Bloch shut down probe of Siegelman Case Last Year
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,”

yep- put a fork in me- i am done. i am giving in and just living and let live. i can’t fight it anymore- the elitist in me has decided that i will acquiesce to the 1/3 of the american people who really think that another clinton in the white house will be what this country needs after 8 years of neo cons; to the 1/3 of the american public who will vote for mccain for reasons i just can’t wrap my mind around. minorities in this country are not well received- apparently, not even by each other as evidenced by the nasty campaign that hillary clinton has waged against barack obama. the people who are clinton supporters think bowling and

like it or not- human nature doesn’t change. it isn’t that it isn’t capable of change- it just doesn’t. anyone who has read any history- whether it be american or global- sizes up our current situation fairly quickly. it is one reason that words like ‘fascism’ and ‘nazism’ are bandied about. my thought is- this particular crew had history as their oyster- they have picked and chosen the worst components of all of the ‘isms’ and rolled them into a bastardized form of capitalism i like to call a corporatocracy. what folks don’t realize- they are just tools and are being used. americans tend to be reactionary folk. easily manipulated comes to mind also. we aren’t the world’s deepest thinkers and we have always been people of action- moving, moving, moving- which is probably how new york got the moniker ‘city that doesn’t sleep’- but i digress. i don’t really have much to say these days as i read words written by other americans. not the politicians- i checked out on that one. many folks are throwing terms around like ‘country falling into an abyss’ and there’s the matter of something like 81 % of the country believes this country is headed in the wrong direction- to which a firm, smirky ’so?’ was the response. how can i say that these folks are wrong? i can’t. they aren’t. the world has ridden out regimes before- this country revolted once against a monarch and has assisted other countries in their fight as well (to what end i now question but i will save that for another time). this century’s greatest single issue is global climate change. we probably have enough oil- but as that’s part of the bigger problem- along with coal- it’s all pretty moot. i guess i just wasn’t expecting things to happen quite so quickly- food and water shortages were not part of the msm’s news array and we have all been kept in the dark as to how bad the state of the world truly is.
