I agree in principle. Now let’s look at some more specifics, this one of a US Attorney who didn’t rock the boat, in fact he was doing the RNC’s dirty work for them. In New Jersey, Christopher J. Christie was appointed US Attorney by Bush. He was a prodigious fund raiser for the Republicans, and was said to have been rewarded for his work for the GOP. Since taking office Christie has focused on political corruption. He has obtained several hundred convictions. However, his record is that of all the state and municipal elected officials he has prosecuted, 94 percent were members of the Democratic Party. Was this a coincidence? In New Jersey, which is about evenly divided between Republicans and Democrats, a reasonable man would not suspect that there would be such a disproportionate number of law breakers among the Democrats.

This does not pass the smell test; It looks suspiciously like selective prosecution. Christie seems to be in no danger of being fired by Bush or Gonzales, because he’s doing exactly what they want in helping Bush corrupt and destroy the US Department of Justice.

To set the record straight, I think Bush is an idiot. Nevertheless, since the left made such a big point, including Rather’s use of forget documents, regarding whether Bush attended guard meetings 30 years ago, or whether George Allen said n****r 30 years ago, then surely Clinton’s record re corruption is germane, especially since his wife is seeking the presidency. Sandy Berger’s stealing and destroying top top secret documents, at the obvious behest of Clinton, is an open matter that the incompetent ‘Justice Dept.’ is trying to suppress, refusing to even ask Berger to take the lie detector test he committed to take as part of his absurdly light plea deal. Also, we know the Clinton’s had 1000 stolen FBI files on their ‘enemies’, and there has been no detailed investigation of that to date. Same with the Clintons illeally taking contributions from Chinese government-affiliated lackies and providing them invaluable missle technology in return. It goes on and on. I am not a Republican, a neoCon or member of any group either right, left, or center. I am an independent thinker unlike the rest of you who post here, who simply parrot what you read in Nazi collaborator and convicted insider trader, George Soros’s Media Matters and MoveOn’s sites, or the tripe you hear babbled by Randi Tokyo Rhodes or other all-hate all the time ‘Air America’ light weights. Wake up and seek the truth, independent of ideology. I don’t think you people can. Perhaps that’s why I got a PhD so easily, because I think for myself, while others cannot separate their own reasoning from what’s fed to them by self-proclaimed ‘experts’.

I think we should start a contest to describe this administration’s corruptness.

Just as we had the “Teapot Dome Scandal” we need a good moniker that could be passed on into history. Any suggestions?

….”W’s State of Lies Scandal”?

You’re all wrong. Both sides use the AG’s for political reasons. My sympathies happen to lie with Clinton, who gave us peace and prosperity. Where is the Dow after 6 years of Bush? After a severe dip, it has finally climbed to 12,XXX-the same as it was when Bill left office. Horrible progress–but then there is the national debt! I am 62 and wonder if we will ever recover from Bush in my lifetime. Folks, be very afraid of the Republican game plans. Democratic leadership benfits everyone, not just a select few. It is just a symptom of the corruption in the Cheney administration that even the AGs that they appointed are wise to their shenanigans. Justice trumps politics here. This admin. is a case for the textbooks. I just hope it doesn’t end up foreshaowing the fall of a really great country!

“Your hate Bush obsession is hypocritical in the extreme unless and until you hold Democrats involved in the illegal immigration industry to the same letter-of-the-law standards”

A little civics lesson – PRESIDENT BUSH is the head of the LAW ENFORCEMENT branch of our government. So if you have a problem with the way illegal immigration is handled in the US- look there

as for your baseless accusation that Clinton’s routine replacement of attorneys had to do with covering crimes- if you aren’t getting paid my melon-scarfie to post that nonsense you are wasting your time.

Clinton ordered that all Federal prosecutors be fired abruptly, giving them only 10 days to pack up and leave because he wanted to hurry and get rid of the prosecutor in Arkansas who was investigating his and his wife's assorted crimes before they could be indicted, after which he appointed one of his kneepadded former law students to the post, thus quashing any advancement of the investigation. Yes, Presidents of opposite parties do replace prosecutors of the opposing party, but not totally and abruptly, two months after taking office, with virually no notice (10 days notice is more than suspicious). The same scenario played out with the prosecutor investigating Rep. Rostenkowski. If Clinton was not attempting obstruction of justice, why did he not let the Arkansas prosecutor finish the investigation regarding him; likewise with the person investigating Rostenkowski. You people think that only your 'enemies' motives are worthy of questioning. Your hate Bush obsession is hypocritical in the extreme unless and until you hold Democrats, including the Clintons and everyone (politicians, activist, etc.) involved in the illegal immigration industry to the same letter-of-the-law standards.

This is not about Bill Clinton. It is about George Bush. This is another GOP trick - every time Bush screws up indefensibly, change the subject to the Clintons. Republicans gave it their best shot with the Clintons and there was no there there. That was nine years ago. Get over it. Move on. The subject is George W. Bush and the suspicion he obstructed justice in firing his USAs. An interesting side issue is why Republicans continue to worship a man of such meager gifts who has brought nothing but shame and degradation to their party, not to mention this great nation. It is okay with liberals if Bush worshippers dance with Dear Leader over the cliff, of course. But we are mystified that 31 percent of the country continues to adore a proudly ignorant aristocrat who lies compulsively and screws up every single thing he touches. It is positively cult-like behavior. If Republicans insist on re-litigating the Clinton years, so be it. They lied then and lost. They will lie again and lose again. For example, the statement here about Clinton is, of course, false:
In a March 14 editorial headlined "The Hubbell Standard," The Wall Street Journal suggested that former President Bill Clinton "dismiss[ed] ... all 93 U.S. Attorneys" upon taking office in 1993 and subsequently appointed " 'Friend of Bill' Paula Casey as the U.S. Attorney for Little Rock" in order to avoid an investigation into "the Clintons' Whitewater dealings." The editorial stated, "Ms. Casey never did bring any big Whitewater indictments." But the Journal left out a key fact about the U.S. attorney whom Casey replaced: Charles A. Banks had himself resisted investigating the Whitewater matter, reportedly in defiance of pressure from George H.W. Bush administration officials in search of a pre-election issue with which to tar challenger Clinton. Moreover, as Media Matters for America has noted, the extensive independent counsel investigation into Whitewater -- launched several years after Clinton took office -- ultimately led the independent counsel to close the probe without charging the Clintons with any wrongdoing. As Mollie Dickenson noted in a February 1998 Salon.com article, Banks refused to pursue the Whitewater matter, citing his belief that "no prosecutable case existed against any of the witnesses," including the Clintons.
George W. Bush replaced all of Clinton's appointees but not all at once. The changeover wasn't complete until late in 2002. DoJ was criticized at the time for not getting its political appointees lined up immediately after the election as normal presidents do. As it turns out, this was just a sign of things to come. In the Rostenkowski matter, if Gingrich, DeLay and the rest of the insane clown posse that drove the GOP into the deep weeds had thought they could get Clinton on obstruction of justice, they wouldn't have wasted their time, not to mention the credibility of their party in the minds of independent voters, on pursuing the sex lie. - Editors

We all know this is the most corrupt administration in history, and Bush & Cheney are war criminals. and they’ve corrupted the DoJ & DoD, and they’re slaughtering our troops and innocent Iraqis for the war profiteering, and so on….But, what do expect when an AWOL moron with a criminal record walks into the WhiteHouse.
