So we’re getting more and more goods on why the Rovebots fired the four Democratic federal prosecutors and why Alberto Gonzales is getting fed into the meat grinder. From here it looks like it’s about the only real plan for anything that the Bush White House has ever had. The occupation surge and the prosecutor purge are all part of this same plan to assure that Republicans retain their death grip on the executive branch in 2008. Okay, okay. I know that might not make a lot of sense. Let’s back up and look at some of the nasty, felonious little details behind it all as reported by Greg Palast.
There’s only one thing worse than sacking an honest prosecutor. That’s replacing an honest prosecutor with a criminal.
There was one big hoohah in Washington
as House Judiciary Chairman John Conyers pulled down the pants on George Bush’s firing of US Attorneys to expose a scheme to punish prosecutors who wouldn’t bend to political pressure.
But the Committee missed a big one: Timothy Griffin, Karl Rove’s assistant, the President’s pick as US Attorney for the Eastern District of Arkansas. Griffin, according to BBC Television, was the hidden hand behind a scheme to wipe out the voting rights of 70,000 citizens prior to the 2004 election.
