DOJ's Political Motivation Ruins Prosecutions

As if we didn't know this was coming:

Defense lawyers in a growing number of cases are raising questions about the motives of government lawyers who have brought charges against their clients. In court papers, they are citing the furor over the U.S. attorney dismissals as evidence that their cases may have been infected by politics.

Justice officials say those concerns are unfounded and constitute desperate measures by desperate defendants. But the affair has given defendants and their lawyers some new energy, which is complicating life for the prosecutors. […]

There has long been a presumption that, because they represented the Justice Department, prosecutors had no political agenda and their word could be trusted. But some legal experts say the controversy threatens to undermine their credibility.

This is why Justice must be blind. When the White House starts interferring with prosecutors, the entire system is called into question.

Secret Service gets Owned

Check this out! The adoring crowds in Albania just love George W. Bush soooo much!



In fact, they love him so much that around the 1:00 mark (or 3:15 remaining), someone steals his watch! Haha!

This whole appearance strikes me as a high risk situation. President Bush had a freaking grenade thrown at him in Georgia back in 2005, and here he is having his flesh pressed so enthusiastically that he doesn't notice being robbed. I'm hope they were well screened.
