Oh, they may be capable, alright. Perhaps it is that they do not have the will to investigate. Otherwise, why would DOJ drop the ball on the corrupt campaign finance issues? You know the drill....Ashcroft disbands the campaign finance task force and sends away the man who was its head and who had told Reno to appoint an IC to investigate Gore. All that Chinagate money that put our national security at risk.
Then, Loral is let off with a limp wrist slap fine to be paid by the company, which means the stockholders, while the guilty, CEO Schwartz and the others, skate free. Ashcroft's DOJ tells Loral that it is dropping the case now that this fine of the stockholders is levied. The next day the AP writes a story about China's increasing missile threat to this country.
Then, of course, Ashcroft's DOJ refuses to turn over documents to Congress about FBI failings and as to how it was that Reno didn't want to investigate campaign finance.
On and on it goes.....but I guess if it's GWB's DOJ we should not care.
I do.
