S. Edmonds, 911, Drugs & Campaign Finance - Scoop: UQ Wire:

Scoop: UQ Wire: S. Edmonds, 911, Drugs & Campaign Finance:

"In an exclusive interview on Saturday, we asked Edmonds if she would deny that laundered drug money linked to the 911 attacks found its way into recent House, Senate and Presidential campaign war-chests, according to what she heard in intelligence intercepts she was asked to translate.

'I will not deny that statement; but I cannot comment further on it,' she told TomFlocco.com, in a non-denial denial.
...........................

'Tom, I’m telling you that not a single newspaper covered what happened to me on Thursday when I went into court,' said the exasperated translator, adding, '[Judge David] Ginsberg kicked everyone out, cut off my lawyer’s arguments and told us ‘we have questions to ask the government’s attorneys that you cannot hear.’ '

Criminal evidence in Edmonds’ explosive case is apparently getting too close to Washington officials, since the former contract linguist also told us she would not deny that 'once this issue gets to be...investigated, you will be seeing certain [American] people that we know from this country standing trial; and they will be prosecuted criminally,' revealing the content of the FBI intercepts she heard indicates that recognizable, very high-profile American citizens are linked to the 911 attacks.

Edmonds implied that legislators and even lobbyists were benefiting from laundered narcotics proceeds in an earlier interview with the Baltimore Sun, '...this money travels. And you start trying to go to the root of it and it’s getting into somebody’s political campaign, and somebody’s lobbying. And people don’t want to be traced back to this money.'

So the Bush administration’s Department of Justice enlisted its taxpayer-funded lawyers to petition a Republican U.S. Appeals Court to suppress Sibel Edmonds’ criminal evidence allegations--linked to a 3,000 death mass murder--in the name of 'state secrets.'

When we asked how many Americans were named in the intercepts, Edmonds said 'There is direct evidence involving no more than ten American names that I recognized,' further revealing that 'some are heads of government agencies or politicians--but I don’t want to go any further than that,' as we listened in stunned silence."
