Sampson emails to Harriet Miers/others : Nov. 15 - Dec. 4-5 (the Gap)
Edited on Wed Mar-21-07 08:13 AM by Solly Mack
These are email exchanges that show a gap of 18 days regarding the "plan"
Stop on the 15th of November and start back up on the 4th of December
I'm still reading the documents.

DOJ Documents Part 2-1 Released 03-19-07

Pages 14 and 18 - 23 of 50

edit to add this November 15th email
Sampson to Miers:regarding Bush/"Karl's Shop"



Sampson emails/replies to McNulty/Battle/Kelley, etc - a CC to Miers : Regarding DOJ USA Replacement Plan document





McNulty answers Sampson regarding talking to Johnny Sutton and Bill Mercer





DOJ USA Replacement Plan discussed in above emails







For my Journal primarily (easy to find later) - but if it aids anyone else - GREAT!!!!

1. fascinating but a quick question
Edited on Wed Mar-21-07 08:07 AM by C_U_L8R
when did Harriet Miers supposedly stop working for the administration? Did she ever stop?

on edit.. checked wikipedia:
"On January 4, 2007, she submitted her resignation from the position of White House Counsel, effective January 31 "

7. Ed Henry asked Tony Snow about the gap
in a press conference a little while ago. He said, paraphrasing, 'good question, ask the DOJ'

12. Welcome. I think it very telling that in the last email before the gap
Miers and Sampson discuss telling Bush and "Karl's Shop" - but then nothing else until the 4th of December and then no mention of telling Bush/"Karl's Shop"

Good work! Thank you so much!

I must need new reading glasses, because it's killing my eyes. Bookmarking and reading in small bits.

15. Correct me if I'm wrong
But the email gap began on November 15, 2006 12:08 PM. The gap ended on December 4, 2006 6:12 PM.

Would that mean that there was an 18 and a half day gap in the tapes email correspondence? ;)

17. LOL Yes...but McNulty didn't reply until Dec 5th to one of the emails
he got on the 4th - at least the date of reply states the 5th - so let's stick with the 18 number

but I like the way you think :)

22. You must have been born well after Watergate...
there is an unexplained 18 (and a half) minute gap in the tapes that Nixon had to turn over to Congress. Pretty much sealed Nixon's fate.

26. I must have answered the phone, and I accidently hit the record button
while I was stretched out, reaching for the phone, I must have still had my foot on the peddle...for 18 minutes! Too much. Thank you, Solly. Thanks for putting the time in and sharing with us.

30. The number 18
Let's not forget that three republics in three different counties in TX won their races, each w/a total of 18,181 votes.

Great work and thank you, Solly!

31. The "chance to serve" spin is bogus on its face...
... since no specific replacement candidates pre-existed necessitating the specific replacement of the USAs summarily sacked. (e.g. the pre-arranged replacements were citizens of the states in question)

So, since no replacement candidates had been identified in advance, *any* USAs could have been sacked. Therefore, the question remains... why *these* attorneys? And why not others?
