Brett Kimberlin and the Left-Wing Money-Machine
Until just a few years ago, Brett Kimberlin was a convicted drug dealer and terrorist doing 51 years in federal prison for planting eight roadside bombs in the town of Speedwell, Indiana. The last of those bombs left a man so severely disfigured that he committed suicide a few years later. An inveterate liar and con artist, Kimerblin managed to gain fame from prison in 1988 by falsely claiming to have sold drugs to then-presidential candidate Dan Quayle.
Kimberlin’s story doesn’t end there, however. Since his early release from prison in 2000, the convicted terrorist has found a second act: as the darling of America’s leading, tax-free progressive foundations. Kimberlin’s seamless transition from prison inmate to the beneficiary of left-wing philanthropy offers a stark illustration of the radical course that progressive foundations have adopted. As we document in our newly released book The New Leviathan, these foundations have fallen under the sway of hard-left ideologues who have channeled the foundations’ tremendous resources to bankroll groups and individuals far outside the political mainstream, thereby shifting public policy on crucial issues dramatically to the left.
Kimberlin is a case in point. It was enough for the ex-terrorist to become involved in left-wing political causes for these nominally apolitical institutions to open up their wallets and avert their eyes from his troubling past. Today, Kimberlin serves as the director of Justice Through Music Project (JTMP), a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization that uses “famous musicians and bands” to support a host of left-wing causes, from the anti-capitalist protests of Occupy Wall Street to environmental agendas. When he’s not overseeing the group, Kimberlin uses frivolous lawsuits to censor discussion about his criminal past by bloggers and journalists.
One might assume that prominent philanthropies would shun an association with a convicted terrorist, but Kimberlin’s political allegiances seemingly trump his criminal rap sheet. Since 2005, JTMP has received a generous $1.8 million in donations from major funders like the Tides Foundation, the Heinz Foundation, and many others.
JTMP has received at least $70,000 in grants from the Tides Foundation since 2006 for “general operations,” which means JTMP can use the funds without restriction. JTMP has also received at least $20,000 since 2006 from the Heinz Family Foundation, which is headed by Tereza Heinz Kerry, the wife of Mass. Senator and former presidential candidate John Kerry. Happy days are also here again for Kimberlin thanks to Barbara Streisand. JTMP has received at least $10,000 from the singer’s Streisand Foundation. The fact that these foundations see nothing amiss with funding a group headed by a former terrorist is a telling commentary on their political priorities.
To be sure, our system of philanthropy makes it easy for left-wing donors to hide their connections to someone like Kimberlin. The Tides Foundation is a case in point. Tides was set up as public charity that receives money from donors and then funnels it to the recipients of their choice. Because many of these recipient groups are, like JTMP, quite radical, the donors often prefer not to have their names publicly linked with the donees. By letting the Tides Foundation, in effect, launder the money for them and pass it along to the intended beneficiaries, donors can avoid leaving a paper trail. Such contributions are called “donor-advised,” or “donor-directed,” funds.
It should come as no surprise that a number of JTMP’s funders use this very approach. Pressed on its financial support for an extremist like Kimberlin, one donor, Schwab Charitable Funds, protested that its funds “are cause-neutral, and exist to facilitate the charitable giving of their clients.” At the same time the fund, a charitable arm of brokerage giant Charles Schwab, stressed that its “grants do not in any way reflect the views or perspectives of Schwab, Schwab Charitable or the management of either organization.” So it goes: Radicals like Kimberlin get their money, and the true identities of his funders remain hidden. Meanwhile, patently political foundations can claim a tax-free status that depends on their eschewal of political activity.
That Kimerblin’s group counts leading foundations among its financial backers is also an indication of the extent to which so-called progressive foundations have shifted their funding to the far left. The Tides Foundation has led the way in this leftward shift. Tides operations include the richest and most venerable philanthropies, among them the Rockefeller Foundation and its Rockefeller Family Fund, the Ford Foundation, and the Carnegie Corporation. In a profound historical irony, these onetime symbols of American capitalism now dispense their endowments to the anti-capitalist agitators Occupy Wall Street.
There are conservative foundations, too, of course, but they cannot match the resources of their counterparts on the left. With over $100 billion in tax-exempt assets at their disposal, left-wing foundations have been able to invest massively greater amounts in their beneficiary groups than have their political opposites. In splashing their cash, these foundations have not balked at sponsoring groups helmed by political radicals and extremists, so long as their political causes are congenial. Just ask Brett Kimberlin.
I don’t understand why the Blaze still says he filed “over 100″ lawsuits. Their evidence is a Google document search yielding 62 results, barely half of which are court filings, and nearly all of those pertain to the fanciful “speedway” story (which itself I find rather questionable).
You have to be the only person in the world who considers a series of bombs — including one that maimed a man, leading to his suicide — as “fanciful”.
As for “questionable” — the explosives used were purchased by Kimberlin a few years before the bombings. Timers identical to the ones used in the bombs were found in the trunk of his car. He wrote a letter asking someone else to continue the bombings while he was in jail, attempting to create the illusion that someone else was the bomber. What questions are left?
“What questions are left?”
Where are they getting ‘over 100 lawsuits’ from? It’s nonsense.
As for the reality of the bombings, it wouldn’t be the first time real or fabricated crimes were attributed to a front or a caricature. By whom is a good question to ask.
Many, many questions are left.
Yes, Baobo, there are many, many questions:
1. Are you Brett Kimberlin?
2. Are you associated with or paid by Bret Kimberlin?
3. Why are you claiming Kimberlin’s crimes are “fabricated” when they are in fact well documented IN COURT RECORDS?
4. Do you support SWAT-ing of those with whom you have political disagreements?
5. Why do you think being such an obvious troll here in support of Brett Kimberlin is helpful to his cause?
6. to Infinity… To be asked…
Note that “Baobo”, or whatever, stopped posting. Watch out for a SWAT.
OK, so you think someone framed him — despite a letter written in his own hand asking someone else to carry out more bombings while he was in jail, so it would look like he was innocent?
What do *you* feel happened? Why?
I grew up in Speedway, Indiana and was living nearby when Kimberlin was bombing there. Residents of Speedway were afraid to leave there homes for fear they would be hurt. He truly terrorized the town. Bret Kimberlin is a dangerous man. He ranks right down there with the Unabomber, although probably not as smart, but just as vicious. I still can’t believe the Feds let him out. It seems to me that the same lefties that are funding him now must have had a role in his release.
To whom has one of these so called fabrications been applied, and by whom? I could probably read your drivel if it contained any facts.
Brett himself uttered those words.
wow.
first post is from a kimberlin apologist.
my best guess is that he is sitting on the west coast, googling kimberlin’s name, hourly, so he can ‘try’ and squash the fires to earn the respect of a POS.
“fanciful”…
eric rudolph, ted kaczynski, timothy mcveigh, and, of course, bill ayers were all just “fanciful”. who knew?
Actually, he claims to have Google alerts for mentions of his name.
He claimed that their triggering was “harassment” — which means he for the harassment. If he turned off the alerts, the “harassment” would stop.
Kimberlin made the claim while threatening people with lawsuits.
“I have filed over a hundred lawsuits and another one will be no sweat for me. On the other hand, it will cost you a lot of time and money and for what. I run a small non profit that works to inspire youth to get involved. I have only met Brad Friedman one time in my life. Your piece is a smear job against both me and Brad. I have gotten death threats all day today because of your and Liberty Chick’s post and I have to meet with the FBI tomorrow to give them copies. Have I ever posted anything, anywhere? Have I ever said or done anything to you? ”
From Brett Kimberlin’s letter to Patterico.
BTW, the evidence Kimberlin is the speedway bomber is simply overwhelming.
Kimberlin himself claimed to have filed over 100 lawsuits in an email to Patterico.
Kimberlin was arrested, convicted and did jail time for the “fanciful” Speedway bombings.
If you are going to shill for someone, at least have command of the facts.
First para – wasn’t it Speedway, Indiana, not Speedwell?
Yes, Speedway. As in The Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The “Indy 500″. Suburb of Indianapolis.
From what I saw Tides isn’t very effective. During the 2004 election I had just moved. Because I must fit the profile of a dumbocrat I received two or three mailings from Tides urging me to register to vote, early vote and finally vote on election day. All of them sent me to the wrong place! They spent a fortune yet they didn’t have a decent mail merge program that would place people in their proper county.
I wonder how if anyone took their advice, drove 60 miles in the wrong direction to try to register and vote only to be told they were off by three counties.
That was the whole idea! And they were allowed to vote, early, frequently and in many different precincts.
Waddya mean, David, with “former terrorist”. Convicted, jailed, released by serving time, not pardoned, and now bombing and maiming with blogs instead of bombs.
Thanks for the story, David, everyone else seems too frightened of this creep’s pen to call him out.
LOL, after staring down the lunatics of Islam-0-World, I don’t bomber-boy is going to make him blink.
Brett Kimberlin is a thug and a terrorist and should have been forced to rot the rest of his years in jail. You never hear much about the life of the man he destroyed. The man was so badly injured in one of Kimberlin’s bomb balsts that he killed himself. Kimberlin all but murdered this man and yet he gets to walk out of jail.
Yet THESE are the types of people the far left support, scum like this and Van Jones as well. You don’t hear much about Van Jones these days, even though he’s making all these speeches, appearing on the Sunday morning talk shows on ABC, and pushing his new book on the talk show circuit. And how about the “rehabilitation” of people like Al Sharpton, who was disgraced in the Tawana Brawley and was directly responsible for deadly riots in New York City. And who could ever, EVER, forget the grandaddy terrorist of them all, Bill Ayers. The far left not only refuses to shun these maniacs, they actually embrace them, giving them lots of money and great jobs. Just shows you how morally bankrupt the far left is.
And it’s even more horrible to know that two of these idiots, Ayers and Van Jones, are personal friends of Obama. This not only tells you about the people who support Obama, but the types of people Obama associates with. If people were paying attention back in 2008, Obama never should have been elected with friends like these. But Obama WAS elected and now look at what we have. November is coming, friends. Hang in there until then.
The left supports Kimberlin, Mumia, Kacinski, Ayers, van Jones, Green”peace”, ALF, ELF, SHAC, and endless other terrorists.
Then insist that the right is violent.
Question: why AREN’T we violent against demons like these?
MOW THEM DOWN LIKE GRASS.
Bingo! Because we have spineless wimps from the old guard GOP, RINOs and others like Ms. Turner (thread from yesterday) who beleive we should play by strict rules, not engage in the tactics the left does, and allow them to demonize and destroy our side, engage in character assasination and literally hurt out side without allowing a response in kind.
If it gets ugly in November, I wonder how many on the right will stand up for America??
We do not mow them down like grass because WE ARE NOT THEM; we hold much higher standards of reverence for life, liberty and family.
If you are not prepared to fight the enemy on his terms using his methods, you should prepare to surrender. “And may the chains lay lightly upon you”
This has been going on for a long time. I’m 69 and I can remember in the 50′s and 60′s the struggles in the foundations between the conservatives hold on to their foundations and the left to take them over even reported in the press. Even then the press tended to favor the left.
Why can’t we get a current pix of this terrorist?
As I understand it, brokerage foundations like the Schwab foundation are tax dodge vehicle for people with money in brokerage accounts. The reason why they say it’s neutral is that individual account holders can designate funds to pass through the foundation and to the designated organization, and the foundation itself doesn’t make any determination regarding where the funds go.
This gives the donor a tax shelter while at the same time giving them anonymity. Their tax returns simply show a donation to the Schwab foundation.
As you say, it’s a money laundering operation. An account holder can give a donation to a revolutionary or terrorist organization, and keep his hands clean.
Too bad Movement Conservatives were complicit when Liberals did away with things like HUAC, the Senate Internal Security Committee, and better yet lists of organizations it should be illegal to support.
Well hopefully Conservatives will make amends if and when they get power (hope hope hope).
DE-FUND THE LEFT!!!!! Do it the hard way if necessary.
“(F)ormer terrorist” appears to be too kind. How about “convicted terrorist.” Be accurate.
Apprently BK’s “salary” is miniscule … so whose money is funding his efforts to punish his exposers?
And the widow of the maimed man, Carl DeLong, can’t collect from a guy who runs these multi-million $ 501(c)(3)s? Perhaps some of BK’s wealthy supporters (paging George and Barbra and Teresa …. et. al.) could supply the legally ordered recompense for Carl DeLong’s widow?
And perhaps the Speedway PD can re-open the cold case of the murder of the grandmother of the underage girl BK was dating way back when?
Re: Schwab Charitable Funds
Can someone please explain how the claim of ’cause-neutrality’ makes funding criminals OK and a worthy corporate undertaking? They could be funding all sorts of horrible things because they choose ignorance. Do they run their main business the same way?
The tides foundation effectively controls most foundation grants. Tides has help found over a thousand organizations which advance leftist causes. Once blessed by Tides, money flows in from many sources.The federal government now funds most of these groups through stimulus funds, energy grants, and now the mortgage settlement. Networking with Soros, Lear, and others,Tides has created a web of grants, internships, and fellowships which now essentially control hiring in much of journalism, academia, government, and foundations. Tides has also created many replica organizations which now similarly incubate leftist groups so now thousands of seemingly independent groups can act in a coordinated strategy. Virtually all top level Obama appointees have past connections to Tides and its network.
“An account holder can give a donation to a revolutionary or terrorist organization, and keep his hands clean”
But here’s what I dont get. Who HAS extra money to give away?
And then gives it to these confiscatory revolutionary groups?
Aside from the Jackass Millionaires of Hollywood, earning a surplus sufficient enough to give substantial amounts to “charity” is pretty damned hard work. You tend to want to keep it AWAY from scoundrels like these.
So, it suprises me their are enough “real-earners” out there who are so willing to put their money with the very thieves who would destroy their industries, livelihoods, and social model that made their hard work pay off in the first place.
Aside from Teachers Unions and the like (out and out criminal enterprizes) that covertly funnel TAXPAYERS money by the truckload to Commies and Terrorists, who the heck voluntarily donates their OWN money to these causes?
The money’s coming from those who inherited it (Kerry, Heinz) or those who earned it without building anything (Streisand, Soros).
People who earned their money by building things (Kochs) are routinely demonized for donating to causes they believe in.
Investing in the government- riskless high-yield.
Thanks Horowitz- you have done so much more regarding the actual structure of internal colonization than information-free shrieking housewives like Mark Levin or O’Reilly
David Horowitz,
I have followed you for some time now. You have done some outstanding work and deserve commendation for your research and your backbone.
Thank you.
In the 1974 BBC production of World at War they interviewed prison guards who detailed out the overtaking of society can only be done by the indecent. The thugs will engage in this behavior. The decent people will never behave in the way needed by those who wish to overturn world.
It’s not a bug, it’s a feature.
There is a four word reason why these “Swat-ing” and willfully fraudulant Lawfare attacks are a Federal Case that should be addressed by the AG Holder Justice Department, but won’t — “Mail and Wire Fraud.”
Willfully framing a victim for a police raid, or getting them fired via organized harrassment over the internet, are both material hurts and a scheme to defraud over wire.
See:
Mail
18 U.S.C. § 1341 provides:
Whoever, having devised or intending to devise any scheme or artifice to defraud, or for obtaining money or property by means of false or fraudulent pretenses, representations, or promises, or to sell, dispose of, loan, exchange, alter, give away, distribute, supply, or furnish or procure for unlawful use any counterfeit or spurious coin, obligation, security, or other article, or anything represented to be or intimated or held out to be such counterfeit or spurious article, for the purpose of executing such scheme or artifice or attempting so to do, places in any post office or authorized depository for mail matter, any matter or thing whatever to be sent or delivered by the Postal Service, or deposits or causes to be deposited any matter or thing whatever to be sent or delivered by any private or commercial
interstate carrier, or takes or receives therefrom, any such matter or thing, or knowingly causes to be delivered by mail or such carrier according to the direction thereon, or at the place at which it is directed to be delivered by the person to whom it is addressed, any such matter or thing, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both. If the violation occurs in relation to, or involving any benefit authorized, transported, transmitted, transferred, disbursed, or paid in connection with, a presidentially declared major disaster or emergency (as those terms are defined in section 102 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 5122)), or affects a financial institution, such person shall be fined not more than $1,000,000 or imprisoned not more than 30 years, or both.[2]
Wire
18 U.S.C. § 1343 provides:
Whoever, having devised or intending to devise any scheme or artifice to defraud, or for obtaining money or property by means of false or fraudulent pretenses, representations, or promises, transmits or causes to be transmitted by means of wire, radio, or television communication in interstate or foreign commerce, any writings, signs, signals, pictures, or sounds for the purpose of executing such scheme or artifice, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both. If the violation affects a financial institution, such person shall be fined not more than $1,000,000 or imprisoned not more than 30 years, or both.[3]
Honest Services
Main article: Honest services fraud
18 U.S.C. § 1346 provides:
For the purposes of this chapter, the term “scheme or artifice to defraud” includes a scheme or artifice to deprive another of the intangible right of honest services.[4]
Elements
There are three elements to mail and wire fraud:
1) Intent;
A “scheme or artifice to defraud” or the obtaining of property by fraud; and,
A mail or wire communication.[5]
2) To be fraudulent, a misrepresentation must be material.[6]
Mail fraud does not require that the mailing cross state lines; however, wire fraud does require that the wire communication cross state lines.[7]
VOIP spoofing to induce SWAT raids have been used against a wide range of people, not just “targeted Right Wingers.”
Cases have included spouses in bitter divorces, on-line gamers, guys who are angry at the guy their girlfriend is going out with, and a host of other targets.
Victims chosen for politics have included liberals unrelated to Kimberlin, as well as conservatives.
The FBI says the two primary charges in a SWAT-ing case are the fraud and conspiracy. That’s up to 20 years and up to 5 years, respectively, with the conspiracy element bringing additional sentencing elements (both mandatory and optional for the judge.)
These are not the only possible charges, but what gets used depends on circumstances.
For example, on May 18, 2008 Jason Trowbridge, Stuart Rosoff, and Chad Ward were convicted for their committment of at least 250 cases of swatting. The charges used revolved around 18 U.S.C. § 1029 : US Code – Section 1029: Fraud and related activity in connection with access devices. The actual conviction in this case was a plea bargain to one count of conspiracy to commit the crime (as opposed to 250+ individual charges).
The same charge was used against Matthew Weigman and Sean Paul Benton.In their case they also got 18 USC § 1513 – Retaliating against a witness, victim, or an informant. (Actually it was another conspiracy to commit a felony charge with this being the felony.)
However, there is a huge difference here between the Trowbridge types and Kimberlin that consists of two words — Escalation Potential.
Kimberlin is employed as the director of a 501(c)3 non-profit closely associated with Leftist funds that has collected $1.8 million in contributions since 2005.
Conspiracy charges allied with Mail & Wire Fraud means those who fund Kimberlin have a criminal racketeering, influence and corrupt organizations (RICO) liability for every act associated with the Kimberlin machine.
This criminal liability of the Leftist NGO money laundering/grant scheme is why AG Holder won’t go near Kimberlin.
Kimberlin is looking to many in the Right like a George Soros funded private harasser given Carte Blanche by the AG Eric (with) Holder Justice Department to go after prominent voices on the Right.
If the Right can’t trust the Law to provide justice, people associated with it will go private violence to get what they really want — vengeance.
The issue here is the willingness of the in-power Left to throw their extremists under the bus.
There were generations of “race riots” that were mobs of whites attacking blacks (the worst in 1919) until Harry Truman and Dwight Eisenhower both said “No more.” Truman stopped it with the 46-47 riots, and Eisenhower kept it from starting again.
That willingness to throw your own worst elements under the bus is notably lacking in the Obama Administration.
That lack is what scares the tar out of me.
I been through the Ruby Ridge, Waco, Murrah Building Bombing thing once already, having to call to find out if anyone in my local’s bargaining unit were killed in Oky City.
I don’t want to go through it again.
Trent,
Excellent references, excellent history, excellent analysis. Thank you.
Try this one instead:
18 U.S.C. 241.
“If two or more persons conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or because of his having so exercised the same; They shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both.”
The only reason Erickson and the others were attacked was because of their exercise of First Amendment rights. The only reason they were targeted is because of their conservative political speech, speech with which the buttmonkey assclown kimberlin disagreed.
It is almost certain that the people engaging in SWATting are violating federal law. Consider 18 U.S.C. 241.
“If two or more persons conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or because of his having so exercised the same; They shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both.”
The only reason Erickson and the others were attacked was because of their exercise of First Amendment rights. The only reason they were targeted is because of their conservative political speech, speech with which the SWATters disagreed.
something getting lost from Kimberlin’s back story is that the Speedway Bombings were done to distract the police from investigating the shooting of the mother of the woman that Kimberlin was dating. The murdered woman was objecting to Kimberlin’s amorous attentions toward her under-aged granddaughter. Kimberlin had taken the child on several unchaperoned overnight trips including out of state. Kimberlin is an un-prosecuted pedophile.
No statute of limitations on murder.
Unfortunately, the only witness died (of cancer, not murder) before they could charge anyone. Barring a shockingly unlikely discovery of some new evidence, that case will never be officially solved.
So who is he going to sue next PJ Media?
certain types of systems and movements seem to attract and engage smart socio-paths in mutually profitable relationships. It’s also common in organized crime and dictatorships.
Kimberlin is what others on the left dream about, and wait for. It’s not all the leftist netroots by a long shot. He doesn’t seem to lack active and considerable support in the higher, moneyed circles, as documented. The media offers tacit support for this threat by ignoring him. The rage and aggression are coming to a head, look forward to interesting, possibly violent times as we approach November.
This.
Plus, can anyone imagine the outrage if Palin was found to be donating to a “charity” run by a convicted bomber? Or if Limbaugh were found to be funding a conservative equivalent of Kimberlin? Of if there were even a conservative equivalent to Kimberlin in existence?!
But Kerry and Streisand support this thug, and no one bats an eye.
I lived in Indianapolis and remember Kimberlin. He is a low life cowardly killer. When he got out he decided to live off the Left’s teat. He should be back in prison receiving the attentions of a very large cellmate.
Have been following Kimberlin story for 10 days or so. this guy is pure evil with a law degree earned from prison on our tax dollars. He is doing the Alinsky one on one to conservative bloggers, getting them fired, trying to get their law licenses pulled. Breitbart and Patterico are targets. But David did not mention George Soros who has spent over $100 million starting Media Matters, MoveOn, Color of Change, Storm-Van Jones, on and on.
It’s Speedway, Indiana, not Speedwell. Not corrected as of now 8:45pm, central time.
I recommend everyone reads Mark Singer’s book, “Citizen K,” about Brett Kimberlin and the many lies and crimes he has perpetrated over the years. The book was published in ’96 after Singer, a liberal New Yorker reporter, wrote a laudatory article on Kimberlin in’92 about Kimberlin’s accusations of selling pot to a young Dan Quayle. Singer originally believed Kimberlin was a political prisoner but after many interviews, phone calls and research became convinced he was a con man not only guilty of the Speedway bombings but most probably murder as well. Before that he was one of the biggest dope smuggler/peddlers in the state of Indiana. Kimberlin is a very evil person and should’ve never seen the light of day. The current swatting charges are very likely him I would have to say, or people fallen under his sway.
This brave, resourceful man has been framed by the Bush Administration for daring to stand up against the corporate oil plutocracy. Unlike most dissidents who were disappeared into the ovens and showers of Gitmo, he seemed to know too much to simply eliminate. They had to discredit him just like corporate plutocracies always do to defenders of justice and human rights that are just too wily. Nelson Mandela, Bill Ayers, and Yassir Arafat come to mind as comparables.
Shut your pie hole, troll.
“Nelson Mandela, Bill Ayers, and Yassir Arafat come to mind as comparables.”
============================================================================
Yes, and all of them can be considered unrepentant terrorists.
No, as rotten as Kimberlin is, he in no way compares to Mandela, the inventor of “necklessing”. (Most of the victims of which were blacks, murdered by blacks.)
Um, You’re kidding me, right? Do you really think you’re going to look like anything but a fool or somebody’s butt-buddy posting this. O.K., let’s say you did this for a laugh. Who do you really think is being laughed at. In the immortal words of Daffy Duck: “What a maroon!”
Wasn’t Kinmberlin released from prison the second time in the middle of 2001, when Bush was President, not in the year 2000, when Clinton was president? And the first time in 1994. Why are these basic facts gotten wrong?
