Obama DOJ sends confidential documents on new GOP chair to Washington Post
« on: February 07, 2009, 01:58:02 PM »
Steele Hit Job

The Washington Post has quite a hit job on Michael Steele on the front page this morning, with an above-the-fold story alleging he violated a number of campaign-finance rules. Despite the purple language and frothy allegations of the story, my in-house campaign-finance expert says it is far from clear that Steele actually violated any of the increasingly arcane and impossible-to-explain federal campaign finance laws, but of course as we all know it's the appearance of impropriety that counts for Republicans.

Not until you reach well down on the jump page do you learn this interesting little detail: "The U.S. attorney's office inadvertently sent the confidential document, a defense sentencing memorandum filed under seal, to The Washington Post after the newspaper requested the prosecution's sentencing memorandum." Inadvertently sent what was supposed to be a sealed document to the Post? Yeah, sure, and the Post will sell you the Brooklyn Bridge real cheap, too.

Looks like every shady trick we saw during his campaign will be a permanent feature of his administration.  I haven't heard any complaints of "abuses" of executive power since they've been in charge.

Even if this was an accident (which I don't believe) then it makes the AG's office look like a bunch of incompetents who can't even take care with the job in the first month they have them.

I'm waiting for Pony McHope-coke to investigate ala-Blago and declare nothing unseemly occurred, period, end-of-story...or else.

What's that saying about knowing when you're hitting your target? The enemy screams?

Let's face it, they are scared of the GOP finding it's sack again. They are also scared to death of Steele. Just look at what the DNC did to him a couple of years ago.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

They're sending a very clear message that the intent of the DNC is to destroy the Republican Party at all costs.

Neither will happen until hell's first ice-skating rink opens.

That, or when Barack Obama gets a revelation about his pathological dishonesty and decides to confess that he's neither a natural-born citizen nor a Christian.

I'll take that as a "It ain't gonna happen" then.
