 Quagmire Deepens for GonzalesPosted on Mar 29, 2007The crumb trail of evidence in the U.S. attorney firing scandal leads ever more convincingly to Attorney General Alberto Gonzales following today’s testimony by his ex-chief of staff, Kyle Sampson. According to Sampson, both Gonzales and Harriet Miers, President Bush’s former counsel, “approved” and “signed off on” the plan to oust the eight federal prosecutors.

Most of these firings took place in states targeted as crucial for the 2008 elections. The apointment of Rove’s boy is an indication of the real reasons. It looks as though the planting of an article in the “dead of night” to by-pass the Senate confirmation of appointees is premeditation.

We should have as a qualification for all folks running for office.
As an example they could take Ritters pop quiz on the mid east and be quized by other folks in the know around the world.
The quiz may have helped Bush. I Cannot understand why Bush does not remember his history of Vietnam?

Bush’s war against the justice system by coining the “activist judges” phrase a long time ago, created contempt in the minds of the public for anyone in the system who doesn’t see things his way. The strategy is obvious. I don’t understand why people can’t see the agenda in progress.

If your dog bitten your neighbor to dead what should you do to your wild beast ? Give him a medal or just shoot him. I don’t think Bush could have an intelligent answer !

Why does history repeat itself with such regularity?
Nixon picked Agnew as his first VP. Agnew went on to become a convicted Felon after resigning his post. Nixon went on to direct and attempted cover up evidence in the Watergate Scandal.
bush too, has picked some really play mates. It seems birds of a feather really do flock together.
I believe these firings were designed to send a message to the other 86 Federal Prosecuters that if they wanted their jobs they had better follow the Political agenda of the neo-con corporate representatives. Like reducing monetary punishments from 130 Billion to 19 Billion for the tobacco industry.
