Senate confirms ethics inquiry into Domenici.
Senate confirms ethics inquiry into Domenici.
John Bresnahan reports:
The Senate, thanks a resolution it just adopted, has confirmed that Sen. Pete Domenici (R-N.M.) is the subject of “preliminary inquiry” over his involvement in the firing of former U.S. Attorney David Iglesias.
The Senate just adopted a resolution (S. Res. 153) stating that “for matters before the Select Committee on Ethics involving the preliminary inquiry arising in connection with alleged communications by persons within the committee’s jurisdiction with and concerning David C. Iglesias, then United States Attorney for the District of New Mexico, and the subsequent action by the committee with respect to that matter, if any, the Senator from Colorado (Mr. Salazar) shall be replaced by the Senator from Ohio (Mr. Brown).”
The passage of the resolution confirms that Domenici is being scrutinized by the Ethics Committee over a phone call he made to Iglesias, prior to the November election, inquiring whether Iglesias was going to indict some New Mexico Democrats. Up until this point, the Ethics Committee has refused to state whether it is actually investigating Domenici.

Good.
April 17th, 2007 at 8:56 pmThey might slap his patty, lightly… censure or some such.
April 17th, 2007 at 8:57 pmDomenici has friends that would throw Bush into the abyss before Oily Peter…….
This is getting good.
April 17th, 2007 at 8:57 pmOy, how embarrassing. Should have been straight up, eh Pete?
April 17th, 2007 at 8:57 pmHey, Y’all:
I think I killed Jake (I told him how much his BS benefitted our ability to react to neocon talking points). Now I think he’s dead - he hasn’t posted all day.
Good.
April 17th, 2007 at 9:14 pmsmafdy,
Now you’ve summoned him…..oy.
April 17th, 2007 at 9:16 pmuh…is there any way to put a cork in the bottle?
April 17th, 2007 at 9:17 pmJeez - you don’t miss him do you?!
April 17th, 2007 at 9:21 pmBe glad he’s “out.”
smafdy,
No idea. Good luck with that one.
I wish there was a way to put a cork in the juvenile male turkey.
Heh.
April 17th, 2007 at 9:23 pmDomenici is considering retiring - wonder why?
This investigation may not produce anything despite its potential, but if it results in his leaving, a Democrat can take his place. One more for our side.
BTW, Johnson is making much improvement and his office is being fitted for handicap, in preparation for his return.
April 17th, 2007 at 9:23 pmJake is coming back as “Angela” a 5 year old catholic grandma from Queens who’s grandson…let’s call him “Joey”… is an SPC serving in Iraq. “Angela” is helping the wife…”Theresa” with the “twins”. they’re infants, all three of them (yes, his story already has holes in it) and they haven’t been named, or baptized because the family wants to wait until “Joey” gets back from fighting them over there so his kids won’t have to fight them here damn it. Every time we post about bush on this site, well “Joey’s ” morale just goes down the tubes! Don’t you feel guilty already?
April 17th, 2007 at 9:24 pm#10 Domenici was planning on retiring anyway. Hopefully Dems can flip his seat. Heather Wilson was supposed to be the heir apparent but I am thinking she might be a little tarnished now.
April 17th, 2007 at 9:30 pmWill ‘angela’ be wearing a bath robe and slippers when she posts?
April 17th, 2007 at 9:31 pmA large land grant (from way back in the Spanish times, I believe)
April 17th, 2007 at 9:37 pmon the west side of Albuquerque was liquidated recently. The members of the trust all received their monies.
Far less in total, compared to what it is now worth in the hands of the developers.
At the time of voting for it’s liquidation, the issue arose of Domenici having bought a large parcel directly on the borders of this land grant. He stood to benefit greatly from the sale.
One down 47 to go. The Senate should investigate every Rethug Senator and declare them unfit to vote until the results of the investigation/charges are published. At the very least they could be charged with a SWD. Senating While Dumb.
April 17th, 2007 at 9:37 pmThis may be the world’s first example of the “pajama defense.”
“No, I tell you, I’m just batsh!t freakin’ crazy, that’s all!”

Yeah, that sounds good. Curlers too? With a menthol hanging out of her mouth?

April 17th, 2007 at 9:46 pmThis will need to produce more than a spanking to threaten Domenici. The only person in NM who could mount a credible campaign against him is running for President. If he decides to retire, however, the D’s will be in a very good position.

You folks at TP and CAP are gonna have your hands full making logical arguements against Richard Perle on PBS’s America at a Crossroad.

April 17th, 2007 at 10:30 pmRichard Perle? Another Neocon AIPAC TRAITOR to the USA???
Quote the TRAITOR all you want…
In the meantime, the Democratic Congress is doing the PEOPLES’ BUSINESS of investigating the TRAITORS which are BushCrime (TM)
And Gonzo goes on the hot seat on Thursday to explain WHY his underlings say he is LYING…
And the WH claims “?CLEAR Executive interest” in RNC emails???

He just said there was a time when Americans thought the Soviet Union and it’s type of communism were here to stay according to the left, equating the current lefty idea about terror.

absoeffinglutely!
April 17th, 2007 at 10:35 pmFor the latest news, hearings, legal filings and other essential documents on the Bush DOJ prosecutor firings, see:
April 17th, 2007 at 10:40 pm“The U.S. Attorney Scandal Documents.”
Perle said one very important thing tonight. And he did it while at the same time he had conversations with VIPs who dissagreed with him. He put there himself out and took it like a man while people like Buchanan through it all in his face. But he said “no terror? no American involvment” (para).
April 17th, 2007 at 10:50 pmAnd it really is that simple. And he was not shy about the reality that the Neocons want to use the Iranian youth to overthrow the Islamic Republic. And I’m here to tell you that is how it’s going to play out. Period. The only remaining question is will the military be involved or not.
It’s my understanding this guy is a moron. Could we also get that Heather lady too? She’s a real peice of work.
As long as folks are going down.

I do believe we’ve been put on notice.
Now I’m all nervous….
April 17th, 2007 at 11:38 pmRichard Perle? You mean this Richard Perle? http://www.boomantribune.com/story/2005/8/16/17528/9531
Don’t make me laugh.
April 17th, 2007 at 11:43 pmNews is rally getting sparse when one sees the Honorable(?) Sen. Pete Domenici’s name and the word ‘ethics’ in a single sentence.
April 18th, 2007 at 1:00 amOops. Another one bites the dust. Who will be next? *snickers*
April 18th, 2007 at 1:03 amCan we organize as group to put pressure on somebody in the House and try to force them to file an ethics complaint against Heather Wilson? I’ll put in time/effort for this…
I just searched for about 10 minutes online for a clear and usable list of House Democrats…couldn’t find shit. Slow connection so I gave up. Anybody find and post a list so we can decide some likely targets?

is he the one that said we’d be greeted with flowers? or was he the one who said iraq’s oil revenues would pay for its reconstruction??
