GOP dissected Rose law firm to get Clinton - dissect all Abramoff's firms.

That would close down the entire Republican party.

Let's start with Greenberg-Traurig.

Force them to open up EVERY book.

Since so much more is at stake than a failed land deal, I'm sure they'll be lots of Republicans who will agree it needs to be scrutinized....RIGHT?

1. Yeah, and the only wrongdoing they found was Hubbell's "overbilling".
If every law firm in the country were investigated in the manner of The Rose Law Firm, every law firm in America would be found guilty of overbilling. The Webb Hubbell matter was a joke.

I say, yeah, let's sift through the records of these lobbyist law firms and see what clumps of evil turn up.

overbilling?

5. Web Hubbell was a marked man when he started looking into the JFK murder.
Clinton put him in at Justice and asked him to look into the JFK assassination, and the truth about UFOs. The rest is history.

4. When Clinton was 'got,' there was a willing press that did repukes...
bidding. There is no such thing now. This press would rather kiss chimpie's ass than kick it. We don't have an honest press. The honest press died in the early 90s.

6. I'm all for it! Greenberg Traurig is very rich.
The work they do on cases is not any better than the work other big law firms do, so how did they get so frikkin' rich? Corruption must be sewn right into their fiber is what I'm thinking. They had to have known what a scuzzbucket Abramoff was. And wasn't Abramoff one the bigger shareholders at Greenberg? Corruption. That's Greenberg Traurig's middle name.

7. FINGERPRINTS!
Remember the lather raised by hate radio, Free Republic, NewsSmack and WorldNutDaily about the possibility of finding Hillary's "fingerprints" on the Rose Law Firm billing records -- even though all it would have proved is that she was doing her job and reviewing the billing?

It's time to review EVERY billing record from Greenberg Traurig for the fingerprints of cronyism, collusion and the Republican Culture of Corruption!

8. Hear hear! Somebody needs to do that.
Check this out from Wiki:

"Privately, current and former Greenberg lobbyists and lawyers, as well as those who have had close working relationships with the firm, describe a firm culture where few direct questions were asked of Abramoff because of his rainmaking abilities. Abramoff's practice brought in about $10 million a year, and without him, Greenberg's D.C. lobbying revenues have tanked -- dropping more than 90 percent in the first half of 2004, according to lobbying disclosure records."

And look at this:
