OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE, connecting the dots:
The day after Carol Lam, U.S. attourney in San Diego, notified the Justice Department that her office would issue search warrants in an investigation involving Republican Rep. Jerry Lewis, (CA) a co-conspirator in the Duke Cunningham bribery scandal, Gonzales aid Kyle Sampson sent an email to the White House mentioning a "real problem" with Carol Lam and that she should be replaced sooner than later. She was soon fired.
In testimony before Congress, Samson said that "the problem" was with her lack of success on imigration cases. However, she was ranked as the third most successful prosecutor of immigration cases in the entire country. Her coviction rate on these cases was 100%. She also received a commendation from the director of U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agency for her performance on immigration cases.
Asked if Lam was notified of "the problem" before being abruptly fired, Samson said "uh......no".
Dan Dzwilewski, FBI special agent-in-charge in San Diego, said of Lam's dismissal, "I guarantee politics was involved." Dzwilewski was subsequently oredered to stop talking to the media.- Reply to this comment
The Justice Department responded by releasing more than 3,000 documents, including internal communications between agency officials, White House aides and some of the fired prosecutors. But substantial portions of the documents released were blacked out, or redacted including all emails from the two weeks before the firings.- Reply to this comment

- Why does the mass media ignore the story about Gonazales refusing to prosecute his friends running that texas youth home that was systematically molesting teenage boys?
Posted by truthword at 02:26 PM : Apr 10, 2007
Same reason the mass media ignores George Bush's homosexuality and pedophilia.
It would ruin his image as a strong leader and devout Christian, devoted father and husband if the media presented pictures of him and Karl Rove molesting some migrant worker's kid at the Bush estate in Texas. - Reply to this comment
- Better late than never.
Neither Ashcroft nor Gonzo are qualified to be attorneys general. The GOP rubber stamp congress should have never approved them.
Or, most of Bush's other unqualified, incompetent nonimeees.
Time for Gonzo to be impeached if he refuses to resign. Same with Bush & Cheney. - Reply to this comment

Not a peep out of the mass media about this.... The mass media have proven themselves to be every bit as much of traitors as the traitors in the government, they refuse to tell americans the truth about the NAMBLA administration.

- Oh my - my favorite combination of words:
DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS WITH SUBPOENAS - Reply to this comment
- Ask the fired attorneys if they object to having their "performance" problems brought into full daylight... I bet they will welcome such a move, thus removing any objection from the Justice Dept. that the contents are "private". The more light you shine on this, the more clear the picture becomes.
