THIS is why they're stalling on the emails

with what's come out already, from documents that have no doubt ALREADY been "sanitized," can you IMAGINE what's left to be uncovered...? these people are so-o-oo-o-o-ooo SCREWED... (and it couldn't happen to a nicer bunch...!)

from today's document dump...

The Justice Department identified five Bush administration insiders as replacement U.S. attorneys almost a year before most of the prosecutors were fired, contrary to repeated claims that no such list had ever been drawn up, according to documents released today.

E-mails sent to the White House in January and May of 2006 by D. Kyle Sampson, then chief of staff to Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales, list potential replacements for U.S. attorneys in San Diego, San Francisco, Grand Rapids, Mich., and Little Rock, Ark.

The replacements on the list were all high-level administration insiders, including two who have gone on to different U.S. attorney postings: Jeff Taylor, now chief prosecutor in the District, and Deborah Rhodes, now U.S. attorney in Alabama. The others were Rachel L. Brand, currently head of the Office of Legal Counsel, and Daniel Levin, a former senior Justice and White House official, the memos show.

Justice officials have previously said that only Tim Griffin, currently acting U.S. attorney in Little Rock, was specifically identified as a replacement candidate for one of the fired prosecutors.

the plan was to place these folks in vacancies that had been CREATED for them to fill... in order to create the vacancies, some reasons had to be cooked up as to why the incumbents were being given the boot... it's so patently obvious...
