As the DA purge investigations continue, it's clear that the Administration was playing the the same crude and blatant politicization game with the Department of Justice as with every other person, place or thing they've had occasion to interact with.
One thing that you can say about that group of thugs and cavemen is that--- with the exception of the wily Rove, who layers a thin veneer of slickery, gotcha-proof, slime on top of his thuggery --- they aren't hard to read.
Their mandate was pretty clear to the DAs: Help get Republicans elected. Try to find (non-existent) voter fraud cases. Indict Democrats. And above all, stop investigating Republicans.
By firing the 8 DA's who, in the words of their own emails, weren't being "loyal Bushies," and accelerating or decelerating investigations at GOP command, they have more or less tipped off anyone of a suspicious mindset that the other 85 DA's were. Being loyal Bushies that is. And, on a side note, as of March 19th, 2007 I can't think of a more embarrassing label than that.
I'm rubbing my hands together waiting for the parties stung in the process --- like Dems who were unfairly singled out for investigations and intimidation, and prosecutors who had clear-cut corruption investigations against Repubs terminated --- to jump on the bandwagon and start telling their stories.
I'm betting that there is plenty of that particular kind of shit for us to push Republican noses into, while telling them that they are "Bad Americans! Bad!" before sending them out of the house, so they never get a chance to shit on the American carpet again.
