Delegates seek more details into Abramoff's Guam link

Two House committee chairmen are calling for a broader investigation into former powerhouse and now convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff and his dealing's with Guam. California congressman George Miller has requested a congressional probe along with Virginia delegate Nick Rahall into the recent terminations of eight U.S. Attorneys and Abramoff's work with Guam and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.

While the U.S. Department of Justice previously determined there was nothing improper about former acting U.S. Attorney Fred Black's replacement, the two congressmen want to know whether high level Bush Administration officials tampered with the investigation of Abramoff. The two said in a press release that in light of more recent revelations about political interference, it is now necessary to reexamine the case, as it may represent the beginning of a pattern of behavior by some members of Congress and officials in the Bush Administration to politicize the work of U.S. Attorneys and quash their independence.

1. It occurs to me that Dimson's got a big problem.
The Democrats are pressing him on a 4 dimensional chessboard....and he's still trying to learn the game of checkers. He don't have the onboard HP or enough loyal soldiers to stage manage the hearings/investigations/bad news that's swirling all around him. His rubberstampers in Congress are either nuetralized or turning against him. The MSM seems to be finally waking up and asking questions...

What's a Decider to do?
