The Smoking Gun?
Posted on | May 24, 2007
Greg Palast says he has it, in the form of some of those e-mails the White House says it “lost.” There seems to be a direct reference to the deliberate—and therefore felonious—“caging” of votes in the 2004 election by Tim Griffin, the US Attorney who until last year worked as an aide to Karl Rove:
The Bush-Cheney operatives sent hundreds of thousands of letters marked “Do not forward” to voters’ homes. Letters returned (”caged”) were used as evidence to block these voters’ right to cast a ballot on grounds they were registered at phony addresses. Who were the evil fakers? Homeless men, students on vacation and — you got to love this — American soldiers. Oh yeah: most of them are Black voters.
Why weren’t these African-American voters home when the Republican letters arrived? The homeless men were on park benches, the students were on vacation — and the soldiers were overseas. Go to Baghdad, lose your vote. Mission Accomplished.
How do I know? I have the caging lists…
I have them because they are attached to the emails Rove insists can’t be found. I have the emails. 500 of them — sent to our team at BBC after the Rove-bots accidentally sent them to a web domain owned by our friend John Wooden.
Attorneygate was never about attorneys. It was about the plot to steal elections. Watch video here.
