U.S. Attorney Update

Letter to Karl Rovecomplaining that US Attorney David Iglesias was “missing in action” during the 2002 and 2004 elections (see pic below), and Harriet Miers fingers Karl Rove calling for his dismissal for explicitly political reasons:

The House panel focused most of its attention on Iglesias, a rising star in New Mexico who came to displease his political patrons. Miers told investigators that Rove called her in September 2006, “agitated” about the slow pace of public corruption cases against Democrats and weak efforts to pursue voter-fraud cases in the state. In the call, Miers said, Rove described Iglesias as a “serious problem” and said he wanted “something done” about it. Miers testified that she called then-Deputy Attorney General Paul J. McNulty to pass along the concerns.

But when you see clear evidence of corruption and a deliberate attempt to undermine the role of the Department of Justice as a non-political enforcer of laws, what do we get from Obama and Holder? Crickets.

We need a special prosecutor. Because until people are prosecuted for crap like this, it will continue.
