liveblogging MSNBC now: reporting as “breaking news” re Gonzales/atty scandal. They are showing tape of Schumer’s statement. They have Kelly O’Donnell in Mexico saying that the Pres. isn’t talking about it, but WH officials are dissecting the info. Bush talked to Gonzo in 2006 about the firings (before they were fired) but “Bush didn’t direct the firings”. Harriet Miers, not the President, wanted the firings. WaPo said WH wanted them all fired, but “officials are telling us that Rove remembers Miers coming to him with the suggestion to purge the attorneys, but Rove remembers that he discouraged Miers from firing all 93 attorneys.” Kelly O’Donnell says that this is what Rove says he remembers – that it was Miers idea, and that he personally discouraged the notion of canning all 93 attorneys”. (note: the story didn’t say if Rove remembers discouraging the notion of firing any of them).

(Kelly O’Donnell really seemed to emphasize the point I put in italics. She delivered this line with a tiny hint of sarcasm, as if she might not believe what Rove claims to have remembered).

Looks to me like they’re gonna try and blame Harriet Miers. Amazing to me that they are going to try to say Rove remembers being the good guy. I think that makes me at least as nauseaous as the photo at the top of this thread!

It’s pretty clear that the strategy was to fire all the attorneys- make them submit perfunctory resignations- as cover for the firing of a select few that were not rolling over politically. They would then hire back the loyalists.

Clearly this would havew caused th collapse of all ongoing investigations and prosecutions…just look at what would have been terminated or jeopardized….all the Abramoff investigations, the prosecution of the Enron and other corporate embezzlers, the Illinois corruption scandal, and it wqould likely have been a way of stripping Fitz of his staff.

Of course it would have wreaked havoc with any domestic terrorism cases being handled by Federal Prosecutors…but since the WH put most of these under military jurisdiction it wouldn’t mean much to destroy the operations of the Federal Judiciary.

WAIT A SECOND! Isn’t that how the President can strip away the right of habeas corpus? If there is a national emergency causing the collapse of the judiciary (such as invasion or civil insurrection) the military can take over?

this pains me so much.

Here is an addendum, from a nine year olds perspective, any republican ass hat will suffice as the model;
