Specter's Blanket Amnesty on the NSA scandal.


Jack Cafferty may be the only person (other than this guy) in the world going 'ballistic' over news that Senator Arlen Spector has worked out a deal that allows the white house to get off scott free over the NSA spying issue. Click here for video from Crooks & Liars.

It seems this all started a while back when Spector sent this letter to Vice President Dick Cheney. It was full of tough talk, so much so that Cafferty told his audience that Spector "might be all that is standing between us and a full-blown dictatorship in this country."

Cafferty's tone changed after Spector's interview with Wolf Blitzer.

"What an idiot I am. I actually thought at the time Senator Specter was going to exercise his responsibility to provide some congressional oversight of the executive branch, you know, see if the White House is playing by the rules. Silly me."

What's great about Cafferty's analysis is that he comes on Blitzer's show to roast Spector over his interview and sandbags (intentionally?) Wolf for not getting Spector's intent.

Blitzer seems clueless in his interview that Spector backed off his sharp criticism of the President. Blitzer punctuates his interview with "wow those are strong words," but fails to listen or analyze the responses he gets from the Senator.

Crook & Liars does a better job asking "is Spector really mad?"

"He says the FISA statute has been violated, but won't say that the President broke the law. He says the President doesn't have a blank check, but when Wolf asked him about punishment-he called it a political issue. Cheney uses Hatch to go behind his back and Arlen doesn't mind at all. .. I'm a bit under the weather-so what do you all think?"

Spector's deal is then summed up aptly by Cafferty.

"Anyone involved in the current secret NSA spying program without a court order would be given blanket Amnesty.-very courageous Senator Specter. Why would they need amnesty if what they are doing is legal?--It boggles what's left of my mind."

Boggles indeed.

IT'S ABOUT MURDER OF THREE SOUTH DAKOTANS TIED TO MY US DEPT OF JUSTICE, OFFICE OF INSPECTORS GENERAL COMPLAINT.


IT'S ABOUT THE WIRETAPPING OF SD SENATOR TOM DASCHLE'S CAMPAIGN IN NOVEMBER OF 2004.


THE STORY IS FOUND BY doing a google on "tommythebug" and "conspiracy central" or "tommythebug" and "conspiracy cafe".....where I put it all down.


Oddly enough, now I got to file a section 1983 lawsuit in Sioux Falls, SD, Federal District court.


CHENEY AND HIS OFFICE OF PLANS USED NSA WIRETAPPING TO COORDINATE DOD CONTRACTORS TO "WHACK OUT WITNESSES" TO A DASCHLE SPONSORED CONGRESSIONAL HEARING LOOKING INTO THE ROYAL CANADIAN MOUNTED POLICE ARREST WARRANT FOR FORMER MIAMI FBI AGENT TERRY NELSON'S "CALI COCAINE DRUG PIPELINE" IN MONTANA.


THIS OCCURRED IN THE 90'S. THE DRUG MONEY GOT LAUNDERED INTO BUSH'S 2000 CAMPAIGN.


NOW YOU KNOW...WHY CHENEY WHACKED OUT RICH GORDON (DASCHLE'S EX CHIEF OF STAFF) IN SOUTH DAKOTA.
