WSJ: US Attorney Scandal Advances
Justin Rood Reports:

Federal prosecutors are reportedly pursuing their first criminal indictment in the U.S. Attorneys scandal.

The subject, according to the Wall Street Journal: Bradley Schlozman, for a time the U.S. Attorney for Kansas City, who resigned from his the Justice Department in disgrace last August after his role in politicizing the Justice Department was discovered. Schlozman, who most recently had served as the head of the department's Civil Rights Division, eventually admitted to Congress that he boasted to his Justice colleagues about his efforts to hire Republicans -- "good Americans," as he reportedly called his conservative hires.

The Journal reports that prosecutors investigating the scandal have filed a referral to a grand jury that "relates to allegations of political meddling," and focuses on "possible perjury" by Schlozman. It does not mean that criminal charges will be filed, only that prosecutors believe there may be grounds to do so.

1. "Good Americans" = "Good Germans?"

I hope some heads roll for once.
