How is it that 'ol Arlen always seems to smell misconduct when Republicans are involved, and then always talks glowingly about his friend, Ted Kennedy, or whomever, and always seems to minimize or outright dismiss any allegation against Democrats? How is this?
Didn't Billy Bob Clinton force resignations from every federal prosecuter shortly after he took office? That's a little tougher than a freaking phone call from a Republican Senator, isn't it?
True enough. But then again, the proximate cause of this scandal is Republicans acting unethically. If they didn't act unethically, there would be no scandal. The fact that the democrats are worse and get away with more doesn't mean that the GOP didn't bring this on itself.
Yes he did. Not much news there though.
“I felt leaned on. I felt pressured to get these matters moving,” Iglesias testified.
Oh my - Heaven forbid that a federal prosuctor should ever feel pressured to DO THEIR JOB!
/sarcasm
RATS have been pressuring the Bush Admin for 8 years trying to find anything that would play negatively in the press. Why play into the RATS rotten, corrupt, scandal-ridden hands?
It's an acquired talent, I guess.
Makes ya wonder why some folks keep voting
for the same old line,,
Rumor is that Iglesias is guilty of some misconduct re: misuse of office funds. DOJ's only mistake was dealing with it quietly.
It's just the latest surge&salvo of corruption&crap from the left and the media against the corrupt evil
Bush administration... and this nation.
Nothing new as you mentioned, it has been a non-stop battle with an occasional lull while the MSM party and give each other awards and get a tan..
Let's hope the DOJ explains that in short order then.
What about Curt Weldon? The FBI made an announcement not to far from election time with regard to him and his daughter having influence even though this issue had been going on for quite some time. We also know the Clinton slime machine was doing everything it could to see he lost the election as members of that team where helping the opposition. It begs the question, do they still have operatives in the FBI willing to help them out or say pressure them with,.... well information that would be bad for their careers?
I know, I know, slick and company are never held accountable for anything no matter how bad it is. If a Republican does anything that smells just a little, they immediately begin the war cries and pound the table for investigations.

The point is that no laws were broken in this "scandal." Therefore; NOT a scandal. But pile on as you see fit though.
Rumor, eh?
Thanks for sharing that.. I think. ;-)
So what were the other 7 "let go" for?
Something can be wrong and therefore a scandal without breaking any laws. It is improper for elected officials to put pressue on a US attorney to hurry up and charge a political opponenet. They should not have done that. Had they not done that, this "scandal" would not have occurred.
It is SOP for all AGs to resign upon a change of administrations.
Since when is it the job of a senator (of either party) to call up a fed prosecutor? Something smells pretty bad here. If the senator has questions and wants the prosecutor to address a committee...then fine...but in this context...I'd say we need to bring the senator in and ask some pretty stupid questions. Scotter Libby got convicted mostly for being forgetful and stupid...it would appear that a number of Republicans might want to ensure they aren't next in line.
