Duke Cunningham was a true blue hero of the Vietnam War and then turned into a power corrupted POS who deserves every year of prison to which he was sentenced. To fire a U.S. Attorney for digging into the corruption of Cunningham or any other legislator is every bit as despicable as taking a bribe from a defense contractor. Political power can corrupt nearly everyone, regardless of party, and such corruption should never be excused or covered up. If the AG knew about or ordered it, he ought to resign or be fired himself for being corrupt himself. And if the POTUS or anyone else in his White House knew about it or ordered it, then they deserve the same fate. Serving at the pleasure of the President is not license to wield power capriciously.

Or those making causations without knowing the facts and only ASSUMING they know the facts, should keep their mouths shut.

That is why the loony left should never be taken seriously. They have always had the need to make claims that they can not or will not back and shame on the Republicans who do not put them in their place.

Much of the our so called Democrat leadership have shown they aren't even qualified to run as dog dogcatchers let alone be politicians.

Today, Victoria Toensing have gotten to be somewhat a hero to me and I think some of the Republicans should review how to handle liars like Waxman and his monkey buddies. The Republicans should learn to take them to task or they deserve their fate.

The Democrat leadership should be shown the error of their ways and sent away.

Feinstein said that, on May 10 [2006], Lam "sent a notice to the Justice Department saying that there would be two search warrants sent in the case of 'Dusty' Foggo and a defense contractor. The next day, an e-mail went from the Justice Department to the White House."

That May 11 e-mail was from D. Kyle Sampson, chief of staff to Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales, to White House Deputy Counsel William Kelley. "The real problem we have right now with Carol Lam ... leads me to conclude that we should have someone ready to be nominated on 11/18, the day her 4-year term expires," it read.

The actual FACT is that Lam was on the firing hit list at least as early as March 2... 2005. See the e-mail on page 5 at the link. Why? Well, And there were concerns by some in the administration about how lax Lam and some other U.S. Attorneys offices along the Mexican border were handling those caught trying to illegally enter the U.S. (see Page 23 at this link and Page 1 at this link). And according to newspaper reports, her office also reportedly wasn't devoting as much attention as some in the administration would have liked to combating gun crime.

And US Attorney Ryan was on and off the firing list at various times, including on January 2006 (see page 21 at the link). Why? Contrary to statements made some places in the press, morale was really low at the San Francisco US Attorney's office, and there were concerns about how Ryan was running the office.

But let's not let the facts get in the way of the CREW-driven, Schumer demagoguing Democrat agenda.
