Government Response To Rubashkin Motion
Was the grand jury biased? Is Postville like Nazi-Occupied Poland?
Here's the government's position on that and on the other Rubashkin claims made in federal court yesterday:
Download US Govt Response To Rubashkin Motion For Dismissal, etc
Excellent response to the bull sh-t coming from SMR's legal team.
But I still feel that Judge Reade should withold her ruling against all of SMR claims until September, so the bas-ard can have a long time sweating this out.
And let's not forget about the Iowa Trial in April.
Is SMR and his team going to try to pull the same sh-t on Iowa, as they are trying to pull with the US Government?
Time will tell

A fund of hedge funds run by two members of Vice President Joe Biden's family was marketed exclusively by firms controlled by Texas financier Allen Stanford, charged by regulators with an $8 billion fraud, the Wall Street Journal said.
The $50 million fund was jointly branded between the Bidens' Paradigm Global Advisors LLC and a Stanford Financial Group entity, and was known as the Paradigm Stanford Capital Management Core Alternative Fund, the paper said.
Paradigm Global Advisors is owned through a holding company by the vice president's son, Hunter, and Joe Biden's brother, James, according to the paper.

Feb. 24 (Bloomberg) -- Richard Williamson, a Roman Catholic bishop who denied the Holocaust and was reinstated to the church last month by Pope Benedict XVI, left Argentina today under threat of expulsion.
Williamson, wearing a black baseball cap and sunglasses, stopped to wave his fist in the face of a reporter for the Todo Noticias news channel at Buenos Aires’s international airport. The reporter was then held back by two unidentified men accompanying the cleric.
The U.K.-born Williamson, 68, who lived near the Argentine capital, was on a flight to London that departed shortly after 2 p.m. local time, the Interior Ministry said.
The pope’s Jan. 24 decision to lift the excommunication of Williamson and three other traditionalist priests who broke with the church in the 1980s prompted criticism from Jewish groups and German Chancellor Angela Merkel. The pope has called for Williamson to retract the remarks before he can be officially reinstated.
In a Swedish television interview last month, Williamson said that the “historical evidence is hugely against 6 million Jews having been deliberately gassed in gas chambers as a deliberate policy by Adolf Hitler.”
Argentine Interior Minister Florencio Randazzo said Feb. 19 that those comments “deeply hurt Argentine society, the Jewish people and humanity.” He said Williamson misled immigration authorities about his work in the South American country and had 10 days to leave or be forcibly expelled.

He is right. 6 million Jews being gassed is not true.
They were
1.Gassed
2.Worked to death in ways that would make sweatshops look like the employee lounge.
3. Shot or Machine Gunned into mass pits
4. Suffocated by Carbon Dioxide in specially built vehicles until they got gas chambers built and running.
5. Systematically starved.
6. Killed by automobile when the Nazis would have chase Jews ahead of their cars and whoever couldnt keep up was run over.
7.Beatings
8.Thrown live into the crematoriums.
9.Beaten to death.
10.Experimented on to test different chemicals and enviormental situations that German soldiers might be exposed to, then dissected.
11. Died en transit in the cattle cars, many were woman who died giving birth.
12.Shot in front of the camp inmates as examples of breaking the rules.
I think Williamson should take poison like Goebbels, Goering and Himmler to show his repentance.

Steve:
In the future please post the link to the original article rather then the entire piece.

That was not my post. That is another "steve". I would never post a long, drawn out nonsensical article. Shmarya, please delete that post.

My apologies steve.
I concur. If it is possible Shmarya, please delete the above post. Seems to me using someone else's handle is misleading and unethical.

--Shmarya, please delete that post--
Let me add to that request - could you please start deleting posts that are simply hijack efforts.
I jumped into this thread to see and discuss the government's rebuttal of the Rubashkin motion to dismiss only to find out that the thread was basically made up of anti Democrat garbage.
I'd feel the same way were it anti Republican garbage.
IMO - if someone wish to discuss politics - they should either go to a blog/forum whgere politics are discussed OR start their own darned blog.
FWIW - I think the Rubashkin lawyers made a brilliant end run here that was even MORE brilliantly countered by the prosecutors.
In another thread on the subject (squeezed in between posts about Obama's socialist tendencies and Shmarya's proclivity toward women of color) a lawer expressed the opinion that the charges will stand, but that the trial will be moved. Based on the above (thank you Shmarya for posting it) it would appear that he is correct.

Shmarya, as Equal pointed out, this blog is becoming unreadable.

The trial should be moved to... Minneapolis!
I once was called for jury duty for Hennepin County.
Called in a jury pool... some sexual harassment case. The defendant took one look at us and decided a plea was the better option. All the while the woman victim was glaring at the defendant. Half of the jury were women. Probably our look was like a bunch of left wing 'pinkos' with a black here and there. It would be hard to imagine such a jury pool[bleeding heart Liberals] would give Rubashkin any slack.

The fed's Memorandum in Support is truly fascinating... not because of the joinder/severance issue, but because it is the first place where the prosecution has clearly enunciated its theory of its case amid the plethora of earlier filings and superseding indictments.
In seeing how clearly and cogently the feds respond to Rubashkin's argument to sever, one wonders if there's a Justice Dept office staffed with specialists in the various arcane areas of procedure. The legal work here seems so extremely... competent!
Still, venue might well force severance.
