Justice Department documents released.

ABC News reports:

New e-mails released this evening by the Justice Department reveal the depth of White House involvement in the discussions to fire eight U.S. attorneys last year. The thousands of pages of e-mails suggest the White House was involved in the plan from the beginning.

The e-mails detail conversations about attorneys targeted for dismissal. There are no e-mails from Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, who reportedly does not use e-mail, though the Justice Department says messages show some indication that Gonzales’ former chief of staff, D. Kyle Sampson, kept the attorney general apprised.

The House Judiciary Committee website is likely to have some of the emails in PDF form available tonight.

1. Well, here it comes. Sounds like it's gonna be good.

I wonder how many of these emails came from gwb43.com. That could open up the RNC itself to investigation, and that could blow the lid off God-knows-what.

2. Wonder if it is really true that Gonzo . . .

. . . doesn't use email. Sounds like BS to me.

At any rate, this is about to get very frickin' interesting.:popcorn:

4. If he doesn't, his staff does:

3. Do you know where the DOJ

stores the documents?

5. No, but the way this cabal operates . . .

. . . they're probably packed ceiling-high in an abandoned Arbys.
