"Turd Blossom" Knee Deep in Attorney Firings Scandal
Posted by Guest Blogger on June 13, 2007 at 4:25 AM

In the first exchange, Taylor writes to Kyle Sampson, Alberto Gonzales' former chief of staff, and suggests retribution against Cummins for speaking out about the reason for his firing:

I normally don't like attacking our friends, but since Bud Cummins is talking to everyone - why don't we tell the deal on him?

In another set of emails from Feb. 16, Taylor again writes Sampson, complaining about how Deputy Attorney General Paul McNulty and the Justice Department put Griffin in a "horrible position...hung to dry" by admitting that Cummins was pushed out specifically to make room for an ally of Rove. "his is not good for long-term career," Taylor writes.

In a third set of emails, Scott Jennings writes to Taylor and former Gonzales counsel Monica Goodling, suggesting the Justice Department remove a line from a press release implying that the administration would work to find another U.S. Attorney if Arkansas' senators did not approve of Griffin.

The messages from Taylor and Jennings to the Justice officials are sent from their Republican National Committee email accounts. They provide new evidence that senior White House officials were intimately involved in the attorney scandal, and that the White House was still interested in installing Griffin as U.S. Attorney even after the controversy over the firings had become public.

1. and yet he still walks free

2. He's more than teflon. The man is made out of some substance where

every scandal sticks to him, and he still walks around unimpeded.

This has more to say about our checks and balances. America's checks and balances do not work.

3. he was not involved, at all, in the Valerie Plame matter (so says McButterpants)
