I so hope that there are traceable items right back to the DNC!

The dismissal wasn’t in the “interest of justice” as Holder stated, but because they wanted to sweep this under the rug.

I’m no fan of Stevens, but the whole investigation sure benefited the Dems. The GOP ought to target Beigch hard in 2014. Perhaps conservatives should settle on this long term plan. Have Palin reclaim the Stevens’s Senate seat in 2014. The GOP retakes a Senate seat, and Palin could thumb her nose at the moonbats who have a pathological hatred of her. And in 2016, we run the ticket of Sanford / Jindal to clean up the Marxist mess by the Messiah. This way everyone wins.

Are you already conceding 2012? Sure, Barry's got a 60% approval rating 42 months before the election. But GHWB had a nearly 92% approval rating just 22 months before the election, and look how that turned out.

Yes I do see 2012 as a lost cause. The Messiah loses in 2012 only if inflation and taxes rise, and unemployment is in the double digits. Also by 2012 we may be in an economic recovery. The media will spin any economic news as proof of the Messiah ability to heal the world. The negative aspects of the Messiah’s policies probably won’t take effect until his 2nd term.

Thefore I sugguest we pull the sacfricial lambs of either:

1) Jon Huntsman

2) Mitt Romney

3) Mike Huckabee

4) Newt

"Also by 2012 we may be in an economic recovery.

We could also be in a garden variety depression. I'm as pessimistic as anybody about the GOP in the near-term. But, as I said, anything can happen in 48 months - anything. The economy wasn't even a real issue until 6 months before this past election.

I'd say that this recession truly isn't like any others before it, if only for one reason - never before has the world's economy, and our economy been as inter-dependent has it is today. While economist may predict an end to the recession sometime late this year, in all practical reality, they're just taking a somewhat education wild-a$$ guess. This could be a horrible downturn that will last years, not months.

Have they asked for all their emails and coorespondences with Dem law makers?

The economy wasn't even a real issue until 6 months before this past election.

While the economy was a house of cards, it was not the problem it is until the meltdown was announced on TV and the MSM made it a campaign issue. They blew the horn of doom and despair continuously and did the classic "Bush's fault" gambit through the election to justify the looting of taxpayers and election of Democrats, many of whom created the problem.

Now they are blowing the trumpet of recovery, but things are not rebounding as strongly as they tanked, and we are trillions poorer. They will spin the situation as they spin it, but iirc, we are seeing the greatest pump-and-dump ever pulled.

In addition, "economic recovery" has turned out to be the stalking horse for socialist programs which would never have passed otherwise. We have gone from the "New Deal" to the "Raw Deal" and the media helped make it happen.

Ha! I’ll just have to claim temporary insanity on that one. I guess I confused your name with someone else with whom I’d had a previous legal discussion.

Here's the reasoning from NRO.

Actually, that's the reasoning from Andrew McCarthy, who has been a consistent apologist for the DOJ and overzealous attorneys in the DOJ.

The judge had already found the attorney's in contempt a month or two ago and postponed "punishment" until the end of the trial. Judge Sullivan certainly has the authority and the responsibility for following through on that.

Judge Emmett Sullivan is the most respected jurist in D.C., and possibly the country.

That he is so outraged by this prosecution is what makes the accusations against prosecutors so newsworthy.

He should be applauded for his efforts in this case, not demeaned.
