Perhaps, One U.S. Attorney Did Her Job A Little Too Well! (Carol Lam)

[cascadiance]

Just saw this article reflecting back on Carol Lam's history and speculation on why she got fired. In addition to the more obvious reasons of her prosecuting and putting in prison Duke Cunningham, this article also looks at how she has gone after Mexican drug cartel leaders just over the border in Tijuana here in San Diego. Speculation is that the Bush administration didn't like her doing that either. Probably isn't a coincidence that now she's gone we have a lot more violent shootouts, etc. near the border with drug gangs down there now, that make it unsafe for visiting.

Perhaps, One U.S. Attorney Did Her Job A Little Too Well!
Dave Gibson

June 08, 2008

While "poor performance" was cited last year by then Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez's office as the reason behind the December 2006 dismissal of seven U.S. Attorneys, his department's own records show evidence to the contrary. U.S. Justice Department data shows that six of the seven ranked in the top third of the country's 93 U.S. Attorneys.

U.S. Attorney Carol Lam was one of those fired by Alberto Gonzalez. Lam had been criticized by Gonzalez for not prosecuting enough illegal immigration cases...Really?

Given the fact that Alberto Gonzalez and the entire Bush administration has turned a blind eye to the issue of illegal immigration, it is impossible to believe that Lam was dismissed for being too soft on foreign nationals crossing our border illegally. Remember, this is the same Justice Department which chose to prosecute two Border Patrol agents for firing upon a Mexican drug smuggler.

...

pon her forced resignation, Carol Lam issued the following statement: "We have prosecuted serious cases involving public corruption, dismantled the leadership of huge narcotics cartels and prison gangs, and protected the public treasury in civil litigation."

There is no doubt that President Bush and his Justice Department are making the border safe for invaders, as Bush constantly talks of amnesty for illegal aliens. By prosecuting tough cops who aggressively pursue drug dealers, they are also encouraging the flow of illegal drugs into this country.

The insidious corruption which has turned Mexico into a narco-state and rendered its government irrelevant, has apparently migrated into the U.S. along with millions of illegal aliens.
