#90, welcome back,and you are exactly right Clinton fired all the US Attorneys in office,even Dems, they wanted total loyalty. Janet Reno was put in place to head the Justice Dept because they knew she had a lot of Corrupt baggage from Dade County,and they could handle her for the most part. To insure the handling of Reno, he installed Webb Hubble in as the Number two person at Justice,and he was in effect running the show. Hubble got into deep doodoo and then they had Eric Holder installed to watch her every move. They had Jamie Gorelick doing most of the behind the scenes and Holder in front of the Cameras with Reno. Reno was only a figurehead that most people felt sorry for because of the Parkinson's Disease,and they used that sympathy to cover up a lot of things. Holder left,and Gorelick was able to move up,and create the havoc which ended up allowing 9-11 to happen....I am sure that there are some of those holdovers still there in Justice that have yet to be weeded out. I believe that is a slow but sure process. Stay tuned.....

It's been fun this morning. Thanks.

The numbers I've seen suggest most of the Clinton hold overs were put in the Energy and Justice Departments, if I remember right. Someone did a count awhile back to expose the information. What gets me is how Bush & Co. has left these people in place.

Apparently as quid pro quo for the cover-up and ultimate duty on the 9/11 Commssion where she was charged essentially with investigating herself, Gorelick picked up a number of highly rewarding positions along the way including a senior partnership with a major Washington law firm. She also suddenly became a Fannie Mae director which netted her $15-25 million based on share prices and cooked financials.

Last week the Justice Department decided not to criminally prosecute the Fannie Mae Board or the Franklin Raines executive group for these flagrant frauds on shareholders and the de facto federal subsidy which Fannie Mae is accorded in the financial markets. This bizarre decision which even now protects Clinton appointees is a total sham and a major stain on the Gonsales led DoJ.

By the way, Raines was frequently mentioned as a potential Treasury Secretary in a Gore administration.
