Yet more on GonzoGate...
This post will be edited throughout the afternoon as I get caught up:
Schlozman's "good Americans" sounds like "good Germans": When Bradley Schlozman was in charge of hiring at the DoJ's civil rights department, he went nuts removing minorities and women hired under Democratic administrations, and replaced most of them with white Christian men (referred to by Schlozman as "good Americans").
One last loyal Bushie: Bush finally signed the "no more 'loyal Bushie' attorneys" bill into law last Thursday. However, he stalled the signing long enough (10 days!) for Gonzo to slip one last appointment in: George Cardona is the new US Attorney in the Central District of California.
Another one bites the dust: Mike Elston, chief of staff to since-resigned Paul McNulty, has himself resigned from the DoJ. Elston may have been one of the foot soldiers of this Mafia-esque DoJ regime. He's been implicated in the hiring scandal (rejecting non-loyal-Bushie candidates), the false voter fraud scandal (coordinating with Schlozman to push the accusations through before the election), and the attorney-firing scandal (calling fired attorneys and threatening them to not testify before Congress).
"I'm not a zookeeper!": Tim Griffin can't really get his story straight regarding the caging scandal. First, he refers to it as Monica Goodling did ("it's a direct-marketing term"), then, somehow, gets sidetracked into saying, "I didn’t cage animals, I’m not a zookeeper." Ironic, isn't it, to get this reference when he's accused of helping to strike black voters off the rolls in Florida... eh? UPDATE: Today, Sens. Kennedy and Whitehouse are demanding a Justice Department investigation into the caging tactics practiced by Griffin and the rest of the criminals-I mean-Bush administration.
Tighten those leashes: Still hanging on to his job, AG Gonzo has decided he's going to make life harder for the US Attorneys now that he can no longer appoint any loyal Bushies. The attorney review process will be far more strict (in his words, "more vigorous and a little bit more formal"), and will also have a startling new feature... Let's hear it in Don Fredo's own words: "If I've heard of complaints from a member of Congress, it gives me or the deputy attorney general an opportunity to tell the U.S. attorney what we're hearing." WHAT? This is just his way of ensuring the process of keeping one's job as US Attorney entails making sure they do the bidding of the neo-con cabal!
