Bush Removed Abramoff Prosecutor- TWICE!
Twice now, Bush has removed the prosecutor in the Abramoff case. Twice!
From the LA Times, Aug 8, 2005 via Bellaciao:
WASHINGTON — A US grand jury in Guam opened an investigation of controversial lobbyist Jack Abramoff more than two years ago, but President Bush removed the supervising federal prosecutor, and the probe ended soon after.
The investigation into Jack Abramoff, the disgraced Republican lobbyist, took a provocative new turn Thursday when the Justice Department said the chief prosecutor in the inquiry would step down next week because he had been nominated to a federal judgeship by President Bush.
How can Bush remove Abramoff’s prosecutor twice and get away with it?
I’m utterly speechless. Do I need to explain this… ? I mean, why isn’t this a major scandal that every politician and news network isn’t breaking. This is 24/7 headline news… but the corporate media buries it, while calling bloggers ‘irresponsible’.
What could be worse… how bout this? Bush says he doesn’t really know Abramoff, but in May 2001, Abramoff charged his clients, the Coushatta Tribe, $25,000 to have lunch with Bush, The Texas Observer even has a copy of the check. This arrangement would make Abramoff the pimp, and Bush the whore. To me it is unbelievable that the President of the US would do this, to make his buddy rich. Why wouldn’t he just have lunch with the tribe because he’s the President and he cares!
How can I possibly hope to win without getting monetary donations?
