Isikoff: Gonzales Gone But Not Forgotten - Newsweek National News - MSNBC.com: "But the departure won’t stop an aggressive internal Justice probe into last year’s mass firings of U.S. attorneys that many insiders expect to produce, at a minimum, a damning public report about how Gonzales handled the process. The investigation (headed by the department’s respected inspector general, Glenn Fine) has already turned up new documents and e-mails about the purge that have not been made public and that are inconsistent with previous Justice Department statements, according to a key witness who was recently interviewed by the investigators and was shown the material. (The witness asked not to be publicly identified while the probe is ongoing.)"

This one is for JPO... it is good to see another example of cronyism gone badly... Gonzalez, Brown, and Meiers are all demonstrations of unqualified friend-o-crats' performing poorly in the DC Big Leagues. As it turns out, there are real subject matter experts who dedicate their lives to a particular profession and tend to rise to the occasion when duty calls. The Bush administration largely ignored such professionals when making major bureaucratic selections, and the ridiculous Gonzalez scandal is another result. If the Dems are smart, however, they will drop the endless stream of investigations and get back to real policy work. You know, balancing the budget, reducing federal entitlements, deregulating health care, and preventing diversions of transportation and social security funds are among a few topics needing attention.
