I, for one, have been waiting for the promised document dump all day. I heard it was going to consist of 400 emails. Now it is said that it will be 2000 emails. Two thousand emails on purging the prosecutors. Wow.
Some have suggested that these emails will be sanitized for their protection, but there are career guys at justice who want to have their careers long after the bushies are gone. I have confidence that they will make sure stuff shows up.
UPDATE:
I was just over at Balloon Juice and noticed an observation made by John Cole.
Document dumps like today’s emails will cause particular heartburn for the DOJ because the relevant actors didn’t even conspire to break a specific law. At least in that case they would know their own potential jeapordy. Instead Gonzales and his appointees merely acted as if the law (or at least the less obvious laws) didn’t exist. So in a sense it may be perfectly true that they have no real idea what kind of trouble they’re in.
Zifnab, one of the commenters noted:
So, if I’m to read this correctly, the DOJ doesn’t know the exact degree of shit their in because they are not familiar enough with the laws that they have broken.
There has to be a better word for this than Irony. Something more explose, the sort of phrase you’d see in a blockbuster movie title, that explains the hilaritude this encompasses.
Any ideas for a blockbuster movie title about this episode. Dreggas over at Cole's site suggested "Lie Hard." Somehow it just doesn't do this mess comic justice.
