Novak: Rove-Protege Tim Griffin Joins Thompson Campaign»

Robert Novak reports tonight that controversial former U.S. attorney in Arkansas Tim Griffin, who resigned last week, will join Fred Thompson’s presidential campaign as rumored:

Even before the official announcement of candidacy by former Sen. Fred Thompson (R-Tenn.), an all-star team of GOP operatives is gathering around him — Lawrence Lindsey, Ken Khachigian, Tim Griffin, Dave Bossie and Victoria Toensing, with more to follow.

Griffin, a former protege of Karl Rove, was formerly research director of the Republican National Committee. He became the poster boy for the politicization of the U.S. attorney process. Former Justice official Kyle Sampson noted that getting Griffin into office “was important to Harriet [Miers], Karl, et cetera.”

In 2004, BBC News published a report showing that Griffin led a “caging” scheme to suppress the votes of African-American servicemembers in Florida.

UPDATE: Atlantic Monthly’s Marc Ambinder adds: “Griffin is advising Thompson on communications and message and will probably be a consultant to Thompson’s presidential campaign.”

    Jesus Christ TP, you guys are doing a piss poor job.
    Didn’t you just post something about this guy not being able to find a job?!?!?!

    Damn… you guys must be high

    Right Said Fred - got me my own “Ragin’ Caging”.


  3. Admin Says:

    Mr. President — Apparently Griffin wanted a job in the private sector (obviously much higher paying) and is now doing consulting work for Thompson, but has not yet taken a job. The stories aren’t contradictory.

    Of course they’re not. You posted one the other day, and today you’re posting this one. I never said that they were contradictory.

    I saw the difference immediately Nico. “Mr. President” is just a perpetually whining neocon, not happy unless he’s complaining.


  7. TripMaster Monkey Says:

    Let’s just hope he can get the lunch orders straight. The last time someone forgot that Fred hates mayo, it took them weeks to locate the entire body…


  8. Candyce Says:

    Since law firms say they won’t touch him with a 10-ft pole, I guess this is all that’s left. There was no doubt in my mind he would join the Thompson campaign. Fred sure likes to hang with criminals and thugs, doesn’t he?

    Victoria Toensing who may have given false statements to Congress about knowing the Plame’s covert status was false? That Victoria Toesucker… er.. Toensing?

    And Fred Thompson is supposed to be the great GOP White Hope?

    He is picking up damaged cast-offs form the worst administration since Hoover (arguably since the founding of the Republic) as his confidants.

    ROFLMAO.

    That’s because Republicans have such limited intelligence that they can’t tell the difference between somebody who act’s president and somebody who is presidential.

    it just explains a lot of your uninformed statements. you were in high school when the iraq invasion started in 2003?


  40. Mr. Bush Goes To Hell Says:

    The right opposes timetables. The left uses one to medicate their children excessively.

    Funny how Bush was IN FAVOR of TIMETABLES when Clinton was president:

    http://thinkprogress.org/ 2005/ 06/ 28/ in-1999-bush-demanded-a-timetable/

    >>
    In 1999, George W. Bush criticized President Clinton for not setting a timetable for exiting Kosovo, and yet he refuses to apply the same standard to his war.

    George W. Bush, 4/9/99:

    “Victory means exit strategy, and it’s important for the president to explain to us what the exit strategy is.”

    And on the specific need for a timetable, here’s what Bush said then and what he says now:

    George W. Bush, 6/5/99

    “I think it’s also important for the president to lay out a timetable as to how long they will be involved and when they will be withdrawn.”

    [ed. note: article originally ran in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer on 6/5/99]

    VERSUS

    George W. Bush, 6/24/05:

    “It doesn’t make any sense to have a timetable. You know, if you give a timetable, you’re — you’re conceding too much to the enemy.”
    HILARIOUS how HYPOCRITICAL the BushNazis are…

    I see that Victoria Toensing is on the list. She testified that Valerie Plame was not covert. “‘There is not one fact that I have seen that there could be a violation of the agent identity act,’ said Victoria Toensing, a lawyer who helped draft the 1982 act.” The Washington Times, October 10, 2005

    “Charge” as in a monetary sum in exchange for my services.

    You in the hood, you’d crap your pants. Watching MTV doesn’t make you a gangster.

    Time to report Mr. Preznut’s post at 92, see if TP is going to let him keep sliding slithering along posting crap like that..


  97. yathink Says:

    Interesting that the Rovebots have attacked this story. Are you getting the current minimum wage or the new improved allowance from K?

    Dat’s old school Eazy-E shit, they don’t play that on MTV.

    So you’re soliciting for your services? What services exactly, and please speak into the microphone?

    I love it. Scum of the Gutter coagulate Together!

    Mr P and CT are BOTH in their early 20s?
    These boys need girlfriends, not TP.
    Comment by Zooey

    How do you know that it’s not really boyfriends that they need? And I don’t mean mere buddies.


  102. Keith G Says:

    Republicans DESPISE Hollywood but their most beloved President ever, was Ronald Reagan.

    And now they seem to be cheering for yet another lame actor.

    What a bunch of idiots.

    Comment by JPV

    And don’t forget Gov Terminator, beloved Nancy Reagan, Tom Selleck (also gay), Sonny Bono, Saint John Wayne, Bob Hope, Bob Hope, Chuck Norris, Bruce Willis & Gimme Moore.

    They also love sports celebrities like Jack Kemp, Jim Bunning, Steve Largent, and J.C. Watts.


  103. Keith G Says:

    See, it’s something that cha’ll are gonna haffta understand, most muthafahckas, we don’t give a fuk. See, we’ve transcended all this political b.s., and now, we just do what the fukc we want, say what the fukc we want… we don’t give a shit… it’s the wave of the future.

    Comment by Mr. President — June 6, 2007 @ 10:19 pm

    Fine, do your own thang—-But don’t force us to listen to it—it’s repulsive/disgusting/nausiating.

    Why come to a totally political blog if you are so totally non-political—just like annoying people?


  104. KYJurisDoctor Says:

    It looks like Fred Thompson is assembling a credible team!

    They’re gay as French horns, every one of them.


  106. Kate Henry Says:

    Well, I guess we know which candidate the Bush Crime Family wants to win in the next election. This alone would be reason enough for me to not vote for Thompson.


  107. margaret Says:

    I get the impression that Fred Thompson is AEI’s pick which definitely means that he’s not my kind of candidate!


  108. powkat Says:

    Trolls are kids? I work at a high school and kids that age think they know everything - we just smile and wait for them to grow up. Life gets tougher when Mom and Dad aren’t footing the bills.


  109. Karim Says:

    I’d love to see Thompson explain this.


  110. Keith G Says:

    Excuse me, but why isn’t Griffin in jail? It is a felony to take away the right to vote for a large number of people–based on their race.

    I thought Thompson was supposed to be a “Law & Order” candidate.


  111. RealDCC Says:

    I thought Thompson was supposed to be a “Law & Order” candidate.Hum. It appears he was just acting.


  112. older than you ~sticks toung out~ Says:

    I think it’s funny that the people who are calling people out about their age are acting like children themselves. This is an open forum people. Respect other peoples opinions. If your attempts to counter what someone else is stating is to stoop to high school style, cliquish, I’m better/smarter than you because…, it merely shows your own immaturity.
    If you disagree thats fine. Say why. You think someone has got their fact wrong prove it. However, this ” your young you must be stupid” attitude merely shows that you’re not very open minded. Which means you opinions must not be very well thought out.


  113. nrglaw Says:

    This guy has a real habit of hooking himself up with falling stars.

    Thompson….jeez.
