[ReggaeMike]

and no let up in sight. I wonder if the Law firm knows they are messing with matters of natiional security?

Read on:

THREE unnamed senior government ministers are now under the microscope of the Grand Jury of the Southern District Court of New York which indicted Christopher 'Dudus' Coke last August on alleged gun and drug trafficking charges.
Well-informed Observer sources said the Americans are contending that the Jamaican Government officials had conspired to prevent information from reaching the Grand Jury in the Coke case — the latest in the fallout from the Manatt Phelps and Phillips law firm controversy.

Investigators probing breaches of the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) involving the Government of Jamaica, and the US law firm are piecing together evidence they say will expose the alleged link between the government officials, Manatt Phelps and Phillips, and Coke, the Tivoli Gardens strongman.
The Observer sources said the investigators were focusing on two areas: conspiracy to prevent information reaching the Grand Jury, and conspiracy to violate the Foreign Agents Registration Act.
The investigators believe that the firm's service was retained by officials connected to the Government, to lobby Washington not to pressure Jamaica to extradite Coke. In that regard, several influential Americans connected to the US administration were contacted by the law firm, including the administration's nominee as Ambassador to Niger.
"A file from the probe was sent to the Grand Jury, in which the finger was pointed directly at the law firm and the Jamaican Government and the continued delay in the extradition warrant being discharged," the source said.
Opposition spokesman, Dr Peter Phillips who first raised the Manatt, Phelps and Phillips issue in the Parliament, said Good Friday that the matter was still wide open, as information filed by the company to United States officials up to Holy Thursday and that provided by government officials here was at variance.
"No, it's not over. It can't be over when the disparity between the two positions, that of the Government, and that of the firm, leaves too many unanswered questions..." Phillips told the Observer.
The Government said it had no dealings with Manatt, Phelps and Phillips, while the firm is maintaining that it had represented the Government and was paid US$50,000 on its US$100,000 invoice.

So is this separate from the Sunday Herald story of March 28-April 3, 2010? That story went like this:

"PNP activist in bed with Feds

There are indications that a top activist of the opposition PNP is among informants providing info to US Federal agencies on Jamaican gangs including the Shower Posse. The activist, now residing in the US, is said to be working closely with Federal authorities on matters including the extradition of Christopher 'Dudus' Coke and other alleged drug traffickers wanted in the US to face trial.

Sunday Herald sources have also disclosed that a minister of government and another high profile mobster based in Portmore are on the list of persons of interest and high on the agenda of US authorities for alleged drug trafficking. It is said that the US has linked both suspects to alleged shipment of drugs from Jamaica via the Bahamas to the United States on the night of the last General Election in 2007.

It now appears that US authorities are preparing to step up pressure on Jamaica for it's delays in extraditing Coke to face alleged drug and gun trafficking charges. Coke was indicted on two counts - conspiracy to distribute marijuana and cocaine, and conspiracy to traffic firearms.

There are also reports that investigators are looking at deposits in the collapsed investment scheme, Olint, allegedly made by Coke...."

The link with the Bahamas is the second one I've seen. I recall reading a story in one of the papers (can't find it now, so if anybody can then please provide a link) where it stated that Evans (the fella released by police in Half-Way-Tree when he was supposed to be returned to lock-up for later extradition) had fled into a waiting car and then took a boat which was tracked to the Bahamas.

If this story is separate could it mean up to 4 government ministers possibly under investigation?

EDIT: And with the news surround the Vazs new house and its acquisition price one has to wonder just how rotten the whole bunch might be.

[Rudi]

These guys never cease to amaze. When dem did say 'new and different' who knew. Care to expound on the Vaz issue. If me do it dem a go say mi anti-jlp like Obama.

Good try Rudi! Noone said anything about Obama. You admitted you're anti-JLP and is trying to remove yuh foot from yuh mouth. Consult Mosiah.

[Rudi]

Lazie, you have a serious reading and comprehension problem. The stress that spinners like you are now under can somehow excuse that I suppose. Read the post again slowly preferably with someone else by your side to guide you and see if you come to the same conclusion.
Secondly, based on what has transpired and is yet to be revealed if you and the apologists dont 'change course' and I mean quick you won't be able to distinguish those who are 'anti-jlp' from Jamaicans period. Notice the new stance of the JLP vis-a vis your party and ask yourself why if you can.

"Yoiu still think this is idle gossip by people who are anti JLP.?"

Thats your quote. No need to twist yuhself anymore. There is nothing wrong with being anti-JLP, thats your choice. At least now you're out of the closet.

Last I heard Jamaica was PNP country, suh yuh second paragraph nuh necessary. Nuh bother fret over the opps moment.

[Rudi]

sb new stance of the Observer vis-a-vis the jlp.

[Lionpaw]

Here we go again. If the US was really investigating J'can gov't ministers, why would they leak it to a newspaper? Wouldn't the publishing of such info cause the 'suspects' to start covering their tracks?

Same way there was a report about satellite keeping track of activities in Tivoli. Come on, when unuh ago start picking sense out of nonsense? US citizens don't know where their satellites are, suh why are they going to make that info known to a 'rogue state'?

Witness tampering or activities to prevent flow of information usually has the "imprint" of the person or those attempting to manage the activity all over it! So leaking the info does not change the activity or allow for "covering of tracks"...unless the person who or persons whose "imprints" are all over the action or actions disappear!
