what did Donna DO before she became the Director? does it matter? I mean, she has quit already... to work for BANK OF AMERICA (August 18, 2006: Donna Bucella has announced that she plans to resign as the Director of the U.S. Terrorist Screening Center for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) by mid-October, 2006, according to The Baltimore Business Journal. Bucella is leaving to be the Business Continuity Executive for the Bank of America, the Journal said. Bucella will be based in Charlotte, where the bank is based.) YES. She helped create the No Fly Program ([Only registered and activated users can see links]), who WAS she BEFORE she joined the venture? well, she knew a lot about spies, for one thing... BUT SHE WAS also in charge of the prosecutors attacking Clinton, as well as her involvement in the Oklahoma City bombing trials ([Only registered and activated users can see links])...
US Attorney Donna Bucella announced her resignation under fire from the 11th US Circuit of Appeals on Friday, March 23, 2001 ([Only registered and activated users can see links]) according to an article in the Naples Daily News “Central Florida’s top prosecutor quits under fire” on March 24, 2001. The article was written by Pat Leisner of the Associated Press.
Bucella headed the executive office in charge of all 94 US attorneys including the US prosecutors who handled the OKC bombing case. In fact Bucella was sent by Reno and the DOJ to OKC the day after the Murrah Building was bombed to “initiate the nationwide investigation” that was conducted by US attorneys and the FBI. She was an associate of Janet Reno from the Southern District of Florida. In 1993 she went to work at DOJ for Reno and was responsible for the training of US attorneys and how they are to conduct Federal grand juries.
On March 16, 2001 the 11th Circuit cited prosecutorial misconduct by US prosecuting attorneys under Bucella and overturned a conviction won earlier by the prosecuting attorneys. The court criticized Bucella’s Assistant US Attorney Rubinstein “ for reportedly lying to a grand jury, rushing the panel and pressuring it to ‘rubber stamp’ indictments.” In another case, the Naples Daily article reported that the Court also called into question the behavior of prosecutors under Bucella for their backing in court an investigation by detectives the Court said had been built “by lying, distortion and omitting facts.”

DONNA BUCELLA ([Only registered and activated users can see links]), U.S. ATTORNEY: According to the indictment that was returned by a federal ground jury sitting in Tampa and unsealed today, George Trofimoff obtained the classified information while serving as a civilian chief of the United States Army element of the Joint Interrogation Center in Nuremberg, Germany from 1969-1994.
During most of that time, Trofimoff also served in the United States Army Reserve, retiring as a colonel. He retired from his American civilian employment after 35 years in 1995. He is the highest ranking United States military officer ever charged with espionage.
...
BOB FRANKEN, CNN NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: We did, as a matter of fact. And every time I hear one of these stories, I'm -- it sounds like a paperback novel almost. This one certainly is just loaded with intrigue. The key wording in the indictment seems to be that Trofimoff, quote, "gave the KGB the opportunity to identify, penetrate and neutralize potential threats to the Soviet Union," describing, of course, his turning over material to the Soviet Union, which, of course, no longer exists, which would then have them get some idea of what the United States knew about their military capabilities.
And he turned over, apparently, a large amount of information. The indictment charges 32, using the legal parlance, "overt acts," exchanges of information in Austria and West Germany with KGB agents. We're told the indictment identifies those KGB agents. It also tells the story about how Trofimoff was recruited by the KGB, by somebody he had become quite close to.
The Orthodox Church is involved in all this. It's a very tangled web, of course, as all of these things are. It sounds like it has the makings of a case of major import, perhaps comparable to the Aldrich Ames case a few years ago. He was a CIA operative who, for years, gave vital information to the Soviet Union also.
There was a reference to the fact that he is the highest ranking U.S. officer, military officer, to ever have been arrested. You might recall back in 1985 a lower ranking man in the Navy, Robert Walker ([Only registered and activated users can see links]), was accused in a very bizarre kind of family ring with spying for the Soviet Union, turning over submarine information.
Lou, this is turning out to be a case of significant magnitude. <<MORE ([Only registered and activated users can see links])>>
