Alaska Politics

This is the place to talk about Alaska politics -- state, local, national. Public life in the Last Frontier may never have been more interesting than right now -- the broad and still-evolving corruption investigation, a big election, a popular governor, powerful members of Congress under scrutiny, and the usual hardball Alaska politics. Come here for news, tidbits and information, and join the discussion. Keep your comments civil and on point. Avoid personal attacks. Do not use profanity. Posts that violate the Terms of Use will be deleted. Repeat offenders will be banned.

Blackmail was over Stevens home

From Lisa Demer at the Federal courthouse --

Kohring Lawyer John Henry Browne asked Veco founder Bill Allen about something that came up at the corruption trial last month of former state Rep. Pete Kott. It was regarding Allen’s nephew, Dave Anderson.

Anderson was blackmailing you and you threatened to kill him? Browne asked.

“I was not going to kill him, no,” Allen responded

But that’s the information the government had, wasn’t it? Browne asked.

Allen went back to a point he made a number of times during cross examination.

That’s just part of the story, Allen said. “You have to do the whole thing.”

Anyway, what was Anderson blackmailing him about? Browne asked.

“Ted Stevens’ house,” Allen anwered.

He was referring to a 2000 renovation that doubled the size of Stevens’ home in Girdwood. Allen testitied in the Kott trial that Veco employees worked on the renovation and he donated some materials.

Veco paid for that, correct? Browne asked Allen.

Allen said he didn’t know how much.

Browne asked him if part of his cooperation deal with the government was to help investigate Stevens and the money Veco gave for the Girdwood house?

Yes, Allen answered.

not a strong case, so far

I personally don't care much for Vic, but honestly this case is pretty thin so far. I have not seen any evidence that Vic was offered money for his vote -even implied. They certainly gave him money. But nothing jumps out at me as remotely convincing that the money was for his vote.

(slightly off-topic) I'm growing more and more convinced the case against Uncle Ted is more about that Pac/West no-bid contract than the VECO renovations. There are some interesting connections to U.S. Senator Smith to Pac/West to Uncle Ted.....to Don Young...to the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Acts Reauthorization process... and to former Congressman Richard Pombo -who is now employed by Pac/West...and a few others. Stay tuned...but the more I dig the more this appears connected to the Fisherys Act....and we all know the allegations on kickbacks to certain people related to the fishing industry. STAUFEN -care to comment??? See your former piece from the Alaska Report:

Remember the "good old days"

When the legislators went to Juneau and would just drink and chase female legislative aides, banging on the motel room door to please let them in the room, or when they got together at the bowling alley and drank and just yelled at each other? If only they'd get back to the good old days of screwing (with) each other and quit screwing with the public!!!!!

Indeed, the Baranof had a

Indeed, the Baranof had a different reputation back in the cocaine 80s. Legislators made deals of additional varieties in that same hotel back then.

But the 'gifting' of Alaska's revenues/resources to corporatists and lobbyists, by legislators, was every bit as heavy then as it is now.

It was that same period of time that included the coked-up, call-girl-laden legislative parties at the Baranof, during which Mr. Dankworth and Ms. Ramona Barnes helped to get the ELF (Economic Limit Factor) on-line, thus giving away Billions of dollars in Alaska's oil revenues.

If I were the owner of the Baranof, I'd consider changing my hotel's name right about now. And if I were one of tens or hundreds of Alaska legislators, or former legislators, who gave away my constituency's legacy for a pocket full of coins, I'd seriously consider finding a new zip code to reside near.

It's likely to feel kinda' unfriendly in the north for some folks, not too long from now.

First The Book Deal

The book deal, then the movie, and finally the soap opera that will go on for years here in Alaska and in re-runs forever ...................... it's called history. There's more honest politics in Louisiana than what we seem to have here.

And "Uncle" Ted, "Drunken" Don, as well as "Bug Eyes" are not going to come out like they wanted in the history book of Alaska and the Nation. They will be shown to have been as dirty as they always have been.

you must

think they are innocent. Not sitting in judgment, just reading the facts so far as they have been presented and it sounds like they are all guilty.

Right!

I'm guessing that a few hundred federal agents looking through everything you own might just be able to assemble some facts that look bad too. Too easy to throw anonymous rocks from glass houses....

You accept everything you read in THIS paper?

What facts? This is Kohring's trial, not Stevens.

Federal Judges always issue search warrants without facts

to the senior member of the U.S Senate.

And the FBI at Ted's Girdwood home???

No that didn't happen either, reported across the Nation, in every Newspaper in 50 States?

I suppose the ADN reporter was bluffing? And the FBI on the Adak Fishing Expedition really could only confuse Ben, Icicle, a certain Senator from Alaska, and Sam1435?

Vultures

jt, your post reminds me of the tag line in the cartoon with vultures sitting on a tree limb, and one vulture commenting:

"Patience my ass, I want to kill something!"

Of course cushmanrx is that Eagle of Liberty not now on patrol?

A Vulture it is NOT, or is the symbol on the Seal at the Department of Justice, a Vulture?

Or an Eagle?

Vultures pick up the scraps?

Eagles make the kill?

Or are those laws of Man, God, and Nature really that confusing?

Did you ever study some of these principals, like those at our Library of Congress? That Thomas Jefferson Building has a great collection.

You could update yourself there on the "Eagle of Liberty surrounding the Serpant of Corruption"

"He possessed a genius of the first order. It was universal in its objects." Benjamin Rush

It's NOT a CARTOON cushmanrx. Or did you miss those laws of God also?

"And I saw heaven opened and there was a white horse...
Then I saw an angel standing in the sun, and with a loud voice he called to all the birds that fly in mid-heaven, "Come, gather for the great supper of God, to eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains, the flesh of the mighty,, the flesh of horses and of riders-flesh of all both free and slave, both great and small...And the beast was captured, and with it a false prophet who had performed in his presence the signs of which he decieved those who had recieved the mark of the beast and worshipped his image. These two were thrown aliive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfer...and all the birds were gorged with their flesh..."

Are those Eagles and Vultures still confusing cushmanrx?

Thank you jt...

for sharing!?

While you can't seem to express yourself coherently, at least you're expressing yourself and that's important.

Good luck.
