*Note: Chertoff seems to have had his fingers in everything dirty; Department of Justice Office of Special Investigation anti 'nazi' witchhunts, freeing of the captured israeli agents of the 'art students spy ring' and involvement with 'Russian Mafia' figures. His wife, who like he, a lawyer with no emergency mangement experience received a high post in DHS. She is a former operative of the ADL, a Jewish extremist organization which spied on Americans in the San Francisco Bay, including a Republican congressman. Chertoff is a very dangerous man with no loyalty except to himself and the cause of zionism. *

[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][left]The Bush White House thinks itââ¬â¢s being clever by naming a prosecutor instead of a criminal to head the Department of Homeland Security. But Mike Chertoffââ¬â¢s appointment in the wake of the failed nomination of scandal-plagued Bernie Kerik (now under investigation by multiple law-enforcement agencies) is as political as one can imagine. Especially for those who know the arcana of politics in New Jersey, where Chertoff was U.S. attorney, and where his naming to the Homeland Security job caused jaws to drop.
[left]Chertoff was a political attack dog in that job, indicting and convicting a raft of Democratic officeholders. But one whom Chertoff deliberately let get away was his big buddy Bob "The Torch" Torricelli, forced to resign his U.S. Senate seat from Sopranoland in a major corruption scandal. Nick Acocella, editor of the respected insider newsletter New Jersey Politifax, recalls that, at the height of the Torricelli scandal, and while Chertoff was U.S. attorney, he saw The Torch and Chertoff, at a South Jersey Jewish banquet, embrace and huddle intimately "like twins separated at birth." One would have thought a federal prosecutor would have kept his distance from a target of criminal investigations that were making daily headlines in the Jersey press.[/left] [left]When Chertoff was named by Bush to head the Justice Departmentââ¬â¢s Criminal Division ââ¬â partly because he was a skilled political hit man whoââ¬â¢d also raised a ton of money as financial vice chair of Bushââ¬â¢s Garden State campaign in 2000 ââ¬â it was an open secret in Jersey that he squelched an indictment of Torricelli as a reward for The Torchââ¬â¢s support of key Bush legislation the Democratic Party leadership opposed. (Many of the fat cats Chertoff shook down for Bush had also been huge givers to The Torch.)[/left]
[left]Long active in the Federalist Society ââ¬â a conspiratorial brotherhood of legal reactionaries ââ¬â Chertoff, at Justice, helped to write the civil-libertiesââ¬âshredding Patriot Act. He was John Ashcroftââ¬â¢s honcho in the indiscriminate grilling of over 5,000 Arab-Americans after 9/11, devised the use of "material witness" warrants to lock up people of Middle Eastern descent and hold them indefinitely without trial, and on behalf of the Justice Department wrote a brief (in Chavez v. Martinez) arguing that there was no constitutional right to be free of coercive police questioning.[/left]
[left]Moreover, Chertoff wrote legislation, known as the Feeney Amendment, that gutted federal sentencing guidelines, under which federal judges were allowed to use some discretion when sentencing criminal defendants, by preventing judges from shortening sentences ââ¬â and, moreover, required judges who deviated from the Feeney Amendment to have their names and actions reported to the Justice Department, thus establishing what Senator Teddy Kennedy denounced as a judicial "blacklist."[/left]
[left]Why would Chertoff give up a lifetime seat on the federal bench to take a job in the hornetsââ¬â¢ nest of problems that is the DHS? According to a top Jersey Democratic pol who knows Chertoff well, Chertoff ââ¬â described as being "as cold-blooded as they come" ââ¬â has a personal agenda that includes becoming U.S. attorney general and, eventually, grabbing a seat on the U.S. Supreme Court. But thereââ¬â¢s a problem for Chertoff with conservative Republicans ââ¬â he happens to be pro-choice. So, taking the DHS job is Chertoffââ¬â¢s way to "make his bones," as they say in Jersey, and make headlines as a hard-line persecutor of "the towel-heads" to please the right and neutralize his abortion stance.[/left]
[left]But Chertoff has zero experience in running anything remotely resembling the DHS, a mammoth with 180,000 employees and 22 federal agencies under its umbrella. He was picked for two reasons: his political loyalty to Bush (he wonââ¬â¢t go off the reservation on his own as Tom Ridge did) and the fact that heââ¬â¢s already been confirmed by the Senate thrice, so he has no hidden Kerik problems and will sail through with little or no opposition from the spineless Democrats (heââ¬â¢s already been endorsed by Senators Chuck Schumer and Joe Lieberman for the DHS job). But choosing someone on the basis of confirmability rather than qualifications is dangerous ââ¬â as is the choice of a hyper-ambitious Torquemada for a job with enormous power over our already-reduced rights and liberties, which will no doubt be further eroded under Chertoff.[/left] [left][url="http://www.laweekly.com/ink/printme.php?eid=60021"]http://www.laweekly.com/ink/printme.php?eid=60021[/url][/left] [/font]

Wasn't Chertoff the driving force behind the David Duke prosecution/persecution?

Resemblance is striking, no?

[QUOTE=madrussian]Don't you know that his last name means Devilson in Russian?
