With partisan US attorneys, even child molesters go free if they are Repubs (shocking details):

[Czolgosz]

See the email from law enforcement detailing the sexual abuse of our children here in Texas: http://www.lonestarproject.net/files/Burzynskiemail.pdf

See the partisan hack of a US attorney's letter declining to prosecute the guilty Repub appointees because there is no evidence the minor children didn't "consent" to the rape and no evidence that the rapes were "painful": http://www.lonestarproject.net/files/DOJTYC.pdf

Read all the shocking details of this shameful partisan abuse of our system and our children here: http://www.lonestarproject.net/index.html

Please help get this story out because it explains why the position of US Attorney cannot be just another partisan political hack appointment. This scandal is going on RIGHT NOW and it is not too late to stop the injustice! Please help get the word out.

In summary, the email by Texas Ranger Brian Burzynski sent to Texas AG official William Tatum confirms the US Department of Justice and the Texas Attorney General's office were aware of the sexual abuse of juveniles at the Texas Youth Commission for a year before the story came out recently. Two DoJ investigators interviewed abused kids and made out an indictment, but the indictment was abandoned after final approval from "up their chain of command" was denied.

6. The political nature of the decision by the US Attorney not to indict has made little news

E-mail shows AG's office had graphic report on TYC abuse in 2006

An assistant attorney general received a report a year ago that graphically detailed the sexual abuse of Texas Youth Commission inmates but didn't pursue the case because of jurisdictional concerns, according to e-mails obtained Friday by The Associated Press.... Burzynski's 2005 report included several statements from students who said they were molested by two former officials at the West Texas State School in Pyote. Semen from one of the students was found on the carpet of one former official's office.

Still, neither of the two men have been charged with any crimes. Ward County District Attorney Randall Reynolds has said the cases stalled because of a "breakdown in communications." ... But Burzynski described a different scenario in his e-mail to Tatum, which Abbott's office released to the AP under the Texas Public Information Act. ... He said he filed the case with federal prosecutors because his local prosecutor was "very weak." But Department of Justice officials didn't approve the indictment they prepared because the suspects could only be charged with misdemeanors under federal law....

Lawmakers were outraged when Burzynski described the exchange during a Thursday hearing on the growing scandal.... Still, Democratic Rep. Jim Dunnam of Waco said the attorney general's office had a moral obligation, if not the legal authority, to make sure problems within the agency were addressed as quickly as possible... "If you look at a copy of the report ... it would become very clear that action was needed at the agency," said Dunnam, chairman of the House Democratic Caucus. ... "There were allegations that he had done some unauthorized redacting of documents," said TYC spokesman Jim Hurley. "I can't comment on the legality of what was done, but ethically it's wrong. No state employee should ever do that. It will not be tolerated."

7. This -- from the DOJ website. --

"Our nation has made this commitment: Anyone who targets a child for harm will be a primary target of law enforcement. That's our commitment. Anyone who takes the life or innocence of a child will be punished to the full extent of the law."
President George W. Bush, October 23, 2002


"We cannot, and we will not, tolerate those who seek to abuse or exploit our children."
Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales, April 20, 2006

8. Those are some great quotes illustrating the Repub hypocrisy at the heart of this scandal

[AikidoSoul]

10. F***ing scumbags. DoJ KEPT this prosecutor?!!!!!

K & R

One of the things that strikes again and again is the fact that
Republicans' actions and behavior seem to condone this kind of
thing...

[rfranklin]

11. Before you get too excited, were there any other....

efforts to prosecute this under state law?

[Czolgosz]

13. Both the Repub Texas Attorney General and the Repub US Attorney passed on prosecuting this sex crime

against minor children in the custody of the State of Texas.

It is shameful!

[mike6640]

19. It is in the State DA's office

From what I could gather: The case has been sent to the Texas DA who is has not taken any action on it and will most likely not before statute of limitations runs out.

Pardon the run on sentence.

12. Why can't this be prosecuted in local courts ?

I don't get it, if there were rapes of minors at an institution, does it have to be pursued by federal courts? Is there no way to get it to the local courts and away from this bias?

[loudsue]

14. Someone needs to post this at DKos & Huffingpost....

The word needs to get out on this one....Can someone get it to Waxman & Conyers?

:kick::kick::kick::kick::kick::kick::kick::kick:

[Czolgosz]

17. I would be very grateful if someone could post this at DKos, Huffpost, and anywhere else the message

can be broadcast.

[Morgana LaFey]

15. Can someone get this to Josh Marshall ?? He was the one who

championed the whole purge thing.

This NEEDS to come out, and big.

[loudsue]

16. Great idea!

Josh Marshall needs to show the relationship between the firing of these US attorneys to get their politicos in there....the nation already knows about about .... shit... what's his name... the congressman that left because he was making passes at the boy aide right before the 2006 elections.

They can show a connection between the firings of the US attorneys and REPUBLICANS skating on that kind of prosecution due to REPUBLICAN appointed attorneys, who won't prosecute republics.

Repubics are soooo "family values" and all! So "concerned" that their kids, who they are sooo trying to "protect" from Democrats ( ! ) and gays, might be in harms way.

Hell, with republicans, every kid in the country is in harms way. The rePERVlickin party.

THIS IS HUGH!!!11 I'M SERIES!111!!

On edit: It was Mark Foley whose name I forgot.

[Czolgosz]

23. Agreed!

[happydreams]

18. This makes sense...

They were probably covering their own asses since a goodly number of the fucking Repugs out there are child molesters, rapists. K&R!

[Czolgosz]

20. It's not that so many Repubs are child molesters, but when a Repub Texas governor appoints Repub

supporters to oversee the welfare of at-risk Texas children and there is a sexual abuse scandal of the worst type of abuse imaginable, the Repub appointed US Attorney and Repub Texas AG would rather sweep the whole ugly mess under the table than do justice for those Texas kids. This shows that there is NO LIMIT to the corruption that Repub partisanship inspires and then self-perpetuates.

[happydreams]

21. I was being a little sarcastic. My take on Repug perverts is

that they have an international network of child sex slaves which, if true, makes this case seem like, uh, er...child's play.

Good post. K&R
