SACRAMENTO - Now that state lawmakers have wrapped up their two-month examination of the Oracle software deal, Attorney General Bill Lockyer is ramping up his criminal investigation of the scandal.

Lawyers with the state Department of Justice have begun to set up meetings with key figures involved with the disputed contract, to pore over thousands of pages of testimony and to piece together evidence they have been gathering over the last few weeks.

Now that state lawmakers have wrapped up their two-month examination of the Oracle software deal, Attorney General Bill Lockyer is ramping up his criminal investigation of the scandal. (yeah sure!)

This set the stage for probably the funniest comment of the week/month/year from the SSer posing as a real AG:

``At this stage, no particular significance or negative connotation should be attached to the decision by my office to seek information or assistance from anyone in connection with the Oracle matter, and we have received very good cooperation with our investigation from state government employees and officials,'' Lockyer said.

If anyone believes that a real investigation will be done by the SS Criminal Lockyer, I have a few thousand acres of North Bay swamp land to sell you to build homes on.

Yes, where Lockyer buries this case, the sun has not shown there for millions of years.

Wonder how they will try to blame this on to GW, Cheney and Enron or big oil?

The good news every strategy session they hold to protect their butts is less time and energy they have for the election. This is the real impact of these daily disclosures.

This is great!:
