Rumsfeld Guilty Of Receiving Stolen Property?

I just bet he'll be charged. Hahaha. Yeah, sure he will. You or I would be, but you and I aren't part of the US monarchy's ruling class.

A disaster relief company that took supplies that were supposed to go to Sept. 11, 2001, rescuers at the World Trade Center has escaped punishment.

The reason: The government discovered that its own employees had stolen artifacts from ground zero, once-secret federal documents show.

The FBI developed evidence from whistleblowers that Kieger Enterprises of Lino Lakes, Minn., had dispatched trucks to a Long Island warehouse and loaded hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of donated bottled water, clothes, tools and generators in a plot to sell some for profit, the records show.

Dan L’Allier, a Kieger supervisor at the time, told The Associated Press that he witnessed 45 tons of the New York loot being unloaded in Minnesota at his company’s headquarters. He and a colleague, Chris Christopherson, complained to a company executive but were ordered to keep quiet.

They went instead to the FBI. The two whistleblowers eventually lost their jobs, received death threats and were blackballed in the disaster relief industry. But they remained convinced that their sacrifice was worth it to make sure justice was done.

Federal prosecutors eventually charged Kieger and some executives with fraud for overbilling the government in several disasters but excluded the Sept. 11, 2001, thefts. The company has gone out of business.

The lead investigators for the FBI and the Federal Emergency Management Agency told the AP that the plan to prosecute Kieger for the thefts stopped as soon as it became clear in late summer 2002 that an FBI agent in Minnesota had stolen a crystal globe from ground zero.

That prompted a broader review that ultimately found that 16 government employees, including a top FBI executive and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, had such artifacts from New York or the Pentagon [emphasis mine].
