DOJ's Inspector General To Tesify On Capitol Hill Today
The Senate Judiciary Committee will get a chance to grill Department of Justice Inspector General Glenn Fine today about the report he released Monday.
Fine's 140-page report detailed incidents of DOJ officials violating federal law by using political considerations in the hiring of some federal prosecutors and judges.
Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-VT) has harshly criticized the DOJ for the misconduct outlined in the report.

Do you think Sen. Leahy will do any more than criticize? Rep. Conyers certainly isn't doing much except write "strongly worded" letters. It is time to see some consequences for the behavior of the DOJ minions who unethically politicized the DOJ at the direction of Karl Rove, the author of all evil in the White House (maybe Cheney had a hand in it too...he of the "unitary executive" theory.)

Sen. Leahy has fought long and hard for justice without fellow senators backing him in votes. I understand he is retiring at the end of his term. Understandably, with this "Do Nothing" Congress he has come to the conclusion all is for naught. He and his determination for justice will be greatly missed.
