When Ashcroft was AG, he was continually criticized. I haven't heard any demonrap criticism against our present AG. That alone tells me something and I don't like what it says.
Omigosh, those are really a hoot!
My thoughts exactly. Since nobody on the other side of the aisle has anything to say about him, he must be doing a great job--for them!
They'd have been drawn and quartered by now, with a head on a pike.
I seriously doubt he risked jail time just to preserve the Clinton legacy. I believe that some of the documents were far more incriminating to him personally and could have been used to connect the dots linking Berger to something far more serious...perhaps even treason.
Sounds like something Judge Royce Lamberth did during the fiasco over Hillary's medical plan during the early years of the Clinton administration.
When he couldn't get the DOJ to pursue penalties like perjury against administration figures such as Ira Magaziner, he fined the US government the maximum he could ($250,000)and let one and sundry publicly know in his written opinion that skulldugery had been done.
It's damn heartbreaking when judges try to contain government lawbreakers and can't get any cooperation from lawyers at the DOJ and the media doesn't pick up the torch and run with it.
I don't see why not, unless some sort of deal has already been cut.

Former Cheney aide heads to trial in CIA leak case

WASHINGTON -- Former White House aide I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby goes on trial Tuesday over the administration's response to one critic who questioned assertions President Bush made four years ago to justify waging war against Iraq.
Once the right-hand man to Vice President Dick Cheney, Libby faces charges of perjury and obstruction of an investigation into the leak of a CIA officer's identity to reporters.
We sure heard this often during the Clinton years.
1. that which tends to prove or disprove something; ground for belief; proof.
2. something that makes plain or clear; an indication or sign: His flushed look was visible evidence of his fever.
3. Law. data presented to a court or jury in proof of the facts in issue and which may include the testimony of witnesses, records, documents, or objects.
We tend to think of evidence as the first two, but the Clintons must always have gotten away with their seeming lies by meaning the third. In the case of Sandy B., however, there actually was a court case, making it even more confusing.
This case is infinitely more important than Watergate yet will end up being an insignificant footnote of American history.
I immediately thought of you when I saw the words "there is no evidence."
That is one of the few phrases forever connected to the Clintons and his administration.
