U.S. Attorney Fired After Failing to Indict ACORN for Voter Fraud
There are new developments in the scandal over the Bush administration's firing of eight U.S. Attorneys. One of the dismissed prosecutors has revealed that he was pressured by Republican officials to target the advocacy group ACORN for voter fraud. ACORN was working on a voter registration drive in low-income and largely minority neighborhoods in New Mexico. David Iglesias told Newsweek that he found no case worth bringing against ACORN. But that apparently did not please the White House. Last week Attorney General Alberto Gonzales" ex-chief of staff D. Kyle Sampson testified that during the run-up to the mid-term election White House adviser Karl Rove complained that Iglesias and two other U.S. Attorneys had not done enough to prosecute so-called voter fraud.

I agree they are avoiding connecting those dots. But Leahy and Conyers will and if they find enough evidence then they will go for the jugular. Look at Waxman go! They are freaking out on the repub side!

I do not think dots will be connected. My district very Republican representative had an article in our Newspaper that Gonzales needs to go. I fell over and then realized if even Lee Terry of Nebraska is saying it.....!
