If Eric Holder, the Department of Justice and the President of the United States can not get a hold of the smoking hot Sibel Edmunds allegations about corruption, possible treason, espionage and blackmail and do a credible job of investigation, what is now only alleged, will eventually blow up, facts and rumors raining down like chunks of concrete and rebar, seriously injuring  the current administration as well as burying for good the hopes of the last one to be vindicated by history for their infamous behavior.

Edmunds, after more than seven years of steadfast claims of incredible goings on between Turkish intelligence and high ranking U.S. officials is finally getting a little more visibility. She appeared in August and an Ohio court and repeated many of her allegations under oath. She gave a major interview to the American Conservative magazine, again making clear what went on in the Bush administration.  Marc Grossman, for example, the third ranking official in the State Department, does special favors for Turkey, where he was Ambassador from 1994-1997 [that would be the Clinton/Christoper era] and receives sacks of cash in return.

SIBEL EDMONDS: During my work with the FBI, one of the major operational files that I was transcribing and translating started in late 1996 and continued until 2002, when I left the Bureau. Because the FBI had had no Turkish translators, these files were archived, but were considered to be very important operations. As part of the background, I was briefed about why these operations had been initiated and who the targets were.

Grossman became a person of interest early on in the investigative file while he was the U.S. ambassador to Turkey [1994-97], when he became personally involved with operatives both from the Turkish government and from suspected criminal groups. He also had suspicious contact with a number of official and non-official Israelis. Grossman was removed from Turkey short of tour during a scandal referred to as “Susurluk” by the media. It involved a number of high-level criminals as well as senior army and intelligence officers with whom he had been in contact.

Another individual who was working for Grossman, Air Force Major Douglas Dickerson, was also removed from Turkey and sent to Germany. After he and his Turkish wife Can returned to the U.S., he went to work for Douglas Feith and she was hired as an FBI Turkish translator. My complaints about her connection to Turkish lobbying groups led to my eventual firing.

Grossman and Dickerson had to leave the country because a big investigation had started in Turkey. Special prosecutors were appointed, and the case was headlined in England, Germany, Italy, and in some of the Balkan countries because the criminal groups were found to be active in all those places.

And this, almost, but not quite, unbelievable:

GIRALDI: So the network starts with a person like Grossman in the State Department providing information that enables Turkish and Israeli intelligence officers to have access to people in Congress, who then provide classified information that winds up in the foreign embassies?

EDMONDS: Absolutely. And we also had Pentagon officials doing the same thing. We were looking at Richard Perle and Douglas Feith. They had a list of individuals in the Pentagon broken down by access to certain types of information. Some of them would be policy related, some of them would be weapons-technology related, some of them would be nuclear-related. Perle and Feith would provide the names of those Americans, officials in the Pentagon, to Grossman, together with highly sensitive personal information: this person is a closet gay; this person has a chronic gambling issue; this person is an alcoholic. The files on the American targets would contain things like the size of their mortgages or whether they were going through divorces. One Air Force major I remember was going through a really nasty divorce and a child custody fight. They detailed all different kinds of vulnerabilities.

FBI Veteran Executive Calls For Special Counsel Investigation, Prosecutions in Sibel Edmonds Case

Details panic inside the Bureau, executive effort to ‘keep this whole thing quiet’ when matter first came to light in 2002

Further confirms FBI translator/whistleblower’s allegations, credibility…

BradBlog is drawing from a recent interview done of John M. Cole, an 18 year veteran of the FBI, by Peter B Collins. It’s worth reading — and asking every congressional representative you have to read it as well.

And I would love to see, especially with the allegations that Sibel has come out with, her allegations — which I believe are in fact true, I have no reason to doubt what she’s saying — I would love to see somebody take that, a Special Counsel or whatever, some group of people that you could trust, have them investigate those allegations and have people’s feet held to the fire. Have them be held accountable for their actions — and prosecuted if they’ve done wrong.

You know, no one’s above the law, and no one should be above the law. You know, it really irritates me that people are getting away with murder, in some cases. They should not be allowed to get away with that. There needs to be accountability. And that’s what I’d love to see.

And I’d love to see Sibel finally have her day in court, where she can come out and say what she wants to say, and she can be compensated for all the wrong-doing that they did to her. I mean, she’s an exceptional person, and she’s a patriot, and she should not have been treated the way she’s been treated. That’s what I’d like to see.
