IGLESIAS: "Somewhere On An RNC Computer-There's An Email From Karl Rove"
Edited on Wed May-30-07 09:08 AM by kpete
"I believe somewhere on an RNC computer - on some server somewhere - there's an email from Karl Rove stating why we need to be axed," Iglesias told me in an hour-long interview.

Iglesias said Rove, former White House Counsel Harriet Miers and perhaps other officials are likely responsible for placing his name and the names of his colleagues on a list of US attorneys to be fired, because he refused to launch federal investigations and prosecute individuals purely for partisan reasons.

"If the Justice Department didn't have anything to do with placing presidential appointees such as me and my colleagues on a list to be terminated, the only other possible place would be the White House," Iglesias said. "Harriet Miers, Karl Rove or some of their underlings."

Iglesias also told me that, beginning in 2005, his office came under pressure when a close confidant of Karl Rove alleged there was widespread voter fraud in New Mexico. Iglesias said he investigated those allegations tirelessly and found zero evidence to back them up. He added that, based on evidence that has surfaced thus far and "Karl Rove's obsession with voter fraud issues throughout the country," he now believes GOP operatives wanted him to go after Democratic-funded organizations in an attempt to swing the 2006 midterm elections to Republicans.

Sometimes I wonder at the incredible coincidences between someone's name and the role they play in the big picture. Iglesias means Church, and I feel he has been an angel sent from heaven.

10. I don't get it.. Where is the FBI when you need them
OK,, someone please help me out. We know Rove sent these emails.. why isn't the FBI going into the RNC office.. going into Rove's office and home and taking all their computers, files, etc.. just like they do with other criminals. I mean suspects ????????? Why does it take a congress person and not a Police person or FBI.. where is Wesley Snipes when you need him.
