Aim high guys, but look for the smokescreen. The Administration is going to somehow bar/gag these folks from testifying given their role in "continuing criminal investigations." Having them testify in front of Congress could potentially compropmise those cases...

I'm waiting for Alberto to play that card.

An all too reasonable prediction, and in fact there are questions, and testimony, that might well "compropmise" "continuing criminal investigations." I think that Leahy and his colleagues are smart enough, and lawyerly enough, to craft procedural rules, to which the obligatin to appear and testify would be subject, that would prevent such compromise, and thus remove the claim as a meritorious objection.

ISSUE THE SUBPOENAS, DEMOCRATS? THIS IS NOT A COUNTRY BARBECUE. YOU HAVE MILKED THE STORY FOR ALL IT HAS, SHORT OF GETTING THE US ATTORNEYS' TESTIMONY.

GET THE NAMES FROM IGLESIAS, OR COMPEL HIM TO REVEAL THEM. REPORT THE MATTER TO THE ETHICS COMMITTEE. STOP PUTZING AROUND.

These committees and their senators have their own legal staffs. Feinstein, Schumer, et al, can get at the information regarding the firing of these US Attorneys - and who from Congress made possibly unethical contact with them - without compromising ongoing investigations. They can do this in secret session, if necessary. Just Do It!

Sunshine makes corrupt politicians hide and cry.
SUBPOENA d%@n you SUBPOENA!! If the Democrats don't play hardball with these corrupt Republicons they'll regroup.

Since the cases these attorneys were working on are not necessarily secret, these attorneys can appear before the Senate w/o the need to reveal details of their investigations.

Ah!, but who put the pressure on them is a whole different ball game. And, if I was one of those congresspersons, well, I think I'd take a walk on down to the theater.

The American people are getting a good taste of just how corrupt their elected officials are.

You don't have to be a blind conservative not to see it, just an ignorant one to deny it.

Don't stop with the subpoening the fired US Attorneys. Subpoena Gonzales and have him lie under oath as to why these US Attorneys were fired. Then nail him for perjury.

Be polite . . . Invite the ex US Atorneys first. If they are impolite and demur accepting the invite THEN supoena them.

Be less polite . . . Supoena Spector, his staff, his ex-staff for the last thirty years, their families and their friends. Supoena Gonzalez the Torture Czar, his staff, his ex-staff for the last thirty years, their families and their friends. Oh yeah . . . Supoena their pets, too.

A CRY FOR HELP

Please help the little person fight corporate America and their lies and false statements

On, Feb. 16, 2006 someone representing Citigroup Inc at One Court Square, 14th Floor, Long Island City, NY 11120, submitted a rebuttal to Ann Luekeman, Consultant for the Department of Fair Employment and Housing at 111 N Market Street, Suite 810, San Jose Ca 95112, and the statement entered is false and full of lies . Ann Luekeman also conducted the interviews for the investigation and was also lied to by Jeff Ursino and Kathleen Munoz during their interviews. I feel that the case needs to be investigated due to the fact that the DFEH made their decision with false statements submitted by Citigroup attorney and their employees. Sheri Paulo, the Employee Relations director for Citigroup was aware of the false information submitted yet even though they/she said they would submit a new statement they did not and stood by the lies knowing they were lies. I was wrongfully termination, harassed, by Jeff Ursino, and I can’t understand how an attorney lies to the DFEH and then they aren’t held accountable. This is unethical behavior on all those whom lied and I have to pay for their lies. Citigroup violated several Ca labor codes in the process of firing me nor did Citibank follow their own firing procedures. I was not offered FMLA until months later.
I am begging that someone out there will help a mother who was simply trying to work be a mom and a wife making a honest living yet the manager and supervisor both lied as well as the Citigroup lawyers. Their lawyers requested more time to answer the DFEH yet submitted false information and this is unethical, please help us. I have been on disability since I was fired on 12/13/05 via UPS, I did not know I had lost my job until 12/15/05 because I was out on a workers comp pending case when I was fired. Violation 132A.My last pay check was direct deposited into my checking account, it was not included with my letter of termination. I would like to know who submitted these false statements for Citicorp and or Citibank and Citigroup. I don’t have a team of attorneys as they do or the funds to hire the right attorney to get to the truth. Please help us.

Sincerely,

Damari Stratford
