My opinon is that Ashcroft and Mueller are absolutely corrupt particualrly when it came to their handling of the OKC bombing case-I have written many replies and several articles on this subject.

GW BUsh needs to realize ( unless he is one of the causes of the problem) that it will become highly damaging to his reputation and public trust for his using executive privledge to block (stonewall) Ahscroft from testifying before and answering 13 subpoenas from Burton's committees FBi and DOJ corruption.

Keeping corrupt Clinton holdovers in DOJ and in the FBI that he could easily replace even without congresssional confirmation. is not the way for GW Bush to convince people that he himself is not corrupt. His choices of AShcroft and Mueller are an extremly suspect indication of his bad judgement at best and at worst of his own corruption.

And Bush's recent decisons to keep intelligence activites away from even a limited few in COngress , to use the CIA for domestic spying without adequate controls and to direct AShcroft ot wiretap conversations between attorneys and their clients without legal review (this was not an interim war time provison) further gives the impression that GW Bush is a corrupt gestapo dictator himself who is flagrantly violating the law and the Constitution

Bush is doing nothing adequate to restrain China and Russia but instead is proping them up economically (MFN, computers) and militarily (computers, missile defense operational details and tech,unilateral disarmament of our nuke missiles). Bush policy with China and Russia ,when it is well known they are strongly helping terrroist groups and nations, is another indication of the evil behind GW Bush.

I don't know about you, but that impression is getting brighter every day for me.

I remember when a lot of us hoped the President just wanted to act like he was being forced to turn the documents over. That way the Democrats couldn't say he was trying to "get" Clinton.

Well, I guess he has made the Democrats love him.

I too have been disappointed in Ashcroft's performance as AG, particularly with his apparent abandonment of the pro-life cause he championed during all his years in the Senate. However, do not forget that he is bound to carry out the President's policies. The President wanted the Clinton and Democrap scandals swept under the rug and Ashcroft complied. It is not Ashcroft's fault that the President is forcing him to take a pass on his constitutional duties. His only other option aside from following Presidential orders would be to resign. I agree with you that Bush and Ascroft are jointly responsible for the violation of our constitutional freedoms.
