Such farkwittery here folks. The audacity of Special Counsel Scott Bloch and his minions just slays the hell out of me. From AP via TO:
The U.S. Office of Special Counsel last year shut down a previously undisclosed investigation into the federal prosecution of former Alabama Gov. Don Siegelman, according to an internal memo made public Wednesday.
The investigation was being conducted by a task force formed at the agency a year ago to pursue high-profile political investigations in Washington, most notably whether the White House played politics in firing U.S. attorneys. It began gathering information on the Siegelman case in September and was planning to request documents from the Justice Department in October before Special Counsel Scott Bloch ordered the case closed, according to the Jan. 18 draft memo, made public by the Project on Government Oversight, a watchdog group.
Why do they think its ok? Common sense would dictate otherwise, wouldn’t it? As Siegelman says, the most important issue now is:
“The question is who told them to shut it down,”

Yes, yes, and HELL YES! They need to demand an answer to that question, and right F’ing now. This is beyond criminal, to heinous injustice. If I was Siegelman, I’d have blood in my eyes.

Oopsy daisy, I cut myself off, midrant. The Justice Dept. tried the same BS to someone in the midwest. Fortunately, this girl went before a judge with enough common sense to see that she was getting railroaded to prison on a trumped up charge. I can’t think of too many things done to a person that are so dispicable.

Morning Troggie-Bear!
I really thought Siegelman was a tad full of shit about being railroaded by Rove and Co….but now with this I ain’t so sure.
I really want someone to go to jail in BushCo..none of the big boyz have yet…and there is still enough fucking time to convict SOMEONE of a crime..god knows they have committted enough.
