Missouri Gov Matt Blunt Has an Email Problem
By Bill W. Wednesday Jan 09, 2008 12:01pm
Here we go again with the missing emails. Just this Tuesday a judge ordered the White House to come clean on its never-ending scandal over something like 10 million missing emails - including 4 years worth deleted by Karl Rove - and now we've got Missouri Governor Matt Blunt being accused of more of the same:
KC Prime Buzz: The former deputy legal counsel to Gov. Matt Blunt sued the governor and four of his top aides Wednesday, alleging a wide-ranging conspiracy to cover up the administration’s activities.
The suit, filed in Jackson County Circuit Court, describes schemes within the governor’s office to destroy public documents, to evade the state Sunshine law by sending text messages on personal Blackberrys and to fire a long-time state employee for political reasons. ...
h/t to Jamie who adds: "Can we label the entire Republican Party as organized crime yet?"

Blunt was elected because he said he was a fine, upstanding, honest, church going Christian Republican.
So much for that
"h/t to Jamie who adds: “Can we label the entire Republican Party as organized crime yet?”"
Yep.
The sad thing is, once again, I am not surprised.
Heck yes we can call the Republican party organized crime. What they are doing is deliberate and they know it. They destroy the evidence which they know will incriminate them. This is exactly what all organized crime groups do.
We gotta get someone to rummage through J. Edgar Hoover's old personal FBI files, and find the one that identifies the 'Godfather' of the republican party.
AKA, 'La Cosa Nostra'.
I hope that all those who elected the 'boy Guv' from those places "where no one else wants to live" are proud of what they have wrought on the state. Seems like we big city types were right after all.
Didn't Rudy Giuliani leave office with something like 2000 boxes of official documents that were stored secretly? Oh, yeah.
Further more, the destruction of those e-mails, in all cases, are proof enough that the Republican's know that they have committed ethical or even criminal acts. One does not just "delete" thousands of e-mails accidentally. The Republican's know what they are doing and I sure wish someone would call them on it.
blunt...
lord god king bufu of the neocon bufu party
blunt's approval rating is very low. he'll be gone soon.
who is this kid .. I've got underwear older than him and they are fairly new.
By the way mr Blunt, emails are never erased, they are on a server
somewhere.I tell ya, Republican's make Al Capone look like a mere amateur.
Wow, unbelievable. Be much the sames with the dems, no doubt.
Blunt, four staffers sued, accused of plot to destroy public records and hide activities from the public.
No! How could this be!
some bodys going to prison over this!!!!!!!!! oh wait wtf am i saying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FBI wiretaps dropped due to unpaid bills AP - 1 hour, 6 minutes ago
WASHINGTON - Telephone companies have cut off FBI wiretaps used to eavesdrop on suspected criminals because of the bureau's repeated failures to pay phone bills on time.
People don't call this the Show Me state for nothing. Show me the criminals. Oh wait they have already shown themselves.
Way to go Ozarkians. Those of you that voted this "good ole boy" into office have shown the rest of us the true depth of your ignorance and stupidity. Go enjoy another beer now.
Slightly OT, but regards Republican corruption:
From today's NY Times:
Ashcroft Deal Brings Scrutiny in Justice Dept.
WASHINGTON — When the top federal prosecutor in New Jersey needed to find an outside lawyer to monitor a large corporation willing to settle criminal charges out of court last fall, he turned to former Attorney General John Ashcroft, his onetime boss. With no public notice and no bidding, the company awarded Mr. Ashcroft an 18-month contract worth $28 million to $52 million.

I don't know I get so much email from the DLC, DCC, MaineDems et al I think we will just flood the investigators with paper with the idea that they won't be able to read it all! The repugs delete so much that the crimes tend to stick out more. I say see who is on the cc and bcc lists and supeona their emails! all the trails can't be obliterated with the volume of emails Rove destroyed.
I bet Blunt has that same look on his face when he is either looking at kiddie porn on the internet or while in the men's room.
Like Bushco, they can delete all the e-mails they like, or try to evade traceablility by using blackberries. won't do any good. ISP's archive everything, and the NSA vacuums all of it up. If prosecutors want the data, all they have to do is subpeona the NSA.

RICO baby, Yeah! 9/11™ Guiliani can 'splain it to them!

And worse you know the economy is screwed when The FBI can't pay their bills.
George "Pappy" Bush...
These guys are doing covertly what the Natioanl socialists in Germany did. They silence opposition and put all their men in power THEN made their move.
They are still putting people in place and we are catching on...
And you guys say "No no no... Conspiracies arn't real..." Yeah, except, when they are eh?
If you believe that these guys are not doing anything criminal, I got three steel buildings brought down by fire to sell ya.
Are you now, or have you ever been, a member of the republican party?
Organized crime? They need to be put on the terrorist watch lists! From the Blog roundup a year ago:
Neil at 26
Gee, I wonder what three buildings you're talking about.
Were these in NYC perchance?
Whoops. Gettin' too close to a prohibited topic.
Okay, that's one creepy photo of Blunt. All he needs is his Joker makeup.
If any sitting governor's going to lose reelection this fall, it'll be this guy. Another boneheaded, corrupt daddy's boy. But given Roy's actions in the past (slipping amendments into a bill to favor Phillip Morris, who his second wife just happened to be the lobbyist for, to name on incident), it's like father, like son.
THeDRiFTeR @ 12:
Well I haven't heard of any democrats caught with children or illiciting gay sex... Where as there are websites dedicated to reporting only pedophilia cases by republicans. Look for it. It's very disturbing.
I'm not a democrat mind you, but I can recognize sincerity and integrity, and the media can spin what they want but their own words on Cspan and such convey their character, and they do it without talking points, often.
Democrats cannot do the same strategies as the repubs, as they are individuals, who no doubt, have been infiltrated by 'fake democrats' who are paid by the republicans to be there. (We know who they are...) Whereas the republicans are putting in yes men. And yes men do what they are told, no questions.
Actually, I would put my money that since Bush Sr is linked to the CIA since 1958, I would suspect there are others who are the senate and congress which are paid for by the CIA.
Look at how they got rid of the only 9/11 Investigator, Cynthia McKinney? Where did all that money come from and how did they get rid of her?
Start answering real questions... Heck start ASKING real questions and this does not become a jumbled mess of emotions, It becomes a crimescene and criminal conspiracy. Think about it.

Again!?
I'm fairly certain his Dad is House Minority Whip Roy Blunt
This would be a problem in the past but now that the US Justice Department has become the GOP Justice Department, no sweat.
repub governors are the farm team of unitary executive theorists

Plenty of corruption in both parties. However, the Dems corruption can't touch the veracity of the Republican variety, for it is tinged with evilness and advanced with false piety.
He looks like one of the foes on my Super Mario Galaxy game.
Holy Shit! He looks more like a defendant at a mass murder trial then a Governor.
Where was the Bates motel again?
Jacquie @ 34:
Yes,this thug`s Dad is minority Whip Roy Blunt who has his shady side also,but I think that information was deleted or burned or shredded, or as Bush would say"spoilagerated." It`s interesting how the use of shredders has become so prevalent under the Rethuglican party.It`s also very interesting that "newspeak" and "doublespeak" seem intricately bound with legalese.
I think it's high time to use the RICO laws against Booshco and the rethugs!

Anyone meeting those criteria moves to the head of the suspect list.
The Republican Harris County DA here in Houston has his own e-mail problem. The story has sex, racism and politicking on county time. The DA is determined to stay, which may help the Houston Democrats to some of their first victories in over 10 years.
"Can we label the entire Republican Party as organized crime yet?"
[...]
"FBI wiretaps dropped due to unpaid bills"
Uh, "organized"????
Seriously. Can't we bring up charges based on RICO laws or something?
Jacquie @ 34:
That is indeed correct. Roy Blunt is Matt's daddy. Don't worry, he's much despised in Missour-ee and Jay Nixon (very good guy) will unseat his smarmy southern Missourah ass and send him back to Springfield to join Ashcroft in a tent revival meetin'.
The Joker
Terrible @ 41:
I was thinking Jack Nicholson in 'The Shining'.
Blue Buddha @ 49:
My thoughts (@ 44), exactly!
Yes, Roy is his dad and he has been getting hand-me-down procedures from BushCo. First Blunt claimed that emails did not qualify as government documents that had to be preserved. When it was shown that emails have been specifically defined as government records that need to be preserved he claimed they were unaware of that so there was no real crime. When one of his staffers pointed out that he had warned them that deleting the emails was against the law they claimed they never saw the message. When a reporter produced a copy of the memo they followed White House procedures, attack the messenger. They fired the staffer and started a smear campaign that may have broken other state laws.

Now I don't want to stereotype or degrade an illness that millions suffer from, but does anyone else ever notice that these crooked politicians always have a crooked eye or a crooked grin? Maybe it has something to do with nerve damage from drug habits? I don't know, it's just an observation I often see when these crooks come out.

RICO the Republicans in 2008!
Is he playing the Joker in the next Batman movie?
Life's been good to me.
Mike Malloy's had it right all along.
Its the: BUSH CRIME FAMILY
Holy shit! Scott Farkus became a governor!?!?
Bet baby Blunt has a wide stance.

Republicans don't really care about the Family ! "
Jacquie @ 34:
Yes the same Roy Blunt who with DeLay and Boener had a Grand Old Party laundering money from state to state.
The Repug Party aka the party of trickle down economics-T.D.E. biggest un-American crime venture in our nations history........excluding stolen elections in 2000 & 2004.
Neil @ 26:
I had been beginning to lose my faith in Godwin. Thanks.
Believe it or not, I recently saw (can't recall the website but it had to do w/ "balancing" a national ticket) that Blunt boy was actually being considered as a possible VP candidate on the republic side.
Please, Lord - as it is spoken ... let it be so!
Sparticus @ 27:
Nice! When I saw the guy's face (above), I first thought it was an Erik Prince story. They both look like they get their hair cut at one of those barbers training institutions.
The republicans have learned that the best defense is to destroy the evidence (it is never too late), and then 'stonewall'. John Mitchell was the stonewall 'master'.
Enjoy what time you have left Blunt because I see you for what you really are and that is a Dirty little Republican Crook but you had a good teacher with your oldman and all, just another little Bush Wanna Be.

LOL!!!!!!
How do these guys live with themselves, do any of them believe in God, even though they all say they are christians.
