thinkprogress.org — In a speech today before the American Bar Association (ABA), Mukasey was more explicit in his rejection of any sort of review or prosecution, saying that the “negative publicity” the people who politicizing the Justice Department’s internship and Honors programs faced was enough

    Thank you Chuck Shumer and DIFi! You ***** helped put this puppet in power!
  • mr0nine2five, on 08/12/2008, -0/+8Damn, I need "Digg Friends." And probably needed to reword the title for my own submission of this story.

    From the update: "Michael Mukasey explains that just because his predecessors in the Justice Department were breaking the law with their hiring processes doesn’t mean anyone should be held accountable: 'not every wrong, or even every violation of the law, is a crime.'"

    Man, I wish WE could use that defense, but no....

    PLEASE ELABORATE GOOD SIR! I am interested in knowing which violations of the law I can partake of and not have it be considered a crime!

    Sounds a little like "If the president does it, it’s not illegal." Nixon would be proud.
  • inactive, on 08/13/2008, -0/+2We shouldn't let Mookie get off with just "negative publicity". A few decades in prison with the rest of the crime family would be more appropriate.

  • inactive, on 08/13/2008, -1/+2Because that would be accountability or taking responsibility, and the Bush administration is deathly allergic to honor and integrity.
