Did Bush Commit Election Fraud?

Sen. Pete Domenici, (R-NM) called Iglesias as well. According to Iglesias, there was a clearly implied request for a pre midterm Democratic sacrifice at the altar of election injustice. Iglesias reports that when he refused on the grounds that he lacked evidence (one of those minor details that tends to annoy those in power), Domenici simply stayed on the phone … silent.

Iglesias was gone in a heartbeat for not cooperating with a prosecution that would influence the 2006 midterm elections in his state. But who made the decision? Fingers were pointed but nothing stuck until last week. The Albuquerque Journal reports that during talks with Sen. Domenici, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales refused to fire Iglesias unless the president gave the OK.

Well, Iglesias was fired wasn’t he? Gonzales denied culpability, inferring his DOJ subordinate Kyle Sampson made those decisions. Sampson fired that charge back at Gonzales. But the Albuquerque Journal article provides the missing piece. Gonzales wouldn’t move on Iglesias without a Bush sanction. How do these pieces fit together?

It’s simple. Wilson needed help. Both Wilson and Domenici called Iglesias. No deal Iglesias said. Then Domenici made the call to Gonzales who said, no way without a nod by from Bush. Iglesias was fired. Therefore, Bush is tagged for giving the order, Get rid of him. Gonzales passed the word and the deed was done.

That sequence of events points directly to Bush as the final decider. He’s told us “I’m the decider” in public. Gonzales said as much to Domenici, no way unless the boss says so.

The problem is not only political but legal. Pressuring a U.S. Attorney into a bogus indictment is a federal crime. Domenici lawyered up after Iglesias described his conversation with the senator. Gonzales and Sampson both denied initiating the call on the firing. So it’s Bush, and only Bush, as the author of a punishment delivered to a U.S. Attorney who failed to indict a citizen for purely political purposes.

Now that’s what you call a high crime. Actually, it’s called election fraud, which is defined as “corruption of the electoral process … (by) elected or election officials, candidates, party organizations, advocacy groups or campaign workers.” Here we have politicians actively planning improper and illegal acts to influence an election through a contrived prosecution. It’s not that complicated.

High Crimes

The New Mexico affair is critical to determining if and how election fraud was committed in the White House. We have a lot of people talking, some getting lawyers, and a critical conversation reported in the Albuquerque Journal, 15 April 2007:

In the spring of 2006, Domenici told Gonzales he wanted Iglesias out.


Gonzales refused. He told Domenici he would fire Iglesias only on orders from the president.

That’s the smoking gun. It’s the vital link to Bush committing election fraud. He’s a politician, the senior politician, corrupting the election process by replacing an honest prosecutor with someone who will cooperate the next time the Senator and the Congresswoman call with their requests that some prominent Democrat be indicted to give a hand to a campaign.

There is enough testimony, from a U.S. Attorney no less, to make a prima facie case that Bush committed election fraud. Ironically, the probable election fraud took place while the White House was promoting the Republican myth of voter fraud.

Let the impeachment process begin.

Bush involvement in firings exposed?

Proving political corruption by elected officials is not easy to do.  Subordinates usually end up taking a fall long before the actual perpetrators.

Collins seems to have connected the dots on this one and Congressional investigators should be following up on this apparent misuse of power by the President.

Thanks to the Albuquerque Journal's great coverage.

They had two anonymous sources, the required amount.  Bet those two are pissed off at somebody.  It would be a rich irony if it turned out to be the cleaning people, like Mr. Johnson, the watchman in Watergate.  Just real people doing a job, smart enough to spote a crook!  Waxman, Conyers, either of them would do a very good job on this.  It is time!

NOW can we impeach him?

 If it can be proved that he attained the office of the presidency by illegal means (and we know he did!) then, Madam Speaker, can it be put BACK on the table? Where it should have been all along? Thanks, Michael Collins, for continuing to expose this story in spite of their best efforts to thwart you. When we finally throw out the Republicans and their hackable voting machines, we may just have a country worth being proud of again.

SO WHAT

This is one more of a thousand things that have been exposed on this crime family and no charges are ever brought. The list is so long, it's in 5 parts! The powers that be can kill a pres. and commit a phony terrorist attack and get away with it, what makes you think they'll go down for this. This isn't 1973. The massive powers of the shear number of people in the streets, charging the Capitol is what it's gonna take....We have to take our country back ourselves!...I got a sneaky suspicion the military would side with us, they just need a push.

Taking a breath ...

... whew! OUT of the HOUSE!

things like this give me hope ... and scare the shit out of me because the child-king still has Lucifer's sword in his murderous claws.

This has to get out now! Great work. If one of the majors don't pick-up on this it will become the next great Internet Sea Change moment. Calling now to ask Waxman, Conyers, Pelosi the whole lot of them to call a hearing immediately! 

Not that this isn't the only documented instance of voter fraud, it is the one that has an easy one, two, three step of solid testimony straight to the top. I hope this one sticks.

We have to do this quick. The child-king is insane you know.
