a-a-h, just bundle it with Alaska''s troopergate, they both will end the same, it is a shame! repubnoxious''s make their own rules and have their own reality.

Gonzales was never more than an incompetent *a*s*s* kisser who wasn''t qualified to carry the bags of a real attorney. "Berto" as Bush called him was a token Hispanic in the Bush administration just like Harriet Miers was a token women, both who were so far out of their areas of capabilities that it was a shame for them to be there.

Don''t expect too much from this "investigation," since Mulkasey refused to look into the matter of "justice" department hirings being conditional upon a candidate''s previous service to republitard ideals (even way back in college)
Exceptionally good candidates who were not bush-type zealots were told to take a hike. This was blatantly (egregiously, lawyers would say) illegal, but the neocons got away with it.

Old Dubya is like Santa Claus, he making a list and checking it twice(the pardons list that is), first name is Bush(pardon himself), Cheney, Gonzales, Miers, Rummy, Rove, Libby, Gates, Petraeus, Odierno, Crocker, Ashcraft, and 900 other people.

[hhroams]

Current attorney general Mucasey actually participated in the coverup, he needs to step down.

Why bother? Even if some one is found guilty, it is always someone low on the pole. Why did this take so long? Someone had to finish scrubbing emails?

[pirmin3]

How come they launch a probe only when they''re up for election?? I''d like to know what they do the rest of the time besides flogging the bishop.

Warren Buffet is a no good greedy A&& H33L. Who would sell his kid for a dime. He needs to lose all his money and every ones money who is dumb enough to give him any.

[upto1947]

This is a wast. Get over it. How long do we need to wast money on something that happen so long ago most don''t even know about it. WAST WAST WAST. Get a life.

[rickwar]

About time.

The second of probably various criminal investigations into the chicanery of this administration.

Dubya will be cutting and pasting over Libby''s name on the pardon form by year end.

Just watch.

The difference was explained twice, by me and even better by another guy, just a few posts down. Yet you repeat the same (false) right wing talking point. Unbelievable.

Sometimes the Republicans aid their clientele by special favors--like the rich man''s tax cut bill which was passed by the 80th Congress over my veto--or like their attempts to give away the Nation''s oil resources to all the big oil interests.

Sometimes the Republicans aid their special friends by doing nothing--by a philosophy of each man for himself and the devil take the hindmost. That''s why they''ve fought such measures as minimum wage laws, social security, and the protection of the right of labor unions to organize. All these things and others like them have been opposed by the Republicans.

The government is run by criminals, Democrat AND Republican. But there is no help from the private sector, because that too is run by criminals. Might as well elect Don Corleone President and CEO of the United States of Criminals.

[donbl1]

Who cares.......

Maybe we should go back to Bubba''s firing of all 100 AAG''s.

There are a lot more things important right now than this which will end up a non issue.

Bill Clinton sacked all of the U.S. Attorneys. He is a democrat so it''''s okay.
Bush sacked a small per cent of the U.S. Attorneys. That makes it a scandal.
If Obama becomes President and he can fire as many U.S. Attorneys as he wants because he is a democrat.

Hello moron. Being a democrat or republican has nothing to do with what happened. One did it when he came into office to get rid of the corruption and the other did it because the 9 wouldn''t follow his corrupt administration.

Rafterman1 is correct when he says there''s a big difference between Clinton''s and Bushes'' sacking of attorneys!

Every incoming president has the right to name his own federal district attorneys, that''s what Clinton chose to do. Bush could have done that too if he wanted to, and as far as I know, he did!

What you can''t do, is replace attorneys for blatant partisan political reasons! This is what Bush had his people do!

Attorneys were replaced because they refused to take legal action against Democrats, when a basis for that action didn''t exist!

It would be just as wrong and illegal if Democrats had done it!

I''m out of here.

Well, girls and boys, you can tell your grandchildren you lived through "The Great Rape Of America", or whatever the history books choose to call it.

Hopefully.

If none of my U.S. Congressional leaders will declare this vote of NO CONFIDENCE. I plead the U.S. military leaders to take siege of this totally corrupt government and declare marshal law; until a U.S. Constitution government may be restore.

Well, your heart is in the ''right place''! But, unfortunately you KNOW it won''t be done! I doubt you could find a military leader of high enough rank to pull it off!

And, it wouldn''t be particularly efficient, either!

Though, I do think that Congress should take some steps to make the executive branch act within the law!

Until the next election, and unless the public elects more honest reps and kicks out dishonest incumbents, we''re pretty much ''stuck'' with what we got!

To rafterman: "There is nothing to have logic about" at least you are honest.
