FBI agents attempt to murder witness against a FBI agent

FBI informant allegedly attacked

       
                                                               

She's credited with cracking case of agent accused of working for mob

WABC Eyewitness News' N.J. Burkett

- Police are looking into an alleged attack on a witness in the case against Lindley Devecchio. The former FBI agent is accused of supplying information to a mobster, information that lead to several murders.

                                                Eyewitness News reporter N.J. Burkett is live outside Lutheran Hospital in Brooklyn with more.

Our sources tell us that she was found unconscious in a supermarket parking lot early this morning. She is now at Lutheran Hospital in Sunset Park, Brooklyn. We're told she's conscious and in stable condition.

She is an informant credited with cracking the case against an FBI agent accused of working for the mob. The agent is Lindley Devecchio, one of the FBI's top mob-busters, now under indictment for murder.

Investigators say he tipped off the Colombo crime family, allowing them to rub out four rival gangsters in the 1990s. Today prosecutors and detectives rushed to Lutheran Hospital after learning their key informant in the case was in the emergency room.

Angela Clemente later told them she was nearly strangled by an unidentified man in a shopping center in Bensonhurst.

Investigators said that Devecchio's indictment back in March was a direct result of Ms. Clemente's successful efforts to get prosecutors to reopen the murder case. At the time his attorney's denied the allegations.

Angela Clemente has complained to authorities that she has been threatened and harassed in the past. This would appear to be the first incident of violence directed against her.

She is recovering in a hospital room under NYPD guard tonight. There is no word so far on a possible suspect in this case.

                                                June 17, 2006 -- The gutsy single mom who helped prosecutors crack the case against accused FBI mob mole Lindley DeVecchio was found choked and left for dead early yesterday in a remote section of Brooklyn.

Cops, responding to a 911 call at 5:45 a.m., found Angela Clemente in the driver's seat of her car - its door open, her body sprawled half in and half out, near the Caesar's Bay strip mall in Bensonhurst.

Clemente, 40, was battered and bruised, but alive - and able to tell investigators about her morning cloak-and-dagger rendezvous with a professed informant that ended with the near-fatal attack.

Based on what she said, investigators believe Clemente - a forensic-intelligence analyst volunteering her services to prosecutors - was set up by the would-be tipster, who lured her to the meeting with promises of information about two Long Island murders she believed were linked to the recently indicted DeVecchio and his underworld canary, the late mob boss Gregory Scarpa.

DeVecchio faces trial for allegedly helping Scarpa ice his rivals.

Sources said Clemente was convinced that three mobsters convicted of the murders in 1994 had been framed by the G-man and the Mafia capo, and she was trying to unearth evidence against two young Colombo associates she suspected had pulled off the hits.

From her bed at Lutheran Hospital in Brooklyn, where she suffered a seizure yesterday while being treated for neck and body injuries, a groggy Clemente told investigators she had received several messages from her assailant before agreeing to the early-morning meeting.


She said she dropped off her 8-year-old son, Santos, with her teenage daughter in New Jersey at midnight. She told her daughter she was going to meet someone on a case and drove to Brooklyn.

Clemente's daughter told investigators her mom did not think the meeting was dangerous "because the guy had something to do with law enforcement."

Clemente made contact with her anonymous tipster at 82nd Street and 13th Avenue in Bensonhurst, and they agreed to drive their cars nearby to the southern end of Bay Parkway, at Gravesend Bay.

There, her bearded would-be informant got into her black Hyundai and started talking about the case. She told investigators he pretended he had information.

And then, Clemente said, he asked her, "Are you going to continue on this case?"

"Yes," she answered.

With that, she told cops, he whacked her on the right side of her body with something hard, and then put his hands around her neck and started choking her. Apparently convinced he had killed her, he took off.

At 5:45 a.m. Clemente was spotted lying halfway out of her car door by a passing dog-walker and a jogger.

She was taken by ambulance to Lutheran Hospital, where a huge bruise was found on her right side, and choke marks were found on her neck. There were also injuries to her head and lips.

She didn't know the name of her assailant, but she did provide cops with a description. She remained in the hospital, under police guard.

Prosecutors revealed the investigator made a phone call to a journalist about midnight, informing the reporter about the meeting.

"If I'm not back by 6 a.m., call [the Brooklyn prosecutors]," the reporter claimed Clemente said. The journalist called the DA's Office at 7 a.m. Prosecutors made calls and learned of the attack.

Police canvassed businesses along both 13th Avenue and Bay Parkway in hopes of coming up with surveillance video.

"We believe it's tied to the Nassau case," a law-enforcement source said of the attack.

Stephen Dresch, a forensic-intelligence analyst who has worked with Clemente on the DeVecchio case, said he cautioned her to meet tipsters only in public places.

He said she was usually cautious, "but it was not completely out of character" for her to meet someone alone in a desolate or dangerous situation.

"She had a number of meetings recently with people who had contacted her either anonymously or in confidence" about the Nassau case, Dresch said.

Those meetings "were helpful, she was happy," he said.

Assistant Brooklyn DA Michael Vecchione, the prosecutor who credited Clemente with helping him get a murder indictment against DeVecchio, believes the attack is linked to the former G-man.

"Let's put it this way, it's not unrelated," he said.

Vecchione also would not discount the possibility that the murder attempt was the work of DeVecchio sympathizers, some of whom are former FBI agents.

Earlier this month, Vecchione complained in court that some witnesses had been harassed by DeVecchio's FBI buddies.

Clemente, a 5-foot-4 divorced mother of three, spent 20 years testing blood and doing autopsies before becoming one of the country's top forensic-ntelligence analysts.

Expose: Louie Freeh Kept Senator Al Out Of Jail In the '90s

That f**k, Louie Freeh, should be in prison instead of working for MBNA. The little prick ranks right up there as one of the most corrupt FBI directors to date. Freeh got his rocks off "investigating" the president of the United States on behalf of his right wing buddies while, at the same time, he prevented anyone in the FBI from investigating Senator Alphonse D'Amato's silent partnership with a Long Island contractor.

After Anthony "Fat Tony" Moscatiello was arrested for the murder of Gus Boulis in Miami, the press reported that Moscatiello had been an FBI informant for years. Moscatiello is a member of the Gambino family and was close to John Gotti. He knew Senator Al was in business with a crooked contractor. Everyone in the Gambino family knew.

A couple of months ago, I had an interesting conversation with someone who was at meetings held by John Gotti. He is not in the mafia but a close relative of his is a member. He told me that Senator Al was a silent partner in one of Carl Lizza's businesses. Lizza owns Lizza Industries, a construction company, and is big in NY horse racing. Senator Al would give Lizza the inside dope on the federal construction budget long before the information became public.

Lizza made big money in the $2 billion Southwest Sewer District scandal in Suffolk County, Long Island, circa 1980. Charlie Gargano, Bush pioneer and Pataki's henchman, established his credentials as a corrupt contractor in the sewer scandal. Lizza, Gargano along with Mario Posillico and the rest of the sewer sludge financed D'Amato's first senate campaign in 1980.

In the late '80s, the Long Island office of the FBI conducted some first-rate mafia investigations. One of the FBI's biggest and most famous catches was Tony "Ducks" Corallo, head of the Luchese family. Corallo was convicted, handed a stiff sentence and died in prison in 2000. Corallo's right hand man, Neil Migliore, was convicted on racketeering charges but appealed his case and only spent a few years in prison.

In the '90s, the FBI on Long Island lost interest in pursuing the mob cases and claimed that the Luchese family was inactive. On the other hand, Jerry Capice of Gangland News reported that Neil Migliore was running at top speed.

The FBI's loss of interest concided with Charlie Gargano's rise in NYS politics in the mid-90s. Gargano has been on a first-name basis with Migliore since the '70s, something that Freeh would have known. Now, Gargano's nephew, Frank, even maintains an office in the same building with the FBI and the Secret Service.

Meanwhile, the NYC office of the FBI was relentlessly investigating John Gotti and Anthony Moscatiello was informing on him and everyone else. Moscatiello must have told the FBI about Senator Al and Lizza. That would have been a hot item and I'm sure Fat Tony wasn't the only one talking either.

Senator Al was delighting his fellow Republicans in Washington with his never-ending investigation of the Clintons. Appointing Senator Al, one of the most crooked senators in US history, to lead an investigation of President Clinton, was the most crude and ugly attack on a sitting president ever launched. Senator Al's charge was to humiliate a sitting president in front of the world to the best of his ability and he put his heart and soul into the task at hand. Thank God, New Yorkers finally got sick of listening to his shit and threw him out of office.

If Senator Al had conducted a real investigation of the Clintons, it would have been over in less than six months. Based on his own vast experience, Senator Al knew which rocks to look under and if he couldn't find any wrongdoing, there wasn't any.

Louie Freeh's assignment was to turn up the heat on the president and block any attempt to look into Senator Al's ties to Carl Lizza and his other unsavory mob-connected associates. It was fairly well-known in certain NY circles that Senator Al was picking up cash at Nastasi-White, another mobbed-up NY contractor. Someone I know personally observed Senator Al on several occasions at the Nastasi office.

Among his many shady undertakings, Senator Al traded stock through Stratton Oakmont, a very crooked brokerage house on Long Island which was the target of a big investigation and shut down. The Stratton Oak principals were convicted but nothing stuck to Senator Al. Nothing ever did.

I don't know how many people remember just how insane the Republicans were in the '90s. Al D'Amato, who made a bundle from inside trading with Stratton Oakmont, investigated Hillary Clinton's big score in the commodities market. The Washington DC millionaire pundits never noticed just how f**ked up that scenario was or how it looked to the rest of us. Can you spell c-o-r-r-u-p-t?

I didn't know much about Louie Freeh's political leanings in the '90s but I wondered why Senator Al never got bagged. I mean, it was so damned obvious to everyone on Long Island that he was a crook. Now I know. That f**k, Louie Freeh sabotaged any and all attempts to nail Senator Al. Clinton must have been tipped off to Freeh. Why he didn't kick Freeh's sorry ass out the door is a mystery to me.

Of course, my story hinges on whether my source of information is reliable. The FBI could vouch for him. The FBI once followed him for two months after picking up his conversation when they were bugging a gambling house in the mid-90s. The FBI's concern turned out to be a misunderstanding and the matter was dropped.

That f**k, Louie Freeh, also covered up the Robert Hanssen case for the Republicans for ten years but that's another post.

CON TOLD G-MOM OF 'FBI THREAT' BEFORE MYSTERY ASSAULT

June 19, 2006 -- The gutsy G-mom who was nearly choked to death on Friday got a chilling warning before the attack that FBI agents might be targeting her for probing allegedly rogue investigator Lindley DeVecchio.

"This is heavy stuff, a supervisory FBI agent being charged with murder. I say that because I worry for our friend," wrote Gregory Scarpa Jr. from his Colorado prison cell in a letter dated May 28.

Scarpa Jr. was referring to criminal investigator Angela Clemente, who was brutally beaten and left for dead during an early-morning meeting with a phony tipster.

Scarpa Jr. is serving a 40-year racketeering sentence in a federal prison in Florence, Colo. He is the son of Colombo boss Gregory "The Grim Reaper" Scarpa, whom prosecutors believe FBI agent DeVecchio aided when he committed several mob hits.

The letter was written to Sandra Harmon, who's writing a book with Scarpa Jr. called "Buried Alive." Harmon said she passed the warning on to Clemente and prosecutors - but was more worried for Scarpa Jr.'s safety than Clemente's.

"I don't put anything past these people, 'FBI,' and believe me I can easily be hurt physically," Scarpa Jr. wrote.

In the letter, Scarpa Jr. details how he heard prison officials, whom he believes have FBI links, talking about Clemente and how her investigation of DeVecchio is a scam.

"It's hard [for] us to believe that him overhearing officers talking about Angela would translate into someone strangling her," Harmon said.

Clemente said yesterday she was aware of Scarpa Jr.'s warning. "I'm not sure what to make of it, but it's very troubling," Clemente said, adding she was feeling better as she recuperated in a hidden location.

Ex-agent testifies about Bulger-Flemmi pipeline to FBI

Says gangster addressed leaks

A retired FBI agent testified yesterday that a local gangster who implicated longtime FBI informants James ``Whitey" Bulger and Stephen ``The Rifleman" Flemmi in the 1981 murder of a Tulsa businessman had also warned that the pair had a pipeline into the FBI's Boston office.

But the agent, Gerald T. Montanari, said he didn't know whether to believe Edward ``Brian" Halloran's statement about leaks because he didn't have any specific information about who was leaking, although he said that Halloran said that Bulger and Flemmi talked weekly to John J. Connolly Jr., then an FBI agent.

``He could be wrong; he's providing information based on his belief," said Montanari, testifying in US District Court on behalf of the government, which is facing a $50 million wrongful death suit over the FBI's handling of Bulger and Flemmi.

Montanari said that he knew that Connolly was the handler for Bulger and Flemmi, but that he ``had no specific reason to suspect Connolly" of leaking information to the pair.

And so, when Halloran was gunned down in May 1982, Montanari said, he enlisted Connolly's help and briefed him on the ongoing investigation, even though Bulger and Flemmi were suspects in the slaying of Halloran and Tulsa businessman Roger Wheeler.

``I certainly didn't expect Bulger and Flemmi, if they were involved in the murder, to confide that in John Connolly," said Montanari, adding that Connolly had ``other good sources" that he thought might have information.

Instead, Connolly leaked information from those briefings that caused Bulger and Flemmi to order the August 1982 slaying in Florida of a third potential witness, Boston financier John Callahan, according to earlier testimony by Flemmi.

Another former Bulger associate, Kevin J. Weeks, testified earlier that Connolly wasn't the only agent leaking information from the Boston office. Weeks testified that Bulger ambushed Halloran from a passing car.

Weeks said Bulger warned him to get rid of the car because John Morris, then an FBI supervisor, revealed during a meeting at Bulger's home with Connolly and another agent that the FBI knew the plate number of the car used in Halloran's slaying. According to Weeks, Bulger noted that Morris leaked the information after having a few beers and said, ``Thank God for Beck's beer."

Yesterday's testimony came on the 15th day of a civil trial of a suit brought by the family of Quincy fisherman John McIntyre. Earlier, Flemmi testified that he and Bulger killed McIntyre on Nov. 30, 1984, after Connolly warned them that McIntyre had implicated them in an unsuccessful plot to ship weapons to the outlawed Irish Republican Army.

During cross-examination, Montanari insisted there was no tension within the FBI over the decision to keep using Bulger and Flemmi as informants while they were being investigated for homicides.

``John Connolly believed in his informants, and he defended them," Montanari said.

Judge slams FBI over killer rats
By Laurel J. Sweet
Friday, June 30, 2006 - Updated: 11:45 AM EST

The first judge to weed through the “thorny” debate over whether the FBI is liable for murders committed by informants put the agency on the defensive yesterday when a Justice Department lawyer conceded rats run amok.

 Bulger and the FBI:
    “When I leave this courthouse this afternoon, do I need to worry that some informant is going to shoot me because the FBI is not watching them?” U.S. District Court Judge Reginald C. Lindsay baited Bridget Bailey Lipscomb. Lipscomb retorted that if informants like serial slayers James “Whitey” Bulger and Stephen “The Rifleman” Flemmi had been reined in when they were terrorizing Boston, they’d have been “no use” to the FBI.


    And while acknowledging Bulger and Flemmi played ball with the FBI, they “were not under the control of the FBI,” Lipscomb said.
     Lindsay’s pointed cross-examination from the bench of how the FBI chose to police its own jounced yesterday’s closing arguments in the wron ul-death suit brought against the agency by a Quincy woman whose son, John McIntyre, Bulger and Flemmi tortured to death in 1984.
     Lindsay - not a jury - is charged with deciding the monthlong trial’s outcome. McIntyre’s family wants $50 million.
     “Then, as now, there’s no acceptance of responsibility,” the family’s attorney, William Christie, said. “The FBI engaged in conduct that any reputable agency would be ashamed to acknowledge.”
    McIntyre was killed for cooperating with federal authorities about Bulger’s and Flemmi’s efforts to arm the Irish Republican Army. They learned McIntyre’s identity with help from their FBI handler, convicted rogue G-man John Connolly.
    Though she believes McIntyre’s murder was “foreseeable,” Lipscomb argued that Connolly was acting outside the “scope of his employment,” as a contract he signed forbid divulging informants’ identities to outsiders.
     Lindsay asked whether one could infer that Boston FBI agents were trying to “deflect” suspicion from Bulger and Flemmi when they “staged” the men in business suits for mugshots requested by officials investigating a murder in Oklahoma.
    Lipscomb was left speechless.
    But not Emily McIntyre, who wept as Christie seared in Lindsay’s conscience how her son was chained to a chair with a machine gun trained on him, interrogated for five hours, strangled and shot in the head.
    “The only fiction in this trial,” Christie said, “is the notion that the FBI is not responsible.”

Late Mobster's Ex-Girlfriend a Key Witness

NEW YORK — When Linda Schiro was just 16 years old, she was already a mistress to the mob. The Brooklyn teen hooked up with an older man, a veteran of the Colombo crime family, and they lived together for nearly three decades.

Gregory Scarpa Sr. was convicted of murder and racketeering and died in a Minnesota prison.

Click to learn more...

A dozen years later, Schiro has emerged as a key witness against an FBI agent accused in what a prosecutor has labeled one of the worst cases of law enforcement corruption in the nation's history.

The agent, R. Lindley DeVecchio, allegedly fed Schiro's late boyfriend inside information that led to four mob slayings _ including hits against another mobster's girlfriend and a gangster turned born-again Christian.

But attorneys for DeVecchio say the longtime mob mistress lacks the credibility to implicate the former FBI agent. Her story has changed drastically over time, the defense says.

Authorities insist that Schiro's initial reluctance to detail the relationship between the agent and the mob capo was motivated by fears for her life. Only recently was she persuaded to tell the truth, they say.

Schiro met Scarpa in 1966 when she was 16. They quickly moved in together and shared the same home for 28 years _ except when Scarpa was behind bars. The couple had two children.

DeVecchio was the head of the FBI's Colombo crime family squad and became Scarpa's handler when the mobster turned informer. During Scarpa's time as a mole, DeVecchio put together a 700-page informant file detailing their relationship, court papers showed.

Allegations about possible leaks from DeVecchio to Scarpa first surfaced after the mobster's June 1994 death from AIDS, contracted when he received a tainted blood transfusion. But the Department of Justice declined to prosecute DeVecchio following an internal investigation.

DeVecchio, now 65, retired to Florida in 1996. The former agent has pleaded not guilty to murder charges and is free on $1 million bond.

A law enforcement official, speaking on condition of anonymity because the investigation remains open, said authorities approached Schiro two years ago after a private investigator turned up fresh evidence against DeVecchio.

Prosecutors persuaded Schiro to come clean about the relationship between the agent and Scarpa by promising relocation and police protection. "It was a matter of making her feel safe, telling her, 'You're not going to get whacked,'" the official said.

Court papers filed by the prosecution present a sinister relationship between Scarpa and DeVecchio.

The pair met once a week at Scarpa's home, where the agent accepted a roll of bills bound with a rubber band _ the payoff for DeVecchio's tips from inside the FBI, according to an affidavit from Assistant District Attorney Ann Bordley.

The prosecutor maintains that Schiro has direct knowledge about the 1990 slaying of Patrick Porco, who with Scarpa's son Joey and two other suspects murdered a man outside a church in Brooklyn on Halloween 1989.

In May 1990, Schiro answered a phone call from DeVecchio, asking for Scarpa. The mobster had Schiro drive him to a pay phone, where he spoke with DeVecchio for about 10 minutes before returning to the car.

"I can't believe this (expletive) kid," Scarpa allegedly told Schiro. "Patrick is going to rat on Joey. We got to do something about this."

Porco, 18, was found the next morning on a Brooklyn street corner with a bullet in his head.

The case is a hit -no, really
Local lawyers take on the mafia and the FBI

The details read like a Sopranos episode.
A Massachusetts fisherman turns up shot and with his teeth pulled and tongue cut after a pair of mobsters - James "Whitey" Bulger and Stephen "The Rifleman" Flemmi - learn he's tattled on their plot to smuggle guns to the Irish Republican Army. Now his family is suing the government for $50 million, alleging an FBI agent gave him up to the mobsters.
It's no script. It's the plot of a wrongful death lawsuit brought against the government by the Shaheen and Gordon law office in Concord.
Lawyers Steve Gordon and Bill Christie, and their clerk Charles Holoubek, have spent the last month arguing the case before a judge in the federal courthouse in Boston. Thursday, both sides gave closing arguments, and the judge now must decide whether the government owes the family of John McIntyre, the 32-year-old fisherman, money for his murder and, if so, how much.
It's been a long haul for Christie and Gordon, who began pursuing the case in 2000 when a Boston lawyer referred it to them. There were more than 500,000 documents and nearly 25 years of FBI and mob history to sort out. The case was dismissed once for being filed too late, but Christie and Gordon appealed and got it reinstated.
The firm's only payment will be 25 percent of whatever the judge awards the family, if anything. Gordon joked after court Thursday that the referring attorney probably passed on the case because he knew better than they did how much work it would require. But even if the case pays nothing, Gordon said, he has no regrets about taking it.
---ADVERTISEMENT---
       
"The pursuit of justice is the reason I went to law school," he said. "From a philosophical point of view, I would do it again. Challenging the government is the right thing to do. But there is an extraordinary toll the government is willing to extract from people who are willing to challenge it."
McIntyre was an engineer on a Gloucester trawler in 1984 while it was being used to ship guns to Ireland. He told the FBI that Bulger and Flemmi were involved in the smuggling plot. Six weeks later, McIntyre vanished. His murder was so brutal that when the details came up in court this month, Judge Reginald Lindsay made sure McIntyre's 77-year-old mother had time to leave the room.
The story of McIntyre's last five hours came from Flemmi himself, who, as part of a plea deal, is serving a life sentence for 10 murders, including McIntyre's. He testified for nearly three days and said it was his FBI "handler," or contact, who told him and Bulger that McIntyre had tipped the FBI to their role in the gun-smuggling operation.
According to Flemmi, he and Bulger responded by confronting McIntyre at a South Boston home and chaining him to a chair while grilling him about his cooperation with the FBI. A machine gun sat on a nearby table.
After an hour or two, Flemmi testified, Bulger took McIntyre to the basement and tried to strangle him with a boat rope. When that didn't work, Bulger asked McIntyre if he would prefer to be shot in the head. McIntyre's response, according to Flemmi: "Yes, please."
Flemmi said he pulled McIntyre's teeth after he was dead to make identifying his corpse harder. He also cut out part of his tongue. McIntyre's body was found 16 years later in Dorchester after another mobster revealed its location.
Flemmi began cooperating with the authorities three years ago, but Bulger has been a fugitive since 1995.
This case has proven interesting inside and outside the courtroom.
Through testimony and documents, Gordon and Christie have painted a world where some FBI agents and their mobster informants worked like partners. Agents were assigned to develop informants, and once they did, they became those informants'"handlers." Handlers and mobsters shared dinners, and by some accounts, mobsters showered their FBI monitors with gifts and money.
Agents who got too chummy with their mobster informants were guilty of "going native," in FBI speak. But those close relationships were also encouraged if they generated useful information for the FBI.
Bulger and Flemmi were viewed as top informants, according Gordon and Christie, because they gave the government details on high-level crime. Flemmi said on the stand that in exchange, the FBI agreed to protect him by tipping him when another agency was investigating him.
Christie and Gordon maintain that the FBI ignored or inadequately pursued tips that Flemmi and Bulger were involved in serious crimes (murder, extortion, drugs) while working as informants against other criminals. In that scenario, Christie said in his closing Thursday, the FBI considered McIntyre expendable if leaking his name meant keeping Flemmi and Bulger in the fold.
The government's lawyers didn't exactly deny that FBI agent James Connolly Jr. leaked McIntyre's name to Bulger and Flemmi, and they acknowledged if it happened, Connolly should have expected McIntyre to be killed as a result. Instead, the government argued that any such leak would have been outside the FBI agent's official duties, and therefore, not the FBI's legal problem. Connolly is serving a 10-year prison sentence for racketeering for his handling of Bulger and Flemmi and for tipping Bulger to flee. He is also awaiting trial in Florida on a murder charge that alleges he helped Bulger and Felmmi kill someone in 1982.
"The degree of the relationship between the FBI and Bulger and Flemmi is simply amazing,"Christie said yesterday. "Flemmi testified about his role in a dozen murders. (Another mobster) testified about his role in four or five murders. And sitting in the courtroom hearing them testify matter-of-factly about the people they killed while being FBI informants was striking."
After living with this case for six years, some things have surprised Christie and Gordon. The Boston papers covered the case closely, and as a result, the lawyers began getting unexpected reactions from strangers.
At their offices in Concord and Dover, they got calls from people providing tips about the location of Bulger. Epping was one locale. Outside the courthouse, people, including federal employees, approached the lawyers to shake their hands, thank them and wish them well.
Throughout the trial, others have handed them questions written on paper about the mob's relationship with the FBI during the 1980s with hopes they'll get answers to their own stories.
Christie thinks he can explain the interest. Several informants were killed after their names were leaked, but McIntyre's lawsuit is the first to go to trial. So this case is more than a chance for just McIntyre's family to find answers.
"I think there were a whole host of people victimized by this conduct," Christie said. "We have received a tremendous amount of support from them and from other people interested in this."
Gordon was reluctant after court Thursday to discuss the evidence in detail while the case is awaiting a judge's decision. Nor would he reveal how he thinks the case came together in the courtroom. The closest he would come was sharing the impressions of a courtroom spectator known as "The Barometer." Everyone, it seems, earns a nickname in these cases.
The Barometer is a retired fellow who sits in on cases in the federal courthouse. (Maybe it's the waterfront view.) During breaks, he tells the lawyers whether they are winning or losing the case. On the last day of court Thursday, he had high praise for Gordon and Christie.
Christie has worked on this case the longest, and in the last two-plus months, he and Gordon each put in long hours, seven days a week. Will it be hard to go back to more ordinary cases, with maybe less intrigue?
"A less exciting case may be just what the doctor ordered,"Christie said.

Are cops 'special equipment' in tow scams?

March 18, 2008

Predatory tow truck operators view Chicago police officers as "special equipment" in their scams.

I've mentioned in previous columns that wreck chasers are charging motorists involved in accidents on Chicago streets as much as $3,500 for a tow that should cost no more than $150.

Among the unexplained itemized charges on these tow bills is one labeled "special equipment" that ranges from $250 to $995.

No one has been able to explain to me what "special equipment" was used in any of these tows.

But I recently received a call from a fellow who runs a legitimate tow truck business in the south suburbs and claims to know what the charge is for and how the money is used.

"I've talked to the people who run these wreck-chasing companies, and they tell me the special equipment charge is the kickback they pay Chicago cops to do business," the fellow said.

I called the Chicago police news affairs office last Thursday, hoping to speak to new Supt. Jody Weis, a former FBI agent, about the tow truck scams and possible police involvement.

Weis never returned my phone call or an e-mail I sent seeking comment.

On Monday, I called again and spoke to Monique Bond, the superintendent's spokeswoman.

At first Bond seemed unclear about the nature of the tow truck problem and asked me if I had any specific examples.

I told her that I had been writing about the tow truck scams for a year and that if Weis wanted specifics, all he had to do was contact any major auto insurance company doing business in Illinois, any auto body shop in the Chicago area or any of the dozens of legitimate towing firms that have had their reputations smeared by the predatory operators.

I told Bond that since the new superintendent had been hired to clean up the department's reputation, I could not accept her answer that he needed more information.

That's when Bond said, "There is an ongoing investigation into this matter. This has gone to a higher level. That's all I can say."

That could be a reference to an FBI investigation that has been rumored for some time. But if the feds are looking into the tow truck scams, they sure are taking their sweet time.

Only a few days after reporting that tow truck charges at accident scenes had hit new highs of $3,500 on the streets of Chicago, I received a call Monday about a charge of $4,800.

There are now indications that some of these predatory firms are getting so greedy that they actually stage accidents instead of waiting for them to happen.

The sleazeball towing firm sends out a car to cause an accident with a victim who will eventually be handed one of these enormous tow bills.

Motorists rarely complain about the charges because the insurance companies pick up the cost. But the companies pass those costs along to the rest of us in the form of higher insurance premiums.

Many suburbs have contracts with towing companies that include regulations and rate limits.

If a predatory tow truck firm shows up at the scene of a suburban accident, police simply tell them to go away and wait for the contract operator to show up.

But that doesn't happen in Chicago, where piracy and wreck-chasing is encouraged.

A representative for U-Haul recently told me the company suspects that some of these tow truck firms are actually sending their people in to rent trucks that then end up in accidents on Chicago streets.

It is not unheard of for U-Haul to then receive a bill of $10,000 for the tow. The rental truck is basically held hostage in a lot until the U-Haul dealer pays up.

I've gotten the same kinds of calls from rental car agencies with the same suspicions.

"These guys are just laughing at everyone, increasing their fees and piling up the cash," said J.R. Bramlett, the owner of Airline Towing in Calumet Park and former president of the Professional Towing and Recovery Operators of Illinois.

"They've told me they plan on retiring rich men on a sandy beach in some foreign country before law enforcement comes for them."

Unless Weis wants Chicago police officers looked upon as "special equipment" in an insurance scam, he should take steps to end this thievery.

Police officers ought to be protecting the public, not the profits of predatory tow truck operators.

FBI chief blames Britain’s laws for the ‘dark hole’ in terror intelligence

The war on terror is being hindered by restrictive British law which has created a "dark hole of intelligence", the director of the FBI has claimed.

Robert Mueller, America's top counter-terrorist official, said in an exclusive interview that he sometimes felt "frustration" at MI5 and Scotland Yard's inability to obtain critical information from suspects.

He blamed Britain's banning of plea-bargaining – which, in America, means suspects can receive much lighter sentences in return for revealing everything they know about other members of their cell and their international links.

Robert Mueller

Robert Mueller, America's top counter-terrorist official, said he sometimes felt 'frustration' at MI5 and Scotland Yard's inability to obtain critical information from suspects

"If you talk to our British counterparts, it's clear that people questioned about the training camps and the individuals who run the training camps have not been co-operating," said Mr Mueller, 63.

"The information they must have would bear directly on the threat situation in the UK and the situation in Pakistan, which right now is the key to thwarting successful attacks.

"All of us would like a clearer view of what's happening in Pakistan and so that's a frustration."

Mr Mueller, made FBI chief a week before the 9/11 attacks, spoke after talking about counter-terrorism in London last week to an audience including MI5 chief Jonathan Evans and Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Ian Blair.

His comments are a clear attempt to influence debate in Britain, where the Government is trying to extend the period that terrorist suspects can be held without charge from 28 to 42 days.

But plea-bargaining would mean that would be unnecessary, said Mr Mueller, adding that he had "no problem" with the US limit of two days before a terror suspect had to be charged.

Under the American plea-bargaining system, suspects are bound by a rigid contract, so that if it later emerges that they have not given up all their relevant knowledge, their deal is void.

Mr Mueller said that although leads opened up by plea-bargains in America had proven vital in preventing attacks and obtaining convictions in Britain, terrorists arrested and convicted in the UK were keeping invaluable secrets to themselves in their prison cells.

He cited Mohammed Babar, a Pakistani-American who, having admitted plotting attacks in New York, went on to give the FBI the tip that led to Scotland Yard's Operation Crevice, the 2004 arrest of seven men in Surrey who were keeping explosives in a garage and planning to blow up the Bluewater shopping centre and the Ministry of Sound nightclub.

Babar gave evidence at their 2006 trial, where all seven were convicted, and later against the five convicted over the 21/7 attacks in London in 2005.

"He is a product of the plea-bargain system," said Mr Mueller. "He saw it to his advantage to reduce the sentence he'd serve. I'm not certain my British counterparts have had anyone who has given the same amount of information, despite the number of arrests they have made over the past five years, because of the system here."

He contrasted Babar with Dhiren Barot, the UK citizen jailed in Britain for 30 years in 2006 for plotting attacks in America, where he had carried out detailed surveillance.

Mr Mueller said Barot had spent long periods in Pakistan and was "an example of someone with a wealth of knowledge who would have had information that would have been very relevant to cases in America".

But Barot, he added, had not co-operated at all and the FBI had been unable to interview him.

Mr Mueller said he expected "a majority" of terrorist suspects in America to co-operate, making plea-bargaining one of his most useful weapons.

He added that the mere knowledge that such deals could be done tended to disrupt cells' ability to function because members were more reluctant to trust each other.




                       
The Green Light.
The Infamous Department of Justice Memorandum designed to authorize torture



Global Research, April 13, 2008
Harpers


Yesterday the public finally got to see the full text of an infamous Department of Justice memorandum from March 2003 designed to authorize torture. I will have some more comments on this odious document authored by John Yoo, a man who (amazingly) teaches at a prominent law school. But this disclosure serves as a fitting introduction for the publication today of Philippe Sands’s article “The Green Light” in Vanity Fair. The article is a teaser for Sands’s forthcoming book, set for release later this month, The Torture Team.

We’ve all heard ad nauseam the Administration’s official torture narrative. This is a different kind of war, they argue. Each invocation of “different” is to a clear point: the Administration wishes to pursue its war unfettered by the laws of war. Unfettered, indeed, by any form or notion of law. But Sands’s work is important because he has looked carefully at the chronology: what came first, the decision to use torture techniques, or the legal rationale for them?

Gonzales and Haynes laid out their case with considerable care. The only flaw was that every element of the argument contained untruths. The real story, pieced together from many hours of interviews with most of the people involved in the decisions about interrogation, goes something like this: The Geneva decision was not a case of following the logic of the law but rather was designed to give effect to a prior decision to take the gloves off and allow coercive interrogation; it deliberately created a legal black hole into which the detainees were meant to fall. The new interrogation techniques did not arise spontaneously from the field but came about as a direct result of intense pressure and input from Rumsfeld’s office. The Yoo-Bybee Memo was not simply some theoretical document, an academic exercise in blue-sky hypothesizing, but rather played a crucial role in giving those at the top the confidence to put pressure on those at the bottom. And the practices employed at Guantánamo led to abuses at Abu Ghraib.

The fingerprints of the most senior lawyers in the administration were all over the design and implementation of the abusive interrogation policies. Addington, Bybee, Gonzales, Haynes, and Yoo became, in effect, a torture team of lawyers, freeing the administration from the constraints of all international rules prohibiting abuse.

Sands’s article and book put “the torture team”–the group of more than a half dozen Bush Administration lawyers who gave the green light for the introduction of torture–into sharp focus.

The lawyers in Washington were playing a double game. They wanted maximum pressure applied during interrogations, but didn’t want to be seen as the ones applying it—they wanted distance and deniability. They also wanted legal cover for themselves. A key question is whether Haynes and Rumsfeld had knowledge of the content of these memos before they approved the new interrogation techniques for al-Qahtani. If they did, then the administration’s official narrative—that the pressure for new techniques, and the legal support for them, originated on the ground at Guantánamo, from the “aggressive major general” and his staff lawyer—becomes difficult to sustain. More crucially, that knowledge is a link in the causal chain that connects the keyboards of Feith and Yoo to the interrogations of Guantánamo.

When did Haynes learn that the Justice Department had signed off on aggressive interrogation? All indications are that well before Haynes wrote his memo he knew what the Justice Department had advised the C.I.A. on interrogations and believed that he had legal cover to do what he wanted. Everyone in the upper echelons of the chain of decision-making that I spoke with, including Feith, General Myers, and General Tom Hill (the commander of SouthCom), confirmed to me that they believed at the time that Haynes had consulted Justice Department lawyers. Moreover, Haynes was a close friend of Bybee’s. “Jim was tied at the hip with Jay Bybee,” Thomas Romig, the army’s former judge advocate general, told me. “He would quote him the whole time.” Later, when asked during Senate hearings about his knowledge of the Yoo-Bybee Memo, Haynes would variously testify that he had not sought the memo, had not shaped its content, and did not possess a copy of it—but he carefully refrained from saying that he was unaware of its contents. Haynes, with whom I met on two occasions, will not speak on the record about this subject.

Sands notes the focal role that the torture lawyers saw for the Attorney General’s opinion power. It was, as Harvard law professor Jack Goldsmith suggested in a recent book, a device that could be used to give a sort of pardon in advance for persons undertaking criminal acts.

 
Enforced nudity, stress techniques common at Abu Ghraib

And of course, the torture lawyers fully appreciated from the outset that torture was a criminal act. Most of the legal memoranda they crafted, including the March 2003 Yoo memorandum released today, consist largely of precisely the sorts of arguments that criminal defense attorneys make–they weave and bob through the law finding exceptions and qualifications to the application of the criminal law. But there are some major differences: these memoranda have been crafted not as an after-the-fact defense to criminal charges, but rather as a roadmap to committing crimes and getting away with it. They are the sort of handiwork we associate with the consigliere, or mob lawyer. But these consiglieri are government attorneys who have sworn an oath, which they are violating, to uphold the law.

They have dragged the Department of Justice, as an institution, straight into the gutter. And amazingly, five years later, it continues to sit there in the muck, unable to stand up and step out of it.

Of course they missed some things along the way. The legal analyses were so poorly crafted–making the sorts of sophomoric arguments that would land a law student a failing grade on an examination, that Justice was forced to rescind them. It immediately crafted new opinions, which it continues to keep under lock and key, with the certain knowledge that when they are disclosed the resulting public uproar will force their withdrawal as well. This is the quality of legal work that emanates from the Justice Department under Alberto Gonzales, and now, Michael Mukasey.

They also missed the established precedent I have cited repeatedly here, namely United States v. Altstoetter, under the rule of which the conduct of the torture lawyers is a criminal act not shielded by any notions of government immunity. Sands discusses the history of that case which is, lamentably, known by so few American lawyers. And then he turns to the prosecution of Generalissimo Augusto Pinochet, the Chilean strong man whose life ended in a swarm of indictments and criminal proceedings. Americans seem also to forget exactly what the crime was that plagued Pinochet to his deathbed. The answer is fairly simple: he was accused on the basis of convincing evidence of having authorized a regime of torture in connection with the interrogation of insurgents, who were removed from the rule of law. The precise techniques used included a number of those subsequently authorized by President Bush’s torture team and incorporated into his “Program.” Sands recounts a prophetic moment in the course of the proceedings surrounding Pinochet’s case in London.

“It’s a matter of time,” the judge observed. “These things take time.” As I gathered my papers, he looked up and said, “And then something unexpected happens, when one of these lawyers travels to the wrong place.”

Those are words for members of the torture team to contemplate. In the meantime, they should think twice before traveling abroad. Around the world, and increasingly within the United States itself they are regarded as criminals whose day of reckoning is drawing closer on the horizon.

Bellevue man files suit after FBI raids wrong house
Wednesday, June 15, 2011
By Rich Lord, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

A Bellevue man whose home was searched in an FBI-led drug raid -- apparently in an effort to find someone who had moved away -- filed a lawsuit today alleging constitutional violations.

Gary Adams and his family were distressed, embarrassed and humiliated when agents "battered down the door to his home and armed with assault rifles stormed into his house March 3 in a misguided attempt to serve an arrest warrant on a person who was not related to or who had ever resided with" them, according to a press release by Downtown attorney Timothy P. O'Brien, representing the family. "The lawsuit contends that law-abiding citizens' constitutional rights are not, cannot and should not ever be 'collateral damage' in the government's war on drugs."

The complaint by 11 family members filed in U.S. District Court named Agent Karen Springmeyer and 11 unnamed agents as defendants, saying they violated the Adams' Fourth Amendment right to be free from unlawful search and seizure, and Fifth Amendment right to life, liberty and property.

Gang Stalking = COINTELPRO = STASI decomposition

 

The FBI and all law enforcement agencies are currently using a psychological warfare protocol like "COINTELPRO" which is almost identical to the STASI "decomposition". This is what people are referring to as Gang Stalking.

 

The earliest forms of this that I know of are from Egypt, Greece and Rome. Each of these societies had pervasive spy/informant networks that were spying on each other as well as looking for spies inside of their own empires. Anyone who did not feel that their own respective empire was the most perfect society could be considered a traitor. In other words they were looking for anyone who had thoughts beliefs and attitudes that were not approved of by the state that could instigate revolt or subversive activity or otherwise make them a danger to the empire. This obviously created a snitch culture and there were bound to be abuses. If a person was not liked by another then it was easy to persuade others to make a complaint and get that person killed or exiled. No one dare say or do anything that was politically incorrect and thus the rulers were able to maintain power and control over the people. Blatant execution or exile is common in an empire but in a democracy it is not as easy to accomplish these punishments so modern psychological operations were developed to accomplish these goals and in this way an empire can masquerade as a democracy.

 

The STASI decomposition protocol is an excellent example of how these modern psychological operations work. The STASI decomposition is almost identical to the FBI’s COINTELPRO. Here is a link to a document that shows an overview of the STASI decomposition.

Law enforcement agencies in concert with government and corporations are using bribery, deception, coercion & blackmail to create an informant & saboteur network out of criminals of all kinds, extremist groups, cults, patriotic zealots, the poor, the homeless, friends, family, neighbors, repair men, fire men, police, military personnel and agents to target individuals and groups that have beliefs and attitudes (such as civil rights and animal rights.) that may cause them to commit acts of terrorism at some future time or motivate others to commit terrorist acts or incite revolt. This pre-crime approach has existed numerous times throughout American history but has reared its ugly head again due to 9/11.

Unfortunately, according to former FBI agent Mike German, many post 9/11 targeted individuals are nothing more than a training exercise.

The real power behind gang stalking and many other terrible things is the minority of the opulent but the front group making all the policy changes these days is the neoconservatives. Neoconservatisim is a cult ideology that has been bankrolled and nurtured by the opulent just like all of the other cult ideologies created or co-opted by the opulent for their machinations.

Stalin and Hitler were fanatical leaders inspired by a gang mentality and by the concept of "historic mission." They believed that intolerance and large scale brutality were necessary ingredients of social order. Each of them was also supported by the “cult of personality.” The neocons are strikingly similar.

 

What are the components of gang mentality?

 

Reputation

·         Extreme concern with reputation both inside and outside of the ideology. Neocons are this way.

 

Respect

·         Extreme concern with respect both inside and outside of the ideology. Neocons are this way.

 

Retaliation

·         No challenge will go unanswered. It is so with the neocons as well.

 

What is the concept of “historic mission”?

 

In a well documented conversation, Adolf Hitler berated the Austrian Chancellor Schuschnigg and stated…

"That is what you say!...But I am telling you that I am going to solve the so-called Austrian problem one way or the other...I have a historic mission, and this mission I will fulfill because Providence has destined me to do so...I have only to give an order and all your ridiculous defense mechanisms will be blown to bits. You don't seriously believe you can stop me or even delay me for half an hour, do you?"

 

Prominent neocon Michael Ledeen stated…

“Creative destruction is our middle name, both within our own society and abroad. We tear down the old order every day, from business to science, literature, art, architecture, and cinema to politics and the law. Our enemies have always hated this whirlwind of energy and creativity, which menaces their traditions (whatever they may be) and shames them for their inability to keep pace. Seeing America undo traditional societies, they fear us, for they do not wish to be undone. They cannot feel secure so long as we are there, for our very existence—our existence, not our politics—threatens their legitimacy. They must attack us in order to survive, just as we must destroy them to advance our historic mission.”

 

What is the cult of personality?

 

The cult of personality is explained pretty well here…

·         http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cult_of_personality

 

The Straussian philosophy is a cult of personality and the neocons follow the Straussian philosophy

·         http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article13145.htm

 

If you select 1 percent of a population (Whistle blowers, dissidents, artists, those that look funny, and act or dress funny) and punish them severely for little or nothing, then you will gain the compliance of the other 99 percent either through fear or because they’ve been conned by the COINTELPRO/STASI type propaganda in to believing that the TI’s must be removed from society for the common good. Then you can implement the social, political and financial changes you want on a grand scale in a relatively short period of time. I.E. advance your historic mission. This has been done enumerable times throughout history.

 

When the average person considers what the Nazis or Stalin did, they are naturally horrified. When a banker considers what the Nazis or Stalin did they have dollar signs in their eyes. MONEY is the real reason this is happening!!! The bankers know that a one world government is not possible. Empire building has been going on for centuries and a global empire has never been realized. But if you understand finance, history, politics and the military industrial complex, then it is clear to see that it is the EXERCISE of building empires and large scale wars that redistributes the wealth of nations into the hands of the banking elite and keeps the masses under control.

 

Unfortunately most human beings don't understand how their own minds work nor are they well educated in multiple disciplines. Most of the people that perpetrate these crimes against humanity aren't fully aware that there is such a big conspiracy going on. It’s just that most human beings have so many inherent psychological weaknesses and such a deep lack of education that if you alter the socioeconomic landscape in just the right way, you get what you see here in America today.

One of the biggest mistakes people make when they become TI’s is to attempt to create a counter spy network against those that are surveilling them. This is something that the neocons and the banking elite are OK with. A global spy counter spy network is much like the cold war and the cold war was extremely profitable for the banking elite not to mention a powerful pretext to control people. The global war on terror needs a global terrorist network and since there really is not one, many targets will be manipulated into acting out in ways that can classify them as terrorists thus creating the impetus for law enforcement agencies to demand more tax payer money to fight the war on terror. Targets are all better off contacting a civil rights group and explaining that they have reason to believe they have been placed on the terrorist watch list.

 

Do yourself a favor and learn as much about economics and finance as possible. It will help you survive. This is all the info you will need to be an educated investor. It’s not a get rich quick thing, just a solid economics and investing education.

Also, listen to as many lectures by Professor Noam Chomsky as possible. They are all over the internet. He is brilliant and has been exposing the machinations of the opulent (Rothschild, Rockefeller etc) for decades. His research is very credible and will help you to separate the facts from the propaganda and give you a measure of mental clarity and peace. Utilizing his research will also help you gain some of your credibility back with others.

 

Try to explain all of this to your friends and family. Usually when people see the mission statement of the neocons from their websites (PNAC & FPI) they start listening.

 

According to anti-communist author Ludwik Kowalski

“Mass murder occurs when brutal and sadistic criminals, to be found in every society, are promoted to positions of dominance, when propaganda is used to dehumanize the targeted population and when children are inoculated with intolerance and hatred. It occurs when victims ("inferior races" or "class enemies") are excluded from the norms of morality, when ideological totalitarianism is imposed and when freedom is suspended. Fear and violence, the preconditions of genocide, are likely to be found in societies with large numbers of thieves and informants.”

Schaeffer Cox: FBI Informants Kidnapped Me, Turned My Life Into The Truman Show
Jillian Rayfield December 22, 2011, 5:57 AM 1655 18

Alaska militia leader Schaeffer Cox is asking the court to throw out FBI recordings made by a confidential informant because the informant took actions that were “analogous to kidnapping” and turned Cox’s life into a version of the Jim Carrey movie The Truman Show.

In a filing on Monday, Cox attorney Nelson Traverso argued that the judge should suppress all of the recordings made by the FBI’s confidential informant, Gerald Olson.

“Cox — like Jim Carrey’s character in the movie The Truman Show — has eventually found out that the intimate details of his private life, including the gatherings of his friends and family, were unbeknownst to him broadcast to an audience and preserved for that audience’s own future use,” the filing says. “Since this entire case is the fruit of that unlawful and heinous surveillance, all the evidence obtained by the government must be suppressed.”

Olson agreed to inform on Cox and other members of the Alaska Peacemakers Militia in exchange for a reduced sentence on a fraud charge over a septic tank business scam. The other FBI informant was Bill Fulton, the former owner of Dropzone Security, who also recorded Cox and his compatriots after he was allegedly contacted to provide them with weapons.

In March, Cox and four others were arrested and charged with stockpiling weapons as part of a plot to kill several Alaska officials.

“With the benefit of hindsight,” the brief says, “it is easy to see that [Olson] was desperate and did what he did in order to create a situation where he could be the ‘hero’ and thereby benefit his own penal interests, thus receiving a slap on the hand when instead he should be behind bars for a decade or more.”

Cox alleges that Olson, though only an entry-level member of the militia, “refused on numerous occasions to abide by the directives of Cox but instead implemented his own agenda and attempted to inject himself into the command structure.” Cox says Olson also advocated using violence, to the point where he had “worn out his welcome” and other members of the group had plans to “decommission” him.

“Cox explicitly and specifically told [Olson] not to try to obtain the explosive C-4; yet, [Olson] did so,” the brief claims. “Cox explicitly and specifically told [Olson] not to be involved with anything illegal; yet, [Olson] engaged in a campaign of doing so.”

At the time, Cox had begun to feel he “had no choice but to walk away from it all now,” and Olson was only kept on board because he told Cox he had a way for him to get out of the state, according to the court documents. Olson allegedly told Cox that for $500 “a sympathetic trucker” would transport him to the lower 48 states, and then “made further recorded misrepresentations explaining the fictitious trucker’s delay on February 26 and March 1, and then told Cox that the trucker was there to transport Cox on March 10 when instead that was the guise for effecting Cox’s arrest.” Cox also says he lost use of his family car because Olson took his car battery and promised to fix it, but never did.

Crow Indians’ Lawsuit Against F.B.I. Agent Can Proceed


 February 1, 2013

   
Two families from the Crow Indian Reservation in Montana can proceed with a lawsuit against an F.B.I. agent that accuses him of failing to properly investigate crimes against Native Americans on and around the reservation, the United States Supreme Court has ruled.



The court’s decision upholds a 2010 federal court ruling that said the F.B.I. agent, Matthew Oravec, did not have qualified immunity from legal action, a protection usually given to government employees when acting in an official capacity — and a status sought by the Justice Department, which had appealed the ruling by the Ninth District Court of Appeals.

“The decision puts federal and state law enforcement agents on notice that they may be held personally liable if they discriminate against Indians in investigating crimes against them,” said Patricia S. Bangert, a Denver lawyer who is representing one of the families.

Cyril Wecht is a world famous forensic pathologist and attorney who is also known as one of the first
people to challenge the autopsy reports in the President Kennedy assassination. see

More recently Dr Wecht has been organizing conferences detailing the evidence for FBI  agents and other government officials
assassinating President Kennedy. Recently the FBI  agent Orsini decided to silence the 82 year old Wecht by filing over 84 counts against him. All the charges were eventually dropped.  see

Wecht investigator's discipline file opened
U.S. judge orders FBI records unsealed
July 11, 2007

A federal judge yesterday unsealed records revealing that the lead FBI agent in the criminal case against Dr. Cyril H. Wecht was disciplined elsewhere for forging other agents' names and initials on chain-of-custody forms, evidence labels and interview forms.

  
  

Further, in September 2001 Special Agent Bradley W. Orsini was demoted and received a 30-day suspension without pay for a series of policy violations that occurred from 1993 through 2000, which included having an inappropriate relationship with a subordinate; making improper vulgar and sexual comments; threatening a subordinate with violence; and improperly documenting the seizure of a weapon and ammunition from a search.

"We're pleased this information is now available to the public for its own analysis and understanding of its impact on the case," said Dr. Wecht's defense attorney, Jerry McDevitt. "The report speaks for itself."

Rich Paul’s Story, Part 1: Activist, entrapped; blackmailed by FBI!

Heroic liberty activist Rich Paul is facing 81 years in prison for selling cannabis and is taking it to trial by jury. You’ve seen his videos and may generally know his story, but Rich decided to write it down in his words, via his Facebook page. Here’s his story of his arrest, Part 1:

My name is Rich Paul. Last year, on May 31st, I was arrested by the Keene Police department. I was transported to the police station, where I expected to be booked for some crime. But I was not booked. Instead, I was taken to Special Agent Philip Christiana, who attempted to blackmail me. I was threatened with 81 years in prison, for delivery of marijuana and delivery of a substance purported to be LSD. I had, indeed, delivered marijuana as alleged, but had not purported anything to be LSD. The told me I had only one chance to save myself from them … that was to go on selling marijuana, but at the same time to spy on my friends at the Keene Activist Center, a political association of which I am a member.

I invoked my right to council, but Christiana said that if I did not relent, that the offer would be withdrawn, and that I would be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, and that no plea bargains would be offered to me at any time. I wanted to hear what he had to say, so I did relent and waived my right to council. I said that I would not make any kind of deal with him without being represented by council, to protect my interests. I also told him that we would not be negotiating with him, because he did not have the authority to give me immunity, and because law enforcement officers are permitted to lie to suspects, and that I could not trust him for that reason. He responded with a lie … he said that he was not permitted to lie to suspects. This is patently false. He went on to assert that if he perjured himself that he would be fired. This was probably true, but was a half lie … he could not perjure himself in conversation with me, because he was not under oath. Perjury is the crime of telling a lie under oath. I explained this to Christiana, and he reacted as if that information was new to him. At this point I lost all respect for Special Agent Philip Christiana of the FBI.

Christiana spoke with me about what he intended for me to do. He wanted me to return to the KAC wearing a hidden transmitter, and to lie about the reason for my arrest, and to determine how people reacted, and who questioned my story. This was clearly not the actual intent of the whole operation. He repeatedly told me “You are going to have to do things that you don’t want to do”. I asked him “Like what?”. He said that some of my friends would be selected, and I would be expected to lure them into felonious drug transactions with me, in order that they could be blackmailed in the same way. I told him that if I knew anybody who was making a bomb or planning violence that I would have come to him, rather than waiting for him to come to me. He did not seem to care. He veered from solicitous to aggressive, at one point suggesting that “nobody had to go to prison”, but at another saying that “somebody was going to go to prison, it was all about who”. I answered that it was not about that, it was about right and wrong.

At this point, Christiana started to question me. When he asked the first question, my address, I again invoked my right to council. Christiana repeated that if I invoked my right to council, that I would be going to jail for a long time. I said “OK, we’ll do that, then”. At this point Christiana appeared to end the interview … he had a KPD officer process me to be sent over to the jail. I was fingerprinted and my personal information demanded. Then I was placed in a cell for a short time. Then I was removed, and returned to the interrogation room where I had spoken with Christiana previously. At this point, to my astonishment, he told me that I was going to be released on my own recognizance, and that I could contact a lawyer, but that I was only to ask this lawyer whether an FBI had the power to give immunity. I made non-committal noises that might have sounded like agreement, but I had no intention of limiting my conversation with my attorney when I had obtained one, or to accept legal advice from law enforcement, especially from an agent who had already attempted to mislead me repeatedly. I insisted in getting a business card from Christiana, and he finally agreed, but crossed out the “ip” in his first name and his entire last name, his email address, and other identifying information. I could not believe how amateurish this appeared. I thanked Christiana for leaving his water board at home, and he ushered me out the front door of the police station and told me to start walking, not even waiting for my ride to arrive. I half expected to be shot in the back as I walked away. I breathed a sigh of relief when I reached Marlboro Street.

I was delighted when, a few hundred yards later, my lady’s car rolled into view, and she returned me to the Club.

Ex-FBI agent seeks release from Utah prison
Robert Lustyik held; judge says he violated parole
Apr. 24, 2013   | 


A federal judge in Salt Lake City has granted a former FBI “spy hunter” from Sleepy Hollow a chance to argue his way out of a Utah federal prison while he awaits trial on conspiracy charges.

U.S. District Judge Tena Campbell this week scheduled a pretrial hearing for May 3 for Robert Lustyik Jr., a retired agent who was ordered held by another Utah judge March 19 after, officials said, he violated the terms of his bail by meeting with witnesses in the case.

Lustyik, 50, was indicted late last year along with childhood friend Johannes Thaler, a former Tarrytown resident. Federal prosecutors charged that the two conspired to derail an earlier and separate federal investigation of controversial defense contractor Michael Taylor, who was accused of defrauding the government out of a $54 million defense contract in Afghanistan.

Prosecutors say Taylor promised Lustyik $200,000 as well as a share of several lucrative contracts he was anticipating: a $100 million deal for security and surveillance equipment and services in the United Arab Emirates; a $50 million contract for power generation in Iraq; and a contract to provide security at a 10 million-barrel oilfield in South Sudan.

Defense attorneys have argued that Lustyik was merely trying to secure Taylor as a government witness when federal investigators on Taylor’s fraud probe inadvertently stumbled onto his efforts. They also said Thaler is a lady’s shoes salesman at Macy’s, not an international conspirator.

But last month, prosecutors moved to have Lustyik held, claiming that he never secured his $2 million bail and gave a potential witness $26,000.

Eyewitness Contradicts Police Account of Tsarnaev Killing

By RSN Staff

28 April 13

 

According to this eyewitness account broadcast on Boston radio station WEEI 93.7 FM, a caller named Linda, who said she was from Dexter Street in Waterville, reported that she saw "the first suspect [Tamerlan Tsarnaev] hit by a police SUV, and then after he was hit, shot multiple times."

This differs markedly from accounts by Watertown police chief Edward Deveau, who describes, to CNN's very enthusiastic Wolf Blitzer, two suspects firing on police officers with a lot of weapons, Tamerlan Tsarnaev firing on police at close range, Tamerlan then being tackled by police, and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev then speeding toward them in a black SUV, ultimately running over his brother Tamerlan as he fled the scene.

The eyewitness account casts doubt on Boston PD's entire account of the incident. - MA/RSN

FBI agent's ties to Lil Phat slaying suspect investigated

ATLANTA, April 29 (UPI) -- The case of slain rapper Lil Phat took another turn in Atlanta Monday with the FBI saying it's investigating allegations an agent shielded a suspect.

WSB-TV, Atlanta, reported the FBI said it is investigating allegations the unidentified agent tried to keep Mani Chulpayev, a former Russian mobster-turned-car dealer, from being implicated in the June shooting death of the 19-year-old Lil Phat, whose real name was Melvin Vernell III.

"With respect to allegations of misconduct involving one of our special agents, the FBI Atlanta field office not only acknowledged an awareness of those allegations but took swift actions to address the matter," the FBI said in a statement to WSB-TV. "The details of those allegations were promptly forwarded for further review to our Office of Professional Responsibility.

"While we're prohibited in discussing the details of that internal investigation or the current status or assignment of the special agent involved, the FBI would like to reassure the public that the FBI holds all of its employee to the highest standards and that those allegations being made in the various media reports will be addressed as part of our previously mentioned internal process."

District Attorney Paul Howard said Chulpayev was identified as a suspect soon after Lil Phat's assassination-style killing while sitting in a car in a hospital parking lot.

Asked if federal interference had delayed the murder investigation, Howard said determining that was not his top priority now.

"Maybe sometime after we get this murder [investigation] completed then we'll look at some of the people that are involved in this incident, like the FBI participation," Howard said.

Chulpayev's attorney, George Plumides, had little to say about his client's federal connections other than to say "he feels a little betrayed" by "higher-ups."

WSB-TV reported Friday three of four suspects in Lil Phat's death were in custody, including Chulpayev, who is accused of ordering a contract killing, using two gunmen from Alabama. Howard said Lil Phat had told police two days before he was killed Chulpayev had leased him a BMW that had been reported stolen.

Federal Judge Edward Korman slammed ex-FBI agent Lindley DeVecchio in a 2012 case for mobster Gregory Scarpa Jr.
In a stunning burst of candor, a Brooklyn federal judge said he has long believed that a former FBI agent who beat a murder rap was a rogue G-man, the Daily News has learned.
Judge Edward Korman’s damning words were buried in a transcript of a 2012 court case for mob informant Gregory Scarpa Jr.
Scarpa was seeking a reduction of his racketeering sentence as a reward for helping the feds find explosives hidden in the home of Oklahoma City bomber Terry Nichols.
Korman suggested that the government opposed the motion because the FBI might still have a grudge against Scarpa for his willingness to testify against former agent Lindley DeVeccchio

William Weyand Turner of San Rafael, a former FBI agent who wrote books critical of J. Edgar Hoover and became a senior editor of the "New Left" literary and political magazine Ramparts, died Dec. 26 after a long struggle with Parkinson's disease. He was 88.
Mr. Turner worked as an FBI special agent for 10 years until Hoover fired him in 1961 for testifying before Congress, calling for an investigation into the bureau's extensive wiretapping.
As an agent, he testified, he made hundreds of wiretaps on telephones and frequently broke into homes and businesses to plant hidden microphones in what were called "black bag" operations.
In his 1970 book "Hoover's FBI," Mr. Turner alleged that the FBI under Hoover had a misplaced focus on the so-called communist menace and was reluctant to prosecute organized crime.
"For nearly four decades, he (Hoover) stuck his head in the sand while the crime syndicates waxed fat," he wrote.
After leaving the FBI, Mr. Turner worked as a freelance journalist, writing investigative pieces on the JFK assassination. That led to him becoming a part of the controversial assassination investigation led by New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison.
