Republican corruption has no bounds. It is amazing how deep it goes. They have inserted their evil tenticles into every basic freedom we the people are accorded under the constitution. Anger hardly describes my emotion.

I'm still waiting for replies from the FBI and the No. Ohio USA office after informing them of ballot-switching evidence in the Ohio 2004 Presidential election.

Actually, I'm not waiting any more. This DoJ does not act on such issues.

Do you think the DOJ will turn over any relevant documents?

I think that Congress could wait until Bush comes to the Capitol for the next State of the Union speech to have him arrested for the treasonous behavior of his administration.

Another hope would be for our former ally, Great Britian, to send over a double-O agent to clean house.

Has anybody seen Jason Bourne around?

Maybe God will speak to Bush and tell him what a mess he's made of things.

If government was run like a business George would have been fired a long time ago.

did your vote count -- yeah, and i'm waiting to see what charges are brought against the ohio state officials who destroyed ballots that they had been court-ordered to retain for further investigation.

What is the statute of limitations for phone jamming/election interference?

Saw a piece a while back (3-4 months) seems some guy went to the trouble of looking into election crimes and found that 8 out of 10 crimes against the elective process in the last 80 odd years could be laid at the feet of the republican party OR their supporters and that the only federal orders against or upon a party have all been put on republicans including the ones concerning civil rights and the elective process, seems they just love to think they can violate or bend into a pretzel our laws, kinda sick headed and anti-American of them since they claim the law ain't fair to them in these matters.

If Conyers just wanted to talk and not act, he wouldn't have chosen this relatively obscure issue.

I'd like to see the heat kept on these bastards, to make it more difficult for them when (not if) they try the same stuff in '08.

This incident dates back to 2002 - infancy in the GOP's voter intimidation tactics and DOJ slow rolling.

Just imagine what has transpired since then.

And don't lose sight of the fact that Haley Barbour was involved in all of this.

What happened to the US Attorneys investigation?

As excited as I am about the pending investigation - there is nothing going to happen. We have heard this time and time again "we will investigate". When no documents are produced congress will do nothing.

to all the naysayers who suggest this is going nowhere, just hodl on to your seats, because when this manure hits the wind machine, it's gonna splatter all over DC.

Rove's fake Democrats in New Hampshire may be indicted right along with him, when this is all unveiled. I would suggest that Mr. Conyers check the INCOMING calls to Rove at the White House that evening to find those fake Dems, they were the ones using their caller ID's to identify the phone lines they proceeded to jam.

Then check the outgoing calls to see who was doing the jamming, they may have already punished those scoundrels, but those fake Dems on the other end of this conspiracy ought to be busted, and it might behoove some of them to come forward now, so when the time comes, they won't get as harsh a sentence.

Anyone who participated in giving those phone numbers to Rove should be prosecuted as co-conspirators.

This is RICO territory, and their egregious abuse of our open system requires severe and exemplary retribution.

Should be pretty simple.
Throw the book at them.
And I don't mean the phone book!

Hot stock tip: start investing in shredder companies. There's going to be a whole lot of shredding to do before January of 2009.

I hope Conyers compares email addresses and routing information with those investigating Karl Rove, Attorneygate and other House or Senate investigations. The missing RNC emails involved in those probes might be buried in Conyers' material.

One question keeps coming back. Will ANY of them ever be caught and punished, or do they all just leave town scott-free on 1/20/09? Karl Rove alone must be involved in enough criminal activities to put him away for a few lifetimes.

If you read the letter carefully, Conyers is doing something new and important by pulling on the DC end of the string. The AP story gives the impression that Conyers is re-investigating what happened in NH in 2002.

What Conyers is asking about is what happened in DC in 2002 (something the FBI was forbidden to investigate.) Conyers is asking about ties between the White House and the RNC decision to fork over millions for Tobin's lawyers. Conyers is asking about Department of Justice decisions that led to the slow-walk of the phone-jamming investigation.

You have an excellent timeline for the phone-jamming itself, but I posted a much more detailed timeline of the DOJ slow-walk on Blue Hampshire:

"But the Democrats aren't investigating enough. ...
"I say they should stop EVERYTHING and focus on investigating the Executive to a standstill."

A completely agree with you (not about the gay thing, though), and I feel that all of the House and Senate investigations have been the most vital actions of the Congress since, well, I can't even remember when.

One of the problems is the bloody polls that keep coming out about dissatisfaction with the Congress's performance. The questions asked by pollsters need to first separate opinions about the Dems and Reps, and second ask whether that dissatisfaction is because nothing is being done (activity, of which there's lots) or nothing is being ACCOMPLISHED (Republican blocks).

I think the numbers would show that most people, no matter what their party affiliation is, are eager to have the truth come out through these investigations and are as frustrated as Conyers, Leahy, et al. about Executive stonewalling and lack of support in the Congress for moving forward--both from Republicans and voter-opinion-shy Dems.

Meaningful polls might bolster both the wimps and the fence-sitters in the Congress to bring all the truth out and have so much evidence of EVERYTHING that prosecutions could move ahead before everyone in the current Admin runs off to live in Dubai, where the law can't get at them.

Patience is a virtue. Revenge is a dish best served cold.
Our side needs to give Conyers the space , time , and unwavering support needed for coming final constitutional & criminal confrontation with BushCO . Our side also must remain optimistic-its the neocons that are scurrying for the exits. Domenici is not standing for re-election- and his heir apparent Heather Wilson also is tainted by the phone call she made to Iglesias.
Our side must also hold our lEADERSHIP accountable - I have reluctantly concluded we must have challengers in our primaries to Madam Speaker & Lil Steny Hoyer. We must have Impeachment put back on the table.
Meanwhile the moderate GOP'ers who want to be re-elected will start giving up the Neo Con swine that have attempted this hostile takeover of our government.
Ignore the Trolls like bUSHIE ( I bet its really Jake using another aka anyway ) .
Show Conyers some love - he's fixing to break hard on the phone jamming operation that was conceived and run out of the White House using Team Turdblossom.
