Conyers: Investigate Bush Shutdown of 2002 Abramoff Case!

John Conyers in August asked for an investigation for possible Obstruction of Justice charges against Bush for abruptly ending an inquiry on Abramoff and Guam. Covered this in Bush Abruptly Ended Abramoff Investigation in 2002! Obstruction of Justice? (must-see!!), my diary yesterday.

August 23, 2005

Honorable Glenn A. Fine
Inspector General

United States Department

It was on November 19, 2002, that President Bush announced he was demoting U.S. Attorney Black. The federal grand jury took no further action in the Abramoff investigation.

The Los Angeles Times reports that an extensive effort by lobbyists connected to the Government of Guam is responsible for U.S. Attorney Black's demotion. In May 2003, U.S. Attorney Black was replaced by Leonardo Rapadas who had been recommended by the Republican Party of Guam. Fred Radewagen, a lobbyist, said he carried that recommendation to Karl Rove, White House Deputy Chief of Staff, in early 2003.
Sincerely,

John Conyers, Jr.
Member of Congress

is obstruct; justice being a handmaiden to republican dirty tricks

they were going to bring honor back to Washington. Ha!!

gets a K&R from me!

:kick:

... time to update my chart.

K&N

I am going to email it to the NYT and a few tv news hosts. Let's see if we can get someone interested.

every time an elected dem is asked a question on any subject, he/she should respond by asking when this obstruction of justice investigation will be reopened.

along with the theme of another thread recently, every dem should answer every question about what bushco says with "why should we believe him this time because...." and fill in the blank with previous bushco lies and deceptions.

Make it all about THEM all the time.

In May 2003 Black was succeeded by Leonardo Rapadas at the recommendation of the Guam Republican Party. He was confirmed without any debate. "Fred Radewagen, a lobbyist who had been under contract to the Gutierrez administration, said he carried that recommendation to top Bush aide Karl Rove in early 2003."
