Who are the loyal bushies and what crimes did they commit

[Fresh_Start]

in order to be allowed into the hallowed circle of criminals?

We need to find out who the loyal bushies are.
We need to compare their performance to those that were axed
We need to see how they curried favor with Gonzales and the White House

1. Bingo. I have been wondering the same thing. What did they do to avoid being fired?

2. Yep, Subpoena Them All

Lets get the truth out.

3. Subpoenaing the USA's isn't the route to go here. Congress

needs to check the arrest/indictment/conviction records of all the USA's.

4. That Should Be Done Too

But I see no reason not to subpoena them and find out if they were pressured to prosecute Dems alone. Why do we always fight to have just one way chosen as the right thing to do? I think we should use every tool possible to stop this madness!

8. I don't disagree that all avenues should be persued. I simply

don't seemuch of an advantage to subpoenaingall the other USA's. First of all, those who were already"Bushies Enough" wouldn't have been pressured, and those who might have sucombed to pressure are certainly not going to admit they were!

I wasn't trying to let anyone off the hook or avoidusing all avenues of investigation. I just believe researching all the cases for each of the other USA's would lead topossible & likely cases of judicial bias. When suspect cases are found, THEN the associated USA should be subpoenaed to provide valid explaination.

5. Dick Durbin agrees

He said so this morning.

6. thats great, what is he planning on doing about it?

seems like a wonderful use for the NSA wiretaps and the FBI datamining efforts.

7. I thinking he was speaking

as vice chair of one of the committees that plans to hold hearings on the matter. Could be wrong about the exact title; when I heard it I remember thinking that with his standing, that comment might actually mean something. Like the threat of hearing from USA's who were NOT fired. Could be a threat to put the WH more in a mood to compromise over testimony, oaths etc, but if the question of executive privilege ended up wending its leisurely way through court, the committees would still have plenty to keep them occupied.
