Ari Fleischer: ‘Congress Is Dangerously Politicizing The Justice Department’
Ari Fleischer: ‘Congress Is Dangerously Politicizing The Justice Department’
This afternoon on Fox News, Ari Fleischer, former White House press secretary and current flack for a new White House front group on Iraq escalation, blamed Congress for “dangerously politicizing the Justice Department”:
Republicans were very hard on Janet Reno. Democrats were brutal to John Ashcroft and now Judge Gonzales. What’s happening is Congress is really politicizing the Justice Department, unfairly so and dangerously so, because there are so many important law important functions that go on there. It’s regrettable, both parties have done it.
Watch it:
While Fleischer puts his finger on a real problem — the politicization of the Justice Department — he misdiagnoses the culprit. After six years of Congress’s failing to assert any accountability over the Justice Department, the new 110th Congress revealed the ethical wrongdoings of the Gonzales through aggressive oversight. Here’s a review of the record:
– It was Alberto Gonzales, not Congress, who fired attorneys for political reasons.
– It was Alberto Gonzales, not Congress, who gave the White House political team unprecedented power to intercede in the affairs of the Justice Department.
– It was Alberto Gonzales, not Congress, who allowed his department to illegally hire attorneys based in part on their loyalty to the Republican Party and the Bush administration.
– It was Alberto Gonzales, not Congress, who dissembled and misled about the administration’s spying activities.
– It was Alberto Gonzales, not Congress, who lied in stating that all Bush appointees would be Senate-confirmed.
In an op-ed entitled “Sinking ship leaves rat,” Michael Tomasky writes, “Gonzales’ legacy is so resoundingly awful that one can’t imagine which of his failures and transgressions his eventual obituary writers and future historians will highlight.”

August 27th, 2007 at 4:20 pmInsane pathological liars, criminals and politcal sociopaths
engage in coverup until they are jailed and/or prosecuted.
Today marks the day where all the good people of America, regardless of political party
–> are now even more United.
UNITED WE STAND: Against George W. Bush, Richard B. Cheney and other civil officers who have committed Treason, Bribery, and other High Crimes and Misdemeanors against the United States of America, our institutions and our people.
August 27th, 2007 at 4:20 pmSorry I had to say impeach Bush.
August 27th, 2007 at 4:21 pmWhat a lying POS!!!
Guess we know what approach BushCo is gonna take to cover their tracks here.
August 27th, 2007 at 4:22 pmSomething should bitch-slap Ari, and yet they pay him to lie.
August 27th, 2007 at 4:23 pmSen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) will unify this nation under Jebsus.

August 27th, 2007 at 4:25 pmAri what war crimes? Prove it!
August 27th, 2007 at 4:25 pmAttorney General Alberto Gonzales may have his announced his resignation, but his wrongdoing – and his words – live on. Here are:
August 27th, 2007 at 4:26 pm“Alberto Gonzales’ Greatest Hits.”
Like Rove’s atheism, it’s only nasty if you talk about it.
August 27th, 2007 at 4:27 pm.
DAMN!! He can’t lie any better than he did when he was the BushCo talking Monkey! One would have thought he had that behavior perfected.
Must have lost his edge when he got involved with all that Little League metal bat thing.
August 27th, 2007 at 4:28 pmDo they really think that if they make something up and just keep repeating it, it makes it so?! They just whip up their own facts that suit their version of reality??
These guys have TOTALLY lost all credibility. Nobody believes anything they say. At this point, it wouldn’t make any difference if they DID start telling the truth. No one would believe that either. Trust is a precious thing to lose. It takes a long time to rebuild it.
I just don’t believe people in this country are going to keep falling for this manipulative cr*p. The American people want the truth (now), they want accountability, and they want action. Period.
August 27th, 2007 at 4:28 pmThe truth is going to have to come from the evidence, not these weasels, certainly not from their words..
Oh great; another administration apologist accusing congress of the exact thing the administration practices.
August 27th, 2007 at 4:29 pmThe only negative in this welcome good news is the realization that “heck of a job Alberto” will never pay any real price for his crimes against the constitution and the fredom and rights of the American people. In fact, just the opposite, he will profit handsomely as a former administration insider, I expect the lucrative job offers are coming in allready; and then there will be his tell all memoirs of his heroic performance as attorney general.
This is another golden opportunity for the Democrats to stand and deliver and hold Bush and company accountable; prepare to be dissappointed once again, as they are all, with one or two exceptions, gutless cowards!.
August 27th, 2007 at 4:30 pmCONGRESS!?
Jesus christ…..
August 27th, 2007 at 4:32 pmIn the old days, for people like Bush, Cheney, Ari, Condi, Rummy, Alberto, etc…
There would be a trial, conviction, then a state sponsored execution.
Why should today be any different?
People like the above mentioned, plus Hannity, O’Reilly, Limbaugh, National Review, Coulter etc… are the true enemies of the United States. The constitution was put in place to defend freedom from their ilk. With such “patriots as their ilk, we don’t need Al Qaeda! They are truly destroying America!
August 27th, 2007 at 4:32 pmPot, meet kettle!
p.s. — is Ari still on the payroll as a Bush-apologist or is he lobbying to get his old job back when SnowJob walks off into the sunset?
August 27th, 2007 at 4:33 pmWHAT TO DO
Now Congress needs to do a few things:
1. Refuse to confirm a new AG until the White House complies with all subpoenas
2. Recognize what the threat of impeachment achieved in the case of Gonzo
3. Start impeaching Cheney ASAP
August 27th, 2007 at 4:34 pmRedundancy alert:
“Senator, that I don’t recall remembering.”
Alberto Gonzale
If it looks like a lie, sounds like a lie and acts like a lie, IT’S A LIE.
August 27th, 2007 at 4:34 pmGood thing congress got a slight Dem majority in 2006 — otherwise Ari would have nobody to blame at all for the politicization of the Justice Department. Of course, WITHOUT that Dem majority, nobody would be holding them accountable, would they?
Oh well — Ari was hired to be a spin artist. Looks like he’s doing his job. Let’s hope America can see through the crapola.
August 27th, 2007 at 4:35 pmWhat a douche.
August 27th, 2007 at 4:37 pmNext…. Ari Fleischer to explain why the Jews are responsibile for World War II.
August 27th, 2007 at 4:38 pmTranslation:
“I know you are but what am I”
August 27th, 2007 at 4:38 pmAri sucks at his speciality more now than ever before. Does he have a consulting job as an expert on unbelievability. What a stoke
August 27th, 2007 at 4:39 pmGuido,
It is unfair to call Ari “a douche”. Douche at least serves a useful purpose.
August 27th, 2007 at 4:39 pmAri needs to put his glasses back on, that way I won’t feel the need to smack him across his lying face.
August 27th, 2007 at 4:40 pmAri Fleischer: dems politicize justice dept
I mean, the state attorneys were fired. They weren´t members of the justice dept anymore. So Mr. Ari Fleischer isnt lying: these people were correctly politicized and consequentially bulldozed. Infamy is nothing silky.
August 27th, 2007 at 4:41 pmAs usual Fox lets the lone right wing speaker have the say unchallenged. Forget that Gonzo lied and mislead Congress, he’s a total Bush crony lapdog,looked like a fool testifying, not the top US Lawyer. Gonzo is an embarrasment to the US Justice System.
August 27th, 2007 at 4:41 pmPerhaps the greatest of the GOP techniques: “it’s not me, it’s them.” From judges to the justice department, they don’t exert a corrupting influence, only those damn liberals who dare not agree with them. You hear it everywhere, on Rush, Hannity and the purported “news” shows that now serve only as a means for each side to present their lame as hell talking points. Next we’ll hear it’s the Democrats’ fault that the Army and Marines are in the shape their in.
August 27th, 2007 at 4:43 pmMean old Congress! Telling the President what to do! Exercising oversight, standing up to the Executive! However does the President get anything done? (Sarcasm, just to make it plain)
August 27th, 2007 at 4:43 pmYou’ve got to admire the timeless Gobel-esque statements. And it isn’t as if Congress has done anything other than rubber-stamp or play dead. The Executive realises, as all bullies do, that if they won’t fight back, pound the hell out of them. Maybe this latest insanity will finally make Congress wake up and realize their oaths of office are actually supposed to actually mean something. However, I’m not holding my breath.
Impeach Bush And Cheney and Save the Constitution!
Questioning the actions of the Justice Department, regardless of which party is in control of congress, does not equate to politicizing the Justice Department.
August 27th, 2007 at 4:43 pmThis is the same BS arguement they made about war critics, but instead of saying “politicizing” they questioned their patriotism.
I remember when Ari went on live national TEEVEE and threatened Americans by warning them to watch what they say.
August 27th, 2007 at 4:44 pmStill waiting for those WMDs to appear, Ari.
When are you gonna seed them?
August 27th, 2007 at 4:44 pmYes, but he is not one of those good, useful vinegar douches. He is one of those sickly, sweet smelling flowery douches. The ones that advertise how they will rid you of that evil womanly scent while replacing your disgusting natural odor with the lovely scent of flowers. Instead, they give you an infection that burns the crap out of you.
August 27th, 2007 at 4:44 pmAnd Fox wonders why Democratic candidates won’t appear on its channel for a debate?
August 27th, 2007 at 4:44 pmaccusing your opponent of offenses that you have committed is a very very effective technique to inoculate yourself from your actions, except when it becomes apparent that your claims have zero basis in fact.
I believe this well has run dry for the Bush Admin.
thank “the almighty.”

Stay tuned.
August 27th, 2007 at 4:46 pmYou gotta love the graphics department at Fake News Channel. That goofy picture of Gonzales in the lower right-hand corner is almost as bad as the one Keith uses when he does a story on Gonzo. And I have to imagine there will be several on Keith’s show tonight, especially trying to refute any of the good words being erroneously spoken about Gonzo-the-soon-to-be-Gonzo. Personally, I find the fact that he is picking an effective resignation date of Sep 17 (Constitution Day) to be both ironic and insulting, as he has done more to subvert and destroy the constitution than any AG in recent memory (including all those of Reagan, who is dead now.)
August 27th, 2007 at 4:47 pmHas Ari remembered the name of the soldier in his commercial who went to Iraq so his son wouldn’t get involved in another forign war folly?
August 27th, 2007 at 4:47 pmI need to talk to him and more importantly his son.
I was told that’s the reason I went to Vietnam.
We need some progressive Billionaire to offer some of these GOP hacks a simple proposition: How much can I pay you such that you’ll start telling the truth instead of spreading more BS?
August 27th, 2007 at 4:47 pmFleischer will stand in the dock at the Hague, and will spend mucho time in prison, along with the rest of the traitors in Bush’s Shite House. what a despicable pig.
August 27th, 2007 at 4:52 pmSo now Fleischkopf joins the rest of Bush’s Ari Krishnas, chanting over and over again “It was Congress, It was Congress, It was Clinton, It was Janet…”
Finger cymbals and little drums are optional…
August 27th, 2007 at 4:54 pmSad. Lies and propaganda by syncophants to the psychopaths. Time to include lessons in turning of Fox News in our schools.

We would need somebody much richer than a billionaire. After all, the oil that the BA is jonesing for is worth many billions of dollars.
August 27th, 2007 at 4:56 pmAri has to earn his GOP money so he’ll lie about anything. Look Ari even leaked the CIA’s name for his pals. Does Ari remember the rubber stamp 109th Congress that got us in to this mess. Now Ari doesnt speak about the lies he told the press and the public when he was Press Secretary yet now we’re to believe what he says. Next Libby will be speaking out about how wrong it is to stop the White House corruption. Let’s see how many more elected officials will be paid to lie. Hastert took his stolen money and is gone.

August 27th, 2007 at 4:58 pmSo far, NO ONE has told us WHO fired the 9+ attorneys.
No one “knows”. Just like “magic”
August 27th, 2007 at 4:58 pm“…because there are so many important law important functions that go on there.” – - – Ahh, well crafted phrase, Ari, especially considering you’re a former public mouthpiece.
August 27th, 2007 at 4:58 pmAll the rats jumping off and Ari wants back on. He isn’t the sharpest knife in the kitchen drawer.

That’s what happens when the truth is abandoned and the “story” becomes so twisted even the teller has trouble keeping his lines straight. Filthy liar that only blind GOP goose steppers bother listening to.
August 27th, 2007 at 5:03 pmRemember when the repukelicans claimed they were the party of accountability and responsibility?
Looks like they gave up on that lie, eh?
August 27th, 2007 at 5:05 pmTwo faced GOP only want accountability and responsibility for others esp. poor and minorities. Rich White need not bother…even the Justice Dept. is biased to favor GOPers. Thanks Gonzo…the law means nothing from Geneva Convention on down.
August 27th, 2007 at 5:08 pmHe better watch what he says. We’re in charge now.
August 27th, 2007 at 5:09 pmthere are so many important law important functions that go on there.
Like firing prosecutors who won’t file cases based on the political wind blowing at election time? When the FBI agrees that there’s insufficient evidence to prosecute? Like firing prosecutors who are going after corrupt politicians in the ruling party?
You fu(kers make me sick.
August 27th, 2007 at 5:11 pmari fleisher is just another wind bag
August 27th, 2007 at 5:11 pmTruth, justice and the American Way no longer applies.
Republicans and George W. Bush prove that every day over and over and over.
August 27th, 2007 at 5:11 pmLooks like they gave up on that lie, eh?
Yessir, just like Pelosi claimed she was going to get rid of the earmarks and the bluedogs ran on fiscal responsibility.
Nice impending budget…I want my 20 billion back, please.
August 27th, 2007 at 5:12 pmAri, you’re still an irrelevant liar. Go back into your hidey hole.
August 27th, 2007 at 5:13 pmCould the minoxidil be affecting this guys brain?
August 27th, 2007 at 5:16 pmYa know what ? The dems might in fact be “spineless”, but I have NEVER seen such a bunch of crybabies as these repukes when they get “served”.
August 27th, 2007 at 5:16 pmHonest to god, they TWIST every deserved smack at them with the most mind boggling, whimpering, excuse to avoid facing reality.
The scary truth is that they will get traction from this by coming out of the gate first, and claiming the mean ole dems are destroying a “good and decent man” when nothing could be further from the truth.
I will now have to spend this upcoming weekend listening to a bunch of whining, republican soccer moms and dads, telling me how there is actually no “proof” that scooter and gonzo did anything “illegal”, while I sink bottle after bottle of wine to soothe the grinding sound of their voices.
You can read these sorry sods like you can read a manuscript of ancient psychology. The mirroring-effect. Blame others for what you found yourself to be guilty of.
If Congress and not the Bushie gang has raped JUSTICE, Jack Abramoff did not have Tom DeLay safely in his pocket, ok?
August 27th, 2007 at 5:17 pmIt was the Bush Justice Department that politicized the position of Attorney General. Investigating the politicization of the Justice Department by BOTH the Dems and Repubs in Congress is not itself politicization and it’s the job of the Congress to exercise oversight. And now Ari Fleischer is further politicizing the issue by pretending that this is all about politics when it’s really about lying repeatedly, again and again and again and again and again to Congress.
August 27th, 2007 at 5:20 pmAri lies just to stay in practice for some possible time when someone might believe him. He would continue to lie if water boarded. It’s in his DNA.
August 27th, 2007 at 5:21 pmAnyone notice he’s starting to look more and more like Lex Luthor?
August 27th, 2007 at 5:23 pmI don’t think Gonzales can be painted as a “good man” by the best artist in the world.
Congress will go forward investigating the DOJ and the missdeeds under mr. gonzales.
August 27th, 2007 at 5:24 pmThe Repugnants have been doing this since Bush stole the election from Gore–accusing the opposition of what they’ve been doing.
Cheney accused the Democrats of class warfare for Heaven’s sake!
The other day they accused a blogger of using scare tactics for quoting Bush’s war tsar on possibly bringing back the draft!
Fleischer reveals just how corrupt he is by levelling such a corrupt charge.
New speak! http://www.newspeakdictionary.com/
August 27th, 2007 at 5:29 pmFox News, blatantly squeezing out a steaming heap o’ bull? Say it ain’t so!
August 27th, 2007 at 5:30 pmAIPAC speaks again.
And as usual, it’s a lie.
August 27th, 2007 at 5:36 pmwhatever happened to the concept of accountability ? we are drowning in lies
August 27th, 2007 at 5:37 pmAnyone notice he’s starting to look more and more like Lex Luthor?

August 27th, 2007 at 5:49 pmJoe Namath?
August 27th, 2007 at 5:52 pmCould someone explain why Alberto Gonzales is now being referred to as “Judge Gonzales”? Once by Bush in his earlier statement and now by Ari Flatuleischer?
August 27th, 2007 at 5:53 pmWhat kind of message are they sending now? Judge Gonzales WTF?
Don’t forget that it was the Bush administration who allowed hundreds of people clearance to discuss ongoing investigations at the DOJ, thus giving them the means to influence and obstruct justice.
August 27th, 2007 at 5:54 pmComment by Marley — August 27, 2007 @ 5:53 pm
He was a Texas Supreme Court justice under GWB.

August 27th, 2007 at 5:59 pm“Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Blame Bush, Blame Bush, Blame Bush.
Democrats good, Republicans bad.
Blah, blah, blah, blah.”
You simpletons need to get a life.
Of course the Democrats have politicized the Gonzales issue. That’s why they call it politics.
Why do you think the Democrats have politicized everything Bush has done? In order to garner votes and get their power back. And once they got the power back, they have done what?
Nothing.
Bush’s approval rating: 30%
Congress’ approval rating: 15%
The numbers don’t lie. Folks may not like everything Bush has done..
But folks like the Democrat congress a lot less.
August 27th, 2007 at 6:08 pmSimply fantastic! I love this guy. Soon he, and the other neocons, will claim that pretzel incident was a successful assassination attempt. Hillary is serving a life sentence and Dubbya’s inanimate corpse is being “held up by Jesus”.
August 27th, 2007 at 6:10 pmSo, how are your insane plans for “nukular war” coming along Big0?
August 27th, 2007 at 6:11 pmNumber of military attacks in United States? ZERO!
The numbers don’t lie.
August 27th, 2007 at 6:14 pmCan’t Fleisher just be a good little ex-hack and disappear for good?
August 27th, 2007 at 6:22 pmI was so sick and tired of his blatant right wing bullsh*t when he was Bush’s chief toadie and things were so nice when he disappeared before after getting booed out of a speaking engagement.
Ari…The Whistleblower is not the culprit except in the Corporate Cronyism World.
August 27th, 2007 at 6:35 pm…CONGRESS!?

This made me laugh!!
August 27th, 2007 at 6:42 pm“In the old days, for people like Bush, Cheney, Ari, Condi, Rummy, Alberto, etc…
There would be a trial, conviction, then a state sponsored execution.
Why should today be any different?” Comment by detroitsuperfly.
++++++++++++
I would say that today should NOT be any different!! I mean, we aren’t doing anything else anyway, so I don’t know why we AREN’T setting up the necessary tribunal’s, to lock all of their asses up. It should really only be a matter of the paperwork.
Surely there must be enough of us boomers still able to totter to and from the computer, to put some of this stuff together. Unfortunately, they don’t seem to be a majority in Congress now, but there ARE a handful, so it seems like we should be able to encourage the others to “become more involved” with what we’re paying them to do.
And, maybe the on-going impeachment efforts could easily net the rest of the gang, and then we could host one major citizen-sponsored tribunal, and get them all locked up, off the streets, (and certainly out of OUR houses) and unable to continue this massive perpetration of world chaos via template lying…
Meantime, Ari is the same thug he’s always been. These types never change. They’re the used-car salesmen of the political persuasion.
Scum.
August 27th, 2007 at 7:00 pmAri, the fool to the naked emporer… where is your motley?
August 27th, 2007 at 7:11 pmSeems all bush has is fools, and his throne room is a circus.
ari is just another war criminal…
August 27th, 2007 at 8:24 pmAri Flesher, the person who told the American people they need to be careful what they say. Ass wipe.
August 27th, 2007 at 8:27 pmAri is a bald-faced liar.
August 27th, 2007 at 8:30 pmHard to imagine this guy getting any worse.
August 27th, 2007 at 9:32 pmEarlier in this tp is the guy saying how bad blogs are because in blogs you can say whatever you want.
mmmmmmm,what is this ex wh pr man?This guy is saying anything he(or his masters) want.Should we have a shield for him and all his or her type?
We need an insanity shield.That might at least rid the media from some of the sewage flow they have mainlined.
What if the TV stream had a lie detector and the signal would be cut during any false statement/s.
There goes fraud news.
How about radio too?
That would bring some silence.
What would truth radio sound like?
I thought you were spending all of your time being a cheerleader for Bush’s illegal war. Why do they keep taping these political hacks? This creep needs to go away.
August 27th, 2007 at 9:41 pmMore of the same old shit. Fleisher has found a new job in historical fornication. The politics came from his fuhrer. Even under Ashcroft there was some semblance of legitimacy but Fredo was a complete failure for the rule of law. He was a kiss ass and a whore for King George.
August 27th, 2007 at 11:01 pm“So, how are your insane plans for “nukular war†coming along Big0?

Is the “Nukular” some kind of new tire BigO sells? I havn’t shopped tires recently.
August 27th, 2007 at 11:28 pmFleischer is a damned idiot.
August 28th, 2007 at 10:13 ami know how it is for ari-i get disoriented when i don’t wear my glasses too.
August 28th, 2007 at 10:24 amI was a bit puzzled by your transcription, actually in the audio, he said “because there are so many important law-enforcement functions that go on there”.
Doesn’t change much and he’s still utterly incoherent in his logic, but better to get what he said right.
I love, by the way, how they wring their hands about partisanship only when they’re on the receieving end. Okay Ari, I want to see you coming to the defense of the next Democrat who’s being Swiftboated(tm). Poor Janet Reno, right. I bet you were right there defending her at the time, right?
August 28th, 2007 at 12:10 pmOnce again the fascism propaganda is in full force. Gonzo politicized the AG dept. Ari you are so dumb that you think that we the people will buy that. Sad go peddle your illegal war.
August 28th, 2007 at 1:11 pm#31:
Next? You underestimate them. They’re already doing that: http://talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/024738.php
August 28th, 2007 at 6:24 pmIt is obvious that the right winger cannot perceive the truth even when it has hit them in face. And all they do is twisted the facts to make everybody else responsible for their crimes. This I believe is called propaganda. It is obvious that somebody forgot to tell them that the country no longer believes their lies.
August 28th, 2007 at 6:26 pmWhat a little turd, still shilling for the neocon-Israeli war machine. You went away once ari, now, go away and STAY away, you little SCHMUCK.
August 28th, 2007 at 10:19 pmWhy isn’t Ari Fleischer serving time behind bars, especially after he participated in the outing of covert CIA agent and officer Valerie Plame Wilson?
Until all the corrupt Republicans in the Bush administration are punished for this criminal, traitorous act, who collaborated in endangering our national security by outing Mrs. Wilson’s connections to the CIA, there will never be satisfactory closure.
And Ari Fleischer was at the epicenter of this criminal effort, along with Dick Cheney, George W. Bush, Scooter Libby, Andy Card, David Addington and so many other morally discrepit and ethically challenged Bush administration officials.
August 29th, 2007 at 2:51 amShut up Ari! As a military family, I will never forget how Ari lied to the American people for Bush. He continues lying and now further exploiting some poor soldier who doesn’t even understand the “big picture.”
Ari, Fitzgerald should have never given you immunity.
August 29th, 2007 at 8:56 amI was hopeful the comments on this site would display a higher level of discourse, but alas it’s basically the same cast of characters repeating the same tired diatribe in multiple places.
It’s rather ironic to have the same people who condemned Senator Frist’s remote diagnosis of Terri Schiavo’s mental state committing the very same fallacy in regards to President Bush.
August 29th, 2007 at 3:52 pmChrist, this Fleischer acts like he is supported by PNAC or something.
Go away Fleischer. The majority of Americans were more than tired of
your self serving rhetoric when you resigned the White House. Your
Anthraxxx Coulter style logic is so 1990’s. No one but reactionary
fanatics care to hear your lies for another round. You wouldn’t recognize
the truth if you chocked on it in an airport lavatory.
Get lost you has been.
