Perversion of Justice
The hits just keep on coming… One thing (there are so many…) that these fools were and are just too dumb to learn is that the truth eventually finds its way out into the light of day.
Ideology-Based Hiring at Justice Broke Laws, Investigation Finds (Washington Post, June 25, 2008)
Read it for yourself, it is enlightening reading. Here is the link to the actual report issued by the U.S. Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General and Office of Professional Responsibility:
An Investigation of Allegations of Politicized Hiring in the Department of Justice Honors Program and Summer Law Intern Program (PDF) (June 24, 2008)
Under Attorneys General Ashcroft and Gonzales, applicants with superior qualifications were passed over in favor of those who were far less qualified but who could be counted on to be so grateful to have a job that they would carry out the warped policies and missions of the new, ”improved” cheneybush compliant Justice Department.
Laws were broken, once again. This is an ongoing thread running through the cheneybush years - flagrant criminality in all agencies coupled with the removal of qualified US attorneys, and the installation of incompetent political hacks who are so unqualified (”Heckuva job, Brownie!”) as to present substantial threats to public safety and rule of law. In the case of the fired US attorneys, their apparent sins were that they were unwilling to overlook the rampant criminal behavior throughout the cheneybush administration and instead sought to enforce the laws of the land, and to uphold and defend the Constitution. In other words, they could not be counted on to be “loyal soldiers” in the ongoing cheneybush assault on the Constitution and the rule of law. They were unwilling to sign on to the cheneybush mantra: “if the president does or condones it, it is legal…”
In the case of this latest scandal coming to light in the Justice Department under dumb and dumber Attorneys General, this ensured that honest and competent staff were replaced with those who can at best charitably be considered too dumb to realize they were being used as pawns to carry out the goals of the criminal conspiracy that is the underlying theme of the cheneybush administration.
Note as a prime example of the “new and improved” hiring practices, the bottom-of-the-heap “law school” at televangelist Pat Robertson’s Regent University, founded by Robertson to provide “Christian leadership to change the world,” became a prime source for compliant underqualified staff.
