Schlozman May Ask for Senate Testimony ‘Do-Over’; Bush Lawyers Up

Share article:

(On the imaginary premise that Paris doesn’t matter…)

Schlozman may be revising his Senate testimony in which he blamed Craig Donsanto, of DoJ’s Public Integrity Unit (responsible for Election Crimes), for giving him the “all clear” to bring indictments for “voter fraud” in Missouri just days before the ’06 election. The move was in violation of written DoJ policy which specifies that such cases that may have a political effect on elections are not to be filed until after such elections. In his testimony, Schlozman admitted (great video here) that he could have waited, but didn’t.

Background and video on his previous testimony here, with a follow-up including details from a BRAD BLOG DoJ source here.

In not necessarily unrelated news, Bush lawyers up with nine additional attorneys today. Must be gettin’ hot in there.

(Hat-tip to TPM for both items!)

    I really hope that Chairman Conyers will subpoena Craig Donsanto to testify as to whether he told Schlozman it was o.k. to prosecute before the election.

    Yesterday I did,.. could not see or post a comment,..
    and when there was a link to read the rest of the story an odd page came up. It was from Apache software that led to an error page. This page told you to contact the web page administrator (Brad ?) and explain the connection configuration problem with him. Do not contact Apache.

    It was like that from 2 PM to 7 PM,.. then it started to work okay. During the time it was down/or out no adverts or photo pictures were visible only a white box with a little red cross/”X” were the photo would have been.

    Agent 99,..

    Well hello dear,.. have not seen /heard. What are you on a summer schedule writing a book pool side or from one of your beautiful sandy beaches ?

    Yes I saw that mauve box with the message. Thought he was still analyzing the difficulty, and I figured I would relay my log on snafu. ALL SEEMS TO BE WORKING NICELY TODAY.

    Yes, writing, creating new blogs, bumping into walls, doing my secret bodhisattva thing and tromping on the beach. I am a heartless bitch when it comes to Ms. Hilton, but I am indeed glad the world will come to a stop over not-harsh-enough punishment, because that will keep me from being interrupted by the rapid-fire offenses to my sensibilities of the last 6+ years.

    One thing in favor of Schlozman is that the 4 he indicted did plead guilty.

    The criticism is that he timed it just before an election to influence that election.

    Why that is not good is that moles can be placed within movements very easily, and those moles can do the nefarious bidding of controllers in the White House and break the law intentionally so as to bring charges just before an election. And plead guilty to a pre-arranged no-jail and record cleansing deal.

    I was suspicious even of the Jefferson case in Louisiana. He is now claiming that the FBI indicated to him that he was helping the FBI to nab crims in Africa and here in the US.

    He claims that they set him up after he agreed to help them to some degree. No the House is impaired.

    I was suspicious because they claimed to have a slam dunk case two years ago, but just now charged him.

    I hope they get a really good jury so we can get to the bottom of it and send him to jail if he did a crime, or send some FBI officials to jail if they set him up for political reasons.

    I have no doubt they would do so, but that does not mean they did do it. Let the jury decide.

    The two big deals that promise to really blow the lid off the bushie regime is the coverup at DOJ of the warrantless wiretapping of American citizens for partisan political reasons (to dig up “dirt” and use it against anyone attempting oversight and prosecution of “high crimes and misdemeanors”); and the concurrent partisan politicizing of the “voter fraud” canard.

    The desperation of clinging to Gonzales is explained by asking the question:

    “What would a real attorney general do (even Ashcroft thought the White What House wanted to do illegal wiretapping) when s/he sees the evidence of massive partisan political criminal operations?”

    Gonzales is a puppet of the White What House, not a real attorney general, and he will do their bidding and prosecute only the enemies of the White What House, who by now, include the people as the all time lows in the polls show.

    So they are desperate to keep him as the titular figure head of the Department of Justice Just Us to protect “just us” instead of the people.
