DOJ Still A GOP Wasteland

Ex-DOJ Voting Rights Chief: "It's Going to Take a Long Time to Cleanse" Justice Department
The U.S. Justice Department as led by Attorney Michael Mukasey is broken.
Utterly and totally broken. No part of it can be trusted any longer.
And if we cannot trust our law enforcement agencies to remain lawful, just whom can we trust?
Every agency and office within it is broken, and fully supports Injustice. The GOP has turned it from being the populace's legal representative and protector of last hope to being the GOP's official legal counsel. We citizens cannot look to our own protectors of the law for help. In fact, our safeguard has become our sworn enemy, looking out only for the interests of the party in power and for no one else. This is "The Invasion of the Body Snatchers," come terrifyingly to life.
Remember, this is all of a piece with the U.S. Attorneys firings in 2006. Keep in mind that these brave Americans, good Republicans all, were fired for either not pressing pro-GOP bogus "vote fraud" cases, not pressing phony "corruption" charges against Democrats locked in close election battles or for pressing actual live corruption investigations against Republican officials or candidates. Each of these actions piqued White House ire. So these people were simply fired for doing their jobs.
Since 2006, the DOJ has continued its bitter transformation.
The DOJ is still pushing the Karl Rove-led frivolous "investigations" of "voter fraud" (see: the politically corrupted use of the FBI in the trumped-up investigation of ACORN). That means the GOP is continuing to use a corrupted justice system as their only means of winning next month's election and holding onto power, which is the only thing Republicans aspire to.
The entire governmental apparatus has now been brought into play into salvaging the GOP position.
With "Because we can," being the official motto of the administration of George W. Bush.
Believe nothing that emerges from this federal apparatus. Our government has been turned on us.
How sad.
How chilling.
