The Attorny General Of The United States Of America CoversUp Illegal Acts

Yeah, Fuck You Mukasey, you ass covering sonofabitch.
Mukasey has already stymied efforts at making the Bush administration accountable, not enforcing Congressional subpoenas, squashing investigations and now this latest outrage;

Mukasey Won’t Pursue Charges in Hiring Inquiry


By ERIC LICHTBLAU @ NYT

WASHINGTON —
Attorney General Michael Mukasey on Tuesday rejected the idea of criminally prosecuting former Justice Department employees who improperly used political litmus tests in hiring decisions, saying he had already taken strong internal steps in response to a “painful” episode.


Right.
Read on,

“Where there is enough evidence to charge someone with a crime, we vigorously prosecute,” he said. “But not every wrong, or even every violation of the law, is a crime,” he said. As the inspector general’s report acknowledged, the hiring violations were such a case, because the wrongdoing violated federal civil service law, but not criminal law, he said.


Let me get this straight, you can break a law but not break it.
How the fuck does that work Einstein?
It gets better here;


“That does not mean, as some people have suggested, that those officials who were found by the joint reports to have committed misconduct have suffered no consequences,” Mr. Mukasey said. “Far from it. The officials most directly implicated in the misconduct left the Department to the accompaniment of substantial negative publicity.

“Their misconduct has now been laid bare by the Justice Department for all to see,” he continued. “As a general matter in such cases, where disciplinary referrals are appropriate, they are made. To put it in concrete terms, I doubt that anyone in this room would want to trade places with any of those people.”


My bold.

Ouch, the pain, the humiliation, THE FUCKING CONSEQUENCES OF BREAKING THE LAW,

"substantial negative publicity"

Kiss my ass.

There should be severe penalties from these actions and the bastard is sweeping it under the rug, all the while Miers, Bolten and Rove are ignoring Congressional subpoenas demanding further testimony into the investigation of just who in the fuck gave the OK for this illegal activity in the first place!

That weasel Gonzales is still out there too, hiding behind his faulty memory excuse.

This is pure horseshit, obstruction of justice by the biggest attorney in our country, who swore an oath to uphold the Constitution.

You can bet your ass we haven't heard the end of this shit and Mukasey should be cooling his heels in jail for obstruction and dereliction of duty, not to mention conspiracy.
Asswipe.

    What pisses me off is that Chuck Schumer, one of the most powerful Dem Senators, personally vouched for motherfucking Mukasey as being someone who would "depoliticize" Justice. The idea that the Dems and the Repubs are truly on different teams is a fucking joke. They are two wings of the same fucking party: Corporate Oligarchocrats!

  3. I don't think tha people are aware that federal prosecuters serve at the pleasure of the president and his attorney general. They can fire them for any reason they wish. Nothing illegal about it.

  4. It's the politicalization of the Justice dept, the multiple Hatch Act violations and the coverup that is the point here, sorry, I should have been a little clearer.
