There was a bizarre, unexpected and massive document dump on a Monday today, by the White House, related to the firings of multiple US Attorneys. Among other things, it’s now confirmed that Bush worked with Senator Pete Domenici of New Mexico to improperly pressure, then fire, US Attorney David Iglesias for political reasons. The White House themselves, not Justice, drew up the purge list of US Attorneys. This fact directly contradicts what the public was told just weeks ago. There is about to be a large wave of resignations and firings in the White House and the Justice Department (in fact with Harriet Miers leaving the White House it’s already begun), and large numbers of subpoenas coming down from Capitol Hill. This scandal is going to be bigger than the outing of Valerie Plame in my opinion, and now threatens the office of at least one US Senator, a Representative, and the Attorney General of the United States. Don’t take my word for it, read this.
