More Judiciary Memos Await (from Frist's office)

Moonie Times

Republicans have "perhaps thousands" of internal Democratic judiciary memos like the 14 that caused a stir on Capitol Hill last fall, says a Republican staffer who resigned after an investigation into how the documents were obtained.

"Only a small amount of have been made public," said Manuel Miranda, former judicial-nominations counsel to Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist of Tennessee.
"The ones made public are the least indicting of the ones."

Mr. Miranda resigned from his position last week after a two-month investigation by the Senate sergeant-at-arms into how the documents were obtained by Republican staffers and, ultimately, excerpted in The Washington Times and Wall Street Journal.

Mr. Miranda wrote a farewell statement explaining his actions. By resigning, he said he hopes the focus will shift from the manner in which the documents were obtained to their content.

1. The ones made public are the least indicting of the ones

What monumental egoism!
As if they would have held anything back
after violated any shred of ethical behavior in
the theft of these documents. Now they
call it patriotism, when treason is a closer term.

2. It's all their fault I stole them?

LOL

Officer, that man in the apartment window across the alley from me is naked. What do you mean you can't see him? Just stand on this box, and look off to the left...there he is!

3. So the Republicans don't plan strategy and tactics in their

meetings,conferences, and committees with Democrats?

The operative word here is "stealing", not the fact that politics is conducted in Washington.

4. Whadda idiot.

Hey, not only did we pilfer those 14 documents, man we stole everything, thousands of documents! Isn't that cool boss!....boss?

5. Isn't this little twerp committing

something akin to extortion? And why isn't Frist being charged with an ethics violation. He, for certain, was aware of this man's action and those memos were made available for people to use.

6. Clearly the only honest thing for the republicans to do

Is to release all of their memos from the same server to show that they never did anything like consider the political implications of voting on particular nominees.
