Report: AIPAC Case Dropped

The AIPAC case -- which provided the backdrop for the current flap over Jane Harman's wiretapped conversation -- has been dropped, reports the Jewish Telegraphic Agency:

A source with intimate knowledge of the case against two ex-AIPAC staffers accused of passing along classified information says the case has been dropped.

Keith Weissman, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee's former Iran analyst, and Steve Rosen, its former foreign policy chief, were charged under a rarely used section of the 1917 Espionage Act that makes it a crime for civilians to receive and distribute closely held defense information. Both men were later dismissed by AIPAC, with the organization claiming the two had violated its rules; Rosen, in turn has filed a multi-million dollar lawsuit against AIPAC.

Federal prosecutors reportedly had been considering dropping the criminal case in the wake of a number of recent judicial decisions that make the prosecution more difficult. Among these was an appeals court rejection of a prosecution request to review the trial judge's order that prosecutors make the case that the defendants harmed the United States and not merely benefited Israel. Some Democrats see the case as a piece with Bush-era efforts to expand government secrecy powers, but the Post quoted its sources as saying that the review would have occurred whether or not Barack Obama had won election as president.

More on this and its significance in a little while...

I do not know anything about this story, although there appears to be an intentional, deliberate and powerful lack of Transparency, 'Oversight and Accountability' and seemingly as mandated within our US Constitution, Bill of Rights.

Can anyone relay to me Washington Post, Joe Davidson e-mail address. GAP,NWC AND POGO no longer post my blog comment replies and accompanied with innappropriate and seemingly dishonest excuses and my current recent re-posting on GAP may again disappear soon.

House Members Call For Whistleblower Protection
Your Question / Comment (Preview) Axel - May 1, 2009 11:46 AM
TPM, As you most likely have Washington Post, Joe Davidson contact info, please forward the following to the Washington Post, Joe Davidson.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Dear Mr. Dratch and your seemingly fellow corrupt members at the NWC, GAP and POGO.

Please do not have this corrupt Legislation go forward as for just several reasons and as you and the seemingly corrupt Mr. Stephen M. Kohn and Mr. Tom Devine fully know that

1) it will not allow last claims and as mandated in all forms of law, US Constitution, Bill of Rights and all proper and forthright 'Teaching Principles'.

2) It will certainly alow the Sabersky v DOJ to exclude all filings and with serious abuse upon all Whistleblowers and their Cases and any Attorney whom represents them.

Thank you for your time an dconsideration.

Sincerely,
Axel
Axel V. Sabersky

OSC Correspondence e-mail to Devine and Kohn

Dear Mr. Tom Devine, 4/30/2009Dear Mr. Stephen M. Kohn, I do not think it appropriate to address you as I have been addressed as Hi Tom and Hi Steve, although I was apparently hoodwinked by both Mr. Devine and Ms. Corrine Kohn as I appreciated TRUTHFUL kind thoughts and expressions. Please note that my following blog comment reply was immediately removed after the mention of your comment has been posted. Please note that it would also fit todays NWC, Mr. Richard Renner Article of (..privilage ...supreme court (death penalty).. and final sentence of first ammendment) and his NWC resume, any abuse and/or pedofiles in the hierarchy of Big Brother and Sisters and all other corruption within all his other Organizations? Hopefully you will post my blog comment reply. I will post on NWC after I return from a few errands. Hey, Mr. Stephen M. Kohn, how about your direct e-mail, especially as you and your NWC and KKC Law firm have used my name in your 11/2003
testimony and the severe abuse I took from Congressman Jane Harmon In my presenting her with your Testimony as seemingly requested and/or required. Thank you both for your time and consideration. Sincerely,AxelAxel V. Sabersky ---------------------attached bog comment reply to your Articles of 4/30/2009-------------- Please allow me with this on subject applicable blog comment reply to your GAP Article to remove my advocacy from your seemingly hateful, rotten, dishonest, seemingly fraudulent, disingenuous, lying and corrupt endeavors against 'Whistleblowers' and against the proper and forthright, respect and regard of our US Constitution, Bill of Rights and our Declaration of Independence endeavors towards Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness for All.Please note my apologies for any insenseativity and especially as it is and remains my intent to not offend anyone. Please note that I have for many years and sadly confirm that in my view Mr. Tom
Devine was our/the Whistleblower last and best hope for the above paragraph and 'Whistleblowers'. Sadly and unfortunately and significant dissappointment.Thank you and all for your time and consideration.

In my previous blog comment that was inadvertantly posted, I would prefer to change the word pedaphile to innappropriate and/or alleged criminal behavior.

Please note that GAP, NWC and POGO have ceased to post my blog comment replies and with inappropriate excuses and allegations.

These posts will probably be removed by morning from these seemingly corrupt Organizations.

Dear Mr. Tom Devine, 4/30/2009
Dear Mr. Stephen M. Kohn,

Should it be received and/or expected as a courtesy to you both and/or your Organizations ecetra, I will gladly oblidged Radack with my intended comments on her dailykos neverending self proclaimed and self indulgent comments should I recieve a request.

As you both well know, I am KINDLY forbidden to further contact her, AND AS the 'WHISTLEBLOWER' and at THE GAP // WHISTLEBLOWER SUPPORT NETWORK.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,
Axel

Dear Ms. Radack, 4/30/2009

I have received your e-mail that that may have a view that is somewhat unexpected saddened and dismayed. 1) Please note GAP and NWC Whistleblower Support network that are basically without merit and empty if not out right lies, 2) Please recall your former? Client as you state, Lindh and the recepient of the GAP Ridenhour Award, who proudly states and claims his 30 year tenure and the head of the US Death Penalty Department that was and is used as a real threat against your client and is also an illegal application against your client and as a gag order, 3) Please note GAP, NWC and POGO continued support for many prominent US Legislatures and many 20 and 30 years employees have done more against 'Whistleblowers' and the Law and if not outright traitors to 'Whistleblowers' and our US Constitutional, Bill of rights Democracy ecetra and in their Jobs and receive the Highest 'Whistleblower' Awards, with seemingly unending Support, communication, praise and
all other accomodations including employment and/or other paid work and/or legal support work and many and real, proper and forthright 'Whistleblowers' presumably like me receive abuse, continually ignored, dissmissed!!!!!!!!! lied to and pushed off the bus so to speak and hopefully not under the bus. 4) many other eallegations of well known and possibly and/or presumably and/or complicit seemingly dangerous 'Ignoring the Whistleblowers' upon request!!!!!!!!!

My apologies for this quickly, frustrated, impromptu, exasperated reply. Also my apologies for any insensativities, should you preceive any. Also, I hope you recall it is not my intent to offend anyone and I hope you are not offended.

I will not include you in any future, if any, courtesy e-mails unless you request and with Mr. Devine knowledge and permission. I will bcc tomd and Mr. Kohn a a copy of this e-mail.

Sincerely,
Axel

Dear Mr. Tom Devine, 4/29/2009


From my recollection of just some of your past communication with me is the following;


1) To my recollection, in just this one area, from 1) WPA Legislation would accommodate me and may reinstatement with full allocation to be made whole back pay ecetra, then to 2) WPA for same as one with a security clearance as similar to my case 3)Then to With or without PA for a Discrimination Filing 4) then to Only with PA with a Discriminatory filing with conditions. Plus all the in-between ones.


Would the best contribution towards Whistleblowers would be for GAP,NWC and POGO to close their doors that would seemingly close the seemingly corrupt GAP, NWC and POGO Entities!!!!!!!!! and quit mentioning their false and dishonest effort towards 'Whistleblowers'??!!!!!! Why not??!!!!!!!


What happened Tom??!! Did you Sell Out??!! I was hoping for the 'Change We can Believe In' and as I mentioned throughout that you are the lasT best hope for all.


I know and believe I was correct and have all the proof as you well know. What happened Tom?? Why have you changed from proper and forthright application of law endeavors and in accordance of all proper and forthright 'Teaching Principles' both Domestic and International and in our US Constitution, Bill of Rights and our hopes and endeavors within our Declaration of Independence.


As you are our last hope, hopefully you will review and re-consider.


Thank you for your time and consideration.


Sincerely,

Axel

Dear Mr. Tom Devine, 4/29/2009

Dear Mr. Stephen M. Kohn,


As a brief further mention that you and Mr. Kohn, I am sure must know and comprehend is that without the full and complete retroactive and/or re-open cases and especially 'Whistleblower' cases is that it could also easily lead to exclusion of evidence, conflict of interest and serious retaliation and/or disbarment upon Whistleblower Attorneys and a complete violation of Law and ethics thereof, to mention just a few additional concerns aside from seriously and overwhelminlgy prejudicing a case against a Whistleblower.


With your mentioned meetings reference, I am surprised this was not mentioned as it seemingly and/or presumably would and should clearly save an abundance of meetings.


Thank you and all for your time and consideration.


Sincerely,

Axel

As these blog comment reply posts have held for a few minutes, please allow me to include that in my Radack dailykos comment to Radack it would have been further mentioned that it is well known from my recollection and radack and other highly esteemed knowledgeable professionals stipulations that Lindh was a 'young growing kid' whom committed 'harmless errors' and upon retreat was from 'harmless errors' was abused the former 'Wrongdoers Administration'.

Posted by: Axel | April 30, 2009 at 11:49 PM

I also would have mentioned something to the effect that Radack should immediately get and petition her peers within the seemingly corrupt Whistleblower Advocate Oragnizations of GAP, NWC and POGO and the seemingly corrupt Whistleblower Advocates in our entire US Executive, Legislative and Judicial Branches of our Government to immediately have Lindh receive an immediate review and consideration and release.

Dear Mr. Blaylock, 4/30/2009

Thank you and all for your time and consideration.

How does this affect the case against Representative Jane Harman for the non-assistance she gave in not trying to get their case favored treatment in return for something (a committee chairmanship) that was not given to her?

user-pic

I don't think it matters whether she did anything. She took the call and offered, or agreed, to assistance.

user-pic

Since when is talking a crime?
What happened to "freedom of speech"?

Harman's best defense is: "I was lying to AIPAC when I said I would help, I never intended to give them any help on this case."

How can anyone, even a sitting US Representative, be held accountable for what they say when it is not followed up by any actions?

If that were the case, every US Representative would be just as guilty as Harman.
.

user-pic

Foolish DOJ, didn't you know it's legal to spy for Israel?

Why don't we just rename ourselves West Israel and get it over with?

user-pic

Why has no one mentioned and as reported on globalresearch.ca that there are allegations that there is documented evidence and/or trying to come forward that Isreal personnel was amoug those who tortured with the US personnel within the former Bush Administration seemingly 'Coalition of the willing' at Abu Grahb and/or other Locations (and aside from decades of allegations Domestic and foriegn)?

user-pic

Is it correct that Representative Jane Harmon took a ubinduced volumtary oath as a US Congresswoman and then as a Democratic Congressional duly sworn Representative pleged a to the former Bush and his Administration to keep secret Torture which is a clear violation of our US Constitution, Bill of Rights and Democracy and her duly sworm oath to the 'We the People' US Congress?

Is it correct that aside from the seemingly continued dishonest hoodwinking retorich from Main Stream Media and from all, seemingly including President Obama and his entire Executive, Legislative and Judicial Branches of our 'We the People' Government that the facts are that Secrets and Torture are and have been fully vetted and Identical and/or worse than the former Bush Administration and as fully testidied in the recent past 100 Days in all US Courts, including the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals from the US AG Holder/Obama Administration??!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

user-pic

should read.....fully testified in the recent past 100 days.........

user-pic

oh well then that makes all the difference.

please stop subjecting everyone to your incoherent ravings. nobody actually reads what you type/copy/paste.

user-pic

Is it correct and as you provide no factual re-butal comprehension to your remarks, I presume you concur that Obama and our Executive, legislative and Judicial branches of our 'We the People' Us Government has not created a type of;

--continued unwarranted illegal/legal Secrets and Torture, fully vetted and identical and/or worse than the Bush/Obama Administration.

and these other concerns I found from a notable professsor on the Globalresearch.ca website.

-- an imperial enterprise presided over by a war cabinet engaged in unbridled militarism, aggressive wars and occupation with a budget well above $1 trillion annually;

-- a bogus democracy under a homeland police state apparatus;

-- an anti-labor job destruction offensive, from 800,000 - one million a month since his inauguration, compared to FDR creating employment for most workers and reviving the national spirit; and

-- a criminal cabal in charge of the greatest ever wealth transfer in history - from the public to the top 1%, mainly powerful corrupt Wall Street institutions.

I would like you to share your views.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

user-pic

What laws has the Obama Administration passed which support your claims?
.

user-pic

Johann, my apologies and especially where my blog comment replies may be perceived and as not as formidable as would be preffered.

Please note that my 100% Wrongly decided 'Whisltleblower" Case files of over 10 years ago are continuing to be used and at will against any and all Judicial Cases especially those of substantial and overwhelming merit that are trying with seemingly great Integrity, Fidelity and Bravery (CIA, FBI ecetra) to uphold our US Constitution, Bill of Rights, Declarations and Habeas Corpus ecetra.

Please and importantly note that a improper WPA would also seemingly and effectively block 'We the People' from the expected Legislative and Judicial access. Please note that my chain of command, whom I immediately contacted, Senator Kennedy, (within several weeks of my wrongly decided 4/2002 FEDCIR and unresponded to Supreme Court filing) and subsequesntly the then US AG John Ashcroft Executive Order and mandate that US Federal Employees may not contact their Senatorial and Congressional Representatives, subsequently on about 10/2002 Senator Kennedys Office said he would not hear me and would have no knowledge of me and my case files that I previously sent his office upon his office request. (This is just one area of general specific communication).

I have followed your blog comment replies for many years. Upon your discretion and as a suggeston is and remains that you call Mr. Tom Devine at GAP if you are an advocate of a proper and forthright WPA.

Also, Mr. Devine at his discretion may call and/or e-mail me and/or provide you with my e-mail address if that would be of further assistance to you within your concerns.

Please note that generally I expect that we are all continuing within the faith for the hope for the 'Change We Can Believe In'.

(see President Obama written pledge towards Whistleblowers and Briefing Book and his abundance of promises, pledges and the seemingly many contradictions and within his ommissions of the WPA from the Stimilus Bill and his stance within his Obama//AG Holder Testimony, 9th Circuit and seemingly all other Courts in the past 100 days that the illegal/legal secrets are and have been fully vetted (Congressional//Senatorial??)(many media allegations of continued torture, (deaths?? and death squad allegations??)) and are identical to the former (Illegal) Bush Administration)(or worse and/or now a seemingly and continued Obama/Bush Administration and/or worse?).

So the message to the public is it is perfectly fine to access U.S. classified intelligence and pass that intelligence onto foreign officials.

so if I was a member of a Pakistani pac group I could access U.S. classified intelligence having to do with India or any other nation and pass it on to Pakistani officials. I get it. Business as usual.

Just can not understand if this was not a crime why has Larry Franklin been convicted?
