Congressional members call for special counsel (Guam case)

[deminks]

Delegate Madeleine Bordallo and other members of Congress have asked the attorney general of the United States to appoint an outside special counsel to investigate the reported demotion of former chief prosecutor Frederick Black and lobbyist Jack Abramoff’s lobbying activities for Guam and the Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas.

Bordallo and the other members of Congress say a special counsel is needed to investigate instances of potential political manipulation involving officials at the U.S. Department of Justice in criminal and immigration matters relating to Guam and the CNMI.

The Department of Justice Inspector General and FBI are looking into the demotion of Frederick Black, The New York Times’ Sept. 27 edition reported.

Black was replaced by Bush administration nominee Leonardo Rapadas, who was confirmed by the U.S. Senate in May 2003 as U.S. Attorney for Guam and the Northern Marianas.

1. There should be 20 special counsels for those criminals in the WH.

They've commited so many crimes, it's hard to even keep a list up of what they've done.

Where's a special prosecutor when you really need one.
