Administration targeted another U.S. attorney.
“The Bush administration considered firing the former U.S. attorney in Minnesota, but he left his job voluntarily before the list of attorneys to be ousted was completed.” Thomas Heffelfinger’s case interests congressional investigators “because he worked in one of the states that White House political adviser Karl Rove identified as an election battleground, and…was replaced by a 34-year-old Bush administration loyalist who’d been a member of Gonzales’ inner circle.”

April 27th, 2007 at 12:29 amDoes anyone see a pattern of collusion here? Can you say Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act.

It’s Jake the idiot. Your mom called while you were gone and said to pick up some milk, and cookies for your troop meeting tomorrow.

While you were gone? BAHAHAHAHA, yeah right. Like you weren’t Judy, Elizabeth, and the rest of the VERY OBVIOUS versions of you. Poor Jake, either you’re even a more miserable LIAR than you look, or you poor pathetic b*st*rd, you have multiple personality disorder! That would explain why your such a ‘waco’ lunatic!!! Poor little lying piece of sh*t. If you weren’t such a st*pid fool, we might feel sorry for you! BAHAHAHA
I’ll give you a *hint* idiot, the threads are still here, you can see what you’ve *missed* yourself, instead of *pretending* like you’ve not been posting under other aliases. BHAAHHA, what a poor little fool!!!

What, so the lurkers see how st*pid you wingnuts are? Don’t worry, child, they already know that. It’s why you and your policies are so unpopular, you poor, st*pid little dum bass…
April 27th, 2007 at 12:44 amThank you, #16
I have to wonder if Rudy Giuliani, who helped craft the RICO Act as a Federal attorney back in the 60’s, could have ever imagined his baby would someday be used to put his ENTIRE political party behind bars?
When good ole Al Gonzalez, or Lurita Doan for that matter, testify and can’t remember a darn thing about conversations or meetings they just had the day before, ever notice how much it’s JUST LIKE watching a mafioso on the stand… “I don’t recall, your honor”, I can’t remember, your honor”, “to the best of my recollection, your honor”…

No no, no. Bad troll. You must stay alert at your post until new talking points arrive in the morning.
April 27th, 2007 at 1:28 amBack in my time, U.S. Attournys didn’t serve at the pleasure of the president, they were hung by them. I remember back in ought 6 it was, we called it ought 6 cuz we didn’t have no newfangled ideas about centurys back then, we was more concerned with not coming down with the feebles. Now feebles was a disease the like of which you young punks have never seen. it made a person wear his shoes on the wrong feet. which is why we won the big war, the kaiser couldn’t tell if we were coming or going….what, it’s time for my pills agin?
