Sen. Orin Hatch Thinks Prosecution of Immigrants More Important Than Prosecution of Pedophiles

[Eurobabe]

[Eurobabe]

3. Shut up Arlen. Get on with this!!

[annabanana]

4. I had a few questions in mind... but "cruel & unusual punishement"

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

[fooj]

60. Ok. We should probably stick with ...nevermind, eh?

:hi:

[annabanana]

7. In hindsight you agree the Dept. went down the wrong road

[Duer 157099]

8. Back to Specter

[annabanana]

9. He's making nice right now

[orleans]

16. arlen: (kiss kiss smack kiss kiss kiss) n/t

[LSK]

11. Is Specter closing now?

[Eurobabe]

21. Yes, Arlen is wrapping: concerned about circumventing PA provision

[sabra]

12. Wasn't Sampson initially claiming that the issue was how the DOJ handled the PR?

not necessarily the firings themselves? And now he admits that firing Iglesias wasn't the right move...

[annabanana]

13. stroking Gonzales now

[steve2470]

Specter and Hatch are going to be obstructionists, very obvious to me

If you disagree, speak up :)

[WinkyDink]

17. Aaaaand...Specter reverts to form! All's right with the world!

[rusty charly]

22. "what wonderful, insightful, responsive answers!"

[quiet.american]

35. Sampson: "Really? Thanks - I don't remember what I said." n/t

[LSK]

[SaveAmerica]

19. I'm convinced Sampson is Rove's love child

[orleans]

29. i think tim griffin is & that's why karl got him a job!

maybe griffin is karl & kyle's child??

[annabanana]

20. It sounds like a closing.... not sure

[annabanana]

23. Spectre is now absolving everyone

[LSK]

he must have forgotten that he is not chair

[Eurobabe]

25. AS: Point is not that BOOSCH had right to fire attys., wow.

Disagreeing about AG Gonzo saying that rep of DOJ is more important than rep of USAs.

[annabanana]

26. They are wrapping up...

[annabanana]

the record remains open They retain the right to reconvene

[rusty charly]

33. they need to be home for "jeopardy"

[quiet.american]

27. On the note of the immigration excuse, I still think this is important.

The e-mails also show that administration officials struggled to find a way to justify the firings and considered citing immigration enforcement simply because three of the fired prosecutors were stationed near the border with Mexico. While the e-mails don't provide evidence of partisan motives for the firings, they seem to undercut the administration's explanation that the prosecutors were dismissed for poor performance.


"The one common link here is that three of them are along the southern border so you could make the connection that DOJ is unhappy with the immigration prosecution numbers in those districts," Tasia Scolinos, a senior public affairs specialist at the Justice Department, told Catherine Martin, a White House communications adviser, in an e-mail.

[onenote]

62. Catherine Martin:

Worked for Cheney....

[verse18]

28. I'm glad to see Mr. Sampson testifying

Fully, truthfully, and publicly in front of Congress like he promised. You can always expect a repig to stand behind his word.:sarcasm:

At best, that was a perfect picture of how not to fire someone.
