Why the Assistant US Attorney Firings Aren't Just About Politics

There is no integrity in Washington.

DailyKos? Bearer of truth? Hell, you may as well have linked off to TruthOut, CommonDreams... or better yet, DemocraticUnderground... no... InfoWars. LOL. Is it any wonder you guys never get any traction on your accusations?

Truth hurt Don? The facts are the facts, and this isn't the first place I've seen this info. I really have become quite bored with the "your source is biased, it has no weight" argument. If you can refute the facts presented, do it.

It's shameful what's been done to our government institutions and laws all in the name of Justice.

There is nothing to refute. I only see accusations made.

The article starts off with "Even many on the left are a bit speechless when asked what the crime is here. Bill Maher's eyes glazed over when promted."

And there is a reason nobody has anything absolute; nothing illegal can be proven.

Then the article states the following:

"Here's the freakin crime:

18 U.S.C. § 1512 c. which states:

(c) Whoever corruptly—
(1) alters, destroys, mutilates, or conceals a record, document, or other object, or attempts to do so, with the intent to impair the object's integrity or availability for use in an official proceeding; or
(2) otherwise obstructs, influences, or impedes any official proceeding, or attempts to do so,
shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both.


Catch your breath, Ron. Those are NOT crimes. Those are laws. They printed a list of laws. It would be a crime if they could show how Bush broke those laws, but all they go on to show is highly subjective circumstantial evidence.

OK, refute the accusations then, it's your dime. Of course we can't use his previous nefarious activities as any indication of intent, or anything. Face it, you serve an evil lord, my friend, that is slowly bringing our country to it's knees for corporate profit, and 70% of the American public is beginning to see it, too. Now as for those missing emails, how much do you know about modern business networking? To say those emails are lost is laughable. They probably existed in multiple places, on multiple hard drives, unless intentionally deleted. A business network that isn't redundantly backed up? Not hardly. If they are missing, someone deleted them, probably multiple times. That's a crime. Your reaction is, prove it. I understand that, but I KNOW they lie, and so does anyone that has a halfway informed knowledge of the subject. Highly subjective circumstantial evidence or not, it was a crime, and it was committed. They even convict murderers on circumstancial evidenc if it's good enough, and this is good enough, although nothing would be for you, I'm aware of that.

There is no arguing with Don. He is a "true believer". There is no amount of evidence, no string of facts, no rational thought that would convince Don that anything the Bushies did was wrong. He makes up part of the 28% (or lower - depending on what pole you read) of the remaining bush supporters in this country.

The string of crimes and incompetence by this administration is getting so long that anyones "eyes would glaze over" trying to absorb it all.

What does the email have to do with anything other than a FISHING EXPEDITION. Sorry, not going to play the game. The Bush admin is thumbing their nose at a FISHING EXPEDITION. Of course, you don't see it that way because your side is making the empty allegations. They have nothing. The only reason this is an issue is because the Democrats run the committees and they made it an issue... and they have to FISH to find crap... enjoy it, but you've come up empty handed so far.

Cynthia C -- I can shut you up with one question. What crime specifically was committed? It should be a short answer and one person directly attached to the crime. Go ahead... make my day.

Your, and incidentally, your heroes problem, is that they CAN'T shut anybody up. You can call it fishing, but where there is smoke, there is fire, and there's so much smoke in the white house these days, they don't have enough fire extinguishers to cover all the bases. It's a bunch of evil dudes, that sold our government to the highest bidder, and it's all starting to come back to haunt them. It must be tough being the last blind man on gather.

Good answer Ron... you've said absolutely nothing. You've huffed and puffed and the Whitehouse is still standing, Bush is in power, nobody is in jail, no charges brought to the administration (short of Libby, for which he was found guilty of forgetting something -- but he had nothing to do with the original charges which were dropped).

interesting reading

Keep on telling yourself that there is no place like home Don. You know as well as I do it's only a matter of time, now. Got your white cane and dark glasses yet? lol

How long are you all been telling us it's just a matter of time. The democrats will keep this crap alive becasue they have a majority, but they can't just declare people guilty... thus, the stories and accusations will continue, people like you will assume guilt, and nothing will come of it... it's all politics.

If you shut your pie hole you would die because you are a mouth-breather/slack-jawwed lackey.

True enough, Mitch. You must be familiar with this neanderthal -- looking like he's got a 3 inch metal plate in his forehead.

It was clear... Don S is a knuckle dragger.

I would love to see a solid charge made.... all they keep coming up with are secondary charges coming out of the witch hunts. But this tells me they don't really have anything other than enough votes to create these stupid committees. It's a waste of resources that we don't have. It's a sham is what it is.

Ron - you better call CSI Washington if you want to get to the bottom of this. Till now, it's a COLD CASE. As far as I am concernced, case closed, Dems pay all court fees.

Well, there are a lot of subpoenas left unfilled, and that will have to go to the courts Don, you don't expect CCongress just to say, oh well, they didn't want to produce stuff, do you? Denial, again. The Republicans don't run Congress anymore, you keep forgetting that.
