Bush Loads Up On Lawyers As Scandals Consume White House
Bush Loads Up On Lawyers As Scandals Consume White House
For six years, the Bush White House enjoyed a free ride from Congress during an era of one-party rule. Shortly after the Democrats took control over the House and Senate after the 2006 midterm elections, the White House began bracing itself for increased oversight. But back in January, the White House originally believed that its legal staff would not necessarily have to be expanded to deal with a new Congress:
Bush is moving quickly to fill vacancies within his stable of lawyers, though White House officials say there are no plans to drastically expand the legal staff to deal with a flood of oversight. “No, at this point, no,” Tony Snow, the White House spokesman, said recently. “We’ll have to see what happens.” Snow rebutted the notion that Bush is casting about for legal advice in the wake of his party’s loss of control of the Congress. “We don’t have a war room set up where we’re … dialing the 800 numbers of law firms,” he said. […]
People familiar with the counsel’s office caution against reading too much into the new additions, saying that Bush has yet to go on a hiring spree akin to President Bill Clinton’s when he faced impeachment.
Times have changed. A mere six months later, the White House has found itself consumed by scandals of its own making. From the partisan purge of U.S. attorneys to the “lost” Rove emails to potentially illegal partisan briefings at federal agencies, the White House has subjected itself to intense scrutiny from congressional investigators due to its careless disregard for the law.
As a result, the White House has been forced to expand its legal staff to levels it had not anticipated:
[White House counsel Fred] Fielding has so far created five new positions for lawyers, and filled another handful of existing slots. He has expanded the size of the White House counsel’s office to 22 lawyers — about the size of former President Bill Clinton’s White House team handling his second-term investigations and policy challenges. […]
“The workload and the need for additional attorneys is generated by Congress,” said Joel Kaplan, Bush’s deputy chief of staff for policy. “Fred is looking for the right mix and skill sets to deal with the particular challenges that come from divided government and from the Congress being in the hands of the other party. The counsel’s office is dealing with really an avalanche of requests.”
The presence of more lawyers, however, does not erase past wrongdoing.

Bush isn’t scrambling to find lawyers… please…
You ain’t know???
HE IS ABOVE THE LAW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
June 8th, 2007 at 5:22 pmno different than what I did, and the left didn’t complain. Shit the left defends my lies and poor management of government.

June 8th, 2007 at 5:23 pmWe’ve got to hit Bush and Cheney PERSONALLY…
…so they’ll have to spend their OWN money…
…that which they’ve stolen from the people…
…to defend themselves…

No Paris Hilton and I are above the law, so is OJ Simpson and Hillary’s buddy which i released from jail even though he was a drug dealer.
I am above the law, no one can touch me. Wait, wait, women can still touch me, ok?
June 8th, 2007 at 5:29 pmPAY ATTENTION TO ME! I demand that you pay attention to me or I’ll go Chinee Embassy in Serbia on you! I told you that before but I really mean it this time!
Oops. Gotta go. “My Gym Partner’s a Monkey” is coming on.

June 8th, 2007 at 5:31 pmQuestion… Who pays for all the lawyers he has in the White House?
Tax payers or him?
If it is the tax payer, this is outrages!
June 8th, 2007 at 5:32 pmNo, lawyers rearranging the Justice Dept. can come from non-accredited schools like Regent and Liberty, but lawyers defending this criminal cartel will hail from Harvard and Yale and the like, no doubt.
June 8th, 2007 at 5:33 pmBush is about to crash and burn…nice.

yes, that is what Monica said when she first saw my d*ck……I should have known then that she could be trusted to lie to a judge. You know I prepped her, I prepped in every single way i know, but the bitch still ratted me out.
It is because of her that I was disbarred for 5 years.
but still, my blind followers still love me, they love me I tell you!!!

The left didn’t seem outraged when I had to hire countless lawyers to defend me.
why are you outraged now?
My lawyers were in courts on a daily basis when I was President since I had done so much wrong.
Tax payers were paying for these lawyers back then, I take it you found nothing wrong back then, right?
you probably were for tax payers paying for my lawyers.
why are we Liberals such retarded hypocrites?
June 8th, 2007 at 5:37 pmI was wondering the same question, about where the salaries came from. Sadly I am thinking that despite the fact, I think he should jailed, I am paying for his defense, good news of course, I am paying for the investigations as well.
June 8th, 2007 at 5:38 pmWho needs ambulance chasers when you own the Justice Department.
Comment by Kevin Good — June 8, 2007 @ 5:35 pm
I know, who needs lawyers like John Edwards, ambulance chasers, when you have the justice department.
I agree!
Edwards is such a left wing lunatic, the bastard is holding hands with Danny, who is a Hugo Chavez supporter and we know about Hugo Chavez….he slept with Cindy Sheehan! how dare he, right?
that was for me to do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
June 8th, 2007 at 5:38 pmApparently, the noose is starting to get a little scratchy.
What’s the matter, Bush? Too many lies from Gonzo, Goodling, McNulty, Schlozman, Sampson, etc. to keep track of? Afraid you’re going to lose a friendly AG and see all hell break loose? Did the immigration bill start eating away at your miserable 28 percenters?
“It’s not right!” the weeping Hilton [Bush] shouted, according to the
June 8th, 2007 at 5:39 pmAP. “Mom!”
It’s ALL taxpayer money. Enjoy your next withholding.

You got that right.
All of this nonsense is costing the people money, and there isn’t a damn thing that can be shown for it.
Except maybe someone shines a flashlight in an underling’s asshole.
June 8th, 2007 at 5:39 pmBush could probably pitch in, except for the fact that he was denied admission when he tried to get into a Texas law school. Bwaaaahahaha! They must not have needed any *cheerleaders* at the time! Hahahaha!
June 8th, 2007 at 5:39 pmAny lawyer who works for Bush should be disbarred.

Patrick1, stop making sense! you Republicans come here making sense and speaking the truth, you are going to steal Democratic votes!
We Democrats can’t have individuals like you come in here and speaking the truth, our party is going to disappear.
Pelosi, Edwards, Murtha, Hillary, me, etc we need to keep the left wing masses as ignorant as possible, it is the only way we keep them voting for us.
well, and we also create pathetic social domestic programs that keep people dependet on the government and you know how much this benefits us!
June 8th, 2007 at 5:41 pmI’m going to ruin the moonbat weekend of pot smoking and welfare check fraud.
Chuck Simmins of TDW had been toiling away diligently, recording the deaths of terrorists as reported by MNF-I flaks. Turns out, they weren’t reporting them all. Lt. Gen. Raymond Odierno had a press conference recently, largely ignored by the press, in which he reported 3,184 terrorists killed since January 2007, and another 1,018 wounded. Simmins took that number, subtracted the ones he had already logged to avoid duplication, and then averaged them out over the last six months. Turns out our soldiers are killing terrorists at a rate of up to 10 to 1.
June 8th, 2007 at 5:41 pmMost lawyers are already thought of as bottom trolling scum.
Could you imagine the lack of ethics that a Bush attorney has to have? Eeeewwwww! I feel dirty just typing this.
How many Regent law graduates does it take to…?
Can’t wait to see how this plays out. I hope Bush and Chaney swing! Off to the Hague with you both! (Oh, and take Wolfie, Rummy and all those other murdering PNAC pricks with you!)

I love Hugo Chavez and other left-wing people that everyone knows are bad. You know why? Because I am wrong. But that’s okay, because you little sheep will follow me anyway. HAH HAH HAA. I am so funny sometimes.

Which nonsense? You mean Bush trying to shred the Constitution or Rove trying to turn the DoJ into the RNC’s very own gestapo? Or Gonzales claiming he doesn’t know anything and remembers even less, but he absolutely must stay on as Attorney General for the good of our country? There’s so much nonsense in the White House. You need to be more specific.

How dare you speak the truth?! I already told you to shut up!
stop making sense and stop speaking the truth.
We can’t have the American left wingers believe that there is any type of success coming out of IRaq!
We need Iraq to fail so that we Democrats can control the White House in 2009!
yes, we claimed while the Republicans controlled the White House and Congress, that it was terrible for one party to have control of these two branches of government. yet, we don’t care if our party controls both of these branches of government. It is the right thing to do.
We Democrats know more than Republicans (how to lie to the American people and steal from the government of course) We Democrats know better than the American people what is good for them.
We were born Democrats therefore we deserve to control government.
All Republicans need to be hanged, from the smallest baby, to the fattest black lady and we need to keep one party in control of our government.
Shit, the Mexicans did it, from 1910 until Vicente Fox was elected they had one party that was always elected, El PRI, and look how great Mexico is!!!

Oh never mind, it was my wife Hillary asking me if she could use my FBI connections to get some of her enemies illegally investigated. Never mind.

Your poor ignorant fools and sheep. But, like I said before, PAY ATTENTION TO ME or I’ll do to you what i did to the Chinese Embassy in Serbia.
So from now on don’t pay any attention to that “other” President Clinton. Only pay attention to me. I’m the REAL one, and I’m the only one you’ll get anything of value from.

Heh. You heard right…
I wouldn’t dream of touching your firewall, UKDave. :)
June 8th, 2007 at 7:04 pmhahahahahahahahaha!!!!
June 8th, 2007 at 7:05 pmI love it! “To deal with the flood of oversight.” You mean the balance of power that should have occurred throughout this administration? Why didn’t we have that, again? Oh, yes…I remember! A rubber-stamp, ass-kissing, circle-jerking Republican majority!

Nice and Cool. Real debate would be really nice.
Have a beautiful weekend, EVERYBODY.
I think I hear a pool table calling my name.
June 8th, 2007 at 7:20 pmLooks like Fielding was inspired by the scene in The Sopranos two weeks ago in which family consigliere Silvio Dante studies the handy book, “How To Clean Practically Anything.” But a word to the wise, Fred: things haven’t go so smoothly for Silvio since then, capish?
June 8th, 2007 at 7:33 pmNot just a flood of oversight…a Katrina of oversight!! And we know how well they dealt with Katrina!
June 8th, 2007 at 7:38 pmPatrick1 and Mr. President. Go F@ck yourselves. If there is nothing there, why do you two shit for brains 28%ers on this board wasting space. It looks as if you have your panties in a wad and you are trying to keep thinking, logical people from posting on this link. Go play on redstate.org or one of those playful bullshit boards who you can agree with.
The GOP is over and you need to start accepting it.

June 8th, 2007 at 8:00 pmIf President Clinton is Vinnie/Rachel/Angie who is Jake, the snake? Patrick1 for sure but who else?? Inquiring minds want to know. Let’s out these inane trolls once and for all.
June 8th, 2007 at 8:02 pm#89 because Patrick1 and The President are one in the same?? Sounds about right.

Heh. I already said that!! :D
June 8th, 2007 at 8:04 pmThat’s one thing we’ve got a bunch of - pseudonyms! We probably have only one or two “true trolls” but the ones we have here at TP make “the three faces of eve” look like a nursery rhyme. Each troll here has about a dozen monikers - what psychos! Fortunately, those of us who post here regularly know who they are as well as each of their monikers by their posting style and verification techniques.
June 8th, 2007 at 8:04 pmHey Zooey! Did you really? I just got on the thread after watching a movie. All I can say is that great minds must think alike! I was picturing Bette Davis as I wrote that…were you by any chance?? In some ways, Georgie W is beginning to resemble her in some of her more macabre rolls. heh-heh.
June 8th, 2007 at 8:06 pmWow, that’s a perfect job for some of those new Regent University graduates. If they are good enough to work in the Justice Department, I guess they are good enough to work for George Bush.
If George Bush and Dick Chaney are not impeached by the end of their term, I am going to be VERY DISAPPOINTED!

Absolutely — Bette Davis!
I can’t wait until the Chimp gets into his Baby Jane phase…. :D
June 8th, 2007 at 8:11 pmIsn’t he already in his Baby Janes? hahaha! After all that chug-a-lugging, he’s probably got them on….or maybe tonight it’s his “t-straps”….and babydoll pj’s?? We all need some comic relief and the mere visual gets me ROTFLMAO! Time for another movie….I can just tolerate so much of the chronic bad news and higher levels of fraud, corruption, and unwillingness of this congress to do anything about it…..Catch ‘ya later!

My guess is that trolls don’t like intelligent discussions. They seem to turn up, give it the big one and the get on their heels.*

Naw, they just heard that Roger Simon was “admiring” Mitt Romney over at another thread and all ran over there, so they could “admire” Mitt too.

Indeed, Zooey… the perfect combination of looks and… of looks and…

June 8th, 2007 at 9:45 pmNah, I think the trolls have their Friday evening meeting over at the troll locker room in the West Hollywood Gym for Men. They have to leave early to get there, or catch hell for being late to the “pump up the trolls” event. Must be a bummer to have the “lovely” VV on your back for a poor weekly performance.
June 8th, 2007 at 9:46 pmRight… they’re all rapturously admiring Mitt’s physique…

Now you’re making me feel sorry for trolls. :P

Comment by Zooey
Did you by chance mean “Of looks and gravy stains”?
Or even, “of jowls and gravy stains”?
No need to be sorry for trolls. They’re not born trolls, they choose to become trolls. Perhaps the good Dr Holsinger could develop some sort of aversion therapy for trolls, involving electro-shocks, etc, etc, etc…

Comment by Zooey — June 8, 2007 @ 10:00 pm
But of course! How can one feel otherwise. I mean, look, they’re only 3 feet tall and… well I won’t go into the details. The last time I did you got ill. ;-D

Actually, they only appear to be 3 feet tall because they’re always busy doing “something” down there on their knees…

OK, that’s easy! Why its obvious that they…er… Well, at least they have a real… um, no, that’s not right… No, seriously, take their campaign positions on Iraq, religion and…

June 8th, 2007 at 10:44 pmLoading up on lawyers, eh? I guess “I don’t recall” and “I can’t remember” isn’t working as well as expected.
June 9th, 2007 at 12:28 amDewey, Cheatham, and Howe, law offices, can I help you? What? You’re about to be impeached? What? They want the tapes? Sir, I’m sorry, there must be something wrong with the line, yes, I’m having trouble hearing you…hello? Hello? click
