OpEdNews - Page 2 of Article: Sibel Edmonds Deposition: Deep Corruption Beneath the Surface

Drawn to the event by Krikorian's campaign-related battles with Schmidt and Edmonds' reports of Turkish efforts to prevent U.S. acknowledgement of Turkey's genocide of Armenians, but also interested in the extent of corruption were Horizon Armenian TV, The Armenian Reporter and Armenian Public TV.

In response to my (and Brad Friedman's) questions (video, 16:10) about when the entire video and transcript of the deposition would be made public, David Krikorian said his first priority was defending himself against Schmidt's lawsuit, and that he needed to confer with his legal and political teams about the timing. He also stated, "I think that the information that was provided in this testimony is something that every American Citizen should be aware of". What I heard in that deposition room is fairly troubling information". I don't see any reason to not make it public."

As David Krikorian said, quoted by Brad Friedman:

"From my opinion, if I'm some of the current members of Congress, I'd be very very worried about the information that's going to come out of this. There are current members of Congress that she has implicated in bribery, espionage. It's not good. It's crazy, it's absolutely crazy. For people in power situations in the United States, who know about this information, if they don't take action against it, in my opinion, it's negligence."

Regardless of whether the Obama Administration or the Democrat-controlled Congress want to investigate evidence of treason by Democrats and Republicans, and regardless of whether the corporate "news" media are inclined to report on any of this, public opinion and action organized through word of mouth and the web have the power to compel public servants to follow the law, as well as turn this into a story the corporate media can't ignore.
