i don’t have time to respond in depth, busy day at work. I will simply remind you that an Attorney General named Janet Reno appointed an independent counsel named Ken Starr to investigate Whitewater, the Vince Foster suicide, Filegate, the Paula Jones’ lawsuit deposition of Bill Clinton and ultimately to file the report that resulted in the impeachment of William Jefferson Clinton.
And an Attorney General named John Ashcroft appointed a special counsel named Patrick J. Fitzgerald to investigate the blown CIA cover of Valerie Plame which resulted in the Conviction of Scooter Libby.
There are times when so much political pressure is on an administration that they have to appoint a special counsel or a special prosecutor who is widely perceived as neutral or from the opposition.
Patrick J.Fitzgerald is still US Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois even though he is a Bush appointee due to the fact that Obama can’t remove him (politically) until the Blagojevich trial has concluded.

The money line from you.......

Sorry, I don’t see either Reid or Pelosi as being willing to pressure Eric Holder in this matter....You seem to think that they will/would......You crack me up James.....LOLOLOLOLOL....maybe next January if November goes well...... if, if, if.......

C’mon man we’re dealing with A very Socialist Obama and a radical (at best) Congress.......

Clinton had a Republican Congress to deal with, even then he escaped getting convicted and removed from office.......

Bush, as contrasted to Obama, is a moral, and principled man. You don’t really expect Obama to act out of morals/principles do you? Besides Bush and his Administration had nothing to fear......as opposed to Obama.....LOLOLOL

Political pressure dosen’t work with Obama, or the Donks.........They’ll ram it down our throats as long as they can get away with it.....meaning till we crush them, and kick them out of power.....
