Never said the AG led a coup (though not to say he didn’t). I know very little about Mukasey other than he clearly had little control over his department and was barely on the job a year, scarcely enough time to familiarize yourself with the mechanations. But several of Dubya’s cabinet secretaries, especially in his 2nd term, were incompetent. But still, this occurred on Mukasey’s watch. Either he knew this was a fishing expedition or people in the department were lying to him (the latter is certainly likely, but it could’ve also occurred in tandem with the former).

But calling it a raw deal is ridiculous. This was a deliberate criminal conspiracy (or worse, a consensus) by leftist agents within the Justice Department. Ditto with the set-ups of Burns and with ex-Congressman Curt Weldon.

However, I am sure Mukasey was competent enough to follow-up when the memo entitled "Hey Boss, I am about to indict a sitting United States Senator" rolled across his desk.
