guess Bush’s witch hunt isn’t going very well….
April 6th, 2007 at 4:27 pmtheir little plan has jeopordized every prosecution in the nation now – legit or not.
April 6th, 2007 at 4:34 pmActually, the conviction was overturned; the charges were not dropped.
April 6th, 2007 at 4:36 pmConviction was over turned, not charges dropped

I just wonder where they picked the jury from. A conviction so easily overturned points to prosecutorial misconduct. As officers of the court, they are required to be above partisan prosecutions, and they should be disbarred for their actions.
April 6th, 2007 at 4:44 pmConviction overturned TP. Try to get YOUR witch hunt right at least.

Jake’s a little slow; perhaps he should try Sarutan, and get back to regularity.
April 6th, 2007 at 4:51 pmOff topic, but I just saw the Monica Goodling is going to resign from the Justice Department.
April 6th, 2007 at 4:54 pmBREAKING NEWS:Monica Goodling RESIGNING TOMORROW!!!
April 6th, 2007 at 4:56 pmShe wasn’t an aide to Doyle, and didn’t even know him. She was civil service, not involved in politics. It looks as though Biskupic (the Bushie US Attorney) went after this woman to give the GOP some dirt to fling at Doyle in the election campaign (which Doyle won anyway). She was a purchasing director, who gave a travel contract to a firm whose executives had contributed to Doyle. She seems to have made the decision on grounds of the firm being the low bidder, and it’s not clear she even knew about the campaign contributions from the executives.
April 6th, 2007 at 4:58 pmTry to get YOUR witch hunt right at least.
Did Tp achieve some sort of rhetorical advantage by saying “charges dropped” vs. “case thrown out for prosecutorial malfeasance?” I don’t see it.
April 6th, 2007 at 4:59 pmI want to know what happened with Conrad Burns in Montana. No charges were ever brought and the USA was promoted. Life is good when you play ball?
April 6th, 2007 at 4:59 pmSad news about Ms. Goodling. At long last, have you no decency, sirs?

There goes her administrative legal cover. Which wing-nut think-tank will she be going to? Or has Fox found an new anchor for their crappy comedy show?

Wait till the investigations on her start; then Jake will really squeal!

Namejacker, fake veteran and liar Jake is back.
Your credibility, if you ever had any is shot, jerkwad.
Shall I Point everyone to your cut and paste source of your veteran claim?
April 6th, 2007 at 5:04 pmOr are you going to be honest and come clean? (not likely for an asswipe like you)
In arguments Thursday, the appeals judges called the charges against Thompson unfounded.
“It strikes me that your evidence is beyond thin,” Judge Diane Wood told prosecutors. “I’m not sure what your actual theory in this case is.”
April 6th, 2007 at 5:08 pm——————————
Seems to me that it’s the prosecuters that should be in put in jail for this one.
Forget answering Jake,I’m gonnapost the proof anyway.
You asswipes prove to me where and when you served, and I’ll do the same — don’t tell me Korea wasn’t a WAR — I was there, punks!
Comment by JakeRape — April 5, 2007 @ 4:20 pm
Please note the time the issue was challenged!
After a namejacking, this was supplied:
Fort Lewis, July 1950, 60th Signal Service Company — Pusan, Seoul, and Pyongyang during the WAR — later I ended up at Inchon and at the First Tokyo Arsenal. Then I was transferred to Kyoto, Japan. I left there in and was shipped home to Ft. Carson, Co. until my discharge.
You are back on the Ignore List now, asswipe!

Not true, I have often condemned the person who highjacks trolls’ names and makes inflammatory comments about that same troll. And I do so again.

Comment by Jake
Why did you cut and paste from his post, rather than use your own words?
April 6th, 2007 at 5:33 pmPlagerism is sooo easy to catch, liar.
If anyone (NOT on the “Ignore List”) has any questions about my service in the Korean War, please let me know.

Comment by PatrioticLiberalChristian(PLC)
As have I. Namejackers are scum, period.
Jake-ass highjacked MY name and I will haunt him over it every time his lying ass posts anything.
April 6th, 2007 at 5:37 pmIf anyone (NOT on the “Ignore Listâ€) has any questions about my service in the Korean War, please let me know.
Comment by Jake
Sure, invoke the list now rather than answering my question and the charge of plagerism. Coward.
April 6th, 2007 at 5:40 pmThose on the “Ignore List” should have thought about that sooner.
April 6th, 2007 at 5:41 pmWTF is an “ignore list?” My high school students show greater maturity then this A*swipe!!!
April 6th, 2007 at 5:46 pmI am a lurker and definately not on your silly list Jake.
April 6th, 2007 at 5:47 pmPlease answer Wayne’s question, because after looking at what Wayne linked, it looks like he is correct.
Well, SpottedHawk, I served with that guy in Korea and Japan. I don’t see how the fact that his story was up on the web — just because mine was not — disproves me in any way. Lots of the REAL world don’t exist here on this new fangled Al Gore invention, right? Please don’t try to circumvent the “Ignore List” again.

He probably is in high school, LOL
And thanks SpottedHawk…

Comment by Jake
After looking at the post you made, when you stole Wayne’s name, then the link, it looks like you cut and pasted from it.
Sorry, but you don’t ring true.
And you can put me on the silly list if you don’t like my response.
April 6th, 2007 at 6:19 pmBack to lurking.
their little plan has jeopordized every prosecution in the nation now – legit or not.

April 6th, 2007 at 8:00 pmjake is a coward, a fraud, and an unpatriotic scumbag. in short, he is new age republican.
Comment by dixie blood — April 6, 2007 @ 6:28 pm
As others have pointed out, it’s not just the new replacement Attorneys, but every single US Attorney who kept his/her job is now viewed as a “loyal Bushie” and a political partisan instead of an independent prosecutor.
Not only does it challenge the jury pool, but Appeallate judges may be taking a closer look at every case tried over the past 6 years. Or maybe not? Were they appointed by Bush? Are some of them “loyal Bushies” as well?
Take into consideration the ploys the Republicans in the Senate pulled when they were in the majority to get their nominees approved and you begin to grasp the importance and danger of ONE PARTY CONTROL over the Legislative, Executive and Judicial branches of government.
April 6th, 2007 at 8:06 pmIf William Jefferson is guilty of bribery…
…why the hell is it taking (the BUSH DOJ)…
…so long to indict him?
…I smell something rotten in D.C…
…once again…

April 7th, 2007 at 10:12 pm#30 Don’t ask about “THE LIST”. Jake has some kind of list fetish and insists we all know about it.
