Judge Silberman


                              Judge Silberman

As Deputy Attorney General in the 1970s, Judge Silberman was asked by Congress to testify on the late FBI director J. Edgar Hoover’s secret and confidential files and so was obliged to read them. In a 2005 op-ed, he called examining those files the “single worst experience of my long governmental service.” He vowed to take the secrets he read about politicians to his grave, and so they have never leaked to this day. Silberman recently received an award, the first annual Justice Clarence Thomas First Principles Award, and I'm sure it was deserved. He is said to be the most influential judge never to have sat on the Supreme Court. A very flattering article appeared about him in the WSJ recently.

But this still worries me: what did Hoover know and why shouldn't we know it? After all, two big questions are unanswered. What kind of people are we electing and how are they being compromised? It would be reassuring if this is a small list of a few peccadilloes. But what if they're not?

Hoover's small pressure points are only a part of the question. Why do these leaders feel we must be protected from the truth?

For quite some time I’ve worried about what’s frightening you.
Hoover I dead if we are talking about the same old fool.
Don’t be afraid of the dead,
They won’t harm you.

Do you believe that you’re qualified to.explain the meaning of the Gospels.?
There are sainted ordained ministers like James Swaggert more qualified who would put on a fantastic show
Explaining the mystery of the Gospel.
