That's only because he's lacking a spine.
PING..
He got away with treason, he has to have some smarts.
There hasn't been a news article on Jefferson in 10 months, anywhere.
People get fired every day...there is no scandal there, but shoving stolen doucments down your drawers? Now there is a scandal!
Combine this with the fact that the President isn't on National TV/Radio daily, beating the Dims over the head with this cut and run legislation, it's no wonder that he's having problems.
Unfortunately the Troops are the ones who will end up paying the price.
NO...there hasn't except when Nancy was going to put him on the Homeland Security committee and the House GOPers said they would try to stop it....
BUT, I do remember the WAILING that went on up on Capitol Hill that the Justice Dept, with a search warrant, went into his office to get evidence.
BUT, these same people see nothing wrong with expecting the POTUS' closest advisors to have to testify at a hearing over something that IS NOT ILLEGAL!!
I tell you what, Americans need to wake up an smell the coffee....this Congress is getting out of hand..and the DEM candidates for POTUS are worse.
Well, if getting away with a crime makes you smart then I concede my point. He's smart. He's Ted Kennedy smart.
If I were president, I would hold a press conference personally. I would make a point of putting the names of all the Clinton holdover U.S. attorneys in a jar. I would pull out a name at random and announce that they were fired.
Then I would look into the camera and point out that this lottery will continue until the congressional circus stops.
I fully agree and the two of them should be sharing a cell.
Good one!
However, I take issue with the author. He makes the mistake of thinking that someone can dissemble, deceive, lie, scheme and slander, that they cannot be dumb.
What Leahy is doing to his own country IS dumb. As an added visual to make my point, imagine Leahy out on a patrol with a bunch of US Marines in Iraq. It is not too hard to image them looking at each other and saying "Boy, that guy sure is a dumb ass."
Dumb is not absolute...it is relative. I don't consider myself a rocket scientist, but I also think I can handle myself in a lot of different situations. Those situations I mangle would make me appear pretty dumb. It happens.
Bottom line...I think I agree with YOU and disagree with the author.
And he's full of leaks!
The Administration has, once again, managed to screw up all by itself and then compound the error by terrible damage control. As everyone knows, politics ain't bean bag so it is silly to blame the Democrats for taking advantage.
They serve at the pleasure of the President. Clinton demonstrated this perfectly at the start of his administration although the MSM seems to have conveniently forgotten this.
The rats cannot get past the fact that they don't serve at "their" pleasure. Add in the fact that the rats are smart enough to use their willing accomplices in the MSM to continue their strategy of death by small cuts to the Bush administration and you have the present situation which is labeled a scandal but in reality is nothing of the sort.
This is another example where Bush should take the gloves off but how many of us have given up on that idea? I have.
10 years later, we still don't know who hired Craig Livingstone to dig up 900 FBI files on political enemies of the Clinton Administration.

Since at this time there are no Clinton holdover U.S. attorneys, I don't think that would be terribly effective.
Unfortunately, there are no Clinton holdover US Attorneys to fire in this scenario. Aggressive investigation of Congressional wrongdoing would cause more howls, however.
