Subject: Impeach Bush for Election Fraud, A "High Crime" in a
Constitutional Democracy
Michael Collins: Did Bush Commit Election Fraud?
Gonzales Story - Smoking Gun #1
By Michael Collins
“Scoop” Independent News, 23 April 2007
Washington, DC http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/HL0704/S00350.htm
Part 1 of a 2 part series
There is sufficient evidence in the public domain to strongly
suspect that Bush committed election fraud in the handling of the
U.S. Attorney firings.
Before examining the evidence, it’s important to know the
difference between the contrived construct of voter fraud and
election fraud, a very real phenomenon.
A Critical Distinction: Voter versus Election Fraud
Lorraine C. Minnite, PhD of Barnard College, Columbia University
makes the distinction in the introduction to her comprehensive study:
Voter fraud is the “intentional corruption of the electoral process
by the voter.” …willingly giving false information to establish
voter eligibility, and knowingly and willingly voting illegally or
participating in a conspiracy to encourage illegal voting by
others. All other forms of corruption of the electoral process …
(by) elected or election officials, candidates, party
organizations, advocacy groups or campaign workers (is)… election
fraud.
Minnite points out there were only 24 convictions or guilty pleas
(page 9) for voter fraud at the federal level between 2002 and
2005. That’s of real interest since the White House has an
orchestrated campaign to promote the notion that this is a national
epidemic.
While zero occurrences of voter fraud would be admirable, 24 hardly
constitute an epidemic. The contrived voter fraud epidemic is used
as justification for voter identification laws in at least 22
states which keep minority and poor voters away from the polls. The
voter identification requirements, just one example of Department
of Justice voter suppression, create a barrier to voting because
the many minority voters lack the required identifications. Even
the former head of the Department of Justice Voting Rights division
agrees with the political use of voting laws since 2001.

Enough on voter fraud, whether real or contrived. Election fraud is
the subject right now, the ultimate corruption of the electoral
process.
New Mexico Meltdown
New Mexico U.S. Attorney David Iglesias is at the center of what
may become a constitutional crisis.
Cong. Heather Wilson (R-NM) trailed her Democratic opponent in the
first congressional district. She needed help. It appears that she
requested a boost from U.S. Attorney Iglesias in the form of a
timely pre election scandal involving a prominent Democrat. That’s
how Iglesias read her phone call concerning a pre election indictment.
Sen. Pete Domenici, (R-NM) called Iglesias as well. According to
Iglesias, there was a clearly implied request for a pre midterm
Democratic sacrifice at the altar of election injustice. Iglesias
reports that when he refused on the grounds that he lacked evidence
(one of those minor details that tends to annoy those in power),
Domenici simply stayed on the phone … silent.
Iglesias was gone in a heartbeat for not cooperating with a
prosecution that would influence the 2006 midterm elections in his
state. But who made the decision? Fingers were pointed but nothing
stuck until last week. The Albuquerque Journal reports that during
talks with Sen. Domenici, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales refused
to fire Iglesias unless the president gave the OK.
Well, Iglesias was fired wasn’t he? Gonzales denied culpability,
inferring his DOJ subordinate Kyle Sampson made those decisions.
Sampson fired that charge back at Gonzales. But the Albuquerque
Journal article provides the missing piece. Gonzales wouldn’t move
on Iglesias without a Bush sanction. How do these pieces fit together?
It’s simple. Wilson needed help. Both Wilson and Domenici called
Iglesias. No deal Iglesias said. Then Domenici made the call to
Gonzales who said, no way without a nod from Bush. Iglesias was
fired. Therefore, Bush is tagged for giving the order, Get rid of
him. Gonzales passed the word and the deed was done.
That sequence of events points directly to Bush as the final
decider. He’s told us “I’m the decider” in public. Gonzales said as
much to Domenici, no way unless the boss says so.
The problem is not only political but legal. Pressuring a U.S.
Attorney into a bogus indictment is a federal crime. Domenici
lawyered up after Iglesias described his conversation with the
senator. Gonzales and Sampson both denied initiating the call on
the firing. So it’s Bush, and only Bush, as the author of a
punishment delivered to a U.S. Attorney who failed to indict a
citizen for purely political purposes.
Now that’s what you call a high crime. Actually, it’s called
election fraud, which is defined as “corruption of the electoral
process … (by) elected or election officials, candidates, party
organizations, advocacy groups or campaign workers.” Here we have
politicians actively planning improper and illegal acts to
influence an election through a contrived prosecution. It’s not
that complicated.
High Crimes
The New Mexico affair is critical to determining if and how
election fraud was committed in the White House. We have a lot of
people talking, some getting lawyers, and a critical conversation
reported in the Albuquerque Journal, 15 April 2007:
In the spring of 2006, Domenici told Gonzales he wanted Iglesias out.
Gonzales refused. He told Domenici he would fire Iglesias only on
orders from the president.
That’s the smoking gun. It’s the vital link to Bush committing
election fraud. He’s a politician, the senior politician,
corrupting the election process by replacing an honest prosecutor
with someone who will cooperate the next time the Senator and the
Congresswoman call with their requests that some prominent Democrat
be indicted to give a hand to a campaign.
There is enough testimony, from a U.S. Attorney no less, to make a
prima facie case that Bush committed election fraud. Ironically,
the probable election fraud took place while the White House was
promoting the Republican myth of voter fraud.
Let the impeachment process begin.
