Ex-U.S. Attorney David Iglesias: ‘I feel one hundred percent vindicated’

As former U.S. Attorney David Iglesias continues his impromptu media tour following a document dump and the release of House Judiciary Committee testimony by Karl Rove and Harriet Miers, he told Talking Points Memo that he “feel(s) one hundred percent vindicated.”

Iglesias says that the documents show, despite Rove’s insistence to the contrary, that he was more than just a “conduit” of complaints from state Republican officials to White House officials and the U.S. Department of Justice .

“Conduit, schmonduit,” Iglesias said.

Iglesias also threw barbs at Pat Rogers, (”Rogers would have done their bidding”) and the New Mexico Republicans who accused him of wrongdoing. Meanwhile, he was happier with the Democrats in Congress. “I’m so grateful to (House Judiciary committee chair John) Conyers and his staff for being persevering and getting to the bottom of it,” Iglesias told TPM.

1. No, he doesn't. He will feel vindicated after he SUES KARL ROVE'S ASS

and collects a hefty judgment with punitive fees.

3. Make it so.

4. Let's hope AG Holder is just biding his time before dropping the heavy hammer of justice on all

abuse of power, politicization, and outright criminality, letting the chips fall where they may for we otherwise might as well forget about all that idealistic malarkey about freedom, liberty, and equal justice under the law. :P

6. Rove will spend the rest of his life in prison if every crime he has committed or

conspired to commit is made public.

7. That's IT? That's ALL it took for Iglesias to feel vindicated?

Nothing short of a frog-march to a supermax would do it for me.

8. This is a good man. We need many more like him.
