LIEberman won’t do it — he just got re-elected to his Senate seat, which will be his for six years. Why should he want a piddly AG position, that might last eighteen months?

This is about power, and being head of a Department in the Executive Branch does not carry the power that being a Senator does.

I hope Gonzo resigns soon.

I’m starting to feel sorry for the sommamabitch.

I know this has been gone over to a faretheewell, but I’m wondering what those you who are around now think. In the event of a Gonzo gone, who could get confirmed by the Senate? Hopefully not LIEberman. Perhaps James Comey, an on-record Republican, the fella who appointed PJF… well maybe not Comey. Who else d’YOU think?

Sorry. Not a clue.

I wonder if there is a Native American website somewhere that has anything of interest posted on it (like emails they might have that we haven’t seen yet). I’m going to search. You know how ticked off they are. Anyone know any good Native American linkys?

Best bet would be the Native American Rights Fund, but I’ll bet they don’t have it. Waxman’s or Leahy’s committee should subpoena these records, maybe subject to some screening criteria.

Am I crazy?

In a word, NO.

Read luaptifer’s work on gwb43.com at ePluribus Media (much cross-posted at DailyKos).

Congressional firewall was useless, since they had an RNC contractor inside the network.

Data from OH elections (direct from precincts) was moving in and out of the same network as RNC servers.

There are many other domains and a dual IP address in play here as well.

You are not crazy; it’s just that the media is exceptionally stupid when it comes to technology and cannot explain this stuff. They cannot tell the people that their election was compromised as is their government, by a single party’s IT contractor.

Waxman Sets Hearing to Consider Batch of Subpoenas
Friday, April 20; 2:03 pm
By Paul Singer,
Roll Call Staff

——————————————————————————–

House Oversight and Government Reform Chairman Henry Waxman (D-Calif.) is ginning up the subpoena mill, scheduling a meeting next week to consider subpoenas in four different investigations of the Bush administration.

Waxman sent four letters today to Republican officials explaining that because the committee has not received sufficient cooperation in several ongoing investigations, the committee will meet April 25 to consider issuing subpoenas.

Ten days ago, Waxman’s office issued a statement to Roll Call noting the restraint with which his committee has wielded its subpoena power.

“The committee is conducting long overdue oversight that has already saved taxpayers millions,” Waxman said at the time. “It has exercised all its powers responsibly. In contrast to the model set by the Republicans during the Clinton administration, when subpoenas were a daily occurrence, the Committee has yet to issue a subpoena.”

That may change next week.

Unless Republicans offer their testimony voluntarily, Waxman’s committee will consider issuing subpoenas for:

* Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice for testimony about her role in President Bush’s now discredited claim that Iraq was seeking to obtain uranium from Niger;

* Former White House Chief of Staff Andrew Card for his testimony in regard to the leak of former CIA operative Valerie Plame’s name to the press;

* The Republican National Committee for documents related to RNC e-mail accounts used by White House officials, including Karl Rove;

* And the White House for documents related to a federal contract given to a company that has been implicated in a bribery case.

“Via TPM, it seems Box Turtle Cornryn” –> Cornyn

I think Lam was the primary objective but they needed some smoke to cover it, and why not take the opportunity?

I had never thought of this, but it makes a lot of sense. It’s also possible that in designing the cover-up they were trying to make it resemble what Jack Welch used to tell his people to do at GE, always fire the bottom 10% of your employees every year.

I hope Gonzo resigns soon.
