Impeachable Offense Alert!
"The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors."
- Article 2, Section IV of the United States Constitution

Wouldn't removing an attorney who was investigating Jack Abramoff and replacing him with an attorney who stopped the investigation be tantamount to a cover up? If so, wouldn't that make the Bush Administration an ACCOMPLICE in Jack Abramoff's crimes?

2. And on top of that, Bush and Cheney were involved in the outing of a COVERT CIA Agent
(Valerie Plame) while she was undercover fighting the war on terror!

Now that is without question an impeachable offense. From the mouth of the CIA Director himself, Plame was covert, so there goes their defense.

5. How about Outing a Covert, Under-cover, Classified CIA agent
who was doing covert intelligence work abroad.

7. One who just testified that she has been overseas..
in a covert position during the last 5 years from TODAY. Treason, pure and simple. The fuckers should be in front of a firing squad.

10. Remember the GAO pursuit of Cheney's "secret" national energy documents?
This led to court the first week of September 2001. Then 9/11 changed everything.

Here's a bit of research that could be used as indictments, and it came about while looking at the Walter Reed scandal.

11. The Attorney Purge is an abuse of power
There has been no adequate explanation for the purge other than to replace independent prosecutors with political hacks.

Mr. Gonzales has told the truth three different ways. At a minimum, he should be impeached if he does not resign. Karl Rove (who I do not believe is subject to impeachment) should also resign.

Right now, there is scant evidence that Bush was involved, but it shouldn't be too hard to uncover it. Frist, Rove was in it up to his eyeballs, and Rove would have kept the Frat Boy informed; second, Bush is the one who would have to sign off on replacements for the dismissed attorneys and it is inconceivable that the plot would have reached the level of discussion it did without his approval.
