THE SCHMITZ FAMILY TREE
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_E._Schmitz

Joseph Edward Schmitz is the son of the late John G.
Schmitz, former California State Senator, Member of
the U.S. House of Representatives, and U.S.
Presidential candidate (1972). John Schmitz was famous
for his right-wing views and occasional racist and
homophobic remarks. His public career was ended when
it was revealed that he had an affair and fathered two
illegitimate children. John Schmitz's seven legitimate
children include former George H.W. Bush White House
counsel John P. Schmitz, Jerome T. Schmitz, Theresa
Manion, Elizabeth Crnkovich, Philip Schmitz (who
tragically drowned as a baby in the family pool),
child rapist Mary Kay Letourneau, and Joseph Edward
Schmitz.

SCHMITZ CLAN INTERMARRIED WITH THE BUSH FAMILY
http://www.spitfirelist.com/f533.html

Jeb married a Mexican woman. Columba Bush’s sister is
married to John P. Schmitz, a beneficiary of the
fellowship programs subsumed under the Carl Duisberg
Gesellschaft and the brother of Joseph Schmitz,
currently the head of the Blackwater security outfit.
John P. Schmitz has close links to the elder George
Bush, the 9/11 milieu...

JOHN G. SCHMITZ WAS
A BIRCH SOCIETY NATIONAL DIRECTOR
http://www.arlingtoncemetery.net/jgschmitz.htm

... when the county's longtime conservative Rep. James
B. Utt died  and local Republicans needed a successor,
Schmitz--by then a national director of the
ultraconservative John Birch Society -- was a  natural
choice. Over time, he lost the support of the John
Birch Society, which found him too conservative and
dismissed him from its national council in 1982.
Earlier, he had said he joined the society "to do
something to get the middle-of-the-road vote in Orange
County."

BIZARRE SEXUAL PERVERSIONS
http://72.14.209.104/search?q=cache:NAraNorh2JcJ:p216.ezboard.com/frigorousintuitionfrm10.showMessage%3FtopicID%3D2151.topic+%22JOHN+P.+SCHMITZ%22+SCANDAL&hl=en&gl=us&ct=clnk&cd=4

One of the strangest episodes in Schmitz’s saga
concerns a second family he raised by his German (!)
mistress. A young boy conceived in that relationship
appears to have been sexually mutilated. “But the man
who saw conspiracies everywhere, who was an equal
opportunity bigot, and who decried America’s moral
decrepitude, had, himself, a skeleton in the closet.
It came to light in a curious way. An Orange County
child abuse case in 1982 concerned a
thirteen-month-old infant who was discovered with hair
so tightly wound around his penis that the organ had
nearly been severed. The baby was placed in protective
custody, and the court demanded that the father step
forward. It turned out to be none other than John G.
Schmitz, now again a state senator, paterfamilias of
five children and, er, two others with his German
mistress, once his student at Santa Ana. It marked the
end of Schmitz’s political career (although he did
attempt to run for Congress once more). The charges
against the mother were eventually dropped and the
infant restored to her care. But it was never
explained what was going on with the hair-wound penis.
One historian has suggested that it was a ‘mysterious
sex—or probably anti-sex ritual . . . as if a chastity
device.’ Schmitz, feisty as ever, remarked, ‘I ought
to get the Right to Life man-of-the-year award for
this.’”

IRAN-CONTRA
http://delong.typepad.com/sdj/2006/03/the_entire_cato.html

John Schmitz was the father of the Bush I aide most
involved in Iran-Contra, John P. Schmitz, who refused
to testify before the Walsh Commission ...

IS JOHN P. SCHMITZ A KEY PLAYER IN 9/11?
http://www.voxfux.com/articles%28closed)/00000010.htm

John P. Schmitz, George H.W. Bush’s former Deputy
Counsel during the Elder’s Vice-Presidency and
Presidency, will likely be a key player if Americans
force Congress to become serious about its 9/11 probe.
Some may remember Schmitz from the Iran/contra
investigation, when the Office of the Independent
Counsel (OIC) reported that each witness interviewed
regarding document production complied except for
Schmitz, who asserted that his documents were
privileged work product.

Schmitz, fluent in German and a Partner in global-law
firm Mayer, Brown & Platt, has clients that include
Bayer AG (German maker of the antibiotic Cipro which
fights Anthrax, about which Larry Klayman and Judicial
Watch (JW) will have keen interest. Recently, JW filed
suit seeking the Administration’s anthrax documents to
ascertain why the White House starting taking heavy
doses of Cipro the day of the attacks -- nearly a
month before anthrax was even discovered on Capitol
Hill, and while postal workers continued to sort mail
in contaminated offices -- some dying in the process.

But John Schmitz’s Mayer-Brown profile also reveals
that he represents Enron, adding that “we were active
in Germany [with Enron] until the end....It
[bankruptcy] surprised me as well as anyone else,”
according to

Reuters (1-4-2002). Moreover, Mayer-Brown also
represents Deutschebank on a regular basis regarding
its electronic commerce activities; and curiously,
Schmitz’s law firm maintains an office in Tashkent,
Uzbekistan along with Enron -- if only to make sure
oil is well in the Caspian Sea basin.

Even many 9/11 victim families will even come to
recognize Mayer-Brown; for conveniently, the firm also
happens to represent United Airlines against 9/11
family lawyers Mary Schiavo and Donald Nolan. And
given partner John P. Schmitz’s close former
relationships with the Bush family, Mayer-Brown’s many
water coolers may become intriguing conduits when Miss
Schiavo and Mr. Nolan begin their respective legal
discovery initiatives regarding who will be subpoenaed
or deposed and what evidence is or is not revealed.

Michael Feagley, a Mayer-Brown lead attorney in more
than 35 jury and bench trials, and evidentiary
hearings, is a recognized expert in witness testimony
and evidence. And like 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund
Special Master Kenneth Feinberg, Feagley is an also an
authority on alternative dispute resolution techniques
- the art of bringing parties together to compromise
in legal disputes. His law firm biography lists the
art of avoidance of and preparation for potential
future litigation as an additional key area of
expertise.

Mayer-Brown’s website also lists a connection to
President Bush’s family, in that one of its partners,
John P. Schmitz, personally represents and lobbies for
both Enron and Bayer AG, while also sitting on the
Trustee Board of Bayer Foundation. Moreover, Schmitz,
fluent in German, was White House Deputy Counsel when
George H. W. Bush was both President and Vice
President, making the story’s legs that much more
interesting.

Mayer-Brown also has clients that include Bayer AG
(German maker of the antibiotic Cipro which fights
Anthrax, about which Larry Klayman and Judicial Watch

JW has filed suit seeking the Administration’s anthrax
documents to ascertain why the White House starting

a regular basis regarding its electronic commerce
activities; and curiously, Schmitz’s law firm
maintains an office in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, along
with Enron -- if only to make sure oil is well in the
Caspian Sea basin.

And Deutsche Bank is knee-deep in pre-9/11 insider
trading stock profits. Enough said.

Ben Veniste, for his part, was very cordial to us,
even as we asked him about his recusing himself from
participating in writing airline safety
recommendations relative to his firm’s representation
of United Airlines: “I have already addressed the
conflict of interest issue.”

Real answers, however, about how serious Ben Veniste
and other Commissioners are regarding their quest for
9/11 truth will come when it is learned which key
administration players will testify and whether their
subpoenas will be served “by consensus,” -- to which
Senator John McCain had referred during his Thursday
morning testimony -- or whether subpoenas will center
along political party battle-lines. This, while also
addressing issues of openness and public sunshine.

Mayer-Brown is a powerhouse multinational firm, with
offices in numerous Western European countries and the
United States. Interestingly, its website lists such
clients as Enron Corporation, both of whom maintain
offices in the Caspian Sea basin in Tashkent,
Uzbekistan - near Afghanistan; German corporation
Bayer AG - maker of cipro, the antibiotic used to
treat anthrax; and German banking giant, Deutsche
Bank, for electronic commerce activities. According to
wide reports, two of the September 11 terrorist
hijackers maintained bank accounts at Deutsche Bank,
including leader Mohammed Atta.

SCHMITZ & PATTON BOGGS

http://www.defenselink.mil/bios/schmitz_bio.html?From
1987 to 2002, Mr. Schmitz' private-sector law practice
focused on complex civil litigation, aviation
regulatory matters, international trade,
administrative law, and constitutional appellate
litigation, most recently as a partner at PATTON BOGGS
LLP.

His prior public service includes: 27 years of naval
service, first on active duty and then as a reserve
officer, attaining the rank of Captain; Special
Assistant to the Attorney General of the United
States, Honorable Edwin Meese III 

SCHMITZ COULD BE COUNTED ON TO
KEEP HIS MOUTH SHUT
http://www.ocweekly.com/columns/a-clockwork-orange/a-clockwork-orange/14543/

"Schmitz was appointed to his post by President Bush
in 2001 after the Associated Press reported the office
'was caught cheating' and destroying internal
documents. His office has broad jurisdiction to
investigate all Pentagon contracts, both in Iraq and
elsewhere. But judging by Schmitz's qualifications,
the White House had one thing in mind when it
appointed him: political loyalty.

HIS PERFORMANCE AT DOD
http://www.epic-usa.org/Default.aspx?tabid=1858
When Joseph E. Schmitz took over as the Pentagon's
inspector general in 2002, the largest watchdog
organization in the federal government was under fire
for failing to fully investigate a senior official,
falsifying internal documents and mistreating
whistle-blowers.... Schmitz slowed or blocked
investigations of senior Bush administration officials
...

BLOCKED AN INVESTIGATION
OF EDWARD "PETE" ALDRIDGE AT LOCKHEED

http://www.epic-usa.org/Default.aspx?tabid=1858
Another case in which Schmitz intervened came when the
inspector general's office began examining the jobs
received by Pentagon officials who left for the
private sector, according to another U.S. official,
who also declined to be identified because of the
sensitivity of the issue. One of those on the list was
Edward "Pete" Aldridge, the former Pentagon
procurement chief who took a job with defense
contractor Lockheed Martin. Schmitz would not sign a
subpoena allowing investigators to examine employment
documents, the official said. Instead, the official
said that Schmitz created a new policy that made it
more difficult to get information by subpoena by
requiring additional bureaucratic steps. During his
tenure, Schmitz also made it harder to initiate an
investigation of a political appointee, requiring
high-ranking approval before investigators could
proceed. A Lockheed Martin spokesman confirmed the
company had received a request that the firm
"voluntarily provide" information regarding Aldridge.
It said it had "promptly and fully" responded to the
request....

JOSEPH SCHMITZ RESIGNS ...

http://fairuse.1accesshost.com/news3/latimes137.html
... The resignation comes after Sen. Charles E.
Grassley (R-Iowa) sent Schmitz several letters this
summer informing him that he was the focus of a
congressional inquiry into whether he had blocked two
criminal investigations last year....
