Thanks for the clarification. GWB, like his Dad, has appointed far too many Republicans who act like Democrats in the futile attempt to make nice and be friends. To his Dad’s credit, someone once asked him what was his worst mistake as president. He replied “He’s sitting on the Supreme Court.” The reference was to Souter, not Thomas, who was his best appointment.
The only positive I could say on Iglesias’s behalf is that perhaps as a federal prosecutor building cases he was taking a slow and methodical approach. While that can be understandable, in the brutal world of politics, especially with respect to indictment of high-profile pols, and when you’re up against a critical election, you have to get the lead out or you’ll find yourself replaced by the next prosecutor from an opposite party, and all those likely indictments will soon be forgotten about or swept under the rug. It’s unfortunate that’s how it is, but it is how it is.
