The McCain/Bush Corruption Cover-Up

................

When the Washington Post started their Abramoff coverage in early 2004, a window on this massive criminal conspiracy was opened. It had to be managed. It had to be contained.

Fortunately, George W. Bush could count on John McCain.

.............

McCain actively controlled the story and he put the investigation into slow motion. He ensured that it was a not a factor in the 2004 election. Then he ensured that voters would not know about how closely Abramoff, Rove and Bush worked together. The work of McCain limited the damage the Abramoff scandal had on the GOP in the 2006 election.

He also has suppressed a literal mountain of evidence—over 750,000 pages of documents related to Jack Abramoff, his work and his connections in and out of government.

Only about 8,000 pages of these documents have been released. Here is a snapshot:

The Bush/McCain cover-up was leaking.

They needed team players in the Justice Department to slow down the wheels of justice. They needed loyal Bushies to stand in the gap and protect the Party.

They found them.

That is what is at the heart of the firings the US Attorneys—an effort to obstruct justice.

Some players are already known like Monica Goodling and some like Robert E. Coughlin are just starting to be exposed for their crimes.

It is not a coincidence that moves by Alberto Gonzales and the Bush White House have had the effect of slow-walking dozens of investigations—after all they have thousands of crimes to cover-up. If they can run out the clock, the crimes will become like the crimes they committed in the 1990s and in the 2000 election. They will move pass legal jeopardy. If they can keep the lid on it, the cover-up just might work.

3. At least Robert Johnson received a great talent to play the blues when he sold his soul to the devil

McCain just turned himself into bitter has-been.

Coincidentally, a Google image search says it came from Freeperville. (Might be a family photo.)

6. Bryce Dorgan, D-North Dakota, is the Senate Chair of Indian Affairs,

having replaced John McCain.

As the OP says, the 750,000 pages should be released, and he's the one to make that decision.

Anyone know anything about him?
