No criminal prosecutions are planned for former Justice Department officials accused of allowing politics to influence the hiring of prosecutors, immigration judges and other career government lawyers, Attorney General Michael Mukasey said Tuesday.Well how about that. The Bush regime gets caught red-handed and they get another pass. What must they do to get held accountable for their lying? Do they have to post a video on YouTube with their ugly mugs close to the camera chanting, "I am a criminal, I kill babies for fun"...is that what it will take?
But, he told delegates to the American Bar Association annual meeting, "Not every wrong, or even every violation of the law, is a crime. In this instance, the two joint reports found only violations of the civil service laws."
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy said Mukasey "seems intent on insulating this administration from accountability."
The Vermont Democrat said Mukasey's remarks "appear premature based on the facts and evidence that congressional investigators and the inspector general have uncovered so far" in the hiring scandal. "We must continue to pursue the truth and facts, and hold any wrongdoers accountable," Leahy said.
I really am beginning to think that the fix is in...from the top, the bottom, from the left and right. There will be no justice for the people. They will get away with it, with everything...the fake war, the war profiteering, the crushing of the economy, the election fixing...everything.
Can the American people get screwed? Yes we can.

And I do read other places other than the Huff and DailyKos.
The facts are that they blatantly hired people who share their worldview, regardless of qualifications. That is illegal. Period.
And the last time I checked, Clinton hasn\'t been president in almost 8 years. I just love how YOU people love to keep trottin\' ole Bill out when Bush et al get caught doing something.
Maybe you should make your name Slightly Delusional?
