"KUSA - 9Wants to Know has learned three men in Denver planned to assassinate U.S. Senator Barack Obama during the Democratic National Convention in Denver by sneaking into one of his events and shooting him with a gun hidden inside of a camera, according to federal court records.Nathan Johnson's girlfriend, whom 9NEWS is not naming because she's a juvenile, said it would have to be a suicide mission."

 

I don't know why this hasn't been reported on in the media, but I found this information today, and its concerning. Remember the alleged murder plot against Obama, planned to take place during his acceptance speech? Well, as we all know, the FBI released a statement the next day claiming that there was no evidence of an imminent threat against Obama.

But according to this news story,  http://www.9news.com/news/l ocal/article.aspx?storyid=9 8992&catid=222

the FBI did want to pursue charges, but the investigation was called off by Attourney General Troy Eid, an appointee of Karl Rove.

There are several recent blogs on this info, but only one story on Google's news page: http://www.cqpolitics.com/w mspage.cfm?parm1=5&docI D=hsnews-000002944767

Eid is denying any lax work on his part, but I think the whole situation still sounds suspicious. Why would you NOT press charges against people who make a threat on a public official? Who is he to determine (above the inquiries of the FBI) that such a threat would definitely not be pulled off?

 

Here's one of several blogs about the story:

The reason I even found this story was because I did a quick search of "Obama,Rove" since Obama referred today to McCain's campaign as a "Karl Rove campaign."

The Rethuglican Judges (none / 0)

JJ,

Goddamn good work.  I remember Rove stating his strategy to have the rethuglicans in power for the "next 40 years."  That was several years ago.  At the time I didn't think part of the strategy would be stacking the court with corrupt judges.  It all makes sense now.  I started thinking about it when the news broke about fireing the Fed. Prosecuters that were not "Loyal Bushies".  Think about it. If only 6 prosecuters were unwilling to do the bidding of this bunch of fascists', what about the 1100 or more that have been appointed and not removed?  It is a very fucking scarey senerio.  Kudo's to you for pulling this together.

I hope this does not come to having to go underground to overthrow a sick, out of control gvt.  The odds are against that, but the posibility is there. It may have to be done.
