More Blackwater TIES to the top
WASHINGTON, Nov 14 (Reuters) - The State Department's top investigator recused himself on Wednesday from probes into the Blackwater security firm after discovering -- during a break in a congressional hearing -- that his brother was connected with the company. Howard Krongard, who began a hearing of Rep. Henry Waxman's government oversight committee by denying the "ugly rumors" that his brother "Buzzy" was linked to Blackwater, returned after a recess to say he had just contacted his brother and learned he had attended a Blackwater advisory board meeting. "I had not been aware of that. And I want to state on the record right now that I hereby recuse myself from any matters having to do with Blackwater," Krongard, who acts as an independent internal investigator for the State Department, told the panel.
hMMMMMMMMM
Waxman, a California Democrat with a reputation for tenacity as an investigator, has charged Krongard with interfering in ongoing investigations to protect the State Department and White House from political embarrassment -- a charge Krongard flatly denied. "I have never impeded any investigation," Krongard said, adding he had never worked in government before now, had no political ties and never met President George W. Bush.
Let's SEE, WHERE have I heard THAT before??
Republicans belittled Waxman's investigation, saying the only thing he might pin on Krongard was an abrasive management style. But they admitted surprise at Krongard's revelation his brother was in fact linked to Blackwater, after he started the hearing denying it.
"He has done you tremendous damage," said Rep. Christopher Shays, a Connecticut Republican. Krongard seemed unfazed. (ARE ANY OF THEM EVER FAZED???) "I'm not my brother's keeper, and we do not discuss our business with each other," he said.
A.B. "Buzzy" Krongard is a former executive director of the CIA. Howard Krongard is a former general counsel at Deloitte & Touche.
Krongard contacted his brother after Democratic lawmakers waved e-mails showing Blackwater had invited him to be on the company's advisory board and attend a meeting in Williamsburg, Virginia, this week.
Just out of nowhere like that huh??
Several current and former staffers from Krongard's office said he threatened investigators with retaliation if they cooperated with Waxman's probe. Krongard is also accused of telling the staff not to cooperate with the Justice Department, and impeding investigations into alleged arms smuggling by Blackwater and construction problems with a massive new U.S. embassy in Baghdad.
I'm puzzled why the lack of cooperation with the DOJ .. does this mean there is someone left there who GIVES A SHIT???
Folks, before you press that Republican button again .... try to remember some of these slugs. There is NO WAY you can deny what has gone on for SEVEN LONG YEARS.
Let it be OVER for good.
