An Accomplice Got Onto the Jury

As Attorney General John Ashcroft revealed the other day, 9-11 Commissioner Jamie Gorelick was one of the "contractors" who worked on setting up the "wall" between domestic criminal investigation and national-security investigation. In fact, she acted to strengthen that wall beyond what the law required.

That means her own actions are part of what is supposedly being investigated by the commission she sits on.

Does she need to resign? Like, yesterday. Does she need to testify? Most certainly. And publicly. And under oath.

No. Wait. How would that fix the damage she has surely done already? Figure it out for yourself, Faithful Reader: why would an accomplice want to be on the jury if not to sabotage the trial? To wrongly acquit the guilty. Or to wrongly convict the innocent.
