WaPo: Gonzo lied AGAIN! 26 prosecutors were on hit list!
EZ Writer does it again, a preview of Wapo.
<http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2007/5/16/213726/992>

More than ONE-FOURTH of US attorneys were considered for firings!
Drip, drip, drip
Coming from WaPo:

--The Justice Department considered dismissing many more U.S. attorneys than officials have previously acknowledged, with at least 26 prosecutors suggested for termination between February 2005 and December 2006, according to sources familiar with documents withheld from the public.
Gonzo testified otherwise LAST WEEK!
Story not online yet, but should be soon at <http://www.washingtonpost.com>

10. Me too. That's next week, isn't it?
Here's hoping the drip-drip-drip becomes flush-flush-flush.

Is it high crimes yet?

18. No kidding. I realize it's all about building a case now, but at some
point, it seems to me you arrive at the realization that a case HAS INDEED been built. Jonathan Turley noted that on Olbermann, either last night or the night before, saying this shit about the illegal wiretapping that, thanks to Comey's testimony can be linked directly back to the White House (perhaps even to bush HIMSELF) is a CLEARLY IMPEACHABLE OFFENSE.

Good Lord - what more do we need???

Please, dear DU brothers and sisters - CALL YOUR REPS. I found a new TOLL FREE Capitol Hill switchboard number (heard it on the Thom Hartman show and tried it this morning - it works) that's updated in my sig line now. It's 1 (866) 220 - 0044 - actually a pretty easy one to remember, also.

We HAVE to keep up the pressure. CALL YOUR REPS. It's FREE. And if you have one extra minute - CALL SOMEBODY ELSE'S REPS. Have some REAL fun shaking people up - call a republi-CON!!! You have to know they are NOT sleeping easily these days. Whether they admit to it or not.

3. Hmmm, I have started to look for a header that says.....
Gonzales DIDN'T LIE about this......I know enough not to hold my breath waiting, I don't want yet another death to be laid at their door, lol.

Thanks for the heads-up, will be checking your WP link to see when the story comes up.

5. If Gonzo ever told the truth, he'd probably
be struck by lightning on the spot.

13. Bushco lies
everyone of them. I can't wait to see if some of them were in the group who wanted to investigate the oil companies.

The robber barons have seized the government and systematically undermined every fugging institution.

L. Coyote Sun May-13-07
30 U.S. attorneys investigate BILKING BILLIONS, Medicare, Medicaid, Military’s Healthcare
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x877011

Topics:
How is it that $$ BILLIONS $$ of fraud does not put CEOs in jail?
How is it that $$ BILLIONS $$ of fraud cases seem to evaporate or settle for so little?
How were those $$ BILLIONS $$ in lobbying by single industries spent? Where do those bucks STOP?

Focus: The BIG PICTURE.

=============
HCA's "fraud investigation involved 30 U.S. attorneys' offices, 22 FBI field offices, inspectors general from the Health and Human Service Department and the Office of Personnel Management, Defense Department investigators and state fraud units" .............

I've got a feeling he has some answers. Think Tenet.

19. Impeach Gonzo
Congress can do it, the Republicans are turning on him.

Do it before we're attacked. You know the terrorists are looking at the flood of competent people leaving the DoJ, seeing the remnents of incompetent political hacks staying to run the place, and are thinking really hard about what to do with this information.
