What part of "..serves at the pleasure of the Executive office" do you assholes not understand? Well, if they were fired because they refused to *not* drop investigations into prominent republicans, or were fired because they refused to *maliciously* prosecute democrats that were not under otherwise scrutiny, there's a problem. And there was a crime (in their marching orders). If they were fired just because they didn't walk the walk with proper republican ideology, I see that as a problem because a DOJ that's just an executive political tool will of course be misused... but such use is indeed legal and constitutional. IOW, they were legally fired, but if they were fired because they wouldn't break the law, I for one would like to know. Dave |

Dave Heads up Davy Boyo..every time there is a new administration, virtually all get the ax Its accepted procedure all the way back to FDR Unless you are claiming that Bush is so powerful that he set precident 80 *yrs ago..... And speaking of carrying out the wishes...anyone heard from Terry Lenzner these days? Clinton's secret police revisited Posted: November 19, 1998 1:00 am Eastern As the impeachment hearings begin in the House Judiciary Committee, we learn a little bit more about the "secret police" President Clinton has commissioned to intimidate witnesses, investigate adversaries and harass opposition. If the inquiry doesn't deal with dirty trickster Terry Lenzner, you'll know the fix is in. Who is this guy? He's a CIA-connected attorney-turned-private investigator whose Investigative Group International firm has had at least one taxpayer-paid contract with the White House for $100,000. Today, WorldNetDaily reveals an interesting twist to Lenzner's CIA link. He admits representing one of the darkest and most notorious agency figures -- Sidney Gottlieb, described as a real-life "Dr. Strangelove" character who ran black operations in drug and mind-control experiments. Lenzner, the former Senate Watergate counsel, even sued a Senate committee investigating CIA dirty tricks and assassinations to keep Gottlieb's name from emerging in hearings. Nice guy, huh? But it gets worse. This is clearly a man on a mission. It's just a little difficult to figure out what that mission is. Lenzner had worked in the Nixon Justice Department before being fired for funneling taxpayer dollars to the Black Panthers and other militant groups. He then joined the defense team of Father Philip Berrigan, charged with planning to kidnap Henry Kissinger, blow up heating tunnels and destroy draft records. Is he a political zealot? A hired gun? It's tough to know with the mysterious Lenzner. But if the House Judiciary Committee doesn't ask any probing questions about him and his role in the Clinton scandals cover-up, we'll know for certain that he's got the goods on one too many committee members. That's the role of Clinton's secret police -- one of the great untold stories of this repressive administration and a far bigger scandal than Monica Lewinsky. If you doubt it, ladies and gentlemen of the committee, just call former Clinton aide Dick Morris, who has written eloquently about what was called in the Nixon administration a "plumbers' operation," to testify. How could the impeachment inquiry not touch on what Clinton bought from Lenzner with taxpayer dollars totaling at least $100,000? Aren't members just a little curious? Or are they too afraid to find out what Lenzner might have learned -- perhaps about them? Perjury, obstruction of justice and hush payments interest me. They are certainly impeachable offenses. But it seems the Congress is missing the big picture here. The real crimes of the Clinton administration involve dirty tricks, illegal domestic spying, misuse of official files, abuse of federal agencies, foreign cash, technology leaks -- the kind of stuff that is right up Terry Lenzner's alley. Scratch the surface of these scandals and the legacy of the "most ethical administration in the history of America" will fall like a house of cards. But don't count on this Congress to do the job. Oh, yeah, the House might nail Clinton for something everyone already knows about -- his sordid dalliance with a White House intern, his sexual harassment of a volunteer, even the orchestration of a hush payment to Hillary Clinton's former law partner Webster Hubbell, once the third highest-ranking official in the Justice Department. However, that's as far as the current script goes in revealing high crimes and misdemeanors of the Clinton White House. The rest is off-limits. The Republicans have made a tacit deal with the Democrats. Other skeletons in other closets will remain hidden from the public view. And Clinton will remain in office to finish out his second term. God only knows what havoc he will wreak on our freedoms in the next two years. There's only one factor that could change that scenario -- an unprecedented public uproar. There are many poll-watchers, pulse-takers and human weather vanes in Washington. So make noise. Show them which way the wind is blowing. Let them know that not everyone in this great country is mesmerized by the major networks and the government-media complex. Demonstrate that you are watching and you care. The crimes of the Clinton administration must not go unpunished -- or America will be forever changed, forever cheapened, forever threatened. It's time to expose America's secret police, all their dirty tricks and the official corruption they seek to hide. "Obama, raises taxes and kills babies. *Sarah Palin - raises babies and kills taxes." Pyotr Flipivich One can always tell when you have a weak argument, or bush is caught up to his neck in his misdeeds- you start puling and whining about the democrats, and how they did... whatever.That's ****ing pathetic and weak. Little children do that when caught, trying to evade responsibility (is that a republican value now?) by calling out, 'Yeah, but what Billy did was WORSE!' Its the republican version of covering your ears and yelling 'I can't hear you, I can't hear you'. Whatever clinton did, I'm sure as hell not one of his defenders in most things (well, actually, budget surplus is about the only thing), the clinton machine was one of the best at dirty tricks and intimidation. BTW, did you notice these were attorneys hired by bush? If a crime was committed, do you even give a ****? Dave |

Coming from someone who thinks that Bush sent Katrina into New Orleans to kill the poor, your protests and protestations of Bubbas innocence is hysterically funny Gunner "Obama, raises taxes and kills babies. *Sarah Palin - raises babies and kills taxes." Pyotr Flipivich What are the FACTS? What did I SAY? You can't answer either question, I see. You don't even read what's written, do you? Or is it that you can't be bothered by pesky facts? You should have been in bushies cabinet, either way, it'd be a great fit. Where do I defend anyone? Oops, did I let slip the fact that clinton reduced the deficit? That's not a defense of his actions, its the only good thing he did that I can come up with. Where did I write anything about katrina? Do you just figure that if I'm anti-bush because of his crimes and misdeeds I'm a raving leftie? Wait, that's right, you've already admitted you are not capable of rational thought in that respect. People can only be pure of heart and thought and think like you, or be against you and yours and america. Do you make up what other people say in your head when they don't act the way you want or expect, or do you actually think I said anything of the sort? It'll be interesting to see what you make up regarding this post. One thing I'm certain of, you won't see a word of it, you'll just see what you want, and make up more bull****. Dave |
