1. Ugh! No more Flocco posts!!!
The guy is a discredited idiot!

Where was is apology for the "Katherine Harris died in a plane crash" story?

That was an unforgiveable fuckup.

3. Mr. Syzmanski, Sir?

You mean the proprietor of "The Arctic Beacon"?

A confirmation from that source is nothing to crow about, too put the thing mildly indeed....

4. It'll look legit when it's verified.
The link you provided isn't willing to say anything about legitimacy.

9. At least the story points out some errors in the Flocco story...
.. and the part about 'run-away juries' is most interesting.

May be bullshit, but then again....

24. actually
i was confusing Tom Flocco with Daniel Hopsicker who is another controversy publisher, but seems that he may end up having some credibility.

Al Martin I don't trust, Alex Jones I don't trust, Flocco, I recognize the name, but I can't remember anything he has said. One could probably scan some articles and figure out if he is on the level pretty easily.

But an interesting point - bristeling the freeps as a tactical measure.

15. Very strange story.
Seems that it was such an easily verifiable story to refute...what purpose, other than besmirching his reputation, would he publish it?

I did think, at one time, he was investigating Daley's machine in Chicago...didn't he have a grand jury there? Or was that wrapped up?

17. He was a US Attorney out of Chicago
and Flocco et al. seem to think he never left.

18. Didn't he have a GJ going there?
Is Floco conflating the 2?

19. All I can say is remember the Heinlien quote...
"The truth of a proposition has nothing to do with its credibility. And vice versa."

also, what's that old chestnut - "The best way to lie is to tell the truth.. just not all of it"?

in the fullness of time....

21. Plame investigation is before a Wash DC fed grand jury. Any indictments
as a result of that investigation would be issued by the DC grand jury, not by a Chicago grand jury.

25. Yeah, some folks apparently don't understand that Fitz is the special
prosecutor appointed by the DOJ to the Plame case which is before the Wash DC fed grand jury. Thus it doesn't matter that he's from Chicago: in the Plame investigation he's not acting as the Chicago US attorney but as the DOJ's special prosecutor.

Thus a Chicago grand jury simply doesn't have jurisdiction in the Plame investigation and cannot issue indictments pursuant to the Plame investigation conducted in DC by special prosecutor Fitzgerald.
