The last bumbling scandal of the Bush presidency... maybe. Let us remember that it was the Bizarro World of the Bush presidency that gave birth to this program.

We shoulda gone after this band of comic book criminals when we had the chance in 2007.

(57,936 posts)Was the Arizona federal attorney a Bush holdover or an Obama appointment?
Obama made the mistake of retaining so many Bush federal attorneys.

(6,228 posts)If you choose to retain prior appointments, you are now taking responsibility for their actions. It was a dumb ass move and this whole thing makes me nervous.
