6. Tom McWeeny?

If this were a novel, no one would believe a character had a name like that. :rofl:

Is most of this steroid stuff? :shrug:

[Starfury]

7. Wow, should they be publishing phone numbers & email addr's like that?

Haven't looked at the previous document dumps, so don't know if they did that before...

[doublethink]

9. I caught that right off too ....

I was almost tempted to dial a few numbers for clarifications on some stuff already! Ha Ha! ;) ....

[Tatiana]

22. I haven't gone through all of the documents (obviously), but these are public servants.

Board members, city council members, and other elected officials/government employees usually have their email and physical addresses along with telephone numbers listed in a directory. If this were a national security issue, I might feel different, but so far I don't see anything wrong with having the email addresses and ph #s made public. They should be.

8. god i hate adobe reader

looks like issa had a hard on......

[Babel_17]

13. There are free alternatives

Caveat emptor, YMMV, but it does the job for me.

[WestHoustonDem]

10. Seems like an illegal immigration smokescreen to me

Docs 5 & 6 aren't there so I started reading back from #4

[frogcycle]

11. I have a feeling this is going to be fun

I just picked a batch at random and found this within 30 seconds

[bonito]

12. Kick!

[alfredo]

14. It appears everyone is trying to download them.

the site seems to have crashed. This is the page that is not loading. Try it later if it isn't responding.

[DemReadingDU]

15. 11 documents, wow!

[Telly Savalas]

16. They probably censored all the risqué parts.

[moc]

17. Curious thing found in one of the dumps. Can anyone make sense of this?

From http://judiciary.house.gov/media/pdfs/DOJDocsPt1-3070319.pdf. See p. 25, bottom:

Email from Miers to Sampson:

"Kyle, any current thinking on holdover U.S. Attornesy? Any recent word on (clearly whited out)'s intentions?"

Whose intentions? Whose name did they white out? Can they do that in subpoena'd documents? Can't the committee just subpoena the electronic copy?

[Starfury]

18. Hmmm, interesting example in document #6, page 42

showing how one hand washes the other, and how they wanted to keep Chiara's name away from the others...

[fooj]

20. Check THIS out...

21. It's all facsinating and revolting.

[merh]

25. I know of an investigation

that resulted in indictments and trials that targeted democrats and overlooked republicans.

Wonder how that USA has ranked.

I can't wait until they release the full version of the list.


:hi: :hug:

[troubleinwinter]

30. Yes, I know the one you are speaking of.

Hugs to Winston!

[fooj]

35. Yes. The full version of the list.

:pals:

This crap has been going on for some time, hasn't it?

[merh]

41. It's been going on as long as they have held the executive branch

Here's a book to read Blocking the Courthouse Door: How the Republican Party and Its Corporate Allies Are Taking Away Your Right to Sue it should be read by all the members of congress and their staff involved in this investigation.

BTW - the 8 that were dismissed, which states were they from, do you have a list?

:pals: :hug:

[Tatiana]

24. The Carol Lam issue is most disturbing in what I've glanced over so far.

I notice in one of the memos sent to Alberto Gonzales by a Republican congressman, there are several signatures at the bottom, including "Duke" Cunningham.

It's criminal what they did to her. Not only the AG, but these rogue, manipulative and power-hungry Congresscritters need to be held accountable for trying to exert pressure on federal prosecutors and force them to abandon their own prosecutorial judgment in favor of catering to the whims of the Republicans.

Sickening. These thugs simply make me sick.

[fooj]

36. "Criminal" is spot on. Take a look at this.

WHY CAROL LAM WAS THE "REAL PROBLEM": CORRUPT GOP FUNDED PHONY DEFENSE COMPANIES! $700 MIL!!

[nadinbrzezinski]

37. this was close to his indictment folks

oh my... they were trying to have her canned before Duke went down.

[fooj]

38. Oops.

:spank:

[Dinger]

23. Kickaroo! And Recaroo Too!

[bleever]

26. It looks like Al Capone's vault is full of stuff this time.

Wow.

[bleever]

27. Is this the Pentagon Papers of Bush's war on the rule of law?

My jaw has dropped.

[robinlynne]

28. I am positive these emails are only the safe ones. There is NO discussion

in these emilas of firing the attorneys. There are letters from Issa, etc. as if it were a legal argument for firing carol lam. You KNOW there are many many more emails they hid. They do mention "lets talk about it on the phone a lot though." And I read today that gonzalez does not use email ever.

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

29. At the risk of becoming a crashing bore...

There is already one "off the record" mail server known, at the RNC. I fully expect that there are others. What someone needs to do is get their hands on the outbound TCP/IP connection logs from their border routers or proxy servers or something like that, load them into a database and start crunching them.

If you can find clandestine email servers, that were used to get around the White House and DoJ email retention policies, you will have found The Eldorado.

These guys were all about compromising systems and policies. You can bet your bottom dollar they tried, and probably succeeded at, compromising IT systems and policies.

[frogcycle]

40. yeah, after all

they had the technologists at NSA at their disposal

but, on the other hand, some of them appear to be really ham-handed and stupid

[wildbilln864]

31. K & R!

.

[robinlynne]

32. timing of firing "shortly after the nov elections".

document 2-1 page 9

email from chiara to Paul McNulty

"Michael Elston further informed me that I should expect contact from the white house requesting my resignation as USA shortly after the nov 7 election."

[Starfury]

33. Next set of documents have been posted nt

[nadinbrzezinski]

34. Still going through and annotating the first release

by the way folks, security settings on these are non existent, so you might be able to extract it to your word processor.

Me just adding notes using my PDF creator

Oh and ABC is saying we just have 3000 emails to go through.

Good grief... data dump

[Kablooie]

39. OCR works fine on them.

There should be no problem converting them to text.
