty of the federal building bombing that killed 168 people. McVeigh was executed last year. Allegations about...
