New Evidence that Administration Withheld Emails About Rove

A new twist in the lost email/purged attorneys scandal.

Murray Waas reports that the "Bush administration has withheld a series of e-mails from Congress showing that senior White House and Justice Department officials worked together to conceal the role of Karl Rove in installing Timothy Griffin, a protégé of Rove's, as U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Arkansas."

Specifically, the emails -- which Waas saw courtesy of a mutinous "executive branch official" -- show that Alberto Gonzales' then-chief-of-staff Kyle Sampson consulted with the White House when drafting a letter to Congress explaining what Karl Rove did and did not know about the installation of Griffin (intro to Griffin here).

Of course, Sampson told Congress Rove wasn't involved, which he was. The executive branch official who showed the withheld emails to Waas also told Waas that Gonzales not only knows about them, but has reviewed them all, and has elected to stay silent on the point.

I suspect that the average man on the street long ago lost track of every detail of the U.S. Attorneys scandal, and every different bit of foul play over at Justice. But things are getting so complicated, with so many moving parts, that pretty soon journalists, bloggers, and government officials are also going to lose track.

Maybe that's part of some exceptionally smart and exceptionally devious plan. But in my eyes, when the federal department you oversee is so poorly run, so wracked with scandal, and so thoroughly politicized that it's making everyone's head spin -- it's probably time to, you know, resign.

There is no doubt that Karl Rove is for all purposes the real Attorney General of the United States and American Beria of the new NKVD, of his Soviet America..as Prof. Johnathon Turley also described that being party over country..

The point being that we must see the totality of the criminality of The Bush Mafia Unitary Dictatorship..

In the totality of The Bush Mafia these emails are small potatoes, Bush and his FDA has killed more Americans than al-Qaeda or bin-Laden by many times and also distributed, no proliferated a new deadly drug epidemic now being reported again with the Purdue Pharma fine of $600.00..

The FDA Vioxx, Coxx inhibitor scam killed over 10,000 Americans and caused 100,000 to have heart attacks, the FDA approved Oxycotin and it's being highly addictive has been known for years, so Bush and the FDa are just lying cheap drug dealers just as Ronald Reagan and Bill Casey were also as is record..

Do you think all the opium in Afghanistan is going only to the Taliban come on wise up as if we can't find poppy fields with all the air craft and trucks and Hummvee's over there..

The deaths from drug over doses was already reported to be way up and it's these new FDA approved addictive drugs all of them that are the reason..they are all opium based..FDA approved..

Now today the head of the FDA also lied about China allowing poison in our food supply chicken, Hogs, and Fish even, and this was a direct lie caught on tape about the lives of Americans, that The FDA has already murdered thousands of us already..

Then there's Katrina and the lie that $100 billion was sent to aid our suffering fellow Americans it was not only
$25 billion even The Wall St. Journal admits and decries this how many died in Katrina..?

Bush's first words flying over Katrina in Air Force 1, were for the Insurance companies as Americans drowned in their attics he spoke only of the Insurance companies..the same callous negligent homicide as with his FDA..

Yes Bush and Rove and Gonzales have corrupted and ruined The Justice dept. and FEMA and so many other agencies and they are pathological liars as is Condi Rice as well..QED..

But Bush is killing us not just our troops as well but killing American civilians and he and his FDA and his incompetence and policies have killed more Americans than al-Qaeda by far Bush has killed more Americans than bin-Laden and the FDA more than al-Qaeda and Congress and Nancy Pelosi do not care..

Charlie Rangel Hillary's lap dog proved that tonight with the Trade deal sell out..

The Democrats are letting Bush and The Republicans and the FDA kill us, and they want our votes these lying murdering bastards..!
