Colm Connolly On Bogus DOJ “Firing List” Is it an effort to raise a smokescreen to the Congressional investigators.

Why would an AUSA be on a “fire-list” when they actually went AFTER Democratic candidates up for re-election? And then get appointed to a Federal Judgeship? It couldn’t be for incompetance…by putting him on the list it would suggest that the fired AUSA’s were not the only ones listed…and the others had actually gone “after” Democrats (except it was a ploy).

Then there is the Mitt Romney Corruption Case that Connolly refused to investigate…but that it turns out that he had financial links to himself. No appointment of an independent AUSA to look into it…he just buried it.

Several of the individuals were running for office when the charges came down. Because all the judges in Delaware were associated with those listed in the indictment, they were asked to recuse themselves. The judge assigned in Philadelphia began to question the viability of many of the charges, which led to Connolly attempting to get him recused for “bias”.

Ultimately all the charges, except one, were thrown out by the judge as frivolous and based on weak evidence (although they are still under appeal by the gov’t, though not by Connolly or Stark, who have since been appointed to the Federal Judiciary). The one charge that stuck related to a large loan made by a millionairess to one of the defendents, Sherry Freebery, for a home. The loan was disclosed on reporting documents but one one document the description differed. The judge ultimately placed the defendant on probation and fined her $350. She also has to find the money to pay almost $2 million for her legal costs.

So the Feds likely also expended many millions…and all they got was some Democrats voted out of office because of the ill-founded taint of corruption, and a $350 fine. Oh, that and a bunch of Republicans that got elected, and two Bush-appointed US Attorneys appointed to Federal Judgeships. I guess that was a good return on the tax-payers money. ;-(

If the prosecutors sound like they were involved in selective assaults to influence elections by initiating these bogus prosecutions…then this should also sound familiar. Leonard Stark was appointed the point-man to make sure that the elections were on the up-and-up in Delaware. Hmmmm!

Oh, and two more interesting things. Colm Connolly apparently refused to prosecute several corruption cases that relate to Mitt Romney, and Connolly ended up in some of the DOJ emails, apparently put on a list of prospective (but not actual) individuals to be fired for “errors”. But the odd thing is that this list was only developed after the scandal regarding the DOF US Attorney firings emerged. It thus seems likely that Connolly and the others were used to obscure the nature of the earlier firings. After all, if Connolly was so horrid, why appoint him to a plum Federal judgeship???

Yes, Much better- but you must whip them till they MOAN!

LOL. You’ve written menus for which restaurant?

Hey I’ve got a “ricer”. Think I’ll use it today. Thanks for the reminder. I’m in charge of stuffing and burning the bird and whipping holy hell out of the potatoes.

A trick I picked up this year.if you are going to stuff the turkey..heat the stuffing in the microwave to 120-130 degrees first the stuff..it helps to avoid the problem of room temp stuffing incubating for hours inside the turkey and helps to avoid burning the outside while trying to get the inside up to temp…gradients delta T and all of that stuff….

“The more you dig into this crap, the more you realize that it is a manure pile without end.”

This is sooooo on point for literally countless of situations over the past seven years.

I mean, we’re so far beyond what brought Nixon down it’s ridiculous. Why are we forced to put up with these crooks and liars? (with apologies to that fine website.)

Whip your potatoes unmercifully until they surrender—add sour cream and at least a cube of butter-they should become quite thin during the punishment- but relax- they’ll thicken up a bit as they cool.

Shouldn’t it be, “…they relax and thicken during afterglow” ?
