Hi BAC
I received this in FReepmail two mornings ago
Until this past June I did study every single detail of the Bush administration to see if there was indication he wanted to pursue clinton corruption
Even tho I had ''bit the bullet'' and realized he didn't -- when I saw him let Eric Holder stay on as Acting AG until Ashcroft was confirmed
Janet Reno was a weak and confused figurehead -- Holder was slick's man at DOJ -- he carried out his corruption for him
(Holder tried to put Ken Starr behind bars on trumped up charges
Ken Starr would be in prison now -- if a courageous Arkansas Judge had not thrown out the case against him the summer before this one)
I was positive George would be sworn in at noon -- and at one minute past noon -- this corrupt cop would be fired
It's strange to remember now how white hot I was a year ago -- about justice
I guess I have accepted it that George is gonna sweep it all under the carpet -- which is why my alienation from the Bush administration is total

But if you think swheat's points in her FReepmail are valid, please let me know (swheats gave me permission to post it)

Hi Palo I've just finished reading this thread and it seems the tempers flared greatly. I just wanted to say to you not to give up hope in the Bush Administration.

Do you realize that only about 25% of the administration has been filled. There are so many of the Bush administration that has been held up by the Senate which is under the control of the Democrats until it would appear that Bush's hands are tied.

One thing I love about The Bush administration they are not constantly out spinning information and talking a lot. I would say to you, hold him accountable yes, but at least see what is accomplished after all positions have been filled and he has had an opportunity to replace many of those in positions that are still sympathetic to the Clintons and Democrats. Clinton replaced many in the judiciary and his appointments are sitting on benches now. Do you think that if any trials were to take place the cases would not be thrown out or made just as a show trial.

These are definately my opinions and the 25% was an estimate used months ago. Hopefully many more have been able to replace Clinton holdovers.

Have a good day. I chose this manner in communication because the thread had really went into a shouting match.

I appreciated getting this FReepmail -- because I realized we are all of good will, and want the same thing, we each have our take on what is taking place
and because it helps me to realize those who remain committed Bush supporters share my passion for justice
they believe Bush will do it in his time
Love, Palo

Well my response is NO EXCUSES ...

and to point out that by the time Bush finally gets around to filling all the positions there will probably be nothing left to prosecute because the DOJ will have rolled over on everything important. For example, today in a CIVIL suit LORAL was fined $14 million dollars for their activities in Chinagate ... in exchange for the DOJ agreeing not to pursue them CRIMINALLY. They got off with LESS than a slap on the wrist (remember, the CEO of Loral gave the DNC over half a million in contributions in ONE YEAR) for TREASON. And I see NO INDICATION that ANY of these matters are even being INVESTIGATED. Bush does not have to fill all the positions to INVESTIGATE. As far as I'm concerned, this is just another "move-on" EXCUSE.
