Justice Dept. releases U.S. Attorney documents.

Bowing to a request from House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers (D-MI) and Rep. Loretta Sanchez (D-CA), the Justice Department has released a set of internal communications about the U.S. Attorney purge. Read them HERE. Below, a photo of Sanchez and Conyers holding the documents up today:

    That’s just sad. The people recommended for retaining are those that “exhibit loyalty to the President and the Attorney General.”

    And here I thought it was supposed to be loyalty to the Constitution and the rule of law.

    I guess political loyalty trumps patriotic loyalty for Republicans in general and Pres. Bush in specific.

    Is Darth Cheney quoted anywhere telling the US Attys to “go f*ck themselves”?


  4. Mary Poplins says:

    Is this lady Loretta Sanchez because I thought she had dark hair?

    For more on the White House connection and all the latest news, hearings, legal filings and other essential documents on the Bush DOJ prosecutor firings, see:

    Let’s get moving on the indictments. These creeps need to be “branded”, as a lesson. We don’t want this corruption to be repeated in our lifetime- I least, I don’t.


  7. Mary Poplins says:

    This lady that is standing next to John Conyers is not Loretta Sanchez.


  8. Matt Jett says:

    Isn’t it Linda Sanchez standing there? not Loretta?

    Talk about your smoking gun. There’s a line through Carol Lam’s name, indicating “weak US Attorneys who have been ineffectual managers and prosectors, chafed against administration initiatives, etc.

    Lam was behind the prosecution of Duke Cunningham and was going after Jerry Lewis. Since she clearly was’t “ineffectual”, I wonder what administration initiatives she chafed against?

    Well I just read them all and it’s 90% repeat mail threads. There’s no “reasoning” in there beyond “they serve at the presidents pleasure”. Nothing adds up when you consider their glowing reviews.


  11. FunMe says:

    Linda is Loretta’s sister!

    …the TRAITOR Gonzales…

    …these are YOUR people…

    …family members, neighbors, co-workers, friends, and acquaitences…

    …they’re all lost…


  13. JPark says:

    Yeah, that looks like Linda. She is definitely not Loretta.
