U.S. Attorney General linked to cover-up in House of Death mass murder

By Bill Conroy
Online Journal Contributing Writer

October 17, 2005—The ongoing cover-up of a U.S. government informant's participation in mass murder in a Mexican border town extends to the highest level of the U.S. Justice Department, recently obtained public documents show.

Court testimony from DEA Administrator Karen Tandy confirms that the attorney general at the time, John Ashcroft, was briefed on the U.S. prosecutor's and federal agents' complicity in the murders. However, to date, no one has been prosecuted for these "House of Death" homicides.

The informant helped carry out the slayings of a dozen people—all tortured, murdered and buried in the backyard of a house in Juárez, a sister city to El Paso, Texas. The murders occurred between August 2003 and mid-January 2004 while the informant was under the watch of federal agents and a U.S. prosecutor. The U.S. law enforcers allegedly allowed the homicides to occur in order to make a drug case against a narco-trafficker.

Tandy's testimony reveals that the trail of the cover-up extends from the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents who handled the informant, to the U.S. Attorney's Office in San Antonio, to the administrator of the DEA and top officials within ICE, to the top gun in the U.S. Department of Justice in Washington, D.C.

(Following is an excerpt from Tandy's House of Death-related court deposition—which was filed in August of this year in federal court in Miami. She is being interviewed by Gonzalez' attorney, Richard Diaz.)

1. Score another crime for Ash-hole.

Maybe he thought that folks wouldn't notice this small-time mass murder, because the invasion of Iraq was mass murder on a more spectacular scale?

[Seansky]

2. ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, is there anyone, just one person in this admin

that has any scruples or a single, just a little one at least, moral value or even a tiny little respect for humankind???

[EST]

3. Certainly not ol' sore eagle asscrack.

The mafia took over the US government on the death of Bobbie Kennedy.

13. Hmm. That would explain an awful lot, wouldn't it.n.t

[PinkTiger]

5. Let me just state this is not something new or even unique.

The FBI and federal prosecutors often allow informants to commit crimes as long as they comply when needed to provide testimony in a high profile case.
I know of one case here in SW Missouri where an FBI informant has been allowed to break out of prison and police custody not ONCE but Three times in order to do their dirty work for them. This same informant was a hit man for the justice department and committed a murder for the justice department to cover up another crime connected to money laundering by the government. I'm not sure the Justice Department told him to commit the murder -- I think he was just supposed to scare the guy -- but he is a murderer by nature and probably couldn't help himself. The murder had his MO all over it, and he was in town at the time, so it obviously his work.
Two men who were innocent were framed by the FBI and are now doing time for this murder, so that this informant could be free to do what they wanted done.
The FBI will never be found complicit in this crime. The evidence has been destroyed. People have died.
Just another reason to hate our government.

6. very scary

and of course when the alleged/suspected criminals are in charge of the evidence, justice will not be served.

Still waiting for these folks to solve the Anthrax cases.
:boring:

[indepat]

10. If there is, that one person will set the record straight by exposing all

[FreedomAngel82]

11. Obviously not

To be in this administration you must be a murder. I wonder if Condi has killed anyone. :shrug:

[nadinbrzezinski]

4. Why is this not shocking to me

Juarez Cartel movement of drugs, and the DoJ... hmmm I think I can connect them dots. Them are not nice dots eitehr

8. Nooooooooo!!! Lalalalalalala---I can't HEAR YOU! WACO, Janet RENO!!!!!

Elian Gonzalez!!!!! Waaaaah, waaaah, waaaaaaaah! CLINTON's PEEEEEEEEEEENIS!!!!!!!!!!!

No, I have not gone mad, just giving you a taste of the GOP response should this matter gain any mainstream traction!

[librechik]

9. Oh, no--are we criminalizing politics again??

I have to apologize for making all those poor Republicans commit all these crimes. I'm sure I would have done it myself, given half a chance!

But the real crime here is how us stupid Democrats can't refrain from pointing at a crime and saying "Ashcroft did that!" when it's clear he did it. If we would just keep our mouths shut about all this crime, it simply wouldn't be happening.

Oh, and La la la, I can't hear you!

[bonito]

12. This is so insane

I can't believe I wake up in this same world every day.

[converted_democrat]

21. My hubby and I were talking about that last night, He said-" It's like

living in a bad episode of the Twilight Zone."

[shance]

14. Would this have anything to do with the death of hundreds of girls

in and around Juarez and the border?

[mikefromwichita]

15. This sort of thing........

has been the norm for at least 40 years regardless of who sits in the Oval Office or who is AG.

[shance]

16. What, mass murder is the *norm* for those sitting in the Oval Office?

LOL!***

I guess when in trouble, just make it sound "normal" and that "everyone does it".

[ngGale]

17. Holy Crap...

damn...:scared:

[lovuian]

18. WHOAH!!!

:nuke: No wonder he left!!!

[shance]

19. This would make sense how all of a sudden Ashcroft was gone.

No news, no nothing. Just disappeared and resigned with little fanfare.

Like Gingrich after he got caught with his pants down having an affair with his PAID intern while he had the audacity to impeach Clinton and try to ruin his presidency.

22. I work my a** off and pay income tax so these jerk-offs can do this crap?

They're taking my good money and using it for evil ends.
