Did you know that Michael Chertoff looked into this and said there was no evidence that there was any political manipulations behind this audit?

And he told Klayman that, too.

On March 13, Chertoff wrote Klayman that ''after careful consideration, we have determined that a criminal investigation of this matter is not warranted.'' He passed the complaint to Justice's Office of Professional Responsibility to check on charges of misconduct against the department, but on April 1 it reported to Klayman no basis for an investigation.

No, I didn't know that Michael Chertoff had written that letter. Well, I trust him as much as anyone in Justice.

It seems that Klayman's real gripe is not making sure that audits aren't politically motivated, but rather that HE isn't audited.

I bet he has something big to hide. Ha!
