Received an email with the following claims, checking them, so not at this time fully verified but here we go:

Much ado is being made about so-called “pressured” calls from republican lawmakers to some of the fired US attorneys, yet it’s been discovered that the very same thing took place on a reqular basis to the office of fired US Attorney Carol Lam’s office during the investigation of former Rep. Randy “Duke” Cunningham.

Many of the calls were referenced to “progress” and the “necessity” of “getting to the truth” . According to the email Former Lam office insiders say that calls were made both by the offices (or someone identifying themselves to be) of Senator Dianne Feinstein, and Senator Barbara Boxer, and inquired of updates and asked questions specific to resolution of the case which essentially wrapped up with Cunningham pleading out and accepting his fate. Whether or not they actually received any assistance isn’t known.

Again, I can’t verify, but I did speak with a local prosecutor today who told me that they routinely receive calls from politicians – more specifically their office – with inquiry into ongoing investigations.

Interesting to note that Feinstein was so appreciative of the quick resolution of Cunningham’s case that upon Lam’s departure she glowingly “rewarded” her for a job well done.

One might also wonder how the media so quickly knew about the FBI raid on Dusty Foggo almost while they still there.

Not that any of this makes a hill of beans on the so-called dumped prosecutor ‘scandal’. Again, it doesn’t matter if Gonzales didn’t like the length of Lam’s hair. A prosecutor can be fired for anything reason or no reason at all. But it would prove essentially interesting if this pans out. One early story I got via phone call with someone close to this story was that some of the firings had to do with the Prosecutors involved purposely leaking investigative progress to Democrats and the media – specifically in the leadup to the midterms – and that might have had a direct bearing on the dismissals.

As they say….Developing
