Things That Make Ya Go Hmm... Justice Dept. Opening May Be Significant !!!

OK... it's UPI, But...

<snip>

Deputy Attorney General James Comey's move to Lockheed Martin this week leaves a void in who will officially oversee the CIA leak case.

Independent Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald -- who has been investigating the leak of the name of CIA agent Valerie Plame -- had reported to Comey because Attorney General Albert Gonzales was recused from the case. As the case nears conclusion, Comey's replacement could be an important decision.

Comey had granted Fitzgerald virtual carte blanche to conduct the investigation.

Newsweek reports Associate Attorney General Robert McCallum is likely to fill in for Comey. McCallum is a close friend and Skull and Bones brother of President George W. Bush from their days as students at Yale.

1. Oh, yes.

I'll bet you it happens.

Fitzgerald's indictments quashed.

And my fundie relatives will go blissfully forward seeing their leader, Dubya, and his staff, as true heros.

2. Something's going on with this, too many rumors. It'll be interesting

to see what actually happens. Not coincidental to me that a key figure in the case is leaving just as things heat up. They must've given him some offer. Whoever they put in will probably either tamper with the evidence or leak info back to Bushco--if they don't totally replace Fitzgerald.

3. Or maybe

They threatened him with an offer he couldn't refuse?

4. This is from John Conyers Blog today on this

"Also, I have also read the Newsweek piece on Fitzgerald's supervisor being replaced by a Yale crony of Bush's. This is also of concern, and I will be looking into issues of oversight and recusal concerning Robert McCallum" - John Conyers

5. This sounds like a round about way to pull off

another "Saturday Night Massacre" a la Watergate.

7. That's What Flashed Through My Mind Too !!!

Could be their undoing if they try... just like last time.
