"Frontline" tonight...guess who was in the background?
Show was about the FBI's failed investigation in the anthrax scare of 2011 and researcher Steven Hatfield.

FBI went to extraordinary measures to make it look like "they got their man.". Showed press conference where disgusting weasel, John Ashcroft, stands on front of the press (with all the titties on the statutes appropriately draped) basically saying Hatfield was the murderer and urged the press to go after him. And they did. Horribly. (Hatfield later sued the government and won almost $6M.)

Standing behind Ashcroft - Chris Christie, now New Jersey's Governor and Reich-wing hard-on.

He learned well.

6. You're right!
I'm blaming this new iPad and typing...Keyboarding...while watching TV.

Thanks for the catch.

2. Of course
they use the same puppets over and over again and they tweak the script here and there.

5. Another winner from Frontline.
Surprised that this show is still allowed to air.

7. Interesting, because one of Christie's skeletons in his closet
is possible later favoritism with Ashcroft's firm.
