In what seems to be one of the lowest of the lows, this Republican leadership is going to attempt to get Patrick Fitzgerald removed as the US Attorney from Chicago.
I guess the original plan backfired, give the CIA care to a Republican loyalist, let him sweep it under the rug, and we move on. Mr. Fitzgerald is a US Attorney first, and a Republican second so it would seem, and has not swept it under the rug, but in fact has DONE HIS JOB. Now we all know that this administration punishes the competent, and gives the "Medal of Freedom" to the incompetent.
So we find this from the Chicago Tribune.By John Chase,Tribune staff reporter Published July 28, 2005
Former U.S. Sen. Peter Fitzgerald said Wednesday he believes there is mounting political pressure to oppose the reappointment of U.S. Atty. Patrick Fitzgerald this fall, given his aggressive prosecution of government corruption in Illinois.
The former senator questioned whether House Speaker Dennis Hastert, the state’s top Republican, would support the prosecutor when President Bush decides whether to extend his term in Chicago.
But Hastert, who often battled with Sen. Fitzgerald while the two Republicans served together in Congress, quickly shot down the ex-senator’s claims. Hastert’s office said the decision rests entirely with Bush and that Hastert has no role whatsoever in whether the prosecutor keeps his job.
Fitzgerald was the state’s Republican U.S. senator in 2001 when he went outside Illinois’ political and legal circles to recommend Patrick Fitzgerald, who was then a federal prosecutor in New York. Peter Fitzgerald contends that the subsequent indictment of former GOP Gov. George Ryan and the federal investigation of Mayor Richard Daley’s City Hall have angered powerful politicians in both parties. The Fitzgeralds are not related.
“I’d be pleasantly surprised if Speaker Hastert recommended Patrick Fitzgerald for reappointment,” the former senator said in a telephone interview, echoing comments he made to WGN-TV Wednesday.
What has this great nation come to, Bush and the GOP knows they messed up, they know they have broken the law, so they are attempting to fire the man who's job it is to protect the law.
The Bush Administration, and the GOP leadership should be ashamed of themselves, they are an embarrassment to the nation.
