This just keeps getting more like the Queen in Alice in Wonderland when she said, “Sentence first — verdict afterwards.”

“Two former U.S. attorneys said today they believe ongoing investigations into the dismissals last year of eight federal prosecutors could result in criminal charges against senior Justice Department officials.

John McKay, the former U.S. attorney for Western Washington, and David Iglesias, the former U.S. attorney for New Mexico, also said they believe White House political operative Karl Rove and his aides instigated the dismissals and ultimately decided who among the nation’s 93 U.S. attorneys should be fired. But the White House on Wednesday flatly denied the firings were instigated by the White House.

McKay and Iglesias, who were among those fired, made their assertions during a meeting this morning with Seattle Times editors and reporters. The two are scheduled to appear this afternoon along with Paul Charlton, the former U.S. attorney for Arizona, during a public-policy forum on the dismissals at Seattle University’s School of Law.

“I think there will be a criminal case that will come out of this,” McKay said during his meeting with Times journalists. “This is going to get worse, not better.”

McKay cited ongoing investigations into the dismissals by the Senate and House Judiciary committees, and inquiries now under way by the Justice Department’s inspector general and its Office of Professional Responsibility.

McKay said he believes obstruction-of-justice charges will be filed if investigators conclude that the dismissal of any of the eight prosecutors was motivated by an attempt to influence ongoing public-corruption or voter-fraud investigations.”

Of course not a shred of evidence exists for any of the above, except in the case of voter fraud where the evidence actually points to Iglesias NOT following up on clear cases of voter fraud in New Mexico. The more you hear from these eight the more you see why they were replaced. Their venom is completely compliant and in step with those democrats who question the firings. In fact I question whether or not they have been coached to an extent and perhaps that might be something that needs looking into.

Additionally the Seattle Times also errs by re-reporting factually inaccurate information about the circumstances behind Carol Lam’s dissmissal:

“Lam was investigating former U.S. Rep. Randy “Duke” Cunningham, R-Calif., and Kyle “Dusty” Foggo, the former third-highest-ranking CIA official, when senior Justice Department officials targeted her for dismissal. Bribery charges were ultimately filed against both men.”

Again, this is incorrect. Lam was listed to be removed long before Cunningham was revealed in the MSM. She had never heard of the man or his corruption before then. Lam was replaced for failing to enforce JD focuses on illegal immigration. In fact every US attorney released had in someway failed to perform according to the dictates of their employer and subsequently got the boot.
