[wakeme2008]

2. Drugs or Porn is my guest

:shrug:

[Jed Dilligan]

25. Well, they can be my "guest" too

[Connie_Corleone]

3. Who is David Smith?

[Subdivisions]

7. Refer back to edited OP :)

[babylonsister]

8. Here (Halliburton whistleblower):

[babylonsister]

4. Let me guess - no rethugs will be involved. nt

[seabeyond]

5. if it is the att gen it is a dem they are after n/t

[Subdivisions]

19. Actually, there's no telling what it is now that I think about it. You see,

we're all on edge (those of us who are familiar with DUer CorpGovActivist), waiting for breaking news on indictments, etc. But this could actually end up being almost anything.

I have a feeling I may have jumped the gun because it occurs to me now that Gonzales would probably NOT be the one to announce the indictments/investigations I'm referring to. In fact, he would more likely be a target.

[seabeyond]

23. exactly. he lets bush breaking of law go all the time. even endorses

he EVEN tells bush breaking the law is legal...... for bush

[Subdivisions]

32. self delete...posted wrong place

[wakeme2008]

6. This from CNN

A southwest Virginia county sheriff and 12 employees have been indicted on charges in a drug-related racketeering case.

banner now...

[blitzen]

10. Repug sheriff?

[wakeme2008]

12. Story here

http://www.roanoke.com/news/breaking/wb/89733

[Wickerman]

15. hooo-boy, here's our November surprise

450 billion or whatever spent on the War and Terra and today's headline is gonna read, "Republicans Tough on Crime - County Sheriff held in pot bust, Gonzalez puffs chest!"

:sarcasm:

[Warpy]

28. Gee, recycling drugs and cash from seizures

The drug world has ensnared yet another honest John police department by dangling riches before them.

The holy drug war must be fought, no matter what it costs, to save our precious white suburban baybees from demon pot.

And yes, I'm a sarcastic old bat.

[lpbk2713]

9. Diebold investigation?

Naw. That'll never happen.

Not for about two more years anyhow.

[tanyev]

11. Denny Hastert and his suitcases of cash?

*fingers crossed*

[Beelzebud]

13. Probably busted some college kids with warez.

[Sugarcoated]

14. Wild guess on my part

but maybe the Rep. Harmon/leak investigation?

[patcox2]

16. My guess: Menendez.

That would be typical.

[Norquist Nemesis]

22. Or whats his name in Louisiana

(can't recall his name at the moment and too lazy to look it up)

[enfield collector]

35. Rep William Jefferson. n/t

[Norquist Nemesis]

36. That's it! Thanks! n/t

[Subdivisions]

27. I think they'll get what they want with Harold Ford almost a

certainty to lose now that he has fallen to a two-digit deficit in the polls versus Corker.

They would only be breaking a 50/50 Senate tie if they called out Menendez. I really don't think there's much more to the Menendez thing that what we already know.

But who know's for sure what tree they're barking up?

[eShirl]

17. odd timing, wouldn't you say?

or very convenient timing perhaps

[AIJ Alom]

18. Operation Falcon III. They already mentioned it on their page.

Caught about 11,000 fugitives. Could job Gonzo, now if you would only investigate the Republican party.

http://www.cnn.com/2006/LAW/11/02/fugitive.roundup.ap/index.html
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Nearly 11,000 fugitives, including sex offenders, gang members and others wanted on a variety of charges from kidnapping to weapons offenses, were swept up last week in a 24-state operation, the Justice Department was to announce Thursday.

[magellan]

30. Yeah, it's a "tough on crime" elections gimmick

"The October 22-28 roundup snared more fugitives than similar operations in April 2005 and April 2006, the Justice Department said."

Convenient timing, non?

[hippiechick]

31. Shit, they could catch that many at a Cheney fundraising event!

... sex offenders, gang members and others wanted on a variety of charges from kidnapping to weapons offenses ...


Sounds like the standard big-pocketed GOP donors to me!!!

[Marie26]

20. But would Gonzales trumpet

something like that, that ties so directly to the Bush Administration? I bet it's probably a predator arrest, fake terrorist plot, etc.

[Marie26]

21. ...

[spanone]

24. You can bet he won't go after a rethug just prior to election.

[Union Thug]

26. ACCCKKKK..NOVEMBER SURPRISE!!!!!! n/t :-)

[Marr]

29. It'll be internet child porn related.

And of course, only made possible by their sweeping new powers of surveillance.

[Subdivisions]

33. Ok, it's a federal fugitive roundup of mainly sexual predators...

Operation Falcon.

Man...I'm all worked-up about the "Haligate" (just made that up!) indictments that, according to DUer CorpGovActivist, is coming soon...as early as this week.

[Norquist Nemesis]

34. Wild speculations

1) NYT editors indicted for revealing classified information and endangering national security

2) Democratic staffer of Nancy Pelosi indicted for leaking classified information and endangering national security

3) Osama bin Laden formally charged/indicted; extradition papers with Pakistan signed after skillful diplomatic negotiations through the strong leadership of President Bush in his never ending fight for the safety and security of Americans. Oh, and OBL's on an airplane as we speak!

[blitzen]

37. no need to speculate...the story's already out

it's a SW Virginia sheriff...

Not much of a story, politically speaking

[CorpGovActivist]

38. Get the Bail Money Ready!
