Bruce fesses up...finally

[Don1]

Seems pretty clear, concise and final to me.

Any objections would have to stray into the political or emotional. The man provide precedent and demonstrate all actions to be within the ambit of law and procedure.

The only ting that surprise me is dat him did guh J.C. The only ting me can figure is dat J.C. was not always a sub-standard institution.. it must have had its glory days.

Mi proud ah him.. dem man deh yuh can sen anyway innah di World and him get ovation. Mi cyaan believe how wi lucky to dodge di alternative.. mi wondah if Sista 'P' coulda even unnastan dis presentation, much less deliver it.



Jamaica cyaan lose wid dem quality a intellect a lead di country.. 18 years undah dis level a leadership and wi PRETTY !

yuh hero guh not just JC but UWI...how inconvenient.

[Don1]

I don't think is was a mistake. From what I read it is illegal for a person to lobby on behalf of an indited person but I suspect that does not include a government an extradition because that is a political decision. The FARA form had to be filed irrespective of whether it was a political party or a goverment but I suspect that the for, could only be legal if it states Goverment of Jamaica instead of Jamaica Labor Party.

the illegality is the fraudulent misrepresentation to the US that the lobbying was on behalf of the GOJ and not the JLP. A real Keystone Kops caper.

For all practical purposes the lobbying was on behalf of both the JLP and their senior leader Dudus.

Unadulterated corruption.

[Muadib]

Only in your mind.. at one point JC and UWI were relevant... those were the days..

[Don1]

Bruce you need fi do better than that.

how mild....but at least it's a criticism! Congrats!

[Don1]

Read the presentation

Interesting that it also gave the lie to the statement by Dr. Ronald Robinson that he had a brief social encounter with representatives of Manatt, Phelps & Philips.

Dr Ronald Robinson, minister of state in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade, while on a visit to Washington on November 20, 2009, had a brief social encounter with a representative of Manatt, Phelps & Phillips

- Jamaica Observer - Thursday, April 29, 2010

by his saying

Dr. Ronald Robinson, Minister of State in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade and Deputy General Secretary of the JLP...


...attend an informal meeting between Mr. Brady and a representative of Manatt, Phelps & Phillips on November 20th to discuss the matters in relation to which the firm had been retained.


Manatt, Phelps & Phillips has relied on these meetings between its representatives and government officials and the email correspondence to which I have referred as authentication that it was acting on behalf of the government of Jamaica.

JIS - Statement to Parliament by Hon. Bruce Golding, Prime Minister on the Extradition of Christopher Coke and the Engagement of US Law Firm Manatt, Phelps

Issued By: THE OFFICE OF THE PRIME MINISTER
Tuesday, May 11, 2010

... and if it was the gov't that hired the firm, paying them with taxpayers' dollars then what would be your reaction?

One more question that arises from Likle Brucie's words, that is, has Dudus ever contributed to the JLP coffers.

...and the following up is, if yes, how then would one claim, Dudus had not paid off the JLP and thus Government Ministers for his continuing status as a Don? ...that of course includes defending him from being extradited.

Mi nuh know ... pose that question to Don1 since unuh hang onto his every word.

[Karl]

For some people I doubt even a letterhead would be enough.

I'm still amazed that they can't get their story straight though, but then again the truth doesn't require a good memory and they haven't been telling the full truth and don't seem to have a good memory:

Just read Golding's statement and Samuda's statement:

Golding:




Samuda:




So how those two statements square now? Having an initiative assist in "facilitating the opening of discussions" between the US and GOJ isn't in some way acting on behalf of the GOJ?


These statements also don't seem to fit with the documents filed by Manatt and the background to their filing that can be inferred:

Golding:



Samuda:



For Samuda's statement to be true it would mean that the Manatt rep must have been deaf because long after the Solicitor-General supposedly "made it clear" that the GOJ saw no need to engage Manatt's services at the time, Manatt was still filing documents claiming it was working for the GOJ even though it could have filed for a correction.

For Golding's statement to be true it would mean that something funny is really going on in Manatt since the A-G supposedly wrote to Manatt subsequent to March 16th saying that Manatt never worked for the GOJ but in the final week of April (more than a month after the issue was raised in Parliament and Golding and the A-G supposedly first heard about it), Manatt general counsel Monte Lemann supposedly insisted to AmLawDaily that Manatt did indeed have a contract with the GOJ.

...and you could go on and on and on...

At this stage have to believe that Likle Brucie is a liar and a fool!

[Rockman]

Sure, the problem is they do not need Manatt...in order to do that.
When Bruce left his beloved party to lead NDM did he miss Dudus and or the JLP?
What is so important that Bruce would risk his political career, it is not a question of loyalty.


Blessed
