Clinton replacing the U.S. Attorney for Little Rock WITH someone who who steadfastly refused to look into ANY of the Whitewater, etc. allegations

Clinton replaced the US Attorney at the same time as all other 93 attorneys. The previous attorney was not removed because of investigating Clinton and other democrats or refusing to investigate anyone at the Clinton’s pleasure. This is the same thing that Bush 43, Bush 41, Reagan, Carter, Ford? and Nixon did at the start of their terms. The previous attorney Clinton replaced, appointed by Bush 41, also steadfastly refused to look into ANY of the Whitewater, etc. allegations further.

I know you’ve had this explained to you before but let me try one more time. Bush 43 has selected 8 attorneys he appointed himself for removal because either A) they are currently or had successfully prosecuted corrupt republicans or B) they were not willing to investigate or prosecute democrats in the run up to the 04/06 elections in order to embarrass them. In other words, they had a poor partisan performance record and didn’t prosecute to the pleasure of the president. They are also using a law hidden in the patriot act to appoint the replacements without vetting them through congress. NO PRESIDENT HAS DONE THIS BEFORE BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT HAVE.

Actually, Senator Mark Pryor (D-AR) has seen them. What they show is that Kyle Samson had a playbook that was implemented to get around Senate confirmation of Assistant United States Attorneys. The scheme involved stalling the Senate and lying to the members. The email says that all of this will be done in “good faith.” [quotation marks in original]

Senator Pryor – one of only six Democrats to vote for Gonzalez’s confirmation –reported on the floor of the Senate today that the plan was implemented and that pursuant to it, El Generalissimo performed exactly as directed. He says,

When the Attorney General lies to a United States Senator, I think it is time for that Attorney General to go. And again, he not only lied to me as a person, but when he lied to me he lied to the Senate, and he lied to the people I represent. And for that reason I am asking him and demanding that he resign today.

Shane, haven’t you heard. Michael’s a very, very special person; very important. His Mother tells him so. He’s so special that he can direct the arguments to those of his liking, call the shots, decide which questions to address and which to ignore, you name it. It’s Michael’s world.

It would seem that, if money spent is any indication, that the government’s special prosecutors did a very thorough job of investigating Clinton’s alleged Whitewater wrongdoing.

If, as the special prosecutors claimed in the final report, there was “insufficient evidence” to indict Bill Clinton, then it certainly vindicates Chuck Banks’s decision to stop investigating Whitewater, to which almcq makes reference, and therefore it certainly vindicates Clinton’s decision to appoint Banks.

Also, in Clinton’s case, the guy investigating Rostenkowski was a holdover from the Bush Administration.

Back to Carter’s case:

Let me also point out, which I haven’t before, the final sentences of this TIME article, “Again, the FBI Gets Its Man”:

Bell offered the outgoing prosecutor a three-month extension, but Marston declined. Said he: “I’ve been crippled by the events of the past few weeks. I don’t want to be a lame duck.”

Despite this unsigned TIME editorial’s criticism of Carter’s Marston firing as “inept,” it states:

Yet by all accounts, this information did not travel up the department hierarchy in time to warn Bell and Carter away from the urgings of Eilberg, whose telephone conversation with the President could be construed as an effort to obstruct justice.

Carter and Bell stated that they intended for the investigations in Philadelphia, including Eilberg’s, to continue, and in Eilberg’s case, they certainly did. In the absence of any solid evidence, I am satisfied that Carter did not obstruct justice.

No thanks to you people michael there is still enough freedom in this country so that Zooey can go to whatever thread she chooses. Do you have a problem with that you little twerp. People need your permission to leave a discussion. Keep threatening and trying to intimidate people and lets see how long you guys last. I suspect you trolls are so disruptive you’re just about wearing out your welcome. After all they won’t let us post on the conservative sites will they.

michael, how come you run away from every thread? Maybe because you’re a coward, just like you were in Vietnam?

Your head is so far up your *ss on these claims, I can smell your sh*t over the internet. Carter was criticized and investigated for the *single* dismissal, the very acts you claim shouldn’t happen now.

What does that prove – you’re a stupid senile old moron.

Clinton did what all presidents do, they replaced staff at the beginning of their term, and all replacements were confirmed.

What does that prove – that you’re a dishonest dim bulb, who’s too freaking st*pid to face reality.

At your age, senility and brain function often suffers. I suggest you go get that st*pidity of yours treated, before someone puts in a home for soiling yourself.

**eyes rolling**
