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

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.

Your Government In Action

Senate conservatives break all-time obstructionism record.

After Senate conservatives “filibustered an omnibus budget bill” yesterday, they set “a modern-day record for blocking the most legislation during a congressional session,” according to a new report by the Campaign for America’s Future. In just the first year of the 110th Congress, conservatives have used the filibuster 62 times, topping the record set by the entire 107th Congress.
Courtesy, Think Progress.

Think Progress, Great name for a website, not so much a political strategy it seems.
The time is coming when these Repug obstructionist motherfuckers aren't going to have the stroke they have now and the volume of their screeching will go up exponentially.

Covering Bush's ass as they have so far, will soon be an exersize in self flaggelation.
Now that Trent Lott is gone, so is his official sphere of influence, that has to help.
Of course, Trent boy has his hands full of steaming hot shit right now with a huge investigation into misdeeds by his lawyer brother in law Dickie Scruggs.
To get the drift of just how much shit is headed downhill at warp speed towards 'ol Trent, you HAVE to go visit my friend Lotus over at FOLO.
She has been covering this like ants at a picnic.
Stop over and find out how high the tide is at the waste water plant that is the Scruggs case.
Tell the Flowa Busted sent ya. She's a hoot!

Another BushCo Crony Down

Via AP News.

Monica Goodling, top aide to endangerd AG Gonzales submitted her resignation unexpectedly today, to be effective tomorrow.
In a three letter sentence she offered her resignation with no reason attached.
This comes almost two weeks after she told Congress that she would not appear for questioning and would invoke her fifth amendment rights if subpoenaed.

This is going to put the hurt on Abu something fierce.
Reportedly he has been practicing his testimony day and night in anticipation of his appearance before The Oversight committee.

Dude, How much practice does it take to say 'I can't recall' or ' I don't remember'?

Be cause as sure as I am sitting here , that is what we are looking at.
My guess is Abu is toast. He is between a rock and a very hard place.
The Repubs have been backing away from him like he has herpes.
Even Shrub has been getting quieter on the subject. All we need now is a 'heckofajob' moment, and he's done.
First I want to see the little bastard sweat. Hard. Then I want to see him get slapped with a contempt of congress charge.
Abu is responsible for many of the legal horrors visited on us by this administration and has much to atone for.

Killing time waiting for more testimony in front of Waxmans committee.

Ralston should be good, she was Roves secretary and her office was a short jog from Stupie McFuckwits. I bet she knows plenty, if she remembers anything.
Then Abu Gonzales. April 17th.
I hope he needs help leaving after they ream his ass, not sprinting away like he did in Chicago.
There is only so far that little bastard can run anyway.
