Torricelli 'Cover-up' Blasted

U.S. Attorney Mary Jo White's refusal to prosecute Sen. Robert Torricelli, D-N.J., "despite overwhelming evidence of his criminality, is corrupt to the core. And for the Bush Justice Department to approve White's decision shows that it has abdicated any role in fighting government corruption," the public interest law firm Judicial Watch said today.

Campaign donor David Chang says he gave Torricelli cash, suits, watches, and other gifts in return for government favors.

"As reported by The New York Times, Torricelli has repeatedly lied about his dealings with the donor. Chang was also allegedly threatened by Torricelli agents because of his cooperation with prosecutors," Judicial Watch said in a statement.

Judicial Watch also expressed outrage that Attorney General John Ashcroft's DOJ supported White's action, or rather, inaction.

"Mary Jo White, a Clinton appointee, has guaranteed herself a job in the next Democratic administration. ... John Ashcroft ought to be ashamed of himself. It seems that the Democrats and the Republicans have reached a truce - no prosecutions of corrupt politicians, whatever the party," stated Judicial Watch Chairman and General Counsel Larry Klayman.

"The decision not to prosecute Torricelli is the latest cover-up out of Mary Jo White's office in the Southern District of New York. White has also sat on the Pardongate scandal involving bribes to the Clintons for pardons and the Teamsters scandal which involved the stealing of union monies for the personal use of Teamsters officials and the Democratic Party," said the firm, which the liberal media like to describe as conservative even though it has come down hard on the Bush administration as well as Bill Clinton's.

You must admit that Sammy the Bull administered the Coup de Gras

[Osinski]

Just priming you for the dismissal of the Rich affair and the dismissal of the Clinton crimes. Bush is compromised. How discouraging.

[concerned about politics]

stay tuned. the enron follies are coming to pop prime time. True. When the company was legitimate, they donated to the Republican party. As soon as the company started having trouble, they started paying off democrap senators.
This WILL be a good investigation.
Evron expected the corrupt democrat party to bail them out, but instead they just took the dirty money. When they got caught, they decided to donate it to left wing special interest groups.
Keep that camera rolling!!!

Can one FOIA all the docs on this? I got an itching to do some investigation of my own of what White has in her hands

Only if you can crack grand jury secrecy and attorney work product. My guess is you'd get a very polite no on some very nice Justice Dept. stationery. Once you get that, you can sue.

It certainly seems like the game of mutually assured destruction being played during the Clinton regime
is being continued into the Bush administration.

Classy, I have to agree with you and this war will not make these things disappear for people will be demanding Justice in both parties now!

Bush has only himself to blame. Seems noone can be investigated for corruption while Bush is in office!

Bad, Very Bad Sign!

Everybody is covering for everyone else on this. The corruption is Washington is so great that no one can be charged and prosecuted because his corrupt buddies are afraid he'll start talking. It is way past time to clean house. All the bums should be thrown out.

What the hell do you expect Bush or Ashcroft to do with nothing?

Oh please. Bush could've gotten rid of White months ago. He didn't. In fact, he kept her around specifically to --ahem-- finish up both this case and the Rich case. He knew what she was.
