Justice Probes Hiring of Prosecutors

By LARA JAKES JORDAN
Associated Press Writer




WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Justice Department is investigating whether its former White House liaison used political affiliations in deciding whom to hire as entry-level prosecutors in some U.S. attorney offices around the country, The Associated Press has learned.

Such consideration would be a violation of federal law.

The inquiry involving Monica Goodling, a conservative Republican who recently quit as counsel and White House liaison for Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, raises new concerns that politics have cast a shadow over the independence of trial prosecutors who enforce U.S. laws.

1. Gee, that's a tough one! They all came from Regent Law School...
a fourth tier school that happens to turn out Pat Robertson acolytes.

3. In a bizarre way this is good.
Pat Robertson wants to take over the world (they should base the villain in the next James Bond film on him). He sends out his minions to corrupt the USDoJ and they fuck it up.

2. Well DOJ has to investigate her to round up the evidence and make it disappear...
... when they say they are investigating, think they are 'covering up' the evidence of wrongdoing.
