probed by 2 FBI investigations as he announces re-election.
The publicity is not good.
 
Mar 2005 - US Attorney Heff gets put on the US Attorney General death list.

out of town with the largest loss by an incumbent mayor in the
history of St. Paul.
 
Jan 2006 Citizen Kelly goes to Washington
to beg for a job and get revenge, he is well connected with
the Bush people.

		<description>Heh, looks like the GOP apologists have swung into action to do some thread polluting.

For the record:  &lt;a href=&quot;http://frontier.cincinnati.com/blogs/gov/abramoff.pdf&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;As the Abramoff indictment shows&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;the Indian tribes that were his clients wound up being among his biggest victims&lt;/strong&gt; -- he soaked them for at least $66 million (some records indicate as much as $100 million), then actively worked against their interests.  

See, while lobbying is perfectly legal, fraud and moneylaundering are not -- and Abramoff&#039;s real gig was as a moneylaunderer of GOP campaign contributions.  He used the dough he got from his lobbying front to set up various shell orgs that would turn around and become places for Republicans to get jobs, as well as serve the GOP in other ways, including cash donations.</description>

		<description>I think Heffelfinger is either misunderstanding Goodling&#039;s remarks, misrepresenting them, or else his response is being misrepresented. Goodling wasn&#039;t asked to describe her feelings towards Heffelfinger, she was asked what concerns she had heard raised at DoJ that led to his firing. Simply watching the testiony makes clear that it&#039;s inaccurate to say that Goodling&#039;s testimony accused Heffelfinger of &quot;spen[ding] an extraordinary amount of time as the leader of the Native American Subcommittee of the AGAC&quot;; to the extent this part of her testimony &quot;accuses&quot; anyone of anything, it accuses unnamed DoJ staffers of being unimpressed with Heffelfinger&#039;s performance (although I think &quot;reports&quot; would be a more natural choice of word than &quot;accuses&quot;).</description>

		<description>So the DOJ Staff is going after eachother. Wow, who cares -- let them pull the knives on eachother.

If this whiny DoJ-US Attorney person really thinks Goodling did him &quot;wrong,&quot; why isn&#039;t he filing a civil lawsuit for defamation?

Oh, that&#039;s right an &quot;immunity to prosecution&quot; is immunity to criminal sanctions; but it&#039;s not immunity to frivolous lawsuits. Why isn&#039;t the former US Attorney going to &quot;fight it out&quot; over a defamation claim?

If Goodling has done anything wrong, then let the lawyers who are going after eafch other . . . go after eachother. Pass the popcorn.</description>

		<description>This is why it was wrong to give the important job of hiring and firing U.S. attorneys to an immature, inexperienced partisan hack. Just one more of many reasons that Gonzales needs to be impeached. It&#039;s incompetence when a superior gives an important task to someone who clearly isn&#039;t suited for it.

The result here is that someone like Heffelfinger, whose professional life has far outshone anything that Miss Goodling could ever dream of achieving, has been trashed by the unworthy little bitch.</description>

&quot;â€¦and now heâ€™s addressing me in the third person.&quot; 

&quot;STFU&quot; is your own ignore list. Think that&#039;s any different, scholar?

Oh, and Professor Monkey, you won&#039;t be receiving any extra credit for indentifying my POV. I&#039;m glad you&#039;ve kept your handouts from high school English.

Finally, have your continuing suspicions that your dissenters could be &quot;someone else.&quot; As if that makes any difference, anyways. Just because it doesn&#039;t take much for someone to switch their user name on this site, doesn&#039;t mean you have to constantly accuse one person of being another. I mean, where&#039;s the proof anyways? You love to ask others for the source, but this time the burden of proof is on you. Tough, isn&#039;t it?</description>

Of course you would, Compie...after all, you&#039;d rather &quot;ignore&quot; me than engage in debate.

Don&#039;t worry...not expecting a reply, seeing as how I&#039;m on your &lt;b&gt;Ignore List â„¢&lt;/b&gt;.

 &quot;The firings were suspicious, I get the point. Now, its time to either issue some sort of charges/reprimands or move forward completely here.&quot;

 It takes time for corruption to fully decompose into its constituent elements. 
 There is no point in wasting to much time and effort on the little maggots who swarm over the larger corpse of the beast which will yield the most nutrients for the re-blooming of democracy in this nation.
 We will yet see this administration thrown on the dung pile of history.</description>

&quot;STFU.&quot;

I know, much more friendly and tolerant than the perceived &quot;meanness&quot; of those conservative threads. Thanks, but I would rather just get banned.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m surprised it&#039;s taken this guy this long to realize he was forced out to make way for a friend of a friend of Dubya.  This administration has turn justice on its ear in favor or partisanship.  The justice system as we knew it no longer exists.  The sad part about all of this is that Republicans voters and elected officials don&#039;t see anything wrong with it.  The claim to love America, but they clearly hate their fellow Americans who are Democrats. 

The people who vote for Republicans are the same types who supported Hilter in pre World War Germany.  They only see party and anyone who disagrees with them doesn&#039;t count.  That kind of thinking is going to tear this country apart at a time when we need each other more than ever.  The reason for my comparisan between Republican voters and 1930s Germans is because both groups believed in a single leader and party so much they were willing to give up their rights for the sake of the state.  When a people put the state ahead of individual rights and desire a totalitirian government, they not only endanger the themsleves, but they will lose everything the country has stood for.  Human history is filled with examples of people deferring to the state and in every instance government went too far and abused power.</description>
