Senator Leahy: While all y'all are lookin into DOJ abuses...
First, let me point out that many of the USAs fired were working corruption investigations and the pattern goes back at least to Abramoff being protected in Guam. Frankly, I'm more concerned about USAs that played along and did the Executives bidding than I'm outraged by these obstructive dismissals.

How about you turn the dial on the wayback machine (see Mr Peabody to learn how) and hear from abuses early on. This rises into the Executive offices and has for a long time.

Ask Sibel to come talk about her gag order and the shield of classification being used openly and vigorously to obstruct investigations that should be occurring.

Then ask ol Fitz if he might have any insight. Better yet, ask him to look into it, it's all the same can of worms, but ask him not to piss around with obstructionists.

If it was democratic strategery that confirmed this bastard to allow him to hang the administration, I got to hand it to you then, that took balls. I was screaming for the filibuster and spending some O' that there dry powder.

Oh, and all those little fibs during the confirmation hearings? They're felonies, ya know?

2. OMG the truth tellers have been repressed for so long.
It's exhausting yet we can't lose hope really.

May our democracy manifest with the brilliance it was initially intended.
