Funny you should bring up politicization of the Justice Department. Janet Reno, Clinton's Crook-In-Chief, ran one of the most political JD's in history. She was front and center in killing investigations in to various Clinton misdeeds. I don't recall you being too concerned about that...

Diversion. As expected. Plus Reno never fired federal prosecutors for refusing to stick to a Democrat political schedule on cases.

I don't get how an executive privilege is necessary with a subpoena. If the WH says this is nothing but politics and won't uncover any wrongdoings, why not make the Dems look like fools by wasting taxpayer money when they end up finding nothing?

You don't understand executive privilege?

Or you just don't feel GWB should be entitled to it? Because he wouldn't be the first POTUS to invoke it. (Or attempt to.)

Well the expanded excecutive privilege that Bush has instated is something that i find kinda... wrong.

When the leaders cannot be held responsible for their own actions something HAS to be wrong.

Link the bills that were passed to expand executive priveledge giving GWB more power than any other president.

Thanks alot.

Of course-yet again, It's All Bill's Fault (copyright, national GOP party).

The 1990's GOP controlled Congress was obsessed with a multitude of ridiculous and expensive (in diverted manpower and financially) "investigations" of any and everything the White House did. If we had an Attorney General one quarter as capable, or one-quarter as honest as Janet Reno in the past seven years our country would almost certainly be on a much better track. At a minimum, the Department of Justice would not be the political enforcement tool that Bush has turned it into.

Go ahead and highlight where he said it was Bill's fault.

Go ahead. Thanks alot.

I'd love to see it, but so far the Dems are suffering from BOBO (balls on back order).

you have no idea how close you are...in my wife's native language, tagalog, bobo = stupid hahahahaha
 
Republicans are still obsessed with Clenis and Hillary, and are making no effort to remedy the reason the voters sent them packing in 2006, corruption in their own ranks and their power at all costs tactics.

Do you think the Dems will be any different if they get the White House? If I had a nickle for every time Dems will say "Well, look at the mess Bush left. We cant change it". Shit, thats the senate's excuse for doing NOTHING since elections.

And it's not about BLAME. It's about Dems bitching about Bush did this, Bush did that when in many instances Clinton and every president before him did dimilar or worse and no one complained. Thats how politics works in case you didnt know. The party not in power points at the party IN power but fails to say "But we know we're guilty too".

Take some political science courses you might learn a thing or two.

Clean your own damn house. You aren't going to get power back until you do. You can point fingers at Democrats and Clinton and scream till your face turns blue, but your party has demonstrated from 2000-2006 that it can't govern, and until it demonstrates real change from within, and not just mudslinging at the opposition, it simply cannot and will not be trusted to govern again. The more GOP resorts to your Rovian smear tactics and senseless obstructionism to undermine confidence in government institutions for political gain, the less the people will trust your party to govern. You need to demonstrate humility, self reflection, and principal reform from within, not just gotcha politics, scare tactics, and idiotic mudslinging.
We don't know what the Democrats will be like, but we do know what the Republicans were like.
Clinton allowed an independent council conduct openly partisan politically motivated fishing expeditions against him. Bush doesn't even think his administration is accountable to the representatives of the people who pay their salaries.

Then Lincoln found US Grant, not anywhere as good of a General, but instead of retiring for three months after being defeated, Grant picked himself up and kept chasing the confederate army. Which proved to be the winning strategy that won the war.

Now it looks like some house democrats are trying the same.

The morale of that story is that we should stay the course because we can pick ourselves up and keep chasing the enemy? 😕

Doesn't get more political than having your Federal agents kill a bunch of dissidents (including women and children.)

Or sending back an otherwise legal political immigrant whose mother died to get him here (Elio Gonzales sp?). And to do so, used federal agents with machine guns to kidnapp him out of his family's house in Miami.

Talk about Brown shirt jack-booted thugs. Geez.

Edit: Why even bother to mention the WH staffer who illegally obtained FBI files on political opponents (talk about civil rights violations and corruption, Damn!). Shaeds of Nixon. And Reno did zip. 😀isgust;

Let's ignore all the precedents of family law, both national and international. The boy had a father, and he was well within his rights to want to raise his child. But I guess your political axe grinding takes precedence over that? What's next? Children should be taken from parents suspected of thought crimes and raised by 'approved' families?

Reno had been in charge of Justice for what, 8 days when that started? She had no knowledge of the operation at all at that point, it was a holdover operation from the previous administration's crew, who wanted to make a big splashy arrest. If this had been handled with any sense at all, at the beginning, they would have arrested the guy while he was out jogging.

Exactly. So they should have backed down, packed up and went home, and caught him at a later date. Instead they chose to massacre a bunch of innocent people and start a war.
