Jimmy Carter: "I don't pay any attention to criminal Oliver North"

[red dog 1]

32. "When you make a promise you have got to keep it.".....Jimmy Carter

(Quote from the Crooks & Liars link cited above)


In an interview with NBC's Andrea Mitchell on "Meet the Press" last week, Carter said that Obama was the only President who has not asked him for any advice.

From "Jimmy Carter's Forgotten History Lesson" (Salon.com)
"President Carter started no wars, bombed no civilians, and committed no crimes against the Constitution.
He did not sell weapons to terrorists or spy on his political opponents."

One has to wonder what a Carter 2nd term might have been like.

If I'm not mistaken, Carter won the first of two debates with Reagan.
Fearing that he would also win the second debate, William Casey arranged for White House CIA official Donald Gregg to copy Carters notes for the 2nd debate, smuggle them out of the White House, and then George Will used the stolen debate notes to coach Reagan before the 2nd debate, which Reagan "won" because he knew ahead of time what Carter would say.
("Well, there you go again&quot
I still wonder why Casey, Gregg, Will and all others who were involved in "Debate-Gate" weren't tried for treason?
Isn't illegally copying the President's secret notes for the 2nd debate & smuggling them out of the White House a treasonous act?

And then there was "October Surprise", in which Casey & other Rethugs met secretly with top Iranian officials (who were about to release the hostages) & told them that if they waited until Reagan was elected, and THEN released the hostages, they would be rewarded by being able to buy advanced military aircraft and weapons, which the Iranians desperately needed to fight Sadaam Husein in the Iran-Iraq War. (Selling weapons to terrorists)

Meeting covertly with foreign officials and asking them to delay the release of the hostages in a "quid pro quo" to sell them advanced military weapons?
Wasn't that also a treasonous act?

Oliver North is a disgrace to his uniform; and he deserved to go to jail.

IMO, William Casey, Donald Gregg, George Will et.al. also deserved to go to jail...for treasonous acts!
