Chertoff promised right-wing group charges against Clinton.The LA Times reports that in 2001, Michael Chertoff, then head of the Justice Department’s criminal division, met with the conservative group Judicial Watch and “personally assured” them that he would pursue criminal charges against Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) “in connection with a lavish fundraising event in Los Angeles.” Chertoff is now one of the names mentioned to take over the Justice Department, which has been criticized for a lack of independence.

5. I doubt he'd be confirmed....

If they delve into his Katrina management.

Still, this is a good item to ask him about.

7. It'd be fun to watch HRC ask him some questions in a confirmation hearing.

10. That was my thought as well.

But then, I didn't think Gonzo would get to be AG either.

6. Chertoff has an axe to grind. Google Chertoff + Whitewater investigation

He failed the GOP and couldn't get a case made against Clinton then.

A Chertoff DoJ would be All Hillary All The Time. So many grudges, so little evidence.... But then, that doesn't seem to stop the hacks from trying. Their vendetta will be their undoing yet. They will spend so much time, money on Clintons and the rest of the nation will wonder why the crimes against America by the cheney/bush junta go un-mentioned.
