I hold it true, whate'er befall;
I feel it, when I sorrow most;
'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all.

Is there a specific need for all the dashes??

Why not just a couple of carriage returns and put your link??

Why?

What do you think they've done wrong in this case?

Do you want to have an ideagasm?

My read of it is that the top of your investigation & prosecution system will resign if The FBI doesn't get to use the evidence they seized when they searched the office of a crook Congressman.

The politicians don't like the idea of being searched, and if it turns out that they can be searched, then they're going to stop playing.

I wonder WHY the politicians get so upset at the prospect of being investigated under the same rules as the people they govern!? If it's a purely criminal investigation then they shouldn't have anything to fear. Should they?

Jefferson was caught fair and square in a criminal act. Now he's trying to pervert a law designed to protect him from political persecution to save him from a criminal prosecution! It's interesting to see who's supporting him, and from there... WHY!

Although I don't particularly like Gonzales (due mainly to his crypto-fascist attitudes about potentially prosecuting reporters for publishing information leaked to them by whistleblowers in government -- [Anvil, I enjoyed our debate over that ] ), this is entirely different. As I said in the other thread, a Congressman - and his office space - are not above the law. The search warrant was supported by a 95 page long affidavit of probable cause, and was vetted by a federal judge before that judge signed it. I think if I was Attorney General I might threaten to resign under similar circumstances. Oh, I'd love to see Gonzales out, mostly because I think he's such a poster child for all the threats to civil liberties that have reared their ugly heads during this Administration - but not this way, over this issue.
There are times when the Justice Department, the Attorney General and the FBI are supposed to be good, diligent cops. This time, I think maybe they were.

Mate, its not mine.

I totally agree with your analysis, I'm wondering why the OP thinks the Attorney General and FBI director should quit?

Basically, because he (Gonzales) is an asshole. Or at least is a threat to civil liberties. See my previous post.
