Justice official resigns; Top House Democrat says 'wheels coming off' Bush defense of US attorney fi

The sudden resignation of a top government official involved in the sacking of US attorneys has raised eyebrows in Congress. The chairperson of a congressional subcommittee investigating the situation said that the official's sudden exit from government service showed that "the wheels seem to be coming off" the administration's defense of its actions.

"The wheels seem to be coming off the Bush Administration's increasingly hollow defense of its decision to fire eight U.S. Attorneys," said Rep. Linda Sánchez (D-CA), the Chairwoman of the House Judiciary Committee's Subcommittee on Commercial and Administrative Law.

She added, "The Administration's explanation of Mr. Battle's apparent resignation is as murky as everything else they have told us about this case."

The Judiciary Committee's Chairman, Rep. John Conyers (D-MI) added, "Battle's resignation raises even more questions about the growing fallout from the firing of the U.S. Attorneys."

is wobbling rather badly now, don't you think? What other idiocy will they be caught doing that will result in its collapse?

before our eyes.

I want to know - who the hell keeps putting them back on?

The 'wheels' have been coming off for the last 3 years but there appears to be no crash/stopping involved.

the show is starting to get good too.

And no one else. That's the only reason none of the Admin's B.S. has been stopped.

Give the Democrats time, they've only been in control for 2 months. Subpoena's have been issued.
