Sibel Edmonds’ testimony covered on The Brad Blog
To get the latest news on today’s deposition testimony by national security whistleblower Sibel Edmonds, I have been reading The Brad Blog. Investigative journalist and commentator Brad Friedman reports that Edmonds was able to testify in response to all the questions. No attorneys from the Department of Justice or the FBI showed up. No court orders prevented the depostion from proceeding. Of particular relevance to Rep. Jean Schmidt’s complaint against challenger David Krikorian, Edmonds reportedly confirmed that Schmidt’s donors were agents of the Turkish government intent on suppressing public awareness of the Armenian Genocide. However, the Brad Blog reports that Edmonds’ testimony went further in showing the extent to which Turkish agents will go. According to The Brad Blog, in one incident, a female Turkish agent allegedly seduced a married female member of Congress who was going to support a resolution acknowledging the Armenian Genocide.
