DOJ firings: Not an issue? Like Hell!

Okay, as promised, here’s a quick sampler from this week’s column about the look into the firing of those 8 US Attorneys and whether or not they’re really “an issue”.

Also bear in mind that this is an Attorney General who is already under fire for how the Department of Justice has used its power under the PATRIOT Act. The FBI is already being investigated for abusing that tyrannical law. TRUST in the Department of Justice is pretty much on the low-side right now. And here we have the U.S. Attorney General – the highest law enforcing officer for the government – unable to even come clean about how eight of his prosecutors were fired!

I think that’s pretty significant, don’t you? I mean, if this guy can’t even be trusted to explain how eight of his own people got replaced, then how the hell should anyone trust him or his department for the REALLY SERIOUS stuff like enforcing our LAWS?

I think this is a pretty strong reason in and of itself why we need to look into this issue.

What do you think? Go to the Weekly Column link, read the whole article, and then come back here and post your comments.
