And I'll bet they are spending the weekend coordinating stories.....

Same problem may well arise here as arose in the Plame leak case. That the "truth" can't be determined for all the lying and it ends up as perjury trials and convictions.

"And I'll bet they are spending the weekend coordinating stories....."

***************

Not if they're already lawyered up, they're not.

I suspect we can pretty much assume that any USAtty who was NOT fired HAS successfully been arm-twisted by the BushCo bullies at one point or another. Otherwise, they would have been replaced, too. It's those who resisted who are gone. And, sadly, one could claim that every case any BushCo USAtty has touched is now suspect, whether it's democrats prosecuted or republicans not prosecuted.

Kyle Sampson's greatest flaw was that he created a surprisingly naive paper trail, revealing that Moschella and McNulty and Gonzales spake with forked tongues.

Sampson, in attempting to demonstrate that he had earned a place in the "In Group", dropped too many names. Wanting to show that he knew how the game was played and for whom, he revealed the falseness of the DOJ and the administration's public lies. All in good faith, of course.

How banal, that finely detailed records and a lack of complete dishonesty should trip up an ambitious bureaucrat's evil.

Lie to Congress... go to jail.
Unless, of course, you happen to be part of the beauracracy... or a big donor, in which case you have the "get out of jail free" card.
It will be interesting to see how much money and time was wasted on these investigations to appease the public when thie final result will be that all these clowns will be on speaking engagements the day after Bush leaves office.
I'll bet none of them will be at veterans cemeteries.

You actually expect Tony Snow to answer a question? Not possible with out a script written by either Rove or Murdock.

"And I'll bet they are spending the weekend coordinating stories....."

Yes, they are definitely coordinating their lies. This has probably been the busiest weekend at the White House in a long time. It'll be interesting to see what their "coordinated" line of defense will be - since Alberto has already apologized.

My hunch is that Karl Rove is giving all the soldiers their marching order this weekend - with Bush whispering to Rove from behind the curtain. They are a team.

But we will not hear the word "lie" from this bunch. There were some that "misspoke" or may have "hazy memories" of the events but no one "intentionally" misled Congress or the American people. That will be their songsheet.

The quote below from David Iglesias raised an important issue that I've not heard anyone pursue yet. If Iglesias thinks he and the others were fired because they didn't "play ball" then someone ought to look into waether any of the remaining U.S. Attorneys have played ball. Were there suspiciously convenient indictments filed in the lead up to last falls elections?

"I believe, and I think all my colleagues believe, the real reason is partisan politics," the former U.S. Attorney for the District of New Mexico, David Iglesias told CBS Evening News anchor Katie Couric. "I believe I was fired because I did not play ball

Karl Rove and co-ordinating stories:

There is a thread at DailyKos and Firedoglake concerning evidence of Rove's assistant using email servers owned by the Republican National Committee. Fitzgerald apparently was aware of them in the Libby trial. It is not clear if he subpoened anything off them, but suffice it to say Rove has a habit of communicating via non-Federal lines when co-ordinating his activities with other Federal offices including the OVP. I suspect it is true of DOJ and other organs of government. You suppose Waxman would be able to subpoena this traffic for this time frame when he calls his witnesses?

They say Owners and their dogs look alike.

I thought it was just me but the resemblence is...scary. I thought the Rethugs were aganst human cloning?

Let me press the issue of the SURVIVING US-A's, if Iowa is any indicator, there is an ongoing conspiracy against Democrats, by Republican planted US-A's, and it may have actually accelerated since this exposure of their colleagues questionable removal and replacements.

Matt McCoy, the Democratic state senator from Des Moines' south side, is being persecuted in a classic case of entrapment, by the US-A that was appointed to that district.

If it is proven that there's a provable passle of politics in this process, wouldn't these US-A's themselves be subjest to some serious scrutiny from Conggress?

One thing is for certain, it certainly opens the door for McCoy's defense attorney to demand charges be dropped.

This political hackery makes our US-A's impotent.

When they can't be trusted to keep politics out of the legal process, they surrender their legal credibility and provide a very good case for the defense to use against all of them, regardless of the guilt or innocence of the defendant.

Am I using the term "conspiracy" too loosely here?
Or is it really quite accurate. If there is an agreement (8 to 1 prosecutions against Dems vs. Reps should be proof enough) between these Loyalists to "go after" Dems, and more thanone of them agreed to this plan, isn't that, essentially, a conspiracy?

From what I've read about "bushies" in these emails, it would appear there are about 85 co-conspirators we can be sure were involved (93-8), and at least two DOJ administrators, AND old TBlossom hissef', it all seems to be in those emails.

"Fortunately, all three men are scheduled to make appearances before the House and Senate judicial committees, so they'll have plenty of chances to lay blame."

Hey, that's a switch -- now it's the REPUBLICANS who are forming circular firing squads.

Any connection between Janet Reno firing all USAttys (91 if I recall) when Bill took over the white house and six of them being fired now? Love conspiracy theories!

Looks mostly jumping up and down and slowing down government than leadership by the new majority!

Thanks, F. AUSA. I realized after I posted that N.D. Cal probably stands for Northern District - California. Kevin Ryan was USA in that district in December 2006. He seems to have been added to the DOJ hit list in connection with an EARS evaluation.

Firing Ryan appears to be a somewhat spur of the moment decision made only five days before the purge.

The firings of US attorney Carol C. Lam and Daniel Bogden were connected through one case that just so happened to be the first time the Patriot Act was used in a non-terrorism related case. The investigation, and the subsequently comprehensive search for financial records ended up getting Sheldon Adelson, the 6th richest man in the world and fervent Bush supporter, involved by highlighting $190,000 of contributions he gave to the now convicted ex-County Commissioner and Lobbyist Lance Malone. It is a highly complicated case that demonstrates that Mark Corallo, who has worked as spokesman for both Karl Rove and Attorney General Gonzales, and also at the Republican National Committee was most likely the go-between to help spur these firings on behalf of Sheldon Adelson.

In response to nobody:

Some folks seem to have just enough knowledge about the subject to be dangerous. It's obvious that "Democracy in Iraq" has read very little on the subject. He probably gets much of his information from FOX News. Otherwise, he would have known the difference. He is most likely armed with similar facts as most other Americans.

The man who campaigned as the Great Uniter, and declared himself the Great Decider, will burn in history as the Great Divider with all of the catastrophic consequences that are escalating every hour, of every day.

How pathetic that as the sun begins to set on his failed Presidency, he blames the people of our Nation, saying we have some psychological trauma rather than learning the lessons of his enormous mistakes. He will never understand that a grateful nation would rise with relief, if he only had the wisdom to learn and change, and a grateful world will rise with relief, when his days in
office are done.

George W. Bush will be impeached by the court of history for using 9-11 to create fear throughout the land, rather than bravery, courage and valor.

George W. Bush will be impeached by the court of history for using 9-11 to launch partisan and dishonest attacks on genuine American war heroes because they happen to be members of the other political party.

George W. Bush will be impeached by the court of history for using 9-11 as a reason to become the only President in our history to become a world-wide advocate for torture and detention practices that every leader, of every democratic nation, everywhere in the world, has publicly or privately pleaded with
him to abandon.

George W. Bush will be impeached by the court of history for showing contempt for the advice of our military commanders by allowing the man he compares to Hitler, to escape from Tora Bora, to pursue an obsessive war in Iraq, that many of those same commanders warned him about, while he publicly claimed he always follows their advice.

George W. Bush will be impeached by the court of history for treating the Chief of Staff of the Army with ridicule and contempt, when General Shinseki so honorably tried to warn him.

George W. Bush will be impeached by the court of history, for putting his hand on the Bible and pledging to preserve, protect and defend our Constitution while using 9-11 to claim the unilateral power to break it.

George W. Bush will be impeached by the court of history by accepting the sacred duty to faithfully execute the laws of the land, while using 9-11 to create fears to claim the unilateral powers to violate them.

George W. Bush will be impeached by the court of history for dishonoring a spirit that had Democrats and Republicans singing God Bless America at the doors of our Capitol, to personally promote a politics so venomous, vile and vindictive that he fills the air with talk of treason and enemies lists compiled by hate filled supporters.

Even when one of his media partisans slanders the Army that landed at Normandy and the Marines who took Iwo Jima with preposterous falsehoods that they committed war crimes, the self-styled war president lacks the moral integrity to speak out, for fear of offending what he proudly regards as his base.

Even when the trailer park trash of American politics slanders and demeans some widows of 9-11, this partisan who promised to bring honor and integrity to Washington lacks the moral stature to speak out, even against that.

George W. Bush will be morally impeached by the court of history for trying to frighten our people into war with Iraq, with tall tales of Saddam Hussein working with Osama Bin Laden to create mushroom clouds of nuclear extermination that would kill the people of New York.

George W. Bush will be impeached by the court of history for using 9-11 to fan the flames of fear so violently, that at one point, the Capital City of the land of the free and the home of the brave was turned into a panicked hutch of rabbits running to the stores for duct tape, gas masks, bottled water, and bullet proof vests while the Vice-President of the United States fled to hiding spots at undisclosed locations.

How ironic, how pathetic, and how fitting that as America prepares to honor the heroes of 9-11 the Senate Intelligence Committee issues a report detailing fraudulent exploitation of false intelligence, one of America's national networks exploits 9-11 with a docu-fraud of falsehoods, while our "wartime" President exploits 9-11 one more time, with one more taxpayer financed tour of fear, desperately trying to win one more national election.

Five years ago some of the finest Americans who God ever put on this earth gave their lives for their brothers and sisters, for their neighbors and families, for the country that they and we love so much, so deeply and so passionately.

No one ever took a poll to determine whether these American heroes were Democrats or Republicans, because it does not matter.
