Then there's the other likely candidate for congressional hearings I identified, Saundra M. Callier, an office manager at Office of Legislative Affairs (OLA) Dept of Justice. A lower paygrade worker, she is more likely to talk. Since she he's lower level and more likely to have seen enough, yet not been involved in actual criminal decision-making, she is less likely to be at risk of having committed crimes.
If you're wondering about frequent use of claiming the fifth, or leaving the country to avoid testifying, here's an interesting quote cited on dailykos: In a round of testimony by FBI Director Louis Freeh before Congress, Rep. Dan Burton asked:
"Mr. Freeh, over 65 people have invoked the 5th Amendment or fled the country in the course of the Committee's investigation. Have you ever experienced so many unavailable witnesses in any matter in which you've prosecuted or in which you've been involved?"
Freeh responded: "Actually, I have."
Burton asked: "You have? Give me, give me a rundown on that real quickly."
Freeh: "I spent about 16 years doing organized crime cases in New York City..."
Organized crime. It rolls off the tongue rather nicely. Let's try it again. ORGANIZED CRIME. Perhaps the RICO act is in order.
The clock is ticking, counting down.Next Page 1 | 2
