U.S. Attorney Update: Domenici Lawyers Up

domenici.jpgIn a move that suggests he's feeling the heat, New Mexico Republican Pete Domenici hired a high-powered lawyer today. Fired attorney David Iglesias said Domenici's chief of staff called him just weeks before the November election and pressured him to be more aggressive in his ethics probe of a Democrat. The senator himself took the phone at one point and asked if Iglesias would produce indictments before the election. (For a full report on yesterday's congressional testimony, click here.)

I'm not sure if it's more comical or terrifying, but Domenici has hired the lawyer who represented Randy "Duke" Cunningham, the former Republican congressman who was found guilty on ethics charges brought by U.S. attorney Carol S. Lam—who was fired shortly thereafter. Comical because Cunningham is in jail; terrifying because the Republican wagons are circled pretty tight and they don't fight fair.

Good point Cameron, they do not in any way know anything about fighting fair, criminals never do. They are all back alley fighters and the rethugs are really getting scared. Their house of cards is falling apart.

I forgot to add; it is interesating to note that these attorneys being fired are all from different areas of the US. So what does that tell me. It tells me their is a Republican CONSPIRACY taking place and by that little toad, Gonzales, and probably instigated by Karl Rove or his sidekick Dick Morris.

And they keep saying there is no conspiracy.The repub party is full of conspirators. The SCOTUS is a conspiracy of catholics. The radical right wing religious is composed of a conspiracy of two religions, the SBC and the Catholics, my religion not including me. The entire repub party is one big frickin' CONSPIRACY to end democracy. Karl Rove, himself, said so. He said we will destroy the democratic party or we will abolish the democratic party and did he say they would do it by 2020. But how could that be because the end times rapture is supposed to happen on Dec 12,2012. Something is amiss Karl old boy.
PRAY FOR PEACE
