Does the left have a new hero in Ashcroft?
Will Gonzales admit to his sex change operation?
Will Congress ever remember we are at war and that without fixing social security the nation will go into ruin?
Tune in next week, same time same channel. |
ace....you and "your ilk" tried and failed to demonize and discredit Libby prosecutor, Patrick Fitzgerald, a close and trusted friend of James Comey.
Read this, ace.

Mr. Comey Goes To Washington
Just as his terrorism and corporate-corruption cases here are heating up, United States Attorney James Comey is heading south to become John Ashcroft’s deputy. What’s a nice, nonpartisan prosecutor going to do in a Justice Department like that?

I think that Comey is flawed.....and his flawed thinking (attitude towards Padilla prosecution, 1984 vote for Reagan, etc...), but a liar....under oath in a senate committee hearing, he is definitely not, ace.
I'm a pretty good judge of character, ace. Comey and Fitzgerald have some, Bush, Cheney, Libby, Card, Gonzales have.....none that I can discern.
Unlike you, I think that Comey's senate committee testimony confirmed our worst fears of the depths of the criminality and disregard for the US Constitution that we have had confirmed, in six long years. As a result, I have changed my "sig" here to reflect my impression. I also don't think it will be a very long time until we get confirmation of how "far off" the sentiments that you expressed in your last post, actually are from the implications of what Comey said in his testimony mean....for what Mr. Bush and Mr. Cheney "stand for".....
What have you been right about, ace? Sheesh ! This isn't about reversing an unfavorable opinion with regard to Ashcroft. It's about the degree of the reversal of the oath that president Bush and vice-president Cheney took to

It came to Comey's attention, and to the attention of the people Comey named in his testimony....that President Bush, on the flawed, contrived "advice" of his OLC attorneys, had flagrantly usurped the rights guaranteed to the rest of us, in the US Constitution. Comey simply testifed as to how he attempted to reverse those illegal actions, and about who, in addition to himself, were willing to resign if the president did not agree to conduct the duties of his office within the CONFINES of the law.
