Time Out...
we may be saved.....remember:
Recess Appointments

[HAL9000]

Thanks. Now call me a taxi.

[metalurgist]

I like your idea too, with just one little twist. Bush should anounce Rudy as his replacement for White and then say that since the office and its workings are so important that he feels that a replacement for White should begin immediately. Thats why he is making Guliani a recess appointment, and the Senate can go through with the formality of approving him later when they come back into sesion.

Leahey would have a stroke.

[CnsrvatvLdy]

Why is it that the libs always say that it is time we moved on when they're uncomfortable about something? I'm so sick of hearing it without any retorts. I'm also sick of hearing them say "the American people want this," or "the American people think this." When is someone going to tell them that they don't speak for at least 40% of Americans?

[TheGoodDoc]

It's amazing that under the cover of war, DNC scum are seeking to stifle investigations of the criminal activities of Torricelli and Clinton.

What's even more amazing is the fact that these two felons are the two o individuals in the US Senate most responsible for September 11. Torricelli emasculated the CIA in 1995, while Co-President Hillary allowed Osama bin Laden and al-Queda eight long years of unrestrained growth, from the first time they bombed the WTC in 1993.

Corrupt lawyers (a redundancy) protecting other corrupt lawyers.

[Tymesup]

We need to trumpet the conflict of interest if Mrs. Clinton, whose husband pardoned terrorists in addition to the New Square 4, gets to veto this appointment.

Too bad the issue was ignored when Clinton appointed Janet Reno appointed Ken Starr to investigate Clinton.

[StarFan]

I seem to remember that she may have been asked to resign, just weeks before 9/11 Do you recall if the Bush Admin. asked and what the reasoning was IF, AS WAS PROMISED, SHE WAS CLOSE TO AN INDICTMENT??? I am so curious and so disappointed. I suppose the next to skate will be Condidit.

Ping for terrible news!

[Verginius Rufus]

I agree that Hillary should recuse herself, and in a sane world it would be so blindingly obvious that even the media would point it out. I doubt that the Senate has rules which would make her do so (but could be wrong there). She has never done the ethical thing yet, so why start now?

Anyway, she doesn't need to do anything--Chuckie Schumer will no doubt be happy to do her dirty work for her.

When the key case came before the Supreme Court in 1974 which sealed Nixon's fate, Rehnquist recused himself because of his prior service in the Nixon administration.

[VOYAGER]

Senate Majority Leader Thomas Daschle (D-S.D.) said the resignation of U.S. Attorney Mary Jo White from the Southern District of New York should mean an end to the separate probes into Sens. Robert Torricelli (D-N.J.) and Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.).

Because the Judge no longer will be sitting does that mean these two creeps, Hillary and Torricelli are no longer under suspicion?

Are they less indictable??

The evidence is the same or has that been destroyed by their leg hunching supporters?

WHAT HAS CHANGED??

[PhiKapMom]

I would like to see this get rumored around even if it doesn't happen. Can you imagine how miserable ms. clinton would be if she thought this was going to happen? If only we knew someone in the press that could ask ms. clinton if she would approve Rudy as the US Attorney. The look on her face would be priceless and can just hear her stammering around.

[Brad’s Gramma]

Read post #71 and talk to Hugh, will ya? Thanks.

[Miss Marple]

Well, if nothing else we could spoil the holidays for her. She and her husband have spoiled holidays for the past 9 years...troops sent at Christmas, recounts spoil Thanksgiving, etc.

I think it would be an excellent start to MY holiday season!

By the way, is this also the DA that was investigating McAuliffe?

[Rocky]

This case was in the tank from the beginning. Duh! The Clintons are the world champs at skating out of these scandals. And the Bush Administration has never shown the slightest bit of interest in prosecuting anyone from the Clinton Administration.

[PhiKapMom]

I think you may be right about this being the US Attorney investigating mcauliffe!

Would love to ruin the clinton's holidays! Time for them to get some of their own medicine.

[j.cam]

After what they did to Newt??? Let's hope the GOP doesn't cave although they will.

[dwswager]

Mary-Jo White Wash! This little demo hack needed to be booted long ago. She let both the labor unions and DNC off the hook for campaign finance scandals that should have landed the former head of the Teamsters (deposed by government), the head of the AFL/CIO and Terry McAllufe the guy handling the financing of demo politicians in 1996. She let statute of limitations lapse.

All good americans should be cheering this resignation and they should definitely not drop the case until the new procecutor has a chance to review them!

[Rogmonster]

"On the other hand, I still think that appointing Rudy Guiliani to replace her would absolutely shut them all up."

You, my dear, are my new favorite genius.

Daschle Seeks End to Probes: White's Exit Could Close Clinton, Torricelli Investigations

I thought the appointment of White closed the Clinton and Torricelli investigations. Her resignation means....nothing.

[freekitty]

Of course, Daschle would like nothing better. Bad for business. Too bad, Daschle. The cat is already out of the bag. Live with it.
