The Bush administration has a policy of always throwing the lowest ranking guy in a scandal under the bus. In the original Start Trek series, if you were beaming down with Captain Kirk and Spock and we had never seen you before, you were a dead man. In the Bush administration, if there is a scandal involving some of the top players in the White House and a man you've never heard of before, he's the one that's going to get zapped. In this case, it was Kyle Sampson.
But this time, it didn't do the trick. The scandal has grown and it's gotten too close to the president. ABC News is now reporting that Karl Rove was involved in the discussion to fire the prosecutors from the beginning, despite earlier protestations to the contrary.
Even more importantly, the president himself has admitted he was involved. He said yesterday that he talked to Alberto Gonzales about the US attorneys and what should be done. You can watch him admit his involvement here.
Then, he laid out a classic preemptive defense.
This is another standard Bush administration tactic. Knowing that they're lying, they say something that they can come back and technically defend later, even though it is clearly misleading.
A perfect example is what they said about the connection between Iraq and 9/11. They would mention the two things in the same sentence over and over again, but were careful (most of the time, but not all of the time) to not directly say that Iraq carried out 9/11.
Here's an example of the preemptive defense by Dick Cheney:
"If we're successful in Iraq, if we can stand up a good representative government in Iraq, that secures the region so that it never again becomes a threat to its neighbors or to the United States, so it's not pursuing weapons of mass destruction, so that it's not a safe haven for terrorists, now we will have struck a major blow right at the heart of the base, if you will, the geographic base of the terrorists who have had us under assault now for many years, but most especially on 9/11." –
He didn't say Iraq ordered 9/11, but he put them close enough to each other to give a perfectly misleading impression. Why? Because he already knew they didn't do it, but he wanted people to think they did.
In this case, here's the preemptive defense from the President: "I never brought up a specific case nor gave [Alberto Gonzales] specific instructions."
That means I told him generally who to fire and how to fire them. Later, he'll be able to say, "I never lied. I didn't tell him specific cases or give him specific instructions."
Bush admits he was involved in this decision. But it's much deeper than he's letting on. You can tell because he's already laid down the preemptive defense. Plus, Bush loves politics and this is the kind of political hatchet job that he thoroughly enjoys. Policy bores him. Who cares about the levees in New Orleans? So booooring. Bin Laden determined to attack inside the United States? Yeah right, who cares? Time to clear some brush. But politics? That's fun!
Now, that the scandal has indisputably touched Rove, there's only one stop left -- Bush. That's why they have to stop the bleeding. Gonzales has to be sacrificed to call off the dogs. If I'm wrong, Gonzales will stay and they have nothing to worry about. If I'm right, Gonzales better start packing because we know Captain Kirk isn't going down.

1. Of course the President admits he fired the US attorneys. He is the president. They served at his pleasure. He fired them. While there has been a lot of left wing bloviating, there is not yet any evidence that he fired them for an improper purpose. As much as you yell and scream this is simply a president exercising his powers in a legitimate way.

2. Quite frankly I've found this Dept. of Justice firings business very complicated, and a bit boring. Thankfully, Jon Stewart explains it to me in this video:

3. Your cluelessness is only outshown by your utter stupidity. "Even more importantly, the president himself has admitted he was involved." Where to start! First, let's get something clear, grantically, it's "more important" not "Importantly". But second, how does it become a scandal when the President is discussing firing people he has the right to fire? If stupidity were currency, you'd be up there with Buffett. Sadly, however, I'll give you one thing; the Republicans are SO whipped that they'll lose this victory as well.

4. Larry, before Bush, there were people appointed by the President on grounds other than politics, like policy! Just because the president can fire somebody, doesn't mean he should file OUR EMPLOYEES, just so he can carry out his political hachet jobs! Larry, ya want some Democratic prosecutor coming after you just because you're not Democratic? That's how the same crap could work if the other party were in power.
You detracted from your point by making a grammar comment.

5. First, let's get something clear, grantically, it's "more important" not "Importantly".
Larry,
You're such a dipshit. Here you are quibbling about the author's use of English when you misuse the language yourself. As a mater of fact, there is no such word as "grantically". You might look up the word "grammatically" though.
Douche bag.

6. Being the president would be so cool: I could fire any prosecutor who went after my friends or me. I could say things like "nukyular power pants" every day and still be taken seriously. I could have 40% of the United States still convinced that Saddam was responsible for 9-11 even though I've said otherwise
http://thinkprogress.org/2006/08/21/bush-on-911/ And I could bring male prostitutes into the white house and still have the "values voters" on my side. Sweet.

8. Obfuscation is one of Roves most valued talents in this fascist, far right wing, neo-con/military industrial complex, new world order, one party/one economy agenda! He must be rendered nugatory!
Just why is Rove still in the White house? One word comes to mind, cronyism. geoWge has staunchly favored surrounding himself with old time pals, even those from his daddy's era. This practice however has not always worked in his favor. Like other leaders, end of second terms are treacherous times, everything and anything that can bite you in the, err, umm, butt, usually will. This current regime, of it's own making, has provided a plethora of material for just such an event.
Rove may be proven culpable in this situation, the spin master seems a teflon don within his political duties. Those duties seem to be treasonous, if we consider the FACT that his goal, using vitriolic acid to inflame blind followers of an individual, NOT our government. He purposely provides inflammatory rhetoric to further polarize us as a nation, DURING A TIME OF WAR.
HATE is dangerous in the extreme. Just look at the hate they consistently spread, look at who they follow, Anne C. Rush L., FU cHENEY and more. ALL with malice to further divide for political reasons.
Since this latest scandal broke several diverse fabrications rapidly were released to the media, attempt to spin this in their favor. The bottom line, credibility is gone.
WE should be demanding inquiries into possible charges of HIGH TREASON, for all main players in this administration who purposely fabricated a sales pitch to the world which sent our true patriots on the front lines into the preemptive blunder - IRAQ.

9. This all started from the white house. Mr meirs said in an e mail that we must keep the white house out of this in one of her e mails. Also when you read the latest evaluations of each of the USA's you will see that everyone of them were well respected by other attournies, judges as well as their superiors. How then could they be fired because they were under performing? It's political. Ms Meirs also when asked in an e mail how they would explain the firings to the senators who reccommended them to Bush for appointment and were told to tell them they were being fired because of performance. Again when you look at their performance evaluations They got very high scores. So much for under performing. It's political. Period.
A.W. Lee at 9:54PM on Mar 17th 2007
10. Soon cannot come soon enough. How I can't wait to hear the under oath testimony of Kyle and Libby about the "boss".
Bring em on boys.
barry sinrod at 4:45PM on Mar 18th 2007
11. the problem isn't that they were fired, the problem is that he was replacing them without Senate confirmation of any of the appointees. Firing them for political reasons and then replacing the attorneys with individuals who do not have to be confirmed is very disturbing.
A study of reported federal investigations of elected officials and candidates shows that the Bush administration’s Justice Department pursues Democrats far more than Republicans. 79 percent of elected officials and candidates who’ve faced a federal investigation (a total of 379) between 2001 and 2006 were Democrats, the study found – only 18 percent were Republicans. During that period, Democrats made up 50 percent of elected officeholders and office seekers during the time period, and 41 percent were Republicans during that period, according to the study.
"The chance of such a heavy Democratic-Republican imbalance occurring at random is 1 in 10,000."

Subject: forward to those you think should have it
The as small of voice we have hear is its end result when heard total KAOS as: Villas False filings Scandal includes Property fraud, Mail Fraud, Extortion, Tax Fraud, Criminal Consumer Fraud, Securities Fraud and many more you chose along the way they have broken more than you could imagine and paper trail is deadly lets use it.
You were going to send me the public information act letter you have for sample. I know you are busy but I must keep swinging as I’m definitely being swung at. Check out SOS filings from 2000-throught 2007 on Missouri Government website, for all filings you’ll see same crime done June 16th 2000 and March 2004, false filing. We bought closed and had shareholders meetings in April 2000 on closing day April 25th 2000, Alan Blankenship now Circuit court Judge here was our closing attorney and did not file changes nor tell us it would be needed. It should have been dissolved by the time they did it. It was accepted late by Matt’s office right after Alan and Matt met somewhere I can prove on record. I send this Pdfs to fit Matt in time table of cover up of major real-estate fraud, Mail Fraud, Tax fraud, false securities filings, all to cover up an earlier owners bankruptcy fraud.
Matt and Alan are in many organizations together but I will connect that dot at only the right time.
You’ll see what Matt Blunt is afraid of I also have the complaint letter to Postal inspectors as the 2004 filing was flat stolen out of my personal mail box. It would have been impossible for anyone but me to have any corporate meetings in 2003 on behalf of Villas share holders.
According to the filings any banking asset forfeiture from 2002-2007 would have been a crime that be major impact as voluble assets bank accounts contracts and land titles have been transferred I just need Straight lawyer they can not win if I get one with Missouri license I will talk to him and show him how to turn it inside out.
I already have civil issues won out of court and case they turned in motion to dismiss would not be valid. So I just need someone to go to court house or help me write motion to rehear it based on I was verification officer who filed original suit for corporations plus I was listed a individual plaintiff and they could not have spoken for me anyway.
Therefore I can then ask the judge to hand down bench warrants for the crimes and ask Judge to forward to another jurisdiction to be heard as I’m witness against both 39th Circuit Judges in Ricco trial in front of Missouri court of appeals.
There was another Huge Bankruptcy fraud going on at same time that was under indictment and was released for testimony. He and most of the other major players in Branson Development had something to do with corporations we bought. The tax implications and use of political offices and justice departments for personal gain is ungodly.
Those at risk
Matt Blunt Governor Possible Multiple criminal charges and loss career in politics.
Alan Blankenship Judge 38th district possible Multiple criminal charges and loss of license
HCW Principles Branson Landing Developers and Four hundred million more in area.
Dan Ruda Partner with above in multiple venues, Accountant during past criminal actions with Bankrupt assets
John Redford Partner with above three and hundreds at millions at stake hidden during past bankruptcy
Tom Carlson Trustee in above mentioned Bankruptcy, and Mayor of Springfield.
Bank Of America Obvious Reasons, Knowingly aided and abedded
US Bank Obvious reasons.
Hogan Land and Title Knew the real story transferred already sold property again they sold and transferred clear previously
Interval International Knowingly aided and abedded
Eric Eighmy Local Prosecutor
Harry Styron Attorney for several above and many land owners being oppressed for their partners to steal and oppress recovery
Robert C. Woolard Look him Up SEC and his past firm Largest Public held private money brokerage in the country.
These are huge players and I watched him ring the Bell and fund California Power Scandal
Lathrup & Gage Attorneys for Matt Blunt and caught in conflict and Branson City Attorney in Landing Deal
Husch & Eppenberger Attorneys for Ruda that gave phony legal opinion to deceive for Corporation before we bought
Souder & Tate Past local prosecutor False legal opinion to Deceive for fraudulent acts
Many small concert players that aided and abedded some with knowledge and gain some because they falsely believe their partners in crime will elevate them higher in their Cartel
This Cartel of Few large Player Listed above have attracted big dollars to area to hide behind and rapid property value increases have allowed for multiple transaction property sales, to laundered hundreds of Millions of dollars from crimes. Maybe like listed in Sam’s and Bret’s case if they reported loss to SEC where did money go?.
Will we ever know what little Money Hungry Cartels in America Like, Redford’s, Hoffman’s, Ruda’s, Cantonese, Williams, others I’m afraid to name and those they can coerce,, borrow from, promote or buy services from.
If I get an attorney reference I can show them how to open this off earlier action and shove it down all their throats as you would not believe the other big names and connections are going to show up as we depose the criminal elements under RICCO.
Lowell A. Ewalt
By the way Both John Ashcroft and Karl Rove were involved in Major bankruptcy frauds on the public in 1992 the records will bear me out. The problem with congress focus right now on corruption cover up is not about politics its about organized criminal cartels under their protection raping the public of billions.
As Paul Harvey say the Rest of the Story.
That would be to much for American public to take all at once as if this is all true what has telephone and communications interest they have and others as big, that have gotten away with similar to congressmen K-street tactics while others were injured in corrupt courts..
If Anyone wants to be next governor of Missouri get lawyer on this one and he’ll be able to name him along with shout off illegal campaign favors from ruining our country as this one will raise hair of many.
Contact above Court Foundation for Court reform President Yvonne above to reach me.
Bret
My 2007 filing is up and correct and there is no break now in my corporate authority from 2000 to 2007 so all transactions, licenses, loans, tax filings, securities transfers, land transfers, property owners dues collections, licenses leases, credit card money transfers, banking transfers, and all other corporate business was done by imposters of the corporate persona.
Actually everything they have done has turned to crimes against me, our shareholders, the tax paying citizens of America, and Missouri.
It does not have to be proven anymore it is on State record it’s a fact kind of like US banks SEC filings to late to change it.
ALL BECAUSE WE CAN PROVE ONE PIECE OF MAIL WAS STOLEN
How do file complaint with appropriate agencies the impact of the people involved including Matt covering it up in office is big guns. How ever I can put Alan Blankenship the original attorney we had that was dirty in Meeting with Matt at another agency when he was preparing to run for Governor.. They had motive and opportunity and then it happened again later If I would not have figured out the way they did it to sneak it by Secretary of States normal procedures, I would have lost this fight for sure, now I have one for sure.
That case file I forwarded with Motion for stipulation of dismissal could never have happened they had no corporate authority. The case can be opened back up and Ricco counts added right where it is right? At same time ask the judge to move it up to federal court as to the type of counts and previous tampering in this jurisdiction.
Lowell A. Ewalt.
PS should I use Paul Mitchell ? I have his terms email?
But proof not needed have the other thousands of documents will just be preponderance of evidence to prove they operated as cartel. I have two other cases both include real estate I can tie them to prove they used same schemes and justice department and State officials to harm others.
This will be Billion dollars plus more like three billion. And it will include players you did not expect to catch.
,
Your communication is somewhat difficult to follow as you have many letters indicating an audit trail of the transgressions committed against your corporation. I discern that you are in the process of hiring an attorney to undertake your case, but have you considered contacting the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) in your state to support your cause?
Yes, many Americans hate the ACLU for many of their positions but occasionally they do take on the establishment against the little guy, and they will often put great pressure to bear on the legal system.
I intend to publicize your situation in next month's newsletter (May 2007) as this month is already filled to capacity. I'm not sure what good it will do, but we attempt to continually alert Americans to the rip-off of the average American by the power brokers and corrupt politicians, and your case is a prime example.
Best of luck with your legal fight.

Dear Andi Ewalt's father:
I opened this message and I can only read the left had half so what I read does not come
through so I know what is says.
I have moved it as far to the left as my machine will allow me to move.
Let me know what you think and what I should understand?

Abel’s sister called my daughter two nights ago and she is reluctant to say anything to Abel’s sister as she knows that she is already having trouble with his death, as are we and this should explain it. This is enough evidence in Iowa to definitely include an investigation or would used to be. Question is who would take action if the names included these kind of political power brokers, Banks, and maybe the Iowa governor. At minimum he did not do his duty as the same thing happened to us in 2000 and he was suppose to have investigation going. After he got elected the investigation stopped and we were told they could not find us we did not move. My sister in Iowa got same letter as me as she was investor in our purchase of Missouri Company we later found to breaking laws and tried to blow the whistle. Hopefully this will give you enough to understand how my daughter and my other children feel right now as they have witnesses major crimes against their family growing up. I’m disabled veteran and trying to raise them on my own and we are very scared. After you read this information please advise us as we believe Abel’s death was message and we can take no more.
The troubles if you lay them out over last couple of years most people would say is what movies are made of to us we are numb, shocked, sick, and terrorized. My girl is afraid to speak out as she knows what can happen to us when she does. But I have had enough watching what has happened to my children through this is terrible I wish they would just kill me and get it over with, problem is then someone would know as I have been vocal a few times as you can imagine. Abel’s death is exactly ten days after I filed ethics complaint on to high level politicians in Missouri one the governor.
Officer Deisinger My son was beat up in Fayette Iowa as he was jumped in town the size of Nevada walking back to dorm late at night. (Message felt but not got ten quick enough I did not know about it till I got to Iowa). He is also very concerned with his safety, his mom lives there so we have him checked every day. He reported to his coach and athletic director but know one told me he was afraid to worry me. Then I had two guys visit me on the 29th f April that are part of Case in KC about Novation, L.L.C. or so they said. That’s letter to frank whoever came from. I know none of these people they told me there had been three deaths in there case. Couple years ago before my child left for college I had to stay shut up as terrible things would happen to us after I filed any complaints with an agency of some type in Missouri. As we now have evidence on public record of Couple huge Missouri politicians possibly helping to commit crime. The other parties I will send a link and link to Videos my son had on a friend’s web site I made him take down so he would not get hurt. This was terrible message to me I would love to see justice done but I want know more people to die close to my children. My daughter had terrible time at ISU as she was afraid all the time. Know my fourteen year old daughter living in Iowa with her mom is scared as the kids have shared it with here lately.
It gets very sick what we have been through but I was raised in Iowa a wrestler and raised not to quit should I as there is criminal elements in places that can hurt citizens I’m witness in two other cases One RICO against some of same politicians. They have every reason to scare and terrorize my family and I feel as though I live in New York or Chicago in the 50’s when the organizations in the movies could get by with anything, from our end and many residents and witnesses to prove it. When we got back our power had been shout off the bill says the 5/03/07 in the mail box but the local office said it was late last month and turned it off. They told me it was already off so I would have to pay hook up fee. I left check with someone to pay as we had to run up there as you can imagine how we felt.

In my shoes someone killed that boy do I take message and allow my
family to lose everything to corrupt political and public officials for their private banker or do I Speak out?
Here are the level of players trying to keep me from getting this out.
Besides Matt Blunt Now Governor then Secretary of State
Alan Blankenship Circuit Judge
Robert Woolard Principle in Stifel and founders son they control the money 26 billion under management.

We were nothing we had no chance with those deep of pockets they even controlled the Banks try to find lawyer who will do this one? Never too many criminal issues and deep pockets involved.
I did not change the text I went up couple of lines t add names and they changed my txt right in from to my face yet it still is set on HTML I can see it so you may all be breached by Government contractor O’Keeffe.
I did not change the text Officer it is doing it in front of my face if this arrives to you at all I wonder if it has same text or three different types Below is suppose to be different as it is copy and pasted. I have worked with computers for twenty years you should see activity in it just before and after your unexplained drunken death. I will tell you that it is said here that the Dixie mafia runs these hills and that is trade mark to drown victims.
If we have nothing to fear please let us know but even our neighbors will not come be with us as they are afraid something will happen to me at anytime, and yes I’m scared and if you were in our shoes you would be to.
Dear Lowell:
I have seen that Bret has attempted to share thoughts with you that he shared with me since he has slept on the issues.
Now it would seem that his suggestion that you work with the local KC FBI with your concern.
Now as far as the worries I have been years in the past with the serious threats and I was not willing to let that worry me and yet I know that some that were threatened as I was and knew they were took action to relocate.
They are still around those who were not told of any threat were the ones that came up dead.
I have always said if the Bomb me as they said they would I don't have anything to worry about after that and I am not giving up.
I never shared those things with my family I just took it on the chin myself and I was told by a good judge to decide to either fish or cut bait and I said to cut bait would not fit.
Now I do have some additional suggestions yet I would have to do some more investigation before I could decide for my self.
It has nothing to do with your evidence.
I can say that Bret was in a position where he needed to make some review and he did and stuck with his guns so to stick and since things have been turning.
The support is the best thing I know of that will be the thing to rely on.
Now I did not get any letter copy with this nor a PDF so I don't really know just why not.
I do know that Bret and you have similar players as defendants or potential defendants.
You may want to sleep on what you have reviewed the last two days and then check back with those with your same interest as I am and see just what to plan next.
I was not pleased that I had to get horses in and spent must unplanned time to fix fence but as farmers that takes place sometimes and has to come first and immediate.
As you can see the info that Bret shared with me seems to show that he believes and understands just what has and is happening.
The best way to handle any difficult matters is to just keep sleeping upon what you know best and what you plan for the future best act or reaction for the intended result.
Let me know what you think and I would be willing to talk to any of your witnesses yet what ever they tell me we need to put in date time order and identify the evidence as it occurred.
I have never thought that those with these issues were even exaggerating and I know that families are affected by any of the things that take place. It just does not seem to get any where to talk of the stress as it takes away from the business at hand and causes even more concerns for family.
I see that in some of the E-Mails that you sent me reflect that others I am familiar with are copied also and you just need to go forward.
Let me know what you think and what I should understand?

Mr. Ewalt:
Thank you for your willingness to share information, but I guess I am not following the string of communications that you have included.
What exactly do you feel we need to know that may relate to the search for the missing student.

We hope not as there has already been suspicious death over someone who had copies of our file.
But from past news we know all information in your data base maybe important. If we can not find him I think I have not given you my phone number and for obvious reasons not our address.
But if you ever need it my phone number is 417-527-3601
Hopefully our state of confusion over not being able to prosecute white collar crime in Southwest Missouri that may include Matt Blunt current governor and possible corruption target by fire US attorney in Arkansas Bud Cummins’s as National news reports. It’s true rather they were investigating, and firings were as they may say or not.
The following is more info as to the problems Abel’s best friends family is facing, as it is very scary to us I’m sure my daughter has not told Ames police as to her suspicions it is to scary. She said it immediately about the missing person, I know as I was present when she called the Captain that she wanted to know if his note book was there he had kept stories about her in. The first night she called was Monday night she awoke me someone was out side her window at 4:00 AM. There was big boot print under her window in the mud next morning.
Lowell
An attorney that was building a file and had it in his car under seat was taken to the hospital from a Local Bone doctor and was declared dead in Emergency Room and his wife told me I could go get the file as the wrecker had just brought his car home and there was no file under the seat.
To this day it has never shown up.
Now to the PDF I just sent you what happened in the other E-Mail.
Thanks

As you can see enough people have told me about problems lately and all along that I would take this as very serious. I’m sitting by gentleman typing this who has live here for forty years hand he says you know the guys killed that boy don’t you. My answer probably.
We need legal help and law enforcement with out political strings attached to we hope you are it and you will safety on this till answers are found. My cousin is Postal inspector in Iowa he has advised that we move. We would leave behind our whole life and assets. We can not leave as at least one officer of Missouri Corporation must live in Missouri law. But we are scared to purse help also every time we do something major like this happens. What would you do officer and why can an American not enjoy his quiet rights to live anywhere?
They will have to kill me now I guess so if something happens to me it was no accident, If my children were not so deeply knowledgeable about this situation you may have had someone else go postal.
We really do need help.
