BREAKING: Word in Chicago: Patrick Fitzgerald heading RICO investigation of ACORN and BHO campaign

Posted on Thursday, October 09, 2008 1:40:53 AM by Anti-Hillary

Tonight we talked to someone who works in the federal courts here in Chicago.

The buzz in those corridors is that federal prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald has been leading a team of FBI investigators in 10 states working on a RICO case.

Today, it was announced that ACORN is being investigated in 10 states.

That’s one heck of a coincidence.

We asked why Fitzgerald would be involved in this, because he’s the prosecutor on the Tony Rezko case and we aren’t aware of ACORN being investigated in Illinois.

We were told that ACORN was investigated in Illinois years ago, and it was a Fitzgerald case then. This means ACORN’s activities today, involving a conspiracy to commit multi-state voter fraud on SoetorObama’s behalf, are an extension of that previous ACORN case.

Our source in federal courts said, “Any crime that involves more than two people and is carried out across state lines qualifies as a corrupt organization. The fact that those “Goodwill” donations were made in Texas and received at Obama headquarters in Chicago or Washington means it qualifies for RICO.”

The “Goodwill donations” referred to above are the $228 million in undocumented, unverified campaign contributions the Obama camp has received — which the McCain campaigned filed a complaint to the FEC on this past Monday.

We’ve also heard that the Clinton campaign filed complaints to the FBI and other federal agencies over Obama’s fraud in the Iowa, Texas and other caucuses: voter intimidation, registration fraud, and other illegal activities.

The last thing we were told tonight in regards to all of this was that “the memo here is a tying together of all these various threads. That’s what you will see in the last weeks of the campaign: all things being tied together”.

If everything rumored here is true, it looks like David Axelrod, Howard Dean, Donna Brazile, Obama himself, and possibly even Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid were all involved, together, in massive RICO violations, and thus federal fraud, if the DNC and party leadership knew what the Obama campaign and ACORN were up to and allowed it to proceed. Knowledge of federal crimes being committed makes all parties accessories to those crimes — and part of the conspiracy to defraud the public.

Hope, Change and Molotov Cocktails



While the media obsesses over a couple of isolated comments at McCain/Palin rallies, the angry left is busy throwing Molotov cocktails at McCain supporters.

Change is coming!

PORTLAND, Ore. - Authorities have arrested two men after a Molotov cocktail was thrown at a 4-foot by 8-foot campaign sign for Republican presidential candidate John McCain in a southeast Portland yard.

Karen Scrutton said she was asleep inside her home at 7956 S.E. 17th Ave. in the Sellwood neighborhood when she saw her sign go up in flames after 1 a.m.

"I screamed upstairs to my husband, 'Jean! Jean!" she said.

A neighbor heard a crash and chased off one of the suspects. Jean Scrutton said his son-in-law found another suspect not far away.

Not long after, investigators picked up Leslie Brockette Leudtke and Kevin Carl Robinson, both 23. After interviewing them, the pair was charged with four counts each of manufacturing and possession of a destructive device. In addition, Leudtke was charged with a single count of reckless burning.

Witnesses said the suspects threw a Molotov cocktail at the sign and used another as a torch.

The Scruttons worried that their home could have caught on fire.

"Our whole house could have burnt down," Karen Scrutton said while thanking her neighbor for intervening.

If this were the other way around, there's be 24/7 network coverage about how our democracy is endangered.

H/T pw.

Meanwhile, we have more troubling accounts of election violence.

...residents woke to find the brake lines on their cars severed, their telephone and cable television lines cut, and political graffiti scratched into automobile paint and scrawled on their homes.

Looks like thuggery has moved up north.

Lovely.

Update: Michelle Malkin has an exhaustive roundup of insane leftwing rage conveniently overlooked by the media, while attempting to portray McCain supporters as a bloodthirsty mob.

Thanks for the link!

Obama Campaign Implicated DIRECTLY in Election Fraud

Allegations are no longer confined to ACORN
by Bill Levinson

1. There is no place in the American electoral process for the types of voter suppression, intimidation and harassment systematically engaged in by the Obama campaign, its allies and supporters.
   Sincerely,
   Lyn Utrecht, Counsel, Hillary Clinton for President

It is said that, during the Nuremberg trials, Nazi war criminals used the following defenses: (1) “It didn’t happen,” (2) “I wasn’t there” and (3) “besides, I was only following orders.” Given the onslaught of indictments and guilty pleas of ACORN personnel for voter registration fraud, Barack Obama’s handlers and enablers cannot argue that it didn’t happen. Barack Obama’s “Fight the Smears” page says he never organized with ACORN (i.e. he claims he wasn’t there), which has been exposed as an outright falsehood. Now that his own campaign has been implicated directly with highly credible allegations of election fraud, he can’t even argue that he was just following orders.
We recommend that our readers do a Google search on “Lyn Utrecht” (Hillary Clinton’s campaign counsel) and “Obama.” The result will be a large number of Web pages with credible allegations of tactics such as intimidation of voters by threatening them with the loss of their jobs if they caucused for Hillary Clinton, preference cards that were pre-marked for Obama, shutting Clinton supporters out of caucusing locations, stuffing the ballot box with the votes of unregistered voters and children, and other conduct far better suited to a Third World dictator like Robert Mugabe, or a corrupt political figure like Boss Tweed, than to a United States Senator.
Here is an optical character recognition transcription of the Clinton campaign’s letter to the Nevada State Democratic Party. Here is the original, in .pdf format.

1. RYAN, PHILLIPS, UTRECHT 5. MACKINNON
   ATTORNEYS AT LAW
   ’ Nonlawyer Partner
   1133 Connecticut Avenue, N.W. Suite 300 Washington, D.C. 20036
   (202) 293-1177 Facsimile (202) 293-3411 January 23, 2008
   Jill Derby, Chair Nevada State Democratic Party 1210 South Valley View Road Suite 114 Las Vegas, NV 89102
   Dear Chair Derby:
   I write on behalf of Hillary Clinton for President (”the Committee”) in regard to the January 19, 2008 Nevada Democ-ratic Caucus. The Committee is aware of a letter addressed to you today from the Obama for America campaign requesting an inquiry into the conduct of the caucuses. The Committee shares the Obama campaign’s concern that full participation in the democratic process may have been compromised by the substantial number of irregularities occurring at the caucuses, and we fully support a complete inquiry by the Nevada State Democratic Party (the ”Party”) into all caucus improprieties.
   This letter is not intended as a response to the Obama campaign’s letter. However, in the interest of a complete record, and in contrast to the alleged minor procedural problems noted by the Obama campaign, the Committee wishes to bring to your attention information we have received evidencing a premeditated and predesigned plan by the Obama campaign to engage in systematic corruption of the Party’s caucus procedures. Compounding this blatant distortion of the caucus rules was an egregious effort by the Obama campaign to manipulate the voter registration process in its own favor, thereby disenfranchising countless voters. Finally, the Committee has received a vast number of reliable reports of voter suppression and intimidation by the Obama campaign or its allies.
   The Committee had 30 phone lines on Saturday to receive calls in its Las Vegas offices. These lines rang continuously from early morning until well after the caucuses concluded with reports from people who were victimized and who observed irregularities. The phone lines were so over-whelmed that many callers resorted to calling individual Committee staff cell phones to report that they could not get through. The Committee also received many similar calls at its national headquarters.
   The Committee is confident that any investigation into the conduct of the caucuses will be thorough, fair and in the interest of insuring that future Party caucuses will be as open and democratic as possible.
   Systematic Corruption of the Party’s Caucus Procedures
   The Committee received substantially similar reports of improprieties of such a number as to leave no conclusion but that the Obama campaign and its allies and supporters engaged in a planned effort to subvert the Party’s caucus procedures to its advantage. For example:
   þ Preference cards were premarked for Obama.
   þ Clinton supporters were denied preference cards on the basis that none were left, while Obama supporters at the same caucus sites were given preference cards.
   þ Caucus chairs obviously supporting Obama:
   o Deliberately miscounted votes to favor Senator Obama.
   o Deliberately counted unregistered persons as Obama votes.
   o Deliberately counted young children as Obama votes.
   o Refused to accept preference cards from Clinton supporters who were at the caucus site by noon on the ground that the cards were not filled out fast enough.
   o Told Clinton supporters to leave prior to electing delegates.
   þ Clinton supporters who arrived late were turned away from the caucus, while late Obama supporters were admitted to the caucus.
   Manipulation of the Voter Registration Process
   Numerous reports received by the Committee demonstrate a concerted effort on the part of the Obama campaign and its supporters to prevent eligible voters supporting a candidate other than Senator Obama from caucusing. The Obama supporters complained of were acting in positions of authority at the caucus sites. Some of these reports are as follows:
   þ Obama supporters wrongly informed Clinton supporters that they were not allowed to participate in the caucus if their names were not on the voter rolls. However, Obama supporters whose names did not appear on the voter rolls were permitted to register at the caucus site.
   þ Obama supporters falsely informed Clinton supporters that no registration forms were available for them to register to vote at the caucus site.
   þ Obama supporters wrongly told Clinton supporters who were attempting to caucus at the wrong precinct that they could not caucus at that site, while simultaneously permitting Obama supporters at the wrong precinct to participate.
   þ Obama supporters were allowed to move to the front of the registration and sign-in line.
   Voter Suppression and Intimidation
   The Committee received a substantial number of disturbing reports from voters that they had been subject to harassment, intimidation or efforts to prevent them from voting. Some of the most egregious of these complaints are described below:
   þ Voters at at-large caucus sites were informed that those sites were for Obama supporters only.
   þ Clinton supporters at at-large caucus sites were told that their managers would be watching them while they caucused.
   þ Workers were informed that their supervisors kept lists of Clinton and Obama supporters, and were told that they could not caucus unless their name was on the list of Obama supporters.
   þ Many Clinton supporters were threatened with employment termination or other discipline if they caucused for Senator Clinton.
   þ Workers were required to sign a pledge card to support Obama if they wanted time off to participate in the caucus.
   þ Workers at one casino were offered a lavish lunch and permitted to attend and register to vote only if they agree to support Obama.
   The complaints summarized above represent only a small sample of the complaints received by the Committee. With respect to each of these complaints and many more, the Committee has the names and phone numbers of those reporting these incidents and the specific precinct numbers where the incidents occurred. Upon request the Committee will share these with the Party with appropriate safeguards to protect these individuals from reprisal. On the whole, these reports show a troubling effort by the Obama campaign and its allies and supporters to advance their own campaign at the expense of the right of all Nevada Democrats to participate in the democratic process in a free, fair and open manner.
   Senator Clinton and the Committee are wholly committed to ensuring that every eligible voter has his or her vote cast and counted. There is no place in the American electoral process for the types of voter suppression, intimidation and harassment systematically engaged in by the Obama campaign, its allies and supporters.
   Sincerely,
   /v
   Lyn Utrecht Counsel Hillary Clinton for President

We agree. “There is no place in the American electoral process for the types of voter suppression, intimidation and harassment systematically engaged in by the Obama campaign, its allies and supporters,” and that means there should be no place in the American electoral process for Barack Obama.
To this may be added Governor Matt Blunt’s allegation of actual Brownshirt tactics by Barack Obama: the misuse of law enforcement to deprive people of their civil rights under color of law–and the wording of Governor Blunt’s statement offers us no other possible interpretation.

1. Gov. Blunt Statement on Obama Campaign’s Abusive Use of Missouri Law Enforcement
   JEFFERSON CITY - Gov. Matt Blunt today issued the following statement on news reports that have exposed plans by U.S. Senator Barack Obama to use Missouri law enforcement to threaten and intimidate his critics.
   “St. Louis County Circuit Attorney Bob McCulloch, St. Louis City Circuit Attorney Jennifer Joyce, Jefferson County Sheriff Glenn Boyer, and Obama and the leader of his Missouri campaign Senator Claire McCaskill have attached the stench of police state tactics to the Obama-Biden campaign.
   “What Senator Obama and his helpers are doing is scandalous beyond words, the party that claims to be the party of Thomas Jefferson is abusing the justice system and offices of public trust to silence political criticism with threats of prosecution and criminal punishment.
   “This abuse of the law for intimidation insults the most sacred principles and ideals of Jefferson. I can think of nothing more offensive to Jefferson’s thinking than using the power of the state to deprive Americans of their civil rights. The only conceivable purpose of Messrs. McCulloch, Obama and the others is to frighten people away from expressing themselves, to chill free and open debate, to suppress support and donations to conservative organizations targeted by this anti-civil rights, to strangle criticism of Mr. Obama, to suppress ads about his support of higher taxes, and to choke out criticism on television, radio, the Internet, blogs, e-mail and daily conversation about the election.
   
   “Barack Obama needs to grow up. Leftist blogs and others in the press constantly say false things about me and my family. Usually, we ignore false and scurrilous accusations because the purveyors have no credibility. When necessary, we refute them. Enlisting Missouri law enforcement to intimidate people and kill free debate is reminiscent of the Sedition Acts - not a free society.”

If a > conspiracy < can be proved, all of those involved should go to jail. Of course, widespread voter fraud is nothing new. Remember LBJ and Mayor Daley and lots of others of both parties ?

Ohio US Attorney To File RICO Charges Against ACORN?

Posted by: Curt @ 10:41 am in Politics
Visited 73 times, 73 so far today
Ace has the scoop. Apparently the US Attorney in Ohio will be filing Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) charges against ACORN in that state. He has no further information but this does come on the heels of this:

Nevada state authorities seized records and computers Tuesday from the Las Vegas office of an organization that tries to get low-income people registered to vote, after fielding complaints of voter fraud.
Bob Walsh, spokesman for the Nevada secretary of state’s office, told FOXNews.com the raid was prompted by ongoing complaints about “erroneous” registration information being submitted by the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, also called ACORN.

Awesome news, but just wait for the MSM to minimize it. I envision statements like “limited to only a few people inside the organization” type of reporting.
But we all know the real story.



No ties to Obama right?

In related news Bob Frantz, a radio host in Ohio, had an interview with Brian Clark, communications director for Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner, about Brunner going to court to avoid answering allegations of voter fraud. Six minutes long and towards the end Frantz confronts Clark with evidence of voter fraud…..Clark’s answer? He hangs up: (h/t Hot Air)

Video: Voters testify before Ohio elections board that ACORN registered them multiple times

posted at 2:35 pm on October 13, 2008 by Allahpundit
Send to a Friend | printer-friendly

The star witness: Freddie Johnson, whom Michelle wrote about on Friday. The Cleveland Plain Dealer picks up the story:

Cuyahoga board of elections members learned recently that many ACORN canvassers had quotas and often had to scramble to meet them. Board employees had flagged a number of registration cards handed in by ACORN that showed the same names, but with different addresses or birth dates.
After testifying, both men were led to a private office and were interviewed by Cuyahoga County sheriff’s deputies. The board decided during its meeting that it would turn over the ACORN investigation to the sheriff and county prosecutor’s office.
A sheriff’s deputy said neither Johnson nor Barkley have been charged with a crime, but could be used as witnesses later.

Coincidentally, Ace hears through the grapevine that ACORN could be looking at RICO charges in Ohio as early as tomorrow. A campaign coup for McCain to coincide with The One fine-tuning the language about ACORN on his anti-smears site?

Perhaps. But, says the boss, not as much as it might have been.

Stealing Elections
How Voter Fraud Threatens Our Democracy

See our FREE OFFER — Go Here Now

Will Obama and the Democrats steal the 2008 election using voter fraud?
John Fund, a Wall Street Journal columnist and Fox News analyst, warns of that very real possibility.
Butterfly ballots, balky machines, absentee ballot scandals, felons voting, Supreme Court intervention — all these made headlines during the infamous 2000 Florida recount.
Could it happen again in this year's presidential election?
The answer is yes, because not much has changed to improve our election systems, while both major parties are poised on a hair trigger to file lawsuits and challenge any close statewide vote. The issues may boil down to whether the margin of victory in any state exceeds the "margin of litigation."

John Fund offers a guided tour of our error-prone election systems, which nearly half of Americans say they don't trust. When some states have systems so flawed that you can't tell where incompetence ends and possible fraud begins, it isn't surprising that scandals have ranged from rural Texas to big cities such as Milwaukee and St. Louis. Fund dissects some anomalies of Florida 2000 and analyzes the bitterly protracted election for governor of Washington State in 2004.

He spotlights the perils of "provisional ballots," the flaws of the "Motor Voter" law that has allowed people to get absentee ballots for phantom voters, and the shady registration
drives of the radical group ACORN, a group with close ties to Barack Obama.
Meanwhile, the simple safeguard of a photo ID requirement is fiercely resisted on specious claims that it would disenfranchise poor and minority voters.
Stealing Elections presents a chilling portrait of electoral vulnerability, as a combination of bureaucratic bungling and ballot rigging put our democracy at risk.
This is a must read book for the 2008 elections!

Site Bars Black Box Voting Head
Joanna Glasner 12.06.04
Bev Harris, founder of Black Box Voting, has been banned from posting on Democratic Underground's political discussion boards. Democratic Underground, a political discussion site that has been a popular forum for debate on the reliability of computerized voting machines, has barred one of its most prominent and outspoken contributors on the topic from further posting.

In a written statement, site administrators said Friday that they barred Bev Harris, founder of Black Box Voting, because her postings on the site "have made positive discussion of verified voting increasingly difficult."

Democratic Underground said Harris' postings have been belligerent at times to other members of the forum and that she used the website to threaten its operators with lawsuits.

"We no longer believe that it is productive to allow her to use DU as a platform to promote herself while simultaneously trashing us, our moderators and others who have been previously supportive of her cause," site administrators wrote in the statement.

Harris, a Washington-based publicist, became a leading critic of electronic voting machines after she discovered source code for a voting machine made by Diebold Election Systems on the internet in 2002. When Harris put out a call on the Democratic Underground site last year for help to examine the code, members who had technical expertise found numerous security flaws in it. Computer scientists at Johns Hopkins and Rice Universities then released a public report about the flaws, spawning a nationwide movement to demand more-secure voting systems.

She said she did not threaten to sue Democratic Underground but did complain that some participants in the forums were improperly using the phrase "Clean up Crew," which she said is a trademarked phrase of her Black Box Voting organization.

"They're calling me a con man," she said, referring to some postings on the site. "If I try to defend myself, I get warnings they'll ban me."

Democratic Underground members have long been supporters of Harris's work. But for every ardent admirer she has attracted on the DU site and elsewhere, she has also garnered many critics, some of whom dismiss her allegations of voting fraud as the rantings of a conspiracy nut. Other critics condemn her for a confrontational and aggressive style that has been directed as often at computer scientists, journalists and other voting activists as it has been at voting-machine makers and election officials.

Democratic Underground administrators said their decision to bar Harris from the site has nothing to do with her work investigating electronic voting.

"Internet discussion forums are by nature a chaotic and unforgiving medium of communication, and on moderated boards like ours people are frequently barred from posting for a variety of reasons," said David Allen, one of the administrators of Democratic Underground, in an e-mail. "The fact that Democratic Underground and Bev Harris have parted ways should not cast doubt on the integrity of her overall research into voting irregularities."

Harris' expulsion from Democratic Underground follows a disagreement she recently had with producers of MSNBC's show Countdown with Keith Olbermann, which, until now, has been supportive of Harris' work.

Last week Olbermann criticized Harris for not publicly releasing film footage said to reveal questionable vote-tabulating practices in Volusia County, Florida. The footage, which was filmed by a documentary crew that has been following Harris for a year, is said to show paper voting records from a bag of garbage that Harris obtained after scuffling with Volusia County election officials outside their offices. Harris has implied on her website and in other public statements that the records indicate actions that "are consistent with fraud."

Olbermann originally wrote that Harris should release the footage to back her claims and said that when his staff spoke with her after his initial blog entry about it, she was "belligerent, threatening and demanding" with them. Some members of Democratic Underground have speculated that Harris wants to hold onto the footage so the filmmakers can release it in their documentary and make a bigger publicity splash.

But Harris said she did not receive calls from the television program asking for the footage and is not able to release it to the TV station because it is being used in a lawsuit against the county. She also said the charge that she threatened Olbermann's staff is untrue.

But some members of Democratic Underground have noted that Olbermann's description of Harris' behavior is consistent with their experiences with her. And others have questioned whether she is the best public representative for the voting activist movement.

"No one denies she's done great work," wrote one forum member who goes by the name AmyCrat. "It's her PR skills that are potentially hurting the whole effort (and her own efforts). Good intentions aren't an excuse for unprofessional behavior."
