The previous two days in Attorneygate
Gone-zo made a few appearances early this week. First, in Denver, reporters were not allowed to ask questions. They were allowed to ask questions on Tuesday, when Al-B-Gone appeared in Chicago at a prosecutor's conference hosted by Patrick Fitzgerald; he ran from the questions within two minutes, after being asked how he gave Mr. Fitzgerald a "subpar" rating. At this conference, US attorneys told Alberto that they felt as if their jobs were threatened and that they are considered unimportant by the DoJ in regards to setting legal policy.
Who is Monica Goodling, Fredo's counsel at DoJ? McClatchy looks into her background... and guess where she got her law degree from? If you guessed Pat Robertson's Regent University, good job! Anyway, FBI Director Mueller has been testifying at the hearings, and he considers it unprecedented that a DoJ employee would plead the Fifth Amendment in order to avoid having her testimony incriminate herself. It may be time for Alberto to show up and defend himself in front of the Judiciary Committee.
Mueller also debunks DoJ allegations that some attorneys were removed for failure to prosecute voter fraud.
Sen. Pete Domenici's (R-NM) chief of staff sent a thank-you note addressed to Karl "MC" Rove and two other White House officials subsequent to the removal of US Attorney David Iglesias. It's not hard to see the two connected.
Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) sent a letter to former US Attorney Carol Lam which may have violated some Congressional ethics rules. In this letter, Issa inquired as to why a case against an alleged "known alien smuggler" was dropped. Issa has had a history of challenging Lam on immigration issues, even though US Customs and Border Protection praised her in a letter they sent her after her departure.
Today in the scandal coming shortly.
