I’m sure this maneuvering is a big part of why the President is trying to obstruct the investigation by not allowing Rove to testify under oath. What’s really sad here is that getting the Bush administration to do actual work seems like a fruitless race unless it involves one of the “Bushies” personally profiting from it.
Some of the thousands of pages of e-mails released this week underscore the extraordinary planning and effort, at the highest levels of the Justice Department and White House, to secure Griffin a job running one of the smaller U.S. attorney’s offices in the country.
The e-mails show how D. Kyle Sampson, then the attorney general’s chief of staff, and other Justice officials prepared to use a change in federal law to bypass input from Arkansas’ two Democratic senators, who had expressed doubts about placing a former Republican National Committee operative in charge of a U.S. attorney’s office. The evidence runs contrary to assurances from Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales that no such move had been planned.
Question: I know this sounds obvious, (but I wouldn’t put it past them) but is Griffin even a lawyer?
So on Thursday Alberto Gonzales once again told us he is working tirelessly to be sure he has every American’s back covered…especially our children. Should the alleged firing of six top performing U.S. Attorneys make us feel better?
I don’t know about anyone else but I’ve always been suspicious of the guy that seems to go out of his way to tell you he’s “got your back covered”.
See a sarcastic visual that demonstrates how many Americans feel when the Attorney General reassures us that he’s got our backs covered…here:

Whats to obstruct here?Its all legal. Griffin got his law degree from Tulane, went to Oxord, served in e Justice dept, did a tour in Iaq and served under the JAG at Fort Campbell. Obviuoss he is well qualified. You guys are trying to criminalize thought you don’t agree with.
Dugger likes when Bush & Co. exploit powers for political reasons they swore they had to have to protect the country from terrorists. But then, it isn’t about National Security for the current Republican leadership, its all about usurping power.
