and still the pig rove runs free....shame on you Congress for not putting that little piggy away!

Now that there is an independent prosecutor assigned to this abuse of power, perhaps we will find out just what Karl did.

We will NEVER know everything KR has done to execute the PNAC agenda from the White House or it's sphere of influence.
We are already aware of scads of pernicious machinations that Congress has chosen to ignore. We know that Obama won't spend any effort here, either. He will not be bringing anyone to account unless "egregious" acts are revealed.
After all, it will only take a generation or two to undo most of the damage. (We can't bring back any of those lives tossed away for the pursuit of the installation of the Permanent Republican Majority and the realization of it's covert schemes, but,...in time everybody will put it all out of their minds. Big media is trying to help us not to think about it already by keeping those creepy images of war off the air...)
No big deal.
No egregious big deal, anyhow.

the MAIN reason the GOP establishment would go so far to get iglesias or his replaement to rush Dem politician indictments and ficticious voter fraud BS was to effect the elections and the main component for blowing up those cases that iglesias was working on was the giant NM talk radio station KKOB and its RW local talkers who were already filling the airwaves with indignation and outrage at the 'massive' dem corruption and all the 'illegal immigrants' who were faking ID to vote dem. it was part of a national push but NM was one of those swing states that has already had problems with stolen votes.

we wouldn't be in this bush mess withut the talk radio monopoly to enable the whole GOP corruption and incompetence.

I don't get this refusing to show when subpoenaed? People used to sweat bullets at the sign of being subpoenaed. Now, it's like an invitation to RSVP--"Regrets, I will not be there."

Don't kid yourself about that "special prosecutor" crap. She's at Justice where Mukasey can control her. If Mukasey was seriously trying to get to the bottom of this scandal of corruption he would have gotten a special prosecutor from outside of the Justice department, one that was free to investigate wherever it lead them.

Rove/Bush know that even if Obama appoints a new AG that will investigate this event that all the USAs will then be dems appointed and they can claim "it's a witch hunt...it's a witch hunt."

These crooks of Bush hide behind the law and their positions to get away with corrupting our elections and these biased prosecutions (Seigleman etc). We really don't need any more proof... we know they're guilty...they are just gumming it to death till they can get away.

Expecting McCain/Palin to be any different is pure stupidity. Republicans have gotten in the habit of coning everybody with their self righteous hypocrisy. We're done with 'em and their little media trolls too. By hook or by crook the republican era is coming to an end.

The coming Obama administration will go after the gwb43 wrong doers - it will be saavy, & politically elegant by making certain the investigation is independent & non partisan.( Jane Harmon for example is going to have some "explaining to do" ). Keep your eye on USA John Durham -currently investigating the CIA 's torture tape being released to the public.
John Durham will make an excellent special prosecutor -he is reputed to be on the Obama short list for this very important position.
"You want the truth -you can't handle the truth !" Oh yes we do want the truth , and we can handle the truth -and we also want and can handle justice - I for one have full faith & confidence in the coming Obama administration to restore our Constitution & Rule of Law..
I repeat keep your eye on John Durham ,once his current investigative work goes public.
And once more I would recommend Mr Iglesias 's book "Injustice " .

The thing from this bit that jumps off the page to me is the way they were proposing to handle someone they were claiming was not competent -- promote him! That is more than a bit telling about the Bush administration, isn't it.

Obama is a realistic politician, not Batman. He has said (often) he will not prosecute these weasels.
And let's face it, it ain't like he's not going to have his hands full as it is.
He will be stepping into the aftermath of Cheney and the gang. That road is littered with monolithic death and destruction and will be supported by an empty treasury.
The nation is snared in the unprecedented freefall that was an inevitable outcome for this feckless enterprise that nobody in the halls of power could rein in.
The next administration will be the HASMAT crew. I suspect Obama sees cleaning up the mess as a fulltime job that puts the perps on the back burners. There's just too much else to do and even that is too much.
Still, I believe in karma, too. Unfortunately, that doesn't mean I will always get to see it's endgame.

That doesn't mean there were laws broken, or anything untoward happened: the Bushit criminal enterprise is well known for PROMOTING those who've proven their incompetence. They DISCUSSED promoting Iglesias, but in the end didn't do that.

I do admit, at the same time, that it is suspicious that they didn't award Iglesias a Medal of Freedom, which is their standard affirmation of incompetence. And that, instead, they fired him, which does tend to indicate that he was competent.
