ace, recently resigned Bush admin cabinet member..Alphonso Jackson...he was HUD secretary and accepted his "friends of Angelo" mortgage discount when he was asst. secretary of HUD. HUD is the US housing and urban development regulatory and housing industry promotional agency....Be prepared ace, there will be other recipients disclosed....from both parties. If you were not concerned about Abramoff's former asst...Susan Rankin...sitting down the hall from Bush, arranging with Abramoff to distribute expense perks.....skybox tickets to pro sports events.....to Bush admin. officials and to repub members of congress in violation of gift receipt caps....why your objection to this gift giving to gov't officials from a successful corporate CEO? If you want equal treatment for democrats, ignore this story, too. If you are committed to investigation and justice based on the seriousness of the matter, write to General Mukasey and ask him to respond to the subpaena issued today by the house oversight committee for the transcript of the FBI interview of Bush and Cheney in the Plame identity leak investigation. The subpoena was issued because Mukasey did not reply to the June 3 request letter from the committee chair, Henry Waxman, requesting that transcript. Libby cancelled his appeal of his obstruction and perjury conviction, so prosecutor Fitzgerald was willing to provide the transcript, but said he was blocked by the DOJ from giving it to the people's elected reps on the house committee. No reason has been given to the committee for not permitting Fitzgerald to provide a copy.....and Mukasey ignored the letter of request. Why should any democrat trust any republican or DOJ official to investigate the conduct or ethics of anyone, ace?
