U.S. Attorney’s firing may be linked to CIA probe.
McClatchy reports tonight:
Fired San Diego U.S. attorney Carol Lam notified the Justice Department that she intended to execute search warrants on a high-ranking CIA official as part of a corruption probe the day before a Justice Department official sent an e-mail that said Lam needed to be fired, U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein said Sunday.
Feinstein, D-Calif., said the timing of the e-mail suggested that Lam’s dismissal may have been connected to the corruption probe.
Justice Department spokesman Brian Roehrkasse denied in an e-mail that there was any link.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-VT) said last week that while President Bush has the authority to fire attorneys at will, “if it is done to stop an ongoing investigation, then you do get into the criminal area.”

Bush Regime is tied into obstruction of justice and that alone is grounds for impeachment of Bush, Cheney, and removal of their entire cabinet too.
March 18th, 2007 at 10:34 pmSome politican syncopant was probably monitoring intercepted domestic US e-mails in the “War on Terror” that night. When he or she read Lam’s intentions, I’m sure he just couldn’t resist passing it onto the “proper authorities” at the White House.
And justice was swift.
I’m sure the Patriot Act has been used to monitor US Attorney’s calls.
March 18th, 2007 at 10:40 pmLet’s Fix Democracy in This Country First
March 18th, 2007 at 10:41 pmYes, I’ve heard this story. So tell me again: when is the impeachment and trial for war crimes?
Keep digging Dems. These guys got sloppy because they never had to account for anything in this admin until NOW. They screwed with the wrong DAs too.
Drain this freakin’ swamp. Who knew the corruption was so blatent. No wonder Rove was still so confident the repugs would win in november because they had so many tangled webs woven they couldn’t lose. BUT the American people and our will thwarted them.
Votes count when we COUNT them.Please participate in the process folks so we can get these arses out of government once and for all.

Exactly.
I hope that all of this eventually comes out.
March 18th, 2007 at 10:50 pmOf course the repugs will continue to obstruct and do nothing like the past 6 years except rubber stamp for Bush. But don’t get discouraged because when you keep digging a CRIME will eventually stick to these guys. Maybe not Bush but others will continue to fall on the sword for Bush-Cheney-Rove….and if the timing is JUST right someone won’t be getting a pardon…
Good work Dems…
March 18th, 2007 at 10:52 pmFrom McClatchy via TPM:
In an e-mail dated May 11, 2006, Sampson urged the White House counsel’s office to call him regarding “the real problem we have right now with Carol Lam,” who then the U.S. attorney for southern California. Earlier that morning, the Los Angeles Times reported that Lam’s corruption investigation of former Rep. Randy “Duke” Cunningham, R-Calif., had expanded to include another California Republican, Rep Jerry Lewis.
“The real problem we have right now with Carol Lam?” That’s nothing compared to the real problem you’re about to have with Patrick Leahy.

Of course the repugs will continue to obstruct and do nothing like the past 6 years except rubber stamp for Bush.
And that obstruction is going to lose them elections in ‘08. Of course, if they don’t obstruct, the whole Bush regime gets taken down and they are probably still going to lose elections in ‘08. They really don’t have a way out of this. It must really suck to be a Republican right now.

#3 – Unfortunately I don’t believe there will be an impeachment and subsequent war crimes trial. I think there will be a secret offer and acceptance of a resignation instead. I hope that proposed replacement doesn’t get confirmed first.
March 18th, 2007 at 11:05 pmDreary > President Nixon resigned after he got a secret deal from the Congress. He agreed to resign if he got pardoned of all crimes. President Ford carried out the agreement and pardoned Nixon. The Congress would be wise to do the same with Bush. Full pardon if he resigns immediately and then departs into exile in Paraguay with his entire family.
March 18th, 2007 at 11:11 pmJay – I am all for it and the sooner the better. I just hope our current congress does not under any circumstances confirm Cheney’s replacement. Can you say President Pelosi?
March 18th, 2007 at 11:16 pmThey should just impeach Bush and Cheney and be done with it.

March 18th, 2007 at 11:21 pmDreary > GOPers in DC do not like Pelosi much, but if she agreed to just be a caretaker president to fulfill the rest of Bush’s term, and agreed to NOT run for president in 2008 election, then they might agree if she took a Republican as a caretaker vice-president. Biggest sticking point to getting rid of Bush is the fear that his replacement would use the office as a springboard to get elected pres. in 2008.

March 18th, 2007 at 11:35 pmIt won’t be long until Republicans realize they have to jump ship to save their own careers. That should really be fun to watch. However, I hope the American people remember how these guys did nothing for 6 years while the administration ran rough shod on the constitution and the people.
March 18th, 2007 at 11:39 pmAnd the hits just keep on coming. Big thanks to Senator Feinstein for her contribution to the party.

Isn’t there something wrong with a system which allows the corrupt administration to decide if they will let their corrupt member testify?
March 19th, 2007 at 12:19 amThat and letting the President pick the Attorney General that should be prosecuting his corrupt cronies. Some of these issues seem like they need adjusting to make sure there are always checks and balances.

While we’ve heard a lot of crap from Justice lately, I seriously doubt that anything Lam did the day before her dismissal had anything to do with anything. The decision to can her was made long before that.

I suspect his high-school buddy, who is implicated in the Cunningham case, has been ratting him out for a reduced sentence.
March 19th, 2007 at 12:42 amAhh, the criminal area.
March 19th, 2007 at 12:51 amA well known hang out of the Bush/Cheney death squad.
Why is it that the major blogs are all pretending that they have never heard about the Dusty Foggo indictments (to be)?
We’ve known about this for MONTHS.
What’s with the pretense of something new?
• it is clear that both the Dusty Foggo investigations and the upcoming indictments of Rep. Jerry Lewis were basic to the desire of Bushco to eliminate the non-crony USA in San Diego.
When something old is dressed up in new gingham, one has to wonder why grandma thinks she’s going to get asked to dance. There is plenty of new news — we don’t need retreads to reassure us.
March 19th, 2007 at 1:28 amPorter Goss??? He was tied to Wilkes, Foggo, Cunningham and their DC limo/hooker parties.
March 19th, 2007 at 1:38 amhow would the justice dept spokesperson know if there was or wasnt a link if theres been no investigation? according to ashcroft gonzales theres no way to know anything that goes on at the dept due to their being over 110,000 employees. so how did they come to that conclusion so quickly? sounds like another lie to me.
March 19th, 2007 at 2:38 amWayne Madsen discussed some of the many troubling aspects of Bush’s criminality at the Democratic National Committee winter meeting in Washington, DC. The subject was the Bush conversations with Vice President Al Gore on Election Night, 2000.
It will be recalled that when Florida was declared for Bush well after having been declared for Vice President Gore, the Vice President, who was at his Nashville, Tennessee campaign headquarters, phoned Bush at his hotel in Houston to concede.
Just prior to Vice President Gore’s public concession, the returns then showed the Florida ballot count as again being too close to call: only 600 votes seperated Vice President Gore and Bush in Florida, so the Vice President phoned him back.
Bush responded to Vice President Gore, “Let me make sure if I understand. You’re calling me back to retract your concession?” Reports at the time stated that Bush was “not happy” to receive Vice President Gore’s call.
Acording to Democratic Party sources who were present with Vice President Gore in Nashville, and could hear Bush on the phone, the conversation then became menacing towards Vice President Gore, and his family.
In what amounted to an irrational tantrum, Bush reportedly called Gore a “son of a bitch,” spoke about the U.S. Presidency as somehow being part of Bush’s (sic) “legacy”, and then proceeded to actually make several veiled threats against Vice President Gore and his family.
A few GOP parties were underway at the Houston hotel and at the Governor’s Mansion in Austin at the time the phone calls were made. Section 871 of the U.S. Legal Code prohibits “Knowing and willful threats to kill, kidnap, or inflict bodily harm against successors to the president, including the Vice President”.
Section 879 of Title 18 U.S. Legal Code prohibits “Knowing and willful threats to kill, kidnap, or inflict bodily harm against categories of persons who are protected by the United States Secret Service, including members of the immediate family of the Vice President”.
From press reports, it was revealed that Vice President Gore responded to Bush’s raving hissyfit by stating, “You don’t have to get snippy about it. Let me explain something, your brother [Jeb, the Florida Governor] is not the ultimate authority on this.”
A Gannett reporter who was at the temporary Bush headquarters in Houston told Madsen that there was definitely an aura in the hotel room where the Bush family was gathered that the “fix” was “in”, and that nothing could be done to prevent a “victory”.
Yet, if Bush did in any way threaten the safety of the Vice President of The United States of America and/or his family during that conversation or any other, that would constitute a very serious Federal crime.
Gore surprised a number of observers in ‘04 by telling Anchorwoman Lesley Stahl on CBS’s 60 Minutes that he had decided not to run for the office of the U.S. Presidency, which has since conclusively been proven to have been stolen by Bush in 2000, using Diebold Blackbox tampering, questionable last-minute redistricting, selective Voter Registration roll purges, Voter intimidation, telephone jamming, TV smear campaign ads, “Push-polling”, recount “freezes”, and other examples of massive U.S. Election Fraud too numerous to list.
Steven F. Freeman, Visiting Scholar at The University of Pennsylvania, who specializes in Research Methodology, stated that the statistical mathematical odds against all three of the “shifts” favoring Bush as reported by the media in 2004 occurring in concert are on the order of “1 (one) in 660,000″.
“As much as we can say in sound science that something is impossible,” he says, “it is impossible that the discrepancies between Predicted and Actual Vote Count in the three critical battleground states of the 2004 U.S. Presidential election could have been due to chance or random error”. “I’m not even political — I’m a survey expert. I got into this because I was mystified about how the exit polls could have been so wrong”, said Freeman, who was a Republican. (See “The Tale Of The Exit Polls”).

He’s totally “full of it”.
March 19th, 2007 at 3:42 amWhy does it seem like every time we hear a loud crashing noise, we turn around and see a bumbling CIA operation?
March 19th, 2007 at 3:51 amOf all the crimes the Bush Administration and Republican Party committed, stealing elections is Number 1 and alone qualifies them to be publically hung.
March 19th, 2007 at 3:59 am“And as Senator Leahy notes, if that’s the case, then you’re entering criminal territory - it’s called obstruction of justice, and if two or more people agree to do it, it’s a criminal conspiracy.”
There’s that word again…CONSPIRACY.
An entire “liberal” web site (Crooks & Liars) has devoted ALL of its energy to preventing any and all discussion of any topic that includes the potential of a CONSPIRACY. It’s a legal term, yet for some reason C&L is committed to a course of total censorship if the word is mentioned.
How can that be? Is this the template for things to come? We’re in the midst of the grandest conspiracy ever conceived, with thousands of tentacles - yet anyone who dares speak the word is branded a fruit cake, or banned from posting.
Censorship is the greatest threat we face. The evidence of the scope of the Conspiracy is revealed in the fact that anyone who dares speak the word or provides evidence to expose the Conspiracy is silenced.

March 19th, 2007 at 5:00 am“They should just impeach Bush and Cheney and be done with it.” –Enja
If you mean THE REPUBLICANS, you are correct.
The Democrats do not have enough votes to convict, and such a process would hand the momentum back to Bushco.
“If this keeps up, that may finally be coming.” — JPV”
THIS is exactly how we force these bastards out. We out their crimes by writing them in evidence via the Congress. And bust their balls over every line.
Just demanding impeachment willfully ignores the complicity and coercibility of the Republican caucus. And it ignores the fact that the grassroots-supported Democratic party has to protect the Constitution by NOT betting it all on a single roll of the dice, like too many people, in their desperation with affairs, think is worth a try.
I’m very happy that Speaker Pelosi and the caucus are not so imprudent.
When you hunt abalone, as we used to do along the California coast, you pry them off of underwater rocks with a knife. The trick is to wiggle the knife and loosen the abalone progressively, until it finally comes free in one moment.
Trying to do it all in one motion, and snapping your blade, is not the right way to hunt abalone.
March 19th, 2007 at 6:02 am“An entire “liberal†web site (Crooks & Liars) has devoted ALL of its energy to preventing any and all discussion …How can that be?”
It is not a public website. It’s privately owned — no matter how popular or how much you value it.
Across the spectrum of political view, people are constantly trying to rally around DIFFERENT kinds of consensus. The C&L community has its own nature, and it asserts that in its policies.
Personally, I think of Nine-eleven and much of the conspiracy history is an ace in the hole, not a direct method of political change, er, ace. I also note often that a conspiracy-focused political approach correlates in many cases with an anger and distrust of community itself. The hostility and obsession released in such discussions is not everyone’s cup of Joe.

I got in a huge battle with them, resulting in dozens of my posts being removed seconds after I posted them.
Apparently , they don’t like for people to mention Israel, Zionism or AIPAC on their precious little site. Even if it’s done politely and thoughtfully.
I think they are seriously hypocritical over there. They constantly whine about the MSM censoring stories and then engage in their own form of censorship.
Needless to say, I have removed them from my favorites and have moved on. I hope than many others follow suit.

You haven’t taken the time to actually learn much about the people involved, and you’re demanding that they adapt to YOU, instead of you adapting some to them.
There are plenty of cultural reasons why people go there, and they are immensely popular. They are not, and will never be, all things to all people.

March 19th, 2007 at 8:13 amThanks to those who responded to my earlier points. I say participate in the process because I have “heard” supposed Dems, Libs, progs etc become impatient in the process and are threatening not to vote anymore.
Now I really believe most of these people are GOP shills posting on such sites about plotics and even seemingly politically unimportant entertainment sites about TV shows where plotics may come up a few times a year, trying to convince people on board to drop out with voting cause it don’t matter.
Reality IS th Dem majority is razor thin and try as they might they will not be able to FORCE these repugs into backing them. But like a snowball, it will get bigger and public sentiment will see the reality. Keep digging.
Beware of spinmeisters who will say the dems are backing off because they are not. They will have to enter into compromises when enough momentum is gathered. But please keep the heat on Gonzales. Keep the insulated Bush, Chene and Rove’s tits in a ringer.
These arseholes are the worst kind of scum. And don’t think they are stopping on their evil plans cause they are not. Their only option is to obstruct until their are booted out of the WH. Keep their crimes on the cover page of every newspaper, blog, messageboard, etc. Never let the American people forget the type of “dignity” they returned to the WH so they will cast their votes in the opposite direction.
These guys make me sick!!!
March 19th, 2007 at 8:43 amLet the obstruction of justice “avalanche” begin! Let’s get it all over with so this country can move forward which is impossible with all that we have obstructing it presently. No doubt now that Bush et al is at the “core” of this level of obstruction of justice. The american people want their Congress to take action “now” to bring a halt to this insane civil war and to bring these criminal officials in the highest places of this government to the justice they so deserve.
March 19th, 2007 at 9:02 am#52 I couldn’t agree with you more regarding C & L. They solicit input and then the BMOC censors it all and becomes “the decider” about what he will allow to be printed. Hypocritical at best;outright censorship at worst. Fraudulent claims for sure.

March 19th, 2007 at 9:06 amI can understand the concept of censoring profanity and threatening posts; however, I do not believe that it is within the purview of the blog to censor political controversies which, he, in his infinite wisdom, has decided are taboo. In general, it may be a decent blog but, specifically, the owner plays “god” way too much for most people’s liking. Speaking here, of course, about crooks and liars blog.
Because of the site owner’s personal preferences and censoring those he doesn’t like, his blog is suffering and has become increasingly unpopular. It’s a case of trying to have it both ways - and people simply will not tolerate the hypocrisy.

Liberty: Thanks so much for the info. Everyone needs to know this. We do know that this election was stolen now as we also know that the “fix” was masterminded by Diebold, Blackwell, and BushCo in 2004. The whistleblowers have been indicted already on 04. What we need to know is how much Jeb was involved in 2000 now since he’s make noises about a campaign. And, if Bush threatened Gore and his family, that also needs to be investigated but it would appear that the only individual who can bring this out in the open would be Al Gore. Will he pursue it?
March 19th, 2007 at 9:40 amSo, any guesses as to who the next AG nominee will be? This should be tough for the White House. They can’t pick another ‘fixer’ like Gonzales. He/she couldn’t make it through the confirmation hearings. It can’t really be anyone who’s been chummy with people who are in the White House now. It can’t be a Democrat, because that would open them up to all of the investigations they’re trying to block. I’m guessing it would have to be someone from the Bush I or Reagan administrations that isn’t remembered for any bold partisan maneuvers. Maybe Richard Thornburgh? Or maybe some loyal Republican U.S. Attorney that nobody’s heard of and isn’t somehow tied to the rest of the USAs in the firing scandal.
March 19th, 2007 at 10:00 amGonzalez = “Enemy Combatant” to the US Constitution, and should therefore be afforded ALL of the same “Priviliges” that he proscribed for those so designated…

I suspect that Duke, Jerry and Dusty are just the tip of this corrupt iceberg. There were an awful lot of details when the Duke/Hookergate story first came out. It seems that a lot of well connected “military contractors” made tens of millions of dollars for essentially doing nothing. I got the impression at the time that this was the heart of a GOP operation to funnel tax dollars back into Republican campaign coffers.
