Russians:
Reagan the Criminal
Key October Surprise Evidence Hidden
From Consortiumnews.com
Excerpt:
A Russian government report, which corroborated
allegations that Reagan’s campaign interfered with Carter’s Iran-hostage
negotiations in 1980, was apparently kept from
Lee Hamilton, the Democratic back-stabbing Kissyface of the late eighties.
Lee Hamilton, then a congressman from Indiana
in charge of the task force, told me in a recent interview, “I don’t recall
seeing it,”
although he was the one who had requested Moscow’s
cooperation in the first place and the extraordinary Russian report was
addressed to him.
The Russian report, which was dropped off at the
U.S. Embassy in Moscow on Jan. 11, 1993, contradicted the task force’s
findings
– which were released two days later – of “no
credible evidence” showing that Republicans contacted Iranian intermediaries
behind
Carter’s back regarding 52 American hostages
held by Iran’s Islamic revolutionary government, the so-called October
Surprise case.
I was surprised by Hamilton’s unfamiliarity with
the Russian report, so I e-mailed him a PDF copy. I then contacted the
task force’s former
chief counsel, attorney Lawrence Barcella, who
acknowledged in an e-mail that he doesn’t “recall whether I showed [Hamilton]
the Russian report or not.”
In other words, the Russian report – possibly
representing Moscow’s first post-Cold War collaboration with the United
States on
an intelligence mystery – was not only kept from
the American public but apparently from the chairman of the task force
responsible for the investigation.
This is example # 478 of how the Democrats refuse
the list the facts.
Reagan obtained power illegally and the Democrats
refuse to talk about it.
The American hostages were a big problem for the
Iranians - they wanted to let them go.
But the Bush bastards said,
"No, keep the hostages till we get in the White House and we'll fix you
up
with a shitload of deadly weapons from the
future" and the radical, murdering terrorists
liked that.
That was OK with our limp Democrats - but when a rumor surfaced that
Clinton might have a girlfriend,
the GOP moved mountains to find a way to make THAT a really BIG story
and the Democrats allowed that.
Our crooked Supreme Court ruled that it was OK for GOP-financed trailer
tramps with NO PROOF
to sue a sitting president while in office because there was no
other way to impeach Clinton.
It's the same way every time. Bush lied to get 5,000 soliders killed?
That's no big deal - did you hear Clinton was caught talking to a blonde
in New York?
The super-rich own the media and they can steal more with super-rich
Rethug in charge.
So they fabricate crap against the Democrats and overlook the REAL
crimes of the GOP
Reminder: Bush & Cheney were both from Texas. It was illegal
for them to run together on a ticket,
but the "Thank you, Sir. May I have another?"
Democrats welcomed that ass-kicking.
