Would one of you please answer this question: Even if Karl Rove dictated the entire list, and said “fire this guy” “Keep that guy”; if there was no investigation obstructed by that, what would be illegal, immoral or unethical about it? This investigation has never made sense to me.

I told you this yesterday, and obviously you didn’t bother to read my reply.

MOST of the USAs who were fired were in the middle of cases that would have led to prosecution of Republican candidates for corruption.

At best this is suspicious, at worst it’s obstruction of justtice. If Rove or anyone in the White House was doing this to help GOP candidates win in their states/districts, it’s corruption pure and simple.

Doesn’t it bother you that the most powerful arm of the US government was more concerned with the political background of the folks they were pursuing, rather than pursuing criminals no matter which party they belong to?

Big ‘if’ there: it looks as though in the Lam case at least there’s prima facie evidence of obstruction.

Perhaps you disagree
